As securities with rights to take over stocks of a certain company at a striking price (takeover price) fixed in advance during exercise period, Warrants are securities that have separated only warrant from BW. In the past it was possible to issue non-separable bond with warrant, however, a market for Warrant was opened in July 2000 according to revision of pertinent regulations which allow separable bond with warrant. Meantime, Right means the one for shareholders to preferentially take over such stocks that are newly issued at paid-in capital increase according to the commercial law, and the right as a form of securities is circulated as a certificate, and the market for the right was opened in January 2002.
Method of trading Warrant and Right is similar to that of stock certificate but there is no price limit considering high leverage effect and thus market order trading is not allowed.
