🎟 Understanding Warrants on DealMaker
Some investment offerings on DealMaker include warrants, which give you the option to purchase additional securities (such as shares) in the future. This article explains what a warrant is, how to manage them, and what to know before exercising your rights.
🧾 What Is a Warrant?
A warrant is a security that gives you the right — but not the obligation — to purchase additional securities of the company at a specific price (the "exercise price") and within a set period of time (before the "expiration date").
Warrants are commonly offered as sweeteners in early-stage investment rounds or Reg A/Reg D campaigns.
📌 Warrants do not represent ownership until they are exercised and converted into shares.
🛠 How Do I Register My Warrants?
You will be asked to register your warrants under a legal name, which is used to record ownership.
The name should match your subscription agreement or entity name
If you’re registering under a trust or entity, include the full legal designation
Be accurate — changes may require formal request and documentation
🔗 What name should I enter to register my warrants under?
🔁 Can I Change the Registration of My Warrants?
Yes, but any change to the name or ownership structure must be requested through DealMaker Support. You may be asked to provide documentation, especially if registering under a trust, corporate entity, or estate.
🔗 Can I change the registration of my warrants?
💵 Why Was I Charged When Exercising My Warrants?
When you exercise your warrant, you're purchasing new securities — usually at a preset price per unit. The charge reflects the cost of converting your warrants into shares and may also include applicable processing fees.

🕐 When Is the Deadline to Exercise?
Each warrant has an expiration date, after which it can no longer be exercised. This deadline is listed in your offering documents and may also be communicated via email reminders or your DealMaker dashboard.
📌 It is your responsibility to exercise your warrants before they expire.

📊 Can I Exercise Only a Portion?
Yes — many warrant structures allow for partial exercise, meaning you do not need to exercise all of your warrants at once.
For example:
If you hold 1,000 warrants, you may choose to exercise 500 now and the remaining 500 later (before the expiration date).
🔗 Can I exercise only a portion of my warrants?
🧠 Additional Notes
Warrant activity may involve additional documentation or actions by the company or transfer agent
Not all offerings include warrants — review your subscription documents to confirm
Exercising a warrant is optional — no action is required unless you choose to purchase the underlying securities
