The latest update is out from Marico Limited ( (IN:MARICO) ).
Marico Limited has allotted 3,856 equity shares of face value Re. 1 each under its 2016 Employee Stock Option Plan to an eligible grantee, following the exercise of stock options at an exercise price of Rs. 483.50 per share. As a result, the company’s paid-up equity share capital has marginally increased from 1,29,81,45,079 to 1,29,81,48,935 shares, though the board has clarified that this ESOP-related issuance is not material in nature for the company and that the new shares rank pari passu with existing equity shares.
The additional shares, issued without any lock-in period, underscore Marico’s continued use of stock options as a tool for employee incentivization and alignment with shareholder interests. While the quantitative impact on overall capital is minimal, such routine ESOP allotments reflect ongoing talent retention efforts in a competitive FMCG market and maintain the company’s governance compliance under SEBI’s share-based benefit regulations.
