ISO plan termination question delfin.rojas 04-16-2007

I'm confused and don't know exactly what to do. Taxes are
due tomorrow so I would appreciate any response.

I started with Company A on Feb of 2004 and I received stock
options that would vest 25% every year. Company A was
aquired by Company B on May of 2006. Company B did not have
an ISO plan, so company A decided to vest all the remaining
stock options and terminate the ISO plan by doing a
same-day-sale of all the options and giving employees the
profit.

Now, I believe this is cosidered a short term capital gain
because it is a same-day-sale. Unfortunatelly I didn't have
a saying on this but that doesn't matter. Is there any way
to put this as long term gain because the grant date was 2
years earlier? Is there anything special to keep in mind
because the ISO plan was terminated?

Again, any response would be greatly apreciated,

Thanks
