United Utilities boss raises £588,000 from share sale

28th Mar 2011 16:48

United Utilities chief executive Philip Green has raised £588,000 by selling 100,000 shares. Green still has 116,384 shares. The shares that were sold for 588p each were owned by Green and his wife Judy, who no longer holds any shares. In February, Green received 136,607 shares from the company's LTIP at no cost. At that time he sold 69,810 shares at 574.5p each, thereby raising £401,058. That means that Green has raised nearly £1m in six weeks. Green used to be chief operating officer at Reuters and then chief executive of Royal P&O Nedlloyd. Last Thursday, United Utilities said that it was still trading "slightly" ahead of management expectations, keeping the water utility on track for a "solid" underlying full-year result. The company has been hit by the Ofwat price review and second half profit will be lower. The full year results will be published on 26 May.
