Per LGND's 1997 (and earlier) Annual Reports, Lloyd Flanders is (was) a "Senior Vice President, Preclinical Development and R&D Project Manager". He is no longer with Ligand and I believe that he left right after the delayed NDA filing for topical Panretin. I suspect that there may have been a relationship the delay of the filing, and his departure, but I have no details.

I did ask SA last week about his recent sale of stock, and as I suspected, she confirmed that he was no longer with LGND and had to exercise options within 90 days, hence the sale of some (all?) of his holdings.
