Could be, we shall see.
Thinking about what will happen to option exercise, my feeling is that option holders will get 12 ADR's, I cannot see it working any other way.
For example, If I sold covered calls on TBR because I had say 1000 shares, then I could sell 10 covered calls, when these are exercised then if TBR is still listed then I would give them my shares, if TBR is no longer listed, (the shares have been automatically swapped for 12 ADRS'), then I will hand over the 12 ADR's. The discussions about getting TBH's seems flawed, as I would need to pay the difference between the 12 ADRS and the TBH, + commission to fulfill the exercise.
Seems like the 12 ADR's is the only thing that would work, unless the CBOE paid for the conversions, which seems unlikely.
