Re: Option exercises

Apart from considerations relating to taxes and dividends (which do not apply here), there are only two reasons why someone exercises an option:

1. The option is about to expire.
2. The holder wishes to sell the underlying shares.

For investors, #1 is neutral and #2 is bearish.
