Lotte Group Chairman Dong-bin Shin sold about 12.2 billion won ($8.4 million) worth of Lotte Shopping (023530) shares on the open market.

Shin sold 118,180 Lotte Shopping shares over three days — on the 28th and 31st of last month and on the 1st — according to a regulatory filing with the Financial Supervisory Service's electronic disclosure system.

The sales reduce Shin's holdings in Lotte Shopping to 2,774,869 shares from 2,893,049 shares. His stake falls to 9.81% from 10.23%. The chairman sold the shares to secure cash liquidity.

Shin disclosed last month that he planned to sell 324,100 Lotte Shopping shares, or 1.15% of the company. The sale price was set at 130,400 won per share, for a total of 42.26 billion won. After the sale, Shin's stake would fall to 9.08% from 10.23%.
