The open-market side counts 1 purchase for €585 alongside 2 sales for €2.2M. The net balance comes to €2.2M on the selling side. Buying on the open market means paying the going price with one's own funds, a different act from receiving shares as pay. Outside the open market, there are 4 share grants. So far in 2017, the count stands at no purchases and 2 sales.

On 6 December 2017 came the latest disclosure, an open-market sale for €2.1M in Biffa plc. The latest purchase dates back some time: it was published 3,602 days ago, on 29 December 2016. Half of the filings or more reach the RNS (LSE) feed on the day of the trade. For comparison, UK MAR gives managers three business days to notify a trade. Selling is not necessarily a view on the stock: liquidity needs and diversification are common motives. Source: insider filings from RNS (LSE). Past trades are no guide to future returns.
