A director can borrow money from his/her company.
So theoretically, borrowing money to help a director to buy or sell own shares is possible. Because, by definition we know that a company is an artificial being. So, there may be relationship between a person and a company or more precisely a director and a company; there is nothing to do "How that money will be utilized by that director." The most important question to the lender will be whether he/she get back the money or not, what to be done with that money is not a primary query for the lender.
But company law of a country may or may not accept that.
