Cover Ratio

Quick Summary of Cover Ratio


The number of warrants required to exercise into one share, or one unit of the underlying asset. Also known as the subscription ratio, exercise ratio, conversion ratio, entitlement ratio, parity ratio, multiplier, or set.

Take care when applying the cover ratio: some issuers express the ratio as an inverse, so that a cover ratio of 100 will be written as 0.01.
