Subject: Question regarding option exercise

Evan, if an optionholder plans to make a cashless exercise (as in the second part of interpretation #1704001), can you confirm that if the optionholder retains some or all of the shares (as opposed to selling all on the same day), then such newly-acquired shares would be valued at the “Market Price” (pursuant to 801.10(c)(1), since the “acquisition price” is $0), and not the current trading price?
