In this paper we prove a new theorem showing that a modular of form \(\rho_{\Phi}(f)=\int_{\Omega}\Phi(t,|f(t)|)d\mu(t)\) satisfies both \((LPFE)\) and \((UPFE)\) if and only if \(\Phi\) is convex with respect to its second variable. A connection of this result with the study of projections and antiprojections onto latticially closed subsets of the modular space \(L^{\Phi}\) is also discussed.
