ESAF Small Finance Bank Aligns Leadership Pay With ESOPs and Reshapes Board Committees

ESAF Small Finance Bank Limited ( (IN:ESAFSFB) ) has provided an update.

ESAF Small Finance Bank’s board has approved the Reserve Bank of India–cleared variable pay for Executive Director George Kalaparambil John for FY 2024-25, with 52.63% of this compensation to be delivered as 203,194 ESOPs under the ESAF Employee Stock Option Scheme 2019, deferred over four years.
