Waterhouse offloads shares in ASX 300 favourite
The BetMakers share price is tumbling on Friday amid news one of the company's major shareholders has been selling down their stake.
Waterhouse's waging and gaming investment fund, Waterhouse VC, first bought into BetMakers in January, snapping up around 72.4 million shares. That saw the former bookie with an 8.01% stake in the company.
In September, Waterhouse's hold of the ASX 300 company was increased to 9.06% on the exercise of performance rights.
Today, a release to the ASX revealed Waterhouse has dumped the additional holding, selling it in three equal parcels. The first parcel of 3.33 million shares sold on 21 September, the second on 5 October, and the third on Wednesday.
Waterhouse walked away from the shares' sales with his pockets $11.4 million heavier and an 8.05% voting power in BetMakers.
Sadly, today's tumble is just the latest to be experienced by the BetMakers share price. It has fallen a whopping 60% since the start of this year. It's also 71% lower than it was this time last year.
Meanwhile, the ASX 300 has fallen 12% year to date and 10% over the last 12 months.
