Rightmove finance director Robyn Perriss has picked up about £1m in shares bonus schemes.

Yesterday evening, Rightmove said that she had exercised her right to acquire 5,234 shares awarded at nil cost in March 2016, in respect of her 2015 financial bonus.

She subsequently sold all of the ordinary shares received at an average price of 4948.045p per share.

Perriss also yesterday exercised her right to acquire 20,133 performance shares awarded at nil cost in March 2015.

These included rolled up dividend payments of 708 shares.

She subsequently sold 14,798 of these ordinary shares at an average price of 4948.045p per share and retained 5,335 ordinary shares.

Perriss became finance director in 2012, succeeding Nick McKittrick when he became Rightmove’s chief executive.

He in turn stood down last year, with Peter Brooks-Johnson now in charge at Rightmove.
