German term or phrase: Optionseinlösung

Struggling to find the proper term for "Optionseinlösung".

"Die SBB erneuert ihre Flotte und löst eine Option bei der Stadler Bussnang AG ein: Für rund 355 Mio Franken beschafft sie 24 weitere Doppelstockzüge zum Einsatz auf RegioExpress-Linien. Im Jahr 2008 hat die SBB bereits 50 Züge des gleichen Typs bestellt. Die *Optionseinlösung* erfolgt unabhängig vom laufenden Ausschreibungsverfahren für die neuen Doppelstockzüge des Intercity- und Interregio-Verkehrs. "

I only know this in a financial context and 'redemption' or 'execution' does not quite seem to fit.

Any suggestions?

This option is being exercised

Explanation:
"to exercise an option" seems normal to me, rephrased. Gets "erfolgt" out of the way. Searching for that string results in over 250,00o hits at Google.
