>>why pay this premium?

The premium is because the warrants give you two advantages over the stock:

1. Although you have all the up-side, if the stock drops, your loss is limited to 1 3/4. A holder of the stock can lose theoretically $6.75 based on today's price. You pay a premium for this "insurance."

2. Cost of capital - a holder of the stock has to tie up $6.75 in capital. At 5% for 3 years, this amounts to about $1. The warrant buyer has the same up-side potential as the stock buyer without incurring the cost of capital. The cost of capital is factored into the warrant's price.
