You Have Warrants — But Exercising Requires Cash

Warrants give you the right to purchase shares at a fixed price. Whether issued as part of a financing round, a SPAC transaction, or a compensation arrangement, in-the-money warrants represent real value — but converting that value requires coming up with the exercise price.

The solution: Warrants financing from SLS Group.

We provide a loan to cover your warrant exercise price, using the resulting shares as security. You capture the value in your warrants without tying up personal or business capital.

How Warrants Financing Works

1

Tell Us About Your Warrants

Share the details: the underlying stock, exercise price, number of warrants, expiration date, and any transfer restrictions in the warrant agreement.

2

We Evaluate and Structure an Offer

We assess the underlying security and review the warrant agreement. We then structure a financing package sized to cover the exercise price and closing costs.

3

Exercise Your Warrants

We fund the exercise. The shares received upon exercise are held as security for the loan.

4

Repay and Receive Your Shares

Make interest payments during the loan term. When you repay the principal, your shares are returned along with any appreciation they've gained.

Types of Warrants We Finance

Investor Warrants

Issued as part of debt financings, convertible notes, or equity rounds. Often represent a meaningful position relative to the investor's overall stake.

  • Common in private placements and PIPEs
  • Typically 3–5 year terms
  • Fixed exercise price
  • Subject to underlying stock eligibility

SPAC Warrants

Issued to SPAC investors and founders as part of the initial offering. Often subject to specific redemption and transfer provisions.

  • Public and private warrant structures
  • Exercise windows vary by deal
  • Underlying stock must be publicly traded
  • Transfer restrictions may apply

Compensation Warrants

Granted to advisors, service providers, or executives. Similar mechanics to stock options but typically issued outside of a formal equity plan.

  • Common for advisors and consultants
  • Longer expiration periods typical
  • Flexible exercise terms
  • Case-by-case evaluation

Why Finance Your Warrant Exercise?

No Upfront Cash Required

Exercise your warrants without deploying personal or business capital for the exercise price.

Capture the Full Upside

If the stock rises after you exercise, you benefit from the appreciation — not the counterparty who might have purchased your shares.

Avoid Expiration

Don't let in-the-money warrants expire because you can't fund the exercise. Financing keeps the opportunity alive.

Non-Recourse Structure

The exercised shares are the only security. Your other assets are not at risk if the stock declines significantly.

Eligibility Requirements

Key factors we evaluate when structuring a warrants financing.

Factor Requirement
Underlying Stock Publicly traded on a major U.S. exchange
Minimum Position Value $100,000+ in resulting shares after exercise
Warrant Agreement Must be reviewed for transfer and exercise restrictions
Expiration Sufficient time remaining to close before expiry
Insider / Affiliate Status Evaluated on a case-by-case basis; Rule 144 restrictions considered

Note: Each situation is evaluated individually. Contact us to discuss your specific warrants and we'll let you know quickly whether we can structure a financing package.

Case Study: Expiring Investor Warrants

Situation

An investor holds 200,000 warrants from a private placement with an exercise price of $3.00. The stock is currently trading at $9.00. The warrants expire in 90 days. Exercising the full position requires $600,000 in cash — capital the investor prefers not to deploy.

Solution

SLS Group structured a financing package covering the full $600,000 exercise price. Upon exercise, the 200,000 shares were worth $1.8M at market. SLS Group provided a $720,000 loan (40% LTV) against the shares, with the remaining equity retained by the investor.

Outcome
  • • Warrants exercised before expiration
  • • No personal capital deployed by the investor
  • • $1.08M in equity value retained
  • • Investor retained full upside on the position going forward
