Marico marginally boosts share capital with new ESOP allotment

Marico Limited ( (IN:MARICO) ) has provided an announcement.

Marico Limited has issued 155,183 new equity shares with a face value of Re 1 each under its 2016 Employee Stock Option Plan, following the exercise of options by eligible employees. The company noted that the shares rank pari passu with existing equity and clarified that the incremental issuance is not material in the context of its overall capital base.

Following this allotment, Marico’s paid-up share capital increased from 1,298,148,935 shares to 1,298,304,118 shares, reflecting a marginal dilution for existing shareholders. The move underlines Marico’s continued reliance on stock-based compensation to align employee interests with shareholders, a common practice in the Indian consumer goods sector to support retention and performance.
