### Comment:
Ok I know that. What if the person that bought the contract which is now ITM either doesn’t want the shares or has no money to pay for them, what happens? That’s the question.

### REPLY:
Good question. Can't answer that fully But I imagine it depends on the broker. For instance on robinhood will automatically sell a contract 1hr before close on expiry day of you won't be able to cover it. Other brokers might execute it, give you a margin call then sell the shares to cover right away.  If a person doesn't like either of the scenarios they would just sell the contract and let the algos deal with it.
