Warrant

Warrant

A warrant gives the right to subscribe for new shares in a company at a set price.

What is a warrant?

A warrant (Swedish: teckningsoption) gives the holder the right to subscribe for new shares in a limited company in the future at a set price. It is a common part of a stock option program.

 

Warrants and dilution

When a warrant is exercised, new shares are issued through a new share issue, which increases the share capital and can cause dilution. The event must be recorded in the share ledger.
