Director dealings: BT finance boss ups stake
Simon Lowth, chief financial officer of telco giant BT, acquired 139,744 ordinary shares in the FTSE 100 constituent on Wednesday.
Lowth, who joined BT's board back in July 2016, purchased the shares at an average cost of 213p each for a total of £297,654.74.
Earlier in the day, BT was fined £77,000 by the Information Commissioner's Office, after sending almost five million nuisance emails to customers.
The 4.9m emails, sent between December 2015 and November 2016, promoted three charities.
BT said it was "disappointed" by the deicision.
"This relates to emails concerning charitable fundraising that were sent to some of our customers in 2015-16," the firm said.
"There was no financial benefit to BT and minimal impact on customers - in fact, almost five million emails elicited just one complaint."
As of 1420 BST, BT shares had collected 2.54% to 213.95p.
