Mirror Group shares show little reaction to surprise departure

Article Abstract:

Mirror Group PLC shares were not affected in any way by the surprise resignation of deputy CEO Kelvin MacKenzie. The market reaction to the resignation did not have a significant effect on the shares of the Mirror Group although analysts noted that a reason for the strength of the company's shares was the takeover speculation surrounding it. MacKenzie resigned from the company to take charge of a consortium that was in the bidding for a national radio license. MacKenzie will take a position in MVI, the company which has a 35% stake in the consortium.
