Both legs are disclosed under the JSE Listings Requirements, with clearance obtained, and the filing gives no further detail on the director's holding or his reasons.","plain_english":"A senior manager at one of AVI's big subsidiaries was awarded 2 226 shares under a company bonus plan and sold them on-market the same day at R82.50, a disclosed value of R183 645.00.

It says nothing about how AVI is trading.","rating":"Neutral","event_posture":"no_edge","verdict":"A mechanical plan event, not a signal about the business. The award and the sale are the same 2 226 shares on the same day, and the disclosed value of the sale is R183 645.00.
