It's a bit confusing but does make sense. Imagine wanting to buy 20% (or 100%) of Apple in the public markets. If you try in normal trading it will either take months based on trading volume or you'll bid up the price as you're buying.

People looking to own larger pieces of a business are often willing to pay a premium to folks trying to buy smaller pieces.
