Call option and irrevocable undertaking (7.b.1 no. 1 and 7.b.2 no. 1) relate to the same shares. Since the call option cannot be accepted for as long as obligation to transfer shares under irrevocable undertaking is valid, both options are alternative to each other and the underlying shares will not be aggregated. Call option and put option (nos. 2 and 3 of 7.b.2) relate to the same shares. Since the put option can only be exercised - subject to the relevant conditions precedent - in case the call option has not been exercised, both options are alternative to each other and the underlying shares will not be aggregated.
