If Friday is a holiday, the last trading day will be the preceding Thursday.Expiration DateThe date by which an option contract is abandoned and becomes worthless unless it is exercised.

In contrast, European-style options can be exercised only at expiration, usually on Friday. Under specific circumstances, listed options will be exercised automatically at expiration unless the owner gives instructions not to exercise them. Unlike the standard term of a listed option, the expiration date of an over-the-counter option is negotiated at the time of the trade. ThesaurusSeesell-by date |
