Ann: Options Offer - Entitlement and Acceptance Form Dispatched, page-2

"To the extent that the Options Offer is not fully subscribed by Registered Holders and a shortfall remains
following completion of the shortfall offer, the Directors of the Company have each agreed to underwrite
the Options Offer, subject to the Company obtaining shareholder approval at an upcoming general
meeting."

Does this mean we can apply for shortfall options by simply paying more money when we purchase our own options?

I understand the directors will cover all shortfalls but the wording here seems to imply that retail shareholders can apply for shortfall options also.
