How Do I Report An Exercise Of Options?

There are the following two steps to report the exercise of an option:

Step 1 – Report the number of options being exercised as a disposition. Use nature of transaction code 51 to show the disposition. If you are not sure of the number of underlying shares, you can ask the insider affairs contact person found in the issuer profile supplement of the company. Enter the date of the transaction, the exercise price, etc. and then go through the steps required to certify and file your report.

Step 2 – Show an acquisition of the underlying security (e.g., common shares) equal to the appropriate number of options exercised. Use nature of transaction code 51 to report the acquisition of the common shares.
