Contract adjustment for splits and special dividends: the new deliverable keeps fractional shares · case 04
Deliverables such as 166.67 shares are produced for 5-for-3 splits.
Case contract
Inputs strike, contracts, deliverable, action and value. split [new, old]: if new is a multiple of old (ratio r), strike becomes strike/r rounded half-up to cents and contracts become contracts*r; otherwise the deliverable becomes floor(deliverable*new/old) with strike and contracts unchanged. special_div of at least 0.125 per share reduces the strike by the amount (rounded half-up to cents). Other actions, including ordinary_div, change nothing. Return [strike, contracts, deliverable].
Why this case matters
Option expiry, exercise and settlement engines move cash and shares; a wrong branch misstates obligations.
