You no longer have an option to buy MER stock. You own an option to buy BAC stock.

How many shares can you purchase by paying the strike price, or $5,000? As many shares as the owner of 100 shares of MER gets in the merger.

This option has very little value because the chances that BAC can rise anywhere near that value is essentially zero.
