>This kind of action makes one wonder what is really happening.
>The fundamentals of LGND have not changed.

The market seems to be saying that LGND was overpriced at $16 (14, 12, ...). The funamentals did not change much when LGND went from $11 to $18 a few months ago either. You should look at this both ways.

>Did someone offer to buy a large number of share but only at 10 or below?

More likely someone wants to sell a large number of shares and the MM's are bringing down the ask in order to find some buyers. If they still can't find any buyers, then the MM must buy the shares.

>If so why not a private sale?

That would make the most sense. With mutual fund managers lightening their holdings in risky biotechs, Allergan may not be able to find a buyer do a private deal.
