Plus500 to buy $30 million shares

Since the company announced its share buyback program, which commenced in February, Plus500 and a number of its top executives, have been purchasing the company’s shares.

Overall, the company will buy back up to an additional $30 million of the company’s ordinary shares. This follows on from the completion of the firm’s previous buyback program in August of 2019, in which it repurchased $50 million worth of shares.

As part of the most recent share buyback program, a number of the broker’s Co-Founders and its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) have been buying more shares in the company. As Finance Magnates reported, Alon Gonen has purchased 445,064 shares valued at £9.38, meaning he has spent more than £4.17 million.

Alongside the CEO, Omer Elazari has purchased more than £1.12 million worth of shares in the past few weeks, and Shlomi Weizmann purchased 100,000 shares, worth approximately £941,500.
