5-for-1 forward split of $TSLA scheduled to take effect on Monday morning, August 31st. If you are holding a TSLA position at the end of the trading day on Friday August 28th, this is what you can expect: @tastytrade

1. Stock-holders will receive 5x their shares quantity.
2. Option-holders will receive 5x the contract quantity with a strike price that is a fifth of the original strike price. (eg if you had 1 TSLA Sep18 2000 call on Friday, you will receive 5 TSLA Sep18 400 calls for Monday). These options will be standard options that deliver 100
shares of stock.
3. We will be adjusting your accounts on Saturday morning after expiration processing is run.
4. All good-til-cancelled (GTC) orders will be cancelled. Please review your positions when the market opens on Monday morning and re-enter orders to reflect your
adjusted position.
5. If you have an Aug28 expiry option that expires in the money, the exercise/assignment will be pr ocessed using Friday's closing price and the Aug28 strike. If there is a stock position resulting from exercise/assignment, it will be split.
6. THERE WILL NOT BE QUOTES FOR THE NEW STRIKE PRICES UNTIL MONDAY MORNING WHEN THE MARKET OPENS. This will cause discrepancies with P&L and Net Liquidating value numbers. Do not be alarmed. Once the market opens & the bid/ask prices start populating, everything should normalize.
