MYSTERY BUYER OF
5.4m WESTLAND SHARES
A vital block of shares which could
decide the outcome of the Westland
rescue was sold today, but no-one will
say who was the buyer.
The block of nearly 5.4m shares, about
9% of the votes, was sold by
institutional holder Robert Fleming
Investment Management.
The price offered by the mystery buyer
was well over the odds and Westland
shares jumped 3p as a result.
The shares cannot be registered in time
to use as votes but one side will be
denied their value when the count comes
