(i) unless subparagraph (ii) applies--the market value (the currently stated value ) stated as mentioned in paragraph (a); or
(ii) if this section has previously applied in relation to the offer and one or more supplementary offer documents have been sent to the offeree--the market value (the currently stated value ) stated as mentioned in paragraph (3)(c) in the supplementary offer document most recently sent to the offeree; and
(c) the increase or decrease, expressed as a percentage of the currently stated value, exceeds the percentage specified in the regulations for the purposes of this paragraph.
