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 main locations, the undiscounted potential future rental payments relating to periods following the exercise date of the options are estimated at CHF 43.2 million, of which CHF 15.1 million, particularly the headquarters in Switzerland, are considered in the valuation of the right-of-use assets as at December 31, 2019.
At year-end 2019, there was one material new lease commitment amounting to CHF 2.8 million with commencement date after the balance sheet date.
