Closing Transaction - Direxion Financial Bull 3x (FAS)

Unfortunately, FAS underwent a 1-5 reverse split this month, which made the 300 shares i had in my portfolio only 60 shares. This makes it impossible for me to continue selling calls on these positions unless I want to increase my stake. As such, I have decided to attempt to exit my positions in FAS as the call options written on them expire. This is the first of such sales. The final profit info is below:
