Director dealings: Redcentric chair spends almost £50k on shares

The AIM-traded firm said non-executive chair Nick Bate purchased 40,000 shares in the company on Tuesday for 123.75p each, spending a total of £49,500.

Following the transaction it said Bate’s total interest in the company was 40,000 shares, representing 0.026% of its total voting rights.

The purchase was made on the same day Redcentric announced the conditional acquisition of the business and assets of three Sungard data centres, as well as colocation and network services from the in-administration Sungard UK, for a maximum initial consideration of £22m.

Elsewhere, Bodycote reported a purchase worth just under £20k made by a person connected to one of its non-executive directors.

The FTSE 250 company said Nicola Boyd bought 3,000 shares on Wednesday for 654p apiece, valuing the transaction at £19,620.

It said Boyd is associated with one of its non-executive board members, Kevin Boyd, with the transaction taking place on the London Stock Exchange.
