There was a buyer of 2,011 of the March 15 puts, selling the same number of contracts of the June 14 puts for a net credit of 30 cents per contract, he added.

“This is really an extension of what is a neutral to bullish view here on Gap and obligating them to purchase $2.75 million worth of Gap shares if the stock is below $14 by that June expiration,” Zhang said.
