If you have call options, obviously you own the right to buy shares. Whatever the specifics of this deal are or turn out to be, will be reflected in the price of the stock and the value of your options will increase accordingly. You don't need to do anything out of the ordinary with your options. You will choose to sell them or exercise them as you would normally. If the deal specifically says that you have to actually own the shares as of a specific date to somehow benefit, then you may want to exercise the option prior to that date. However,in my opinion, everything will be priced into the stock, which in turn is reflected in the value of the option.
