Is it possible for me to “give-up exercise” for an options contract?

If you want to give-up the exercise right of an in-the-money option, you may:

• Sell the option in the open market and keep the gain.
• Send an email to bbae@rbsecurities.com at least three hours prior to the market close.

Your email should be in the following format and be sent from the email account that is registered with your account:
