The share may be in cash (cash) or in kind (tangible or intangible assets).
A share with warrants (or hybrid share) is a security made up of a conventional share and a warrant.
The warrant is a right to subscribe for new shares, while the acquisition warrant is a right to purchase new shares. Its distinctive feature is based on the separation of the two securities when they are listed on the markets.
A bond warrant is a security consisting of a traditional share and a bond subscription or purchase warrant.
This warrant gives the holder the right to acquire new bonds issued by an entity at a preferential price, but within a predefined period.

The rate of return indicates the return on an investment in a bond. Yield should not be confused with coupon. The yield fluctuates over the life of the bond according to its price (i.e. its current price), whereas the coupon is fixed at the time of issue.
When you buy bonds, the yield is sometimes higher or lower than the coupon. It is easier to have bonds with a yield different from the coupon on Euronext Expert Market.
