A Call Option is required to be placed to secure the right for the Investor or Lender to buy the securities at a fixed price within the next 20 days. The Investor buying the securities for a specific transaction does not own the securities at that stage. So placing a Call Option is needed in order to issue the Securities Borrowing and Lending Agreement and for the Investor/Lender to reserve the right to purchase the chosen securities at a certain date and at a certain price. Payment is into the Facilitator’s own account. An easy alternative option is available here.
