Which of the following is issued to shareholders by a corporation as evidence of the ownership of rights to acquire its unissued or treasury stock?
A. Stock options.
B. Stock dividends.
C. Stock warrants.
D. Stock subscriptions.
Answer:C
C is corrent because stock warrants are issued to existing shareholders so that they can purchase additional shares of stock in order to maintain their ownership percentage.
A is incorrect because stock options are usually granted to officers and key employees as a form of compensation.
B is incorrect because stock dividends are a pro rata distribution of the corporation’s own shares of stock to existing shareholders based on their stock ownership. The effect of a stock dividend is to increase the number of shares outstanding without changing any shareholder’s ownership percentage.
D is incorrect because a stock subscription does not involve any rights to purchase additional shares of stock.
