James Latham ( (GB:LTHM) ) just unveiled an announcement.
James Latham’s employee benefit trust has purchased 9,500 ordinary shares over two days at an average price just under 976p, increasing its holding to 96,347 shares, or 0.48% of total voting rights. The shares are currently unallocated but may later be used for directors and other employees as part of the company’s incentive schemes.
The trust exists to satisfy vesting of awards under James Latham’s share plans, and the independent trustee may continue buying shares in the market, in consultation with its broker, to meet future requirements. This ongoing acquisition activity supports the company’s long-term incentive alignment with employees and could modestly influence share liquidity and governance dynamics over time.
