Re DELL Corporate options

GVT,

These are over the counter options, not the exchange traded variety that you are probably familiar with. DELL sets the structure and terms of the options, including the method of exercise (American or European). The trade is executed with another institution that needs or wants a long position in puts, and likes the idea of being able to buy them cheaper than they would have otherwise done on an exchange, even though that institution gives up the right inherent in an American call.

Greatly appreciate your reply, as it clarifies some points which have puzzled me for some time. However... it raises some more questions:

1. Do you know of a location which provides the status (Issuing company, number of outstanding contracts and expiration) of these options?
2. Or are they just grouped within the options data provided on the CBOE?
3. Do you know of a way to see when they are issued and expire?
4. Do you know of a way to find out which financial institutions are buying / selling / holding these equity instruments?
5. Could you define the term net share settlement in layman's terms?

Appreciate your sharing. Thanks,

DELLish, 3.
