Ann: EXG: Scheme between Spitfire and Excelsior now effective, page-59

It all seems a little fishy. Most of yesterday's trades came well before the announcement of NB's 700k on the previous day.

It was also stated that NB's trade was two days into a blackout period which usually last 14 days, so I would imagine it would mean a market sensitive announcement is due at the end of next week. Because the trade was 'scheduled' to his SMSF and not himself it was deemed inadvertent by the company.

Are there ways to find out if a director has purchased on the market well before an announcement has been made? I would think the only people who should know are the company secretary and the ASX.
