LONDON (Alliance News) - Tarsus Group PLC said Beverley Haywood, wife of Non-Executive Director Tim Haywood, purchased 4,509 shares at a price of 219 pence per share Wednesday.
The purchase is Tim Haywood's only beneficial interest in Tarsus.
Tarsus earlier Wednesday said it remains confident of delivering a strong performance for its full year despite swinging to a pretax loss in its first half, as its revenues are heavily weighted towards its second half due to the timing of its larger exhibitions.
The business-to-business media company posted a pretax loss of GBP1.9 million for the half year to end-June, swung from a pretax profit of GB317,000 a year before, as a rise in revenue to GBP34.0 million from GBP23.1 million was offset by a significant step up in operating costs, and an impairment loss of GBP1.8 million related to the disposal of its French business.
The stock was trading up 3.4% at 219.80p near the close Wednesday.
