What were these directors hiding?

CWJ old 1Cable & Wireless (CWJ) nearly 5 months to report insider trades by it senior directors. What were they trying to hide must be the question? Most companies report trades by insiders, a few days after the event.
There can be little excuse for this to have happened, in the case of the CWJ trades. Are there more trades that have not been reported, is an obvious question? The situation in the case of Cable & Wireless is most important, in light of the increased interest in the stock since the start of 2014, with what appears to be a trend of improving revenues and gain in market share, in a number of its business segments.
On Thursday the Jamaica Stock Exchange was informed by Cable & Wireless that that Senior Directors purchased a total of 5,290,069 shares, during the period March 17, 2014 to April 3, 2014.
The trades involved more than one person and at a senior directors’ level. As directors they have a duty to ensure information as critical as this is reported promptly, within a reasonable time to the exchange. Five months after the trades, is not reasonable.
Mayberry Investments advised that related parties conducted trading activity of 122,500 of the company’s shares on August 11 and 12, 2014.
