A round-up of the biggest director deals today so far.
Sinclair Pharma's new chief executive and two non-executive directors all increased their shareholdings after the specialist pharma company's recent fundraising.
Sinclair raised £18.2m - £16m after expenses - at 32p a share to finance the purchase of Flammazine and Flammacerium, which are creams to prevent infections in burns, from Solvay. Sinclair paid €17.5m to Solvay for the two products, which generate annual revenues of more than £9m.
Chief executive Chris Spooner has invested nearly £822,000 in the shares at 32p each. He increased his stake from 3.85m shares to 6.42m shares, which gives him 4% of the company.
