The special dividend wasn’t accounted for, before those options were written, so Theta was already priced in. Short sellers have to pay the DIV on shares shorted, so they took a hit on the strike price they borrowed at, if not hedged

All options had the strike lowered by 0.65, which accounts for the special dividend.
