FA-61381 / Options payoff and settlement / Open access
Physical delivery on exercise and assignment: every contract is assumed to deliver 100 shares · case 01
Adjusted contracts after corporate actions deliver the wrong share count.
ROOT CAUSE
The share count uses a standard 100-share deliverable.
VERIFIED REPAIR
Multiply contracts by the actual deliverable per contract.
Unsuccessful approach: Using the deliverable for shares but 100 for cash splits the two legs.
Case contract
Inputs kind C/P, strike, signed contracts (+long exercised, -short assigned), deliverable shares per contract and whether exercise happened. Long calls and short puts receive shares and pay strike*shares; long puts and short calls deliver shares and receive strike*shares. Return [share delta, cash delta] (cash in currency, computed in cents); unexercised returns [0, 0.0].
Why this case matters
Option expiry, exercise and settlement engines move cash and shares; a wrong branch misstates obligations.

Verification & scope
A deterministic toy contract stated explicitly in the contract field; no claim of conformance to any exchange or clearing rulebook. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
