Frugl Group Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

The Corporate Independent Non-Executive Director Mathew Walker made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for AU$245k worth of shares at a price of AU$0.02 each. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being AU$0.009). Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. We always take careful note of the price insiders pay when purchasing shares. It is generally more encouraging if they paid above the current price, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels.
