  17. Collar • Firm B has shares of firm C of value $200M • They do not want to sell the shares, but need money. • Moreover they would like to decrease the exposure to financial risk. • How to get it done? Feb-2001

  18. Collar 1. Buy a protective Put option (3y to maturity, strike = 90% of spot). 2. Sell an out-the-money Call option (3y to maturity, strike above spot). 3. Take a “cheap” loan at 90% of the current value. Feb-2001

  20. Options in Hi Tech Many firms give options as a part of compensation. There is a vesting period and then there is a longer time to expiration. Most employees exercise the options at vesting with same-day-sale (because of tax). How this can be improved? Feb-2001

  22. Example You have 10,000 vested options for 10 years with strike $5, while the stock is traded at $10. An immediate exercise will give you $50,000 before tax. Selling a (covered) call with strike $15 will give you $60,000 now (assuming interest rate 6% and 50% volatility) and additional profit at the end of the period! Feb-2001
