Chrysalis boss adds to stake
A round-up of the biggest director deals today so far.
Chris Wright, chairman of the music group Chrysalis, spent more than £150,000 on shares in the company he co-founded yesterday, it confirmed today.
He took 300,000 shares at 56.5p each and now has nearly 19m.
Late last year, Chrysalis said its first year as a focused music and distribution firm had been "extremely challenging" due to uncertain macro economic conditions, the abandoned sale process, the US screen writers strike and ongoing declines in the entertainment market.
