The popularity of Fevertree 's (FEVR) shares have yet to wane, so much so that that one of the drinks makers founders decided to sell nearly twice as many shares in the company as originally intended. On 24 May 2017 the company stated that Charles Rolls, co-founder and non-executive deputy chairman, intended to sell 2.5m ordinary shares through an accelerated bookbuild placing to institutional investors. But demand from institutional investors was greater than anticipated, and so Mr Rolls ended up selling 4.5m ordinary shares.
The sale represents around 3.9 per cent of issued shares in Fevertree and were sold at 1,625p per share to institutional investors through Investec. Mr Rolls still holds just over 12.9m shares in the company, or 11.2 per cent of issued share capital, and will not dispose of any more shares for at least the next six months.
