<p>If you own an option and the underlying stock has a merger, you need to reenter your option information with the post-merger information. First, delete your original option transaction. <alink type="prcdr" href="deleteatransaction.xml"/> Then, using the information you receive from your broker, enter your option transactions again. Be sure to use your original transaction dates and the post-merger stock information. </p>
