Shaftesbury Capital ( (GB:SHC) ) has issued an announcement.
Shaftesbury Capital has disclosed that chief executive Ian Hawksworth and chief financial officer Situl Jobanputra exercised nil-cost options awarded in 2023 under the company’s Performance Share Plan and deferred bonus scheme, at a reference share price of £1.3985. Both executives then sold a portion of the newly acquired shares on 21 April to fund income tax and national insurance liabilities, while retaining the balance as direct holdings.
Following the transactions, Hawksworth’s total interest has risen to 3,428,041 ordinary shares, representing roughly 0.18% of the company’s issued share capital, and Jobanputra’s interest has increased to 1,748,867 shares, or about 0.09%. The moves modestly increase senior management’s equity exposure and were conducted and reported in line with UK Market Abuse Regulation requirements, signalling routine remuneration-related dealing rather than a change in strategic positioning.

Spark’s Take on SHC Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, SHC is a Neutral.
The score is driven primarily by solid financial positioning and improved leverage, but is capped by inconsistent cash generation and weak cash conversion. Technical signals are constructive and valuation looks attractive on a low P/E, while the earnings call adds support via upbeat guidance and strong leasing metrics tempered by refinancing and macro rate risks.
