This case addresses securities that allow the holders to acquire stock directly from the issuing corporation either by purchase (warrants) or by exchanging convertible debt of the corporation for its stock. One can deem warrants and convertible debt as two different types of the same category of...

Die Arbeit bietet einen praxisorientierten Leitfaden zur Beurteilung von Optionen in der Fusionskontrolle nach deutschem und europäischem Recht. Sie untersucht umfassend, ob und wann Optionen als Kontrollinstrument genutzt werden können und wie sie Marktstrukturen durch faktische...

We derive the effect of plausible deniability on asset risk premia in a dynamic setting with correlated firm values, systematic risk, and risk-averse investors. Firms optimally exercise American disclosure options, which are more valuable due to the possibility that other correlated firms may...

We utilize a novel data panel of institutional short-sell transactions (with identification flags for hedgers and non-hedgers), equity covered put warrant data, and securities lending data based on the Taiwan market to show that put warrant derivatives hedge re-balancing raises borrowing costs...

Turbo warrants are represented as a combination of two path-dependent exotic derivatives. In this report we studied pricing formulas for a typical turbo call under Black-Scholes, stochastic volatility, and jump-diffusion market models. While majority of the pricing formulas thus surveyed have...

Covered warrants are securities that confer on their holder a right (and not an obligation) over a certain financial asset (underlying asset).Warrants may confer the following rights (i) to buy the underlying asset; (ii) to subscribe to the underlying asset; (iii) to sell the underlying asset;...

Abstract. Equity warrants are instruments that bestow upon the holder of the instrument the right to buy a particular stock at a predetermined price within a stipulated time frame. However, to gain this right, the buyer of such warrants usually needs to make an upfront payment to the warrants...

This paper explores the tradition of awarding of royal warrants in monarchies in the EU. In order to determine the legality of awarding royal warrants, EU State aid law and national public law are analysed. The analysis shows that legal analysis of royal warrants rests on the public/private...

Funding for the arts is quite frequently commended by certain political philosophers and political pundits (whom I shall call “edificatory perfectionists”) as a policy that can incline people to improve their ways of life by taking advantage of cultural opportunities. By contrast, this...

We use proprietary brokerage data to study trading patterns within a well-known financial market bubble: that in the Chinese warrants market. Persistently successful investors traded very actively and exhibited characteristics of de facto market makers. Unskilled investors unprofitably...

In several countries, classical options markets coexist with markets for bank-issued options, also termed warrants. It is an open question if warrant issuers purely adopt options market information about future volatility or if they contribute to volatility discovery by their own. As a result,...

We use brokerage account records to study trading during the Chinese put warrants bubble and find evidence consistent with extrapolative theories of speculative asset price bubbles. We identify the event that started the bubble and show that investors engaged in a form of feedback trading based...

India is turning inward. Domestic demand is assuming primacy over export-orientation and trade restrictions are increasing, reversing a 3-decade trend. This shift is based on three misconceptions, which we dispel: that India’s domestic market size is big, India’s growth has been based on...

This article visits the question of whether canceled warrants (CWs) have a positive effect on LME metal prices. To examine this question carefully, a regression model is applied. This paper finds a statistically significant positive link between CWs and LME metal prices, including aluminum,...

We show that the design of speculative retail products strongly influences the aggregate exposure of retail investors. Using proprietary data on bank-issued knock-out warrants, we find that individual investors trading these warrants, on aggregate, speculate against the short-term trend of the...

As of 12/31/21, Amazon held $22 billion of equity and warrants in related companies. In fact, it often requests a free grant of warrants when it enters into a new commercial agreement with a supplier. Over the past 20 years, Amazon has gotten warrants almost 20 publicly traded companies and more...

"By many measures, the Eurodollar futures and options complex has been the most successful in the world. Since its introduction in 1981, the tremendous volume and open interest of the Eurodollar complex have made the Chicago Mercantile Exchange the envy of other exchanges, from São Paulo to...

The paper bridges a gap in the literature by using moment analysis, CAPM statistics, stochastic dominance (SD) test, and volume analysis to examine investor preferences for warrants between China and Taiwan, and investigating why the market for warrants in China has to close while the market for...

We investigate whether firms manage stock prices in anticipation of share issuance. Warrant exercise results in share issuance and warrant expiration dates are fixed years in advance, which precludes market timing. We predict firms manage stock prices to prevent (induce) warrant exercise when...

We examine the issuance choice across rights issues of equity, unit offerings and standalone warrants and investigate the market reactions to these issue types. We find that agency costs, growth opportunities and current funding needs relative to assets in place are prime drivers of the type of...

Based on a rational option pricing framework that incorporates short-selling and margin-trading constraints in the stock market, we present evidence that Chinese warrant prices, which are regarded as bubbles in the previous literature, can be explained by a new option pricing model. Based on the...

We conduct the most comprehensive study to date of the Chinese warrants market in terms of the length of the sample period and the variety of the warrants investigated. During our sample period from August 2005 to September 2009, the underlying Chinese stock market peaked in October 2007, and...

The particular study is the first academic attempt to review a new financial instrument, the covered warrants, which were listed for trading in the Athens Exchange within the framework of the recapitalization of the three systematic Greek banks (Alpha Bank, National Bank of Greece and Piraeus...
