Can be warrants Can be other types of securities, the correct translation depends on the exact nature of the paper you're context describes. This is a word that dictionaries can only provide suggestions as to what to look for. From your general statement, these look like warrants, but could be employee stock options, for example. Look at the definition in your context - who is getting this paper, why, and for what consideration. Then look at the definition of warrants vs. the various kinds of options possible to see what fits best.
