20.2  ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES

The Group has several property lease contracts that include renewal and termination options. Where useful, the Group aims to incorporate options into its leases in order to maximize operational flexibility. Normally, these options are exercisable only by the lessee and not by the lessors. For the all locations, the undiscounted potential future rental payments relating to periods following the exercise date of the options are estimated at CHF 92.6 million, of which CHF 19.5 million, particularly the US locations of Paramit, are considered in the valuation of the right-of-use assets as at December 31, 2022.

 

At year-end 2022, there is no material new lease commitment with commencement date after the balance sheet date (2021: none).
