A purchase right (Swedish: inköpsrätt) is a right given to the shareholders of one company to buy shares in another company, often a subsidiary, at a predetermined price. They are used, for example, in a spin-off. They resemble subscription rights, but concern shares that already exist.
Since the shares already exist, this is a transfer of shares, not a share issue. When the right is exercised, the buyer must be entered as the new owner in the other company's share ledger.
A spin-off means that part of a company, often a subsidiary, becomes an independent company of its own.
