Mercia CFO Dematerialises IPO Shares in Administrative Transfer

Mercia Asset Management ( (GB:MERC) ) just unveiled an update.

Mercia Asset Management has reported an internal share transfer by its Chief Financial Officer, Martin Glanfield, who has dematerialised an original paper share certificate from the company’s 2014 IPO and moved 260,760 ordinary shares into a custody account. The transaction, conducted on 16 December 2025 and reported under Market Abuse Regulations, does not alter Glanfield’s overall beneficial holding, which remains at 2,151,269 ordinary shares, and is therefore seen as an administrative move rather than a change in his economic interest in the company.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:MERC) stock is a Hold with a £33.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Mercia Asset Management stock, see the GB:MERC Stock Forecast page.
