george, Finance is clearly out of my area, but I thought that the LGNDW story was fairly straightforward. LGNDW sells for more than LGND minus 7 1/8 because of the time premium. Those who exercised early, gave up that time premium, so the were given an incentive to exercise at 5 1/2 instead of 7 1/8. The 1 5/8 reduction in exercise price is very close to the time premium that investors who buy LGNDW have been paying recently. As I recall, that premium has actually been over $2 in the past.
