(Sharecast News) - The City Pub Group was at the top of the buying side of the ledger on Thursday, after two of its directors bought shares in the company.

It said executive chairman Clive Watson bought 100,000 shares for 80.5p each, spending £80,500, while non-executive director Richard Prickett purchased 50,000 shares at 51p apiece, for a total of £40,500.

The AIM-traded firm said that, following the purchases, Watson had a total shareholding of 3,548,156 shares, or 3.42% of its issued capital, while Prickett held 124,130 shares, or 0.12% of the company.

Tatton Asset Management was sitting solo on the list of sells, meanwhile, after its chief investment officer sold some of their shares into their individual savings account.

The AIM-traded firm said Lothar Mentel sold 4,900 shares out of their personal holding at a price of 4,900p each, for a total of £20,335.00.

At the same time, Mentel bought 4,900 shares into their ISA, for 415.5p apiece, meaning their beneficial interest in the company remained unchanged.
