Re SchriebźeyIf I understand you correctly...By excersiseing at .495 on jan25 and the difference in the closing price on that date of $1.29 he would be responsible to pay Income tax say at a rate of 37%...Then his cost base would be 1.29 and from that amount to whatever price he disposes his shares at lets say 3.29 he would pay capital gains on total shares x 2.00....If that is the case then you would want to trigger your income tax portion at lowest price possible...which is bullish in that he believes the price he triggered options was Low....Pay a small amount of income taxand large amount of Capital gains...Can you please confirm
