Warrants are financial instruments that give holders the right to purchase a company's stock at a predetermined price within a specific time frame, usually issued alongside bonds or preferred stock to sweeten the deal. In contrast, convertible securities, such as convertible bonds or preferred shares, can be converted into a predetermined number of the company's common shares, typically at the option of the investor. While warrants are standalone options, convertible securities have an inherent debt or equity component that can be transformed into equity. Thus, the primary distinction lies in their structure and the rights they confer to the holder.

Convertible securities have a floor price primarily because they can be converted into a predetermined number of shares of the issuing company's stock. This conversion feature provides a downside protection; even if the stock price falls significantly, the value of the convertible security will not drop below its conversion value. Additionally, the bond component of convertible securities typically offers interest payments, further supporting their minimum value. Thus, the combination of these factors establishes a floor price, making them less volatile compared to regular equity.

A convertible debenture is a bond holding that has a certain right attached to it, usually a right to be converted over to stock if certain conditions are met. A warrant is another name for a "option" or "rights", in which a person holds a contract to either buy or sell a stock at a specific price.
The detachable warrants can be sold separately from the security. At the issue date, the conversion feature that is separate from security is accounted for separately with a value assigned to it ( APIC warrants). On exccercise date, warrant is excercised for cash and apic, no security is affected in the journal entry on exercise. Non detachable warrants must be sold with the security as a complete package. At the issue date all proceeds are allocated to bonds or securities. At exercise date, warrant is exercised against the security ( bond and premium) in proportion of the exercise quantity given. Example of non detachable warrant is convertible bonds.
