Are unexpected dividends good?

A company XYZ announced that they will be issuing a special dividend of $1, payable to stock owners with an ex-div date of June 3rd.

If you own a European call on the $30 strike expiring on June 19th with a delta of 100, how would you expect your position to change?

Assume that there is no change in the share price or volatility structure.

No change Lose $1, as the forward price has decreased by $1, and the delta is 100. Gain $1, as the forward price has increased by $1, and the delta is 100.
