It seems to me that the institutional investors were able to exercise the warrants for about $5.50 ($12.5Mil / 2.27 million shares) = $5.50; instead of shelling out $7 1/8.

On one hand, Ligand wanted to raise some more cash. On the other hand, the investors were willing to shell out hard cash to convert their warrants to LGND stock, at a 30% discount.

Perhaps LGND wanted to make the bottom line look a little better since it does not seem that they received any milestones in the 4th quarter.
