LONDON (ShareCast) - Sten Mortstedt, the Executive Chairman of CLS Holdings, a property investment company, has sold by tender 368,371 shares in the company on behalf of himself and his family.
The shares were tendered for up to and including the pro rata entitlement of one ordinary share for every 76 ordinary shares at 805p per share. The family pocketed a totalled £2.97m.
Following the sale the Mortstedt family holds 23.1m shares.
Over the past year the company's share price has risen 24%, equal to 139p.
In its most recent set of results, the firm said net assets per share in the six months to June 30th rose 5.6% to 1037.7p from 983.1p at the end of 2011. The aggregate value of net assets rose 3.1% to £458.5m from the year-end figure of £444.9m, as the company enjoyed a boost from receiving planning permission for its Spring Mews mixed-use development and completed the second of its German pre-lets.
Group revenue in the first half of the year edged up to £40.0m from £39.9m the year before, but profit before tax fell to £27.3m from £37.1m, in part because the gain on the revaluation if investment properties was lower this time round at £10.1m versus £14.1m last year.
