Morphology

subscription + warrant

Because 'warrant' already denotes a security giving the right to buy shares, a learner who knows both words can reasonably infer this is a right related to subscribing/purchasing shares, so part of the meaning is derivable. However, the precise contractual details (specified price, expiration date) and the specialized financial usage are not fully predictable to a B1 learner, making it only partially transparent.

Etymology

Subscription warrant is like a special coupon for shares: subscription shows you signed up and warrant means a promise or right to buy at a fixed price. So, it means 'a document that gives the holder the right to buy shares at a set price before it expires'.
