Director dealings: AO World CEO ups stake

(Sharecast News) - AO World said on Thursday that chief executive and founder John Roberts had purchased 882,350 ordinary shares in the FTSE 250-listed online household appliance retailer.
Roberts, who set up AO in 2000, purchased the shares on Tuesday at an average price of 168.90p each, for a total value of £1.49m.

Earlier in July, AO World announced its proposal for an all-employee 'Value Creation Plan', in which all 3,000 staff would benefit.

Aimed at incentivising and rewarding exceptional performance, and retaining its talent, while driving value creation for shareholders, it would reward value creation above a hurdle of £5.23, equivalent to a £2.5bn market capitalisation, representing "exceptional" growth of around 30% per annum.

As of 1635 BST, AO World shares were down 0.12% at 161.80p.
