"Mr Johnson remains extremely positive about the Companys position and its outlook in the short and long term."
As soon as I read this I knew it was a sale of shares rather than a purchase. Either:
1) Mr Johnson's entity is into short term trading and sees a short term top;
2) The funds are urgently required elsewhere, or
3) LNC is full of hot air and the shares are overvalued.
Hope it's not 3)....
