RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:okay I am officially worried
If the warrant is exercised it will no longer be a warrant, just another stock number that can be bought or sold. At that point the warrant is no longer concidered a warrant. If all the warrants are not exercised they no longer exist and will disappear. The warrants that will be exercised will go to SDI coffers. Warrants are ways for companies to raise money and in a way compensate the investor for taking on a risk for funding a company, not to be confused with option. There are very few exchanges that trade warrants
the Key Difference Between Warrants and Options
Publicly traded options are created by the exchanges and are backed by the stock that already trades in the secondary market (the stock that is already issued that most of us buy and sell – as opposed to the primary market stock issue such as an IPO). When a Call Option is exercised, for example, the required amount of stock from the secondary market is purchased at the strike price.
Warrants on the other hand are issued directly by the company and they may trade on the exchanges or over the counter. When a warrant is exercised, the stock that is purchased upon exercising the warrants needs to be issued new by the company. These are not the shares that trade on the secondary market.
So you can see, exercising an option has no effect on the total number of common stock shares outstanding, whereas exercising a warrant increases the total number of common stock shares outstanding.
