A quick definition of subscription warrant:
A subscription warrant is a type of document that gives someone the option to buy shares of a company at a certain price. It's like a coupon that lets you buy something at a discount. Warrants can also be used to authorize law enforcement to do things like make an arrest or search a property. The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution requires that warrants be issued only when there is probable cause. A warrantee is a person who receives a written warranty, which is a promise that something will work or be as described.A more thorough explanation:
A subscription warrant is a type of warrant that grants the holder the right to purchase a specific number of shares of a company's stock at a fixed price within a certain time frame. It is a long-term option that is commonly attached to preferred stocks or bonds.
For example, if a company issues a subscription warrant that allows the holder to purchase 100 shares of stock at $50 per share within the next five years, the holder can exercise the warrant and buy the shares at the fixed price of $50 per share, even if the market price of the stock has increased.
This type of warrant is used by companies to raise capital and incentivize investors to purchase their securities. It allows investors to potentially profit from the appreciation of the company's stock while also providing the company with additional funds.
