what happens to a call option in a cash/stock acquisition?
user
i believe that your option contracts will become "non-standard" and will be for a combination of ace stock and cash.  the allocation between stock and cash should follow that of the acquisition parameters of the underlying - probably with fractional shares converted to cash. hence 1 call contract for 100 shares of cb will become 1 call contract for 60 shares of ace + $6293 cash + a cash correction for the 0.19 fractional share of ace that you would have had claim to get.  the corrections should be 0.19 sh x $62.93/sh.
