In fact, the whole point of the hedge ratio is to assume that it is the ratio that the stocks will revert back to over time. So if we denote the spread at time $t$ by $s_t$ ...

These options need not necessarily be vanilla options. Let us further denote by $I (S_t)$ the intrinsic value of these contigent claims at time $t$, i.e. ...

The European call price converges to zero as the underlying price converges to zero, reflecting the vanishing probability of exercise.At the other extreme, the European call price converges to the discounted value of the difference between the asset price and the strike.For intuition note that the probability of exercise converges to one as $S_t$ becomes ...
