CKG - Could be a fund with a ton of warrants selling stock so they have the cash to exercise the warrants.

If the fund pays the manager a 20% performance fee, the manager could be looking to lock in a profit.
For example, sell 300,000 shares at $10 (3 million) with a book value of $6 yields a 1.2 million profit.
Performance fee = 240 K.
Then exercise 300,000 warrants at $8 (2.4 million).

Net cash positive, even after setting aside the funds for the manager bonus.
