Exercising options


prawnpack

Question

I have some options that I received for nothing as part of a share purchase plan. I wish to exercise them at the agreed price of AUD 45cents (AUD 0.45). The original price of each option was 4.5 cents which is exactly one tenth of the exercise or strike price (not sure why it's exactly a tenth, but maybe someone can explain that as well). Anyway, the shares have performed well and the options have obviously followed suit and have increased in value. However, because I got them for nothing, I'd like to exercise them for the equivalent number of shares at 45 cents per share which is what was agreed in the share purchase plan. The options expire in Jan 2022.

I've emailed the IG help desk and they say that I need to email them to exercise the options because I can't exercise the options online. However, I'm not sure whether I just email the help desk or some other email address and also I don't know how to word the email. I just want to avoid any confusion so I'm hoping that someone can explain exactly how I should word the email. I would like to exercise all of the options at the 45 cents per share. Please assist.

    • Thanks very much, @KoketsoIG. That's much better than I thought it might be.  Best wishes, Cate
    • Australian shares hit new record highs as weaker-than-expected domestic inflation brought forward rate cut expectations while those in China and Hong Kong also advanced. In Europe and the U.S. stock indices also rallied with the DAX 40 and S&P 500 hitting new record highs despite hawkish comments by Fed member Waller who stated that the central bank is in "no rush" to cut rates. The U.S. dollar appreciated slightly with all eyes now on tomorrow's US PCE data release, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, and Fed Chair Jerome Powell's speech at 7.30pm on Friday which may provide volatility in thinly traded markets due to the Easter break.  
    • The BASE blockchain is steadily making its moves to conquer the crypto scene upon the next bullrun. Since BASE was announced last year, we have not really seen much off of it this seems like a floodgate for more transactions on there. With the largest DEX on Optimism; Velodrome building one of its foremost AMMs I am pretty certain it will do immensely well. This Automated Market maker is called Aerodrome, it is filled with the inherent capacity to be BASE’s central liquidity hub, combining a powerful liquidity incentive engine, vote lock governance model and friendly experience. As a stack of Velodrome V2, it inherits some of its features.  As a people centric project, it incentivizes users who contribute to the protocol’s sustainable growth with about 100% of the protocol’s incentives and fees going to VeAERO voters. Interestingly, the project has a democratised setting, where voters who lock their AERO tokens convert them to a non fungible token called VeAERO that represents voting power. Consequently, the higher the lock period, the higher the voting weight.  Being launched at about August 28, 2023, It currently stands as one of the largest protocols on BASE with more than 30% of the market shares.  The price of the native token $AERO has surged exponentially over time peaking about 900%. With the BASE chain gaining more traction as it has been lately, this token is slated to do even better. With platforms like Bitget lending it some weight, it is safe to infer the token will serve as a major catalyst to its price as well. Along the listing, there is a deposit to earn rebate event where you could easily earn over 10% rebate.
