Shore, absolutely not. Options are not Warrants.

The simple difference, warrants you have to purchase (potentially dilutive as shares enter the market after they are purchased directly from the company at an agreed upon price.)

Options are a grant to exercise at a future date. One could buy them, however, the majority of these, the large majority of these will never enter the market. They will be exercised, the individuals will be paid in cash not shares.

In the past, these did not even need to be disclosed, however after the dot com bust and the back dating issue that use to occur with options, they now must be publicly disclosed and expensed when they are issued.
