Explanation

Why C — Warrants have a longer expiration period and are exercisable above the current market price at issuance

Warrants typically have longer expiration periods (often years or even perpetual) and have exercise prices set above the current market price at the time of issuance. Rights, by contrast, expire in a short period (usually 30-45 days) and have subscription prices set below the current market price to encourage exercise.
