Most stock options are standardized with multipliers of 100. Some are different.

Not all options have the standard multiplier of 100.

The stock options traded in the United States than do not have a muliplier of 100 are created by the contract adjustment process due to a company merger, spin-off, split, or extraordinary dividend.

If you go to

http://www.cboe.com/tradtool/contracts.aspx

and search for the ticker symbol of the underlying company you can find the adjustment notice that details the terms of the adjusted contract.
