Option Contract ExampleYou expect Company XYZ's stock price to go up to $90 within the next month. You find out that you can buy an option contract for this company at $4.50 with a strike price of $75 per share. That means you'll pay $450 for your options contract ($4.50 x 100 shares).

The first benefit of exercising early is that you will likely have zero (or very little) tax liability at the time of exercise.
When a merger is completed the two companies that merged combine into a new entity. At that time, trading in the options of the previous entities will cease and all options on that security that were out-of-the-money will become worthless. Generally, this is determined by the very last closing price on that stock.
Key TakeawaysIn most cases, options can be closed (rather than exercised) through offsetting transactions prior to expiration. It doesn't make a lot of sense to exercise options that have time value because that time value will be lost in the process.
