The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Freedom Foods Group

Independent Non-Executive Chairman Perry Gunner made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for AU$435k worth of shares at a price of AU$4.41 each. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at around the current price of AU$4.51. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future.
