Perpetual Warrant

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus 0.01 sec.
Perpetual Warrant
A certificate without an expiration date, usually issued with a bond or preferred stock, giving the holder the option of buying an underlying asset (in this case, usually more securities) at a certain strike price, which is usually higher than the market value of the underlying asset at the time of issue. Some warrants expire a few years after issuance but perpetual warrants can theoretically last forever. Unlike options, warrants are issued by companies during a round of financing, rather than by an individual investor or brokerage. Companies issue warrants to attract investors who might not otherwise be interested. See also: Sweetener.

perpetual warrant
A warrant that has no expiration date. Although many warrants have relatively long maturities, few are perpetual.

This analysis also makes it clear why a perpetual warrant on a currently nondividend-paying stock will not have a price equal to the stock price (as predicted by the [beta] = [alpha] theory): namely, it could only do so if it were believed that the stock would never pay a dividend.
