the transferee had an option to purchase the dutiable property, or the transferor had an option to require the transferee to purchase the dutiable property, granted before the commencement and exercised from the commencement; or
another arrangement was made before the commencement the sole or main purpose of which was to defer the making of the transfer or agreement until 1 January 2023 or later so section 246 would apply in relation to the relevant transaction.
