1099-DIV and 1099-B

When the company my husband worked for was purchased the new company gave employees 1 stock option.  My husband changed companies in 2019 and forgot about the stock option.  For tax year 2020 we received a 1099-DIV and a 1099-B.  We didn't initiate anything, so I'm assuming the company did.  We never received any money.  1099-DIV shows $2.44 in Ordinary and $2.44 Qualified dividends and .58 Federal Income tax withheld and .69 Foreign tax paid  1099-B is a little harder for me to understand.  Shows date acquired 7-28-2020, date sold or disposed 12-2-2020.  I don't even know where to start.  I usually buy Deluxe CD.  Do I need a different version to walk me thru this?  Any advice to help me understand this and get started in the right direction is appreciated.
