LONDON (ShareCast) - Shares in Sinclair Pharma moved higher after the speciality drug company said today that its chief executive and finance boss bought into the company yesterday.

Chief executive Michael Flynn bought 1,000 shares at 40.15p each, while his wife Sookja bought just over 540,000 shares at 38.3p each.

The couple now own a combined total of more than 10m shares in the company, or 10.7%.

Chief financial officer Jerry Randall bought 250,000 shares at 38.25p a go, lifting his stake to 785,000 shares, or around 0.84% of the company.

Sinclair said in February that it reduced its half year operating losses to £863,000 from £2.6m last time and increased revenues by 15% to £10.4m. The positive results came despite delays in the US launch of Decapinol, a treatment for reducing dental plaque.
