| To-be-CFA | Warrants are issued by the corporations. |
| GBolt93 | Would a corporation also not want to issue a warrant if it expected the underlying stock price to rise? |
| Rm178234 | A is also false. Stock needs to be above the warrant exercise price in order to be exercised. |
| Haoran | @Rm178234: they don't have to be above exercise price to be executed. The owner will not make money though. |
I used your notes and passed ... highly recommended!
