An early assignment is most likely to happen if the call option is deep in the money and the stock’s ex-dividend date is close to the option expiration date.
If your account does not hold the shares needed to cover the obligation, an early assignment would create a short stock position in your account. This may incur borrowing fees and make you responsible for any dividend payments.
Also note that if you hold a short call on a stock that has a dividend payment coming in the near future, you may be responsible for paying the dividend even if you close the position before it expires.

This means your account must have enough money to buy the shares of the underlying at the strike price or you may incur a margin call. Actions you can take: If you don’t have the money to pay for the shares, you can buy the put option before it expires, closing out the position and eliminating the risk of assignment and the risk of a margin call. |
An early assignment generally happens when the put option is deep in the money and the underlying stock does not have an ex-dividend date between the current time and the expiration of the option.
Short call + long call
(The same principles apply to both two-leg and four-leg strategies)
If the and the at expiration |
---|
This means your account will deliver shares of the underlying—i.e., sell them at the strike price. Actions you can take: If you don’t have the shares to sell, or don’t want to establish a short stock position, you can buy the short call before expiration, closing out the position. If the short leg is closed before expiration, the long leg may also be closed, but it will likely not have any value and can expire worthless. |
This would leave your account short the shares you’ve been assigned, but the risk of the position would not change . The long call still functions to cover the short share position. Typically, you would buy shares to cover the short and simultaneously sell the long leg of the spread.
Pay attention to short in-the-money call legs on the day prior to the stock’s ex-dividend date, because an assignment that evening would put you in a short stock position where you are responsible for paying the dividend. If there’s a risk of early assignment, consider closing the spread.
Short put + long put

---|
This means your account will buy shares of the underlying at the strike price. Actions you can take: If you don’t have the money to pay for the shares, or don’t want to, you can buy the put option before it expires, closing out the position and eliminating the risk of assignment. Once the short leg is closed, you can try to sell the long leg if it has any value, or let it expire worthless if it doesn’t. |
Early assignment would leave your account long the shares you’ve been assigned. If your account does not have enough buying power to purchase the shares when they are assigned, this may create a Fed call in your account.
However, the long put still functions to cover the position because it gives you the right to sell shares at the long put strike price. Typically, you would sell the shares in the market and close out the long put simultaneously.
Long call + short call

This means your account will buy shares at the long call’s strike price. Actions you can take: If you don’t have enough money in your account to pay for the shares, or you don’t want to, you can simply sell the long call option before it expires, closing out the position. However, unless you are approved for Level 4 options trading, you must close out the short leg first (or simultaneously). The easiest way to do this is to use the spread order ticket to buy to close the short leg and sell to close the long leg. Assuming the short leg is worth less than $0.10, the E*TRADE Dime Buyback program would apply, and you’ll pay no commission to close that leg. |
Debit spreads have the same early assignment risk as credit spreads only if the short leg is in-the-money.

For call spreads, this will buy shares at the long call’s strike price and sell shares at the short call’s strike price. For put spreads, this will sell shares at the long put strike price and buy shares at the short put strike price. In either case, this will happen in the account after expiration, usually overnight, and is called . Your account does not need to have money available to buy shares for the long call or short put because the sale of shares from the short call or long put will cover the cost. There will be no Fed call or margin call. |
Pay attention to short in-the-money call legs on the day prior to the stock’s ex-dividend date because an assignment that evening would put you in a short stock position where you are responsible for paying the dividend. If there’s a risk of early assignment, consider closing the spread.

Assignment most often refers to one of two definitions in the financial world:
Assignment refers to the transfer of some or all property rights and obligations associated with an asset, property, contract, or other asset of value. to another entity through a written agreement.
Assignment rights happen every day in many different situations. A payee, like a utility or a merchant, assigns the right to collect payment from a written check to a bank. A merchant can assign the funds from a line of credit to a manufacturing third party that makes a product that the merchant will eventually sell. A trademark owner can transfer, sell, or give another person interest in the trademark or logo. A homeowner who sells their house assigns the deed to the new buyer.
To be effective, an assignment must involve parties with legal capacity, consideration, consent, and legality of the object.
A wage assignment is a forced payment of an obligation by automatic withholding from an employee’s pay. Courts issue wage assignments for people late with child or spousal support, taxes, loans, or other obligations. Money is automatically subtracted from a worker's paycheck without consent if they have a history of nonpayment. For example, a person delinquent on $100 monthly loan payments has a wage assignment deducting the money from their paycheck and sent to the lender. Wage assignments are helpful in paying back long-term debts.
Another instance can be found in a mortgage assignment. This is where a mortgage deed gives a lender interest in a mortgaged property in return for payments received. Lenders often sell mortgages to third parties, such as other lenders. A mortgage assignment document clarifies the assignment of contract and instructs the borrower in making future mortgage payments, and potentially modifies the mortgage terms.
A final example involves a lease assignment. This benefits a relocating tenant wanting to end a lease early or a landlord looking for rent payments to pay creditors. Once the new tenant signs the lease, taking over responsibility for rent payments and other obligations, the previous tenant is released from those responsibilities. In a separate lease assignment, a landlord agrees to pay a creditor through an assignment of rent due under rental property leases. The agreement is used to pay a mortgage lender if the landlord defaults on the loan or files for bankruptcy . Any rental income would then be paid directly to the lender.
Options can be assigned when a buyer decides to exercise their right to buy (or sell) stock at a particular strike price . The corresponding seller of the option is not determined when a buyer opens an option trade, but only at the time that an option holder decides to exercise their right to buy stock. So an option seller with open positions is matched with the exercising buyer via automated lottery. The randomly selected seller is then assigned to fulfill the buyer's rights. This is known as an option assignment.
Once assigned, the writer (seller) of the option will have the obligation to sell (if a call option ) or buy (if a put option ) the designated number of shares of stock at the agreed-upon price (the strike price). For instance, if the writer sold calls they would be obligated to sell the stock, and the process is often referred to as having the stock called away . For puts, the buyer of the option sells stock (puts stock shares) to the writer in the form of a short-sold position.
Suppose a trader owns 100 call options on company ABC's stock with a strike price of $10 per share. The stock is now trading at $30 and ABC is due to pay a dividend shortly. As a result, the trader exercises the options early and receives 10,000 shares of ABC paid at $10. At the same time, the other side of the long call (the short call) is assigned the contract and must deliver the shares to the long.
What is early options assignment what happens when options get assigned, options assignment - introduction, options assignment prior to expiration, options automatic exercise and assignment during expiration, can i avoid getting automatically exercised or assigned during expiration, what happens when long call options get automatically exercised.
Assuming you own 1 contract of $20 strike price call options on a stock trading at $30. During expiration, the call options are worth $10 and gets automatically exercised. That $10 x 100 = $1000 value completely disappears and you buy 100 shares of the underlying stock at $20 for $20 x 100 = $2000. You are not losing out because now you have the rights to sell that stock at the market price of $30, so that $1000 lost is actually in that difference. You don't lose anything more than commissions when this options exercise happens. |
Assuming you wrote 1 contract of $20 strike price call options on a stock trading at $30 for $10.00. Days before expiration, the call options receives an options assignment. That option disappears, making you the full $10.00 x 100 = $1000 in profit and you receive 100 short shares at the price of $20. You would notice that you didn't really "make" that $1000 as you would still need to close the stock position by buying the stock at $30, which is a loss of $30 - $20 = $10 x 100 = $1000. |
Assuming you own 100 shares of a stock trading at $30 and wrote 1 contract of $35 strike price call options for $1.00. Days before expiration, the stock rallies to $40 and the the short call options receives an options assignment. That option disappears along with your stocks. Your stocks get sold at $35 (even though the market price is $40) and you make $35 - $30 = $5 x 100 = $500 on your stocks and $1.00 x 100 = $100 on your short call options. So you lock in a total profit of $600 when that options assignment happens. |
Assuming you own 1 contract of $40 strike price put options on a stock trading at $30. During expiration, the put options are worth $10 and gets automatically exercised. That $10 x 100 = $1000 value completely disappears and you short 100 shares of the underlying stock at $40 for total value of $40 x 100 = $4000. You are not losing out because now you can buy back that stock at the market price of $30 for a total of just $30 x 100 = $3000, clocking in the $1000 difference. You don't lose anything more than commissions when this options assignment happens. |
Assuming you 100 shares of a stock trading at $30 and buys 1 contract of $30 strike price put options in order to protect those stocks for $1.00.

You sell your stocks at $30, losing nothing but commissions. |

What is options assignment.
In short, an Options assignment is the random allocation of an exercise obligation to an Options writer.
An Equity options assignment is when the Options seller must fulfil the obligation of an Options contract by either selling or buying the underlying security at the exercise price. This is due to the buyer of an Options contract exercising their right to buy/sell the underlying security.
ASX Clear randomly selects (assigns) a seller of the contract to complete the obligations of the contract as follows:
If you are assigned an Equity Call Option and do not hold the underlying stock, you must purchase the required units no later than 2pm Sydney time on the following trading day.
If you are assigned an Equity Put Option and do not have sufficient cash to settle the stock purchase, you must sell the required units no later than 2pm Sydney time on the following trading day.
If you are assigned an Index Option , you must supply the cash settlement amount on the first ASX settlement day after expiry.
Please note : If the required units have not been purchased, CommSec may purchase the outstanding units at their discretion. CommSec will not be held liable for market movements of the underlying stock.
OCC/OIC and FINRA collaborated to create this primer on options assignment.

The options market can seem to have a language of its own. To the average investor, there are likely a number of unfamiliar terms, but for an individual with a short options position—someone who has sold call or put options—there is perhaps no term more important than ‘assignment’ —the fulfilling of the requirements of an options contract.
When someone buys options to open a new position (Buy to Open), they are buying a right — either the right to buy the underlying security at a specified price (the strike price) in the case of a call option, or the right to sell the underlying security in the case of a put option.
On the flip side, when an individual sells, or writes, an option to open a new position (Sell to Open), they are accepting an obligation — either an obligation to sell the underlying security at the strike price in the case of a call option or the obligation to buy that security in the case of a put option. When an individual sells options to open a new position, they are said to be ‘short’ those options. The seller does this in exchange for receiving the option’s premium from the buyer.
American-style options allow the buyer of a contract to exercise at any time during the life of the contract, whereas European-style options can be exercised only during a specified period just prior to expiration. For an investor selling American-style options, one of the risks is that the investor may be called upon at any time during the contract’s term to fulfill its obligations. That is, as long as a short options position remains open, the seller may be subject to ‘assignment’ on any day equity markets are open.
An option assignment represents the seller’s obligation to fulfill the terms of the contract by either selling or buying the underlying security at the exercise price. This obligation is triggered when the buyer of an option contract exercises their right to buy or sell the underlying security.
To ensure fairness in the distribution of American-style and European-style option assignments, The Options Clearing Corporation (OCC), which is the options industry clearing house, has an established process to randomly assign exercise notices to firms with an account that has a short option position. Once a firm receives an assignment, it then assigns this notice to one of its customers who has a short option contract of the same series. This short option contract is selected from a pool of such customers, either at random or by some other procedure specific to the brokerage firm.
While an option seller will always have some level of uncertainty, being assigned may be a somewhat predictable event. Only about 7% of options positions are typically exercised, but that does not imply that investors can expect to be assigned on only 7% of their short positions. Investors may have some, all or none of their short positions assigned.
And while the majority of American-style options exercises (and assignments) happen on or near the contract’s expiration, a long options holder can exercise their right at any time, even if the underlying security is halted for trading. Someone may exercise their options early based upon a significant price movement in the underlying security or if shares become difficult to borrow as the result of a pending corporate action such as a buyout or takeover.
Note: European-style options can only be exercised during a specified period just prior to expiration. In U.S. markets, the majority of options on commodity and index futures are European-style, while options on stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETF) are American-style. So, while SPDR S&P 500, or SPY options, which are options tied to an ETF that tracks the S&P 500, are American-style options, S&P 500 Index options, or SPX options, which are tied to S&P 500 futures contracts, are European-style options.
An investor who is assigned on a short option position is required to meet the terms of the written option contract upon receiving notification of the assignment. In the case of a short equity call, the seller of the option must deliver stock at the strike price and in return receives cash. An investor who doesn’t already own the shares will need to acquire and deliver shares in return for cash in the amount of the strike price, multiplied by 100, since each contract represents 100 shares. In the case of a short equity put, the seller of the option is required to purchase the stock at the strike price.
It is normal to see an account balance fluctuate after opening a short option position. Investors who have questions or concerns or who do not understand reported trade balances and assets valuations should contact their brokerage firm immediately for an explanation. Please keep in mind that short option positions can incur substantial risk in certain situations.
For example, say XYZ stock is trading at $40 and an investor sells 10 contracts for XYZ July 50 calls at $1.00, collecting a premium of $1,000, since each contract represents 100 shares ($1.00 premium x 10 contracts x 100 shares). Consider what happens if XYZ stock increases to $60, the call is exercised by the option holder and the investor is assigned. Should the investor not own the stock, they must now acquire and deliver 1,000 shares of XYZ at a price of $50 per share. Given the current stock price of $60, the investor’s short stock position would result in an unrealized loss of $9,000 (a $10,000 loss from delivering shares $10 below current stock price minus the $1,000 premium collected earlier).
Note: Even if the investor’s short call position had not been assigned, the investor’s account balance in this example would still be negatively affected—at least until the options expire if they are not exercised. The investor’s account position would be updated to reflect the investor’s unrealized loss—what they could lose if an option is exercised (and they are assigned) at the current market price. This update does not represent an actual loss (or gain) until the option is actually exercised and the investor is assigned.
American-style option holders have the right to exercise their options position prior to expiration regardless of whether the options are in-, at- or out-of-the-money. Investors can be assigned if any market participant holding calls or puts of the same series submits an exercise notice to their brokerage firm. When one leg is assigned, subsequent action may be required, which could include closing or adjusting the remaining position to avoid potential capital or margin implications resulting from the assignment. These actions may not be attractive and may result in a loss or a less-than-ideal gain.
If an investor’s short option is assigned, the investor will be required to perform in accordance with their obligation to purchase or deliver the underlying security, regardless of the overall risk of their position when taking into account other options that may be owned as part of the overall multi-leg strategy. If the investor owns an option that serves to limit the risk of the overall spread position, it is up to the investor to exercise that option or to take other action to limit risk.
Below are a couple of examples that underscore how important it is for every investor to understand the risks associated with potential assignment during market hours and potentially adverse price movements in afterhours trading.

Club makes move to free up 40-man spot after acquiring rivera from d-backs.
Christina De Nicola
MIAMI – In a surprising move, the Marlins on Tuesday afternoon designated for assignment No. 9 prospect Jacob Amaya , who was once considered an option to be the franchise’s shortstop of the future.
Amaya was the corresponding move to make room on the 40-man roster following the acquisition of infielder Emmanuel Rivera from the Diamondbacks for cash.
If the player is claimed off waivers by another club, he is immediately added to that team's 40-man roster, at which point he can be optioned to the Minor Leagues (if he has options remaining) or assigned to his new team's 26-man roster.
The 25-year-old Amaya came over to the Marlins in the Miguel Rojas trade with the Dodgers on Jan. 11, 2023, after setting a career high with 17 homers between the Double-A and Triple-A levels of Los Angeles’ system in 2022. Miami elected to use veterans Joey Wendle, Jon Berti and Garrett Hampson at shortstop last season, though Amaya did make his big league debut and went 2-for-9 in four games.
Despite the departure of that trio, Amaya fell down the organizational depth chart when the Marlins signed veteran Tim Anderson and Minor Leaguer Tristan Gray. They also acquired Vidal Bruján from the Rays and Nick Gordon from the Twins.
Amaya was part of the second round of camp cuts after going 1-for-16 with one RBI, one caught stealing, one walk and seven strikeouts in 10 Grapefruit League games, though he did start at shortstop in the Spring Breakout exhibition.
In three games for Triple-A Jacksonville this season, Amaya hit 2-for-11 with two RBIs and two strikeouts. He started twice at shortstop and once at second base, committing one error and turning one double play in 18 innings at short.
According to MLB Pipeline’s scouting report, Amaya was arguably the best defensive shortstop in the upper levels of the organization -- including the Majors -- because of his smooth actions, quick and sure hands, a solid and accurate arm and a good internal clock. A right-handed hitter, Amaya was at his best when he kept his stroke under control and focused on getting on base. He would have lapses hunting home runs and chasing pitches.
Rivera, 27, hasn't appeared in the Majors this season and has a .684 OPS in 217 MLB games from 2021-23. He can play either of the corner infield positions.
Josh Bell is Miami’s primary first baseman, and primary third baseman Jake Burger has started at first when Bell has served as the designated hitter. Bruján and Jonah Bride, who started at the hot corner on Tuesday, are the only others to appear at third this season. Bruján and Rivera do not have Minor League options remaining, though Bride does.
“Every time we faced [Rivera], he killed us against lefties (.739 career OPS vs. LHP),” manager Skip Schumaker said, “so anticipate him being one of those options.”
