Equity option holders do not enjoy the rights due to shareholders - e.g., voting rights, dividends or franking credits. A call holder must exercise the option and take ownership of underlying shares to be eligible for these rights.

After the option's expiration date, the contract will cease to exist. At that point the owner of the option who does not exercise the contract has no "right" and the seller has no "obligations" as previously conveyed by the contract.
