A right issued by a company to buy its own shares later at a fixed price, frequently allotted to promoters.
Watch the strike price and who holds them. Promoter warrants priced well below where the share eventually trades are a transfer from minority shareholders, disclosed in the notes rather than announced.
An issue of shares or warrants to named persons — frequently promoters or a strategic investor — approved by shareholders and priced at or above a regulatory floor.
New shares are created and sold to somebody in particular, so the count rises while your holding does not. Nothing about it is adjusted on the chart.
