Granulocytes, specifically neutrophils, help the body fight bacterial infections. The number of granulocytes in the body usually increases when there is a serious infection. People with a lower number of granulocytes are more likely to develop bad infections more often.
Congrats on a sick trade. If the buyout happens before the options expiration, you can exercise your options for stock, purchase the stock at $28.00, and sell the shares for $40.00 and make $12.00 per share (less the price of the options). Realistically, the value of the call option will go up to $12.00+ and you can just sell the option.
If you do not allow an in the money option to expire but sell it on or the day before expiration, you will make whatever profit you have made so far and would have recovered whatever extrinsic value is left in the option. In both cases, commissions involved are the same for most online options brokers.
