Investopedia explains 'Carrot Equity'

Unlike a call option, the current shareholder does not have to pay a premium to purchase additional shares; they can be purchased from the company at a predetermined price without having to purchase an option or warrant.

This term is British slang and likely originated from the practice of urging an animal onwards by attaching a carrot on a stick to its head.
