This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13G amends the Schedule 13G initially
filed on November 8, 2004 (collectively, with all amendments thereto, the
"Schedule 13G").
First Preliminary Note: The Reporting Persons (as defined below) are
filing this Schedule 13G with respect to the shares of Common Stock, par value
$0.001 per share (the "Shares"), of Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (the
"Company"). Certain of the Reporting Persons own, in aggregate, (i) $18,800,000
principal amount of 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "Convertible
Notes") issued by the Company, each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes
immediately convertible to 161.9905 Shares, and (ii) Warrants (the "Warrants")
issued by the Company to purchase 357,006 Shares. Each Warrant has an exercise
price of $10 per Share, is immediately exercisable and has an expiration date of
October 6, 2006. If all of such Convertible Notes and Warrants were converted or
exercised, as applicable, the Reporting Persons would own, in aggregate,
3,402,427 Shares. All numbers and percentages contained in this Schedule 13G
represent Shares and not Convertible Notes or Warrants (unless stated
otherwise). For information regarding the Convertible Notes, see the Company's
Registration Statement on a Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on January 13, 2003, as amended. For information regarding the
Warrants, see the Company's Annual Statement on a Form 10K filed with the
