Warrants

A warrant is a right to buy shares later, at a stated price. Exercise can create shares. Not advice.

A right, not a share

A warrant is a right to buy shares at an exercise price, before an expiry. Until it is exercised, it is not a share in circulation.

Exercise is usually with the company. The shares delivered can be new shares. That is a possible path to dilution, not a sale already done.

The written price

The exercise price and the expiry are in the filing that describes the warrant. A quote above that price does not mean holders exercise today.

A reverse split often adjusts the count and the exercise price. You read the adjustment in the filing. You do not recompute it from memory.

This is not financial advice.
