The purchases are made at prices ranging from 73.29 pence to 73.56p and are worth about GBP240,224 in total. Naylor joined as chair at the start of November. He is chief executive of Intuitive Investments PLC and had been a director of Hipgnosis peer Round Hill Music Royalty Fund Ltd. Naylor's arrival followed a profit warning by Hipgnosis and a decision to skip dividend payments. This in turn followed Hipgnosis shareholders rejecting a deal to sell music catalogues to a company controlled by its investment manager.
