VG – Vonage Holdings Corp –  Options volume on communications services company Vonage is up sharply today, with over 1,100 contracts changing hands during morning trading versus average daily options volume of around 65 contracts, after the company agreed to acquire privately-held company Vocalocity, Inc. for $130 million in cash and stock.

Traders also appear to have purchased around 300 of the Nov $4.0 strike calls for a premium of $0.15 apiece. Buyers of the Nov $4.0 strike calls may profit at expiration next month if shares in VG rally another 11% to exceed the breakeven price of $4.15 each.
