<ul>
<li>Offer Period: Both PPF and MFE offers expire August 13, 2025, allowing shareholders to weigh competing bids. The synchronized deadline heightens pressure on MFE to respond or risk losing influence.</li>
<li>Options Strategy: Buying the €7.10 call offers low-cost exposure to a potential bump. With breakeven at €7.26 and decent delta, it's a tactical way to play a revised MFE bid.</li>
<li>Spread Trade: A €7.10/€7.40 call spread caps risk at €0.10 and offers 3:1 reward potential. Attractive for investors expecting moderate upside without committing full premium or needing full stock exposure.</li>
