Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by Independent Non-Executive Director Rebecca Thompson for AU$148k worth of shares, at about AU$0.37 per share. So it’s clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being AU$0.36). It’s very possible they regret the purchase, but it’s more likely they are bullish about the company. In our view, the price an insider pays for shares is very important. Generally speaking, it catches our eye when insiders have purchased shares at above current prices, as it suggests they believed the shares were worth buying, even at a higher price.
