Another thing, mmapayout says that an explanation for the jump in stock price is that someone could have had an option to sell the stock for 8 on Aug 15. That would change how the price was listed because there's a the stock doesn't trade very often.

This explanation makes sense to me. I just got a letter from my company saying that next fall I can buy a certain amount of stocks at a price they determined now, no matter what the stock is trading for, so I can see someone having the reverse option.
