Mr Teufelberger, who has worked in the gaming industry since 1989, is on GVC's board as a non-executive director following the purchase of his company by Bwin Party in 2016. He had led Bwin since 2001.
Stock market announcements show thar one 800,000 share sale and another 500,000 share sale, both at 644.5p, by a "person closely associated" with Mr Teufelberger were made on 5 January 2017. After both transactions, which represent nearly half of the owner's stake, more than 1.4m shares are still held. Shortly after the GVC deal completed, Mr Teufelberger sold 460,000 shares at 490p, netting himself more than £2.2m.
