A2's millionaires still dumping stock
Myriam RobinColumnistAug 27, 2020 – 5.49pmKiwi milk company (and ASX darling) A2 is near its historic highs, and you better believe a swag of insiders are locking in their paper gains.
From the ASX comes news of chairman David Hearn's Monday dumping of 250,000 shares through a broker facility. It's about a fifth of his total holdings, sold at $18.60 a pop (converted from New Zealand dollars), for a total gain of $4.6 million.
And because New Zealand's bourse makes companies disclose the equity holdings of far more than the board, we know he wasn't alone.

Through presumably the same facility, newly returned chief Geoffrey Babidge dumped 100,000 shares, a quarter of his holdings, for $1.9 million. Which is more than the $1.6 million base pay he makes in a year heading up A2.
Lower down the ranks, massive disposals were the order of the day.

Meanwhile, HR and sustainability chief Lisa Burquest vested and immediately sold 9868 time-based share rights, which cost her nothing to exercise but which were sold for a total of $184,307.
At least chief operations officer Shareef Khan doesn't seem keen to flog every share not nailed down. He sold 200,000 shares (for $3.6 million), but also laid down $230,702 exercising 400,000 NZ63c options, ending up with twice as many shares as he started with.
And to think A2 listed at 56¢ five years ago. It's minted a few millionaires since.
