Short definition

A security giving its holder the right to obtain shares under a specified exercise price, term and other contractual conditions. Shares underlying an unexercised warrant must be distinguished from shares already held. Exercise may lead to issuance and dilution; registering shares for resale records neither exercise nor an actual sale.

A warrant gives access to shares under its terms; registration does not record its exercise.
