Share Purchase Rights

A type of security that gives the holder the option, but not the obligation, to purchase a predetermined number of shares at a predetermined price, similar to a stock option or warrant. These rights are typically distributed to existing shareholders, who have the ability to trade these rights on an exchange.

Investopedia Commentary

The rights only give you the ability to purchase the shares, you still must pay for the shares if you want to redeem the rights.
