Director Paschke purchased 5,000 shares at $13.39, increasing his holdings by 20.0% to 30,056 shares.

Director Olsen Geir initiates position with 11,750 shares of PRAA at $21.39, first holdings ever at company.
Olsen Geir, a director at PRA GROUP, purchased 11,750 shares for $251,332.50 at $21.39 on 2024-08-07, establishing a position where he held zero shares pre-transaction. The stock has traded down to $22.37 from a 52-week high of $28.00 and is -15.5% over 90 days, though it recovered +15.7% over the past month. This purchase occurs against a backdrop of concerning fundamentals: the company reported -17.0% annual revenue growth and was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. While a director's first acquisition could indicate incremental confidence in management strategy, the company's deteriorating profitability and declining revenue trajectory present meaningful headwinds that warrant scrutiny of whether this represents genuine conviction or a routine board-compensation-related acquisition.
