CSL Chart, page-343

A poor day's trade for CSL shares has been compounded by a large sale by one of its biggest shareholders. 

It is understood one selling shareholder was behind two lines of shares, together worth $266 million, that crossed in early Tuesday afternoon trade. 

The lines included one giant parcel of 1.43 million shares, worth $250 million, and a smaller line of 93,000 shares. 

Both lines traded at $175.50 a share via UBS's institutional equities desk, led by George Kanaan, investor sources said. 

The trades were made at a 3.7 per cent discount to CSL's last close, and at a time when the shares were down about 3 per cent for the day.
