LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - The founder of gaming and slot machine platforms provider Quixant and two other directors together sold £8.4m of shares in the company on Monday in order to "satisfy market demand" and "broaden the institutional shareholder base" of the AIM-quoted firm.
Nick Jarmany, who was Quixant founder chief executive back in 2005 and has since taken the position of executive vice-chairman, sold £5.36m of shares, offloading 1.3m shares at a price of 410p apiece.

The former CEO still held 10.87m ordinary shares, or 16.5% of the group's entire issued share capital, after the disposal.

New chief executive Jon Jayal and strategic sales director Gary Mullins, a fellow founding member of the firm, also lowered their stakes by 100,000 and 629,848 shares, respectively, collecting £410,000 and £2.58m in the process.

Since Jarmany led Quixant's flotation on AIM in the summer of 2013 at 46p the shares have jumped to 424.25p by the close on Monday.
