Share Purchase Rights

A type of security that gives the holder the option, but not the obligation, to purchase a predetermined number of shares at a predetermined price. This is similar to a stock option or warrant. These rights are typically distributed to existing shareholders, who have the ability to trade these rights on an exchange.
