Right
Definition
Security: A certificate that permits the owner to purchase a certain number of shares, or, frequently, a fractional share of new stock from the issuer at a specific price. Rights are issued to existing stockholders in proportion to the number of shares the stockholders already own. Rights then may be combined with cash to purchase the new shares or they may be sold to other investors. Rights usually have value because they permit the owner to purchase shares of stock at less than the market price.
Term
Warrant

Security: a warrant entitles the holder to buy stock of the issuing company at a specified price, which can be higher or lower than the stock price at time of issue.
