Tabular disclosure of the freestanding option contracts issued by an entity that are indexed to, and potentially settled in, an entity's own stock. Includes disclosure on the strike price and the number of shares to which the contract is indexed, the settlement date or dates of the contract, and the issuer's accounting for the contract. If the terms of the contract provide settlement alternatives, those settlement alternatives are disclosed, including who controls the settlement alternatives, and the maximum number of shares that could be required to be issued, to net share settle the contract, if applicable. If a contract does not have a fixed or determinable maximum number of shares that could be required to be issued, the fact that a potentially infinite number of shares that may be required to be issued to settle the contract is disclosed. Disclosure also includes the contract's current fair value for each settlement alternative and how changes in the price of the issuer's equity instruments affect those settlement amounts.

Tabular disclosure of warrants or rights issued. Warrants and rights outstanding are derivative securities that give the holder the right to purchase securities (usually equity) from the issuer at a specific price within a certain time frame. Warrants are often included in a new debt issue to entice investors by a higher return potential. The main difference between warrants and call options is that warrants are issued and guaranteed by the company, whereas options are exchange instruments and are not issued by the company. Also, the lifetime of a warrant is often measured in years, while the lifetime of a typical option is measured in months. Disclose the title of issue of securities called for by warrants and rights outstanding, the aggregate amount of securities called for by warrants and rights outstanding, the date from which the warrants or rights are exercisable, and the price at which the warrant or right is exercisable.
