Hunting CEO ditches 100,000 shares

Date: Tuesday 01 May 2012

LONDON (ShareCast) - The Chief Executive Officer of FTSE 250 energy services provider Hunting has sold off 100,000 shares in the firm at 945p each.

Dennis Proctor, who has been a director of Hunting for twelve years, made the £945,000 sale to satisfy personal tax liabilities, the company said.

Following the transaction, the director now holds 1,220,472 shares, equal to 0.83% of the firm's share capital.

The company's share price has performed well over the past year, gaining over 17%, or 139p.

Just over a month ago the Hunting revealed that it sold its Canadian airport business for £7.5m.

Hunting Canadian Airport Holdings, which includes Field Aviation, was bought by a consortium of North American investors put together by the current management team.

Hunting agreed to defer £1.9m of the deal, which it will receive by the end of 2018 and on which it will earn interest at a rate of 8% a year in the meantime, the firm said.

On the day of Proctor's sale, the share price fell 0.58% to 945.50p.
