LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - The Hut Group revealed on Friday that senior independent director Zillah Byng-Thorne had acquired 32,291 ordinary shares in the London-listed e-commerce company.
Byng-Thorne, who joined THG as a director in 2018, purchased the shares on Thursday at an average price of 200.20p each, for a total value of £64,646.59.

Separately, Max Thorne, a person closely associated with the group's director, also snapped up 25,300 ordinary THG shares at an average price of 196.20p each.

Earlier in the week, US asset manager BlackRock was said to have been preparing to sell nearly half of its stake in THG, sending shares in the business into free-fall.

According to Reuters, bookrunner Goldman Sachs said on Tuesday that THG's second-largest shareholder's planned sale of 58.0m shares was priced at 195.0p per share - a 10.3% discount to the stock's closing share price on Monday.

Last month, THG shares tumbled after a capital markets day focused on its e-commerce technology platform Ingenuity failed to reassure investors.

As of 1530 BST, THG shares were up 8.36% at 212.60p.
