In this case, the long call position is opened at a strike of $12.50, which is already $0.57 in the money. An out-of-the-money put at the same strike is sold to finance the call, resulting in a net credit of $0.98 per share.

Downside risk: This discount is generally a sign of the stock facing considerable short pressure, and may indicate that the stock has become hard to borrow. However, if you have a long view of the underlying over this period, it could be a good opportunity to benefit from the upside at a major discount.
