8. warrant
   A company may issue warrants to their shareholders, as part of a change in their share capital. They are not shares. Warrants give you the right, but not the obligation to buy shares in the company issuing the warrants, on a fixed date(s), at a fixed price. You can sell your warrants at any time before the fixed date. The value of the warrant is worked out by comparing the fixed price of the warrant against the market price of the shares. Warrants generally do not entitle you to dividends or voting rights.
