TechMARK movers: Middle East contract for Vislink

14th Sep 2010 13:54

Vislink is supplying a satellite newsgathering system to Qatar-based Salam Media Cast. This will be part of a system supplied by Salam to one of its broadcasting customers. Eight uplink systems are being supplied to Salam. This is on top of the orders worth £3m announced one week ago. Chip designer ARM Holdings is lower after yet more selling by its directors and management. They have taken advantage of the strong rise in the share price due to expected new contracts. Many had already sold shares last week, some because they had taken up options. ARM's president Tudor Brown has sold 150,000 shares at 402.5p each, raising just over £600,000. Brown has 916,834, which is barely half his holding last November. Chief technology officer Mike Muller sold 300,000 shares at 402.37p each, while fellow executive director Mike Inglis sold 100,000 shares at 402p each. Non-executive director Young Sohn sold the equivalent of 75,000 shares in the form of ADRs. Two other managers sold shares with one exercising options and selling all the shares.
