Allotment of equity shares on exercise of stock options pursuant to Employee Stock Option Scheme
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
J.B. Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals has allotted 65,686 fully paid-up equity shares of Re. 1 each to certain employees under the JBCPL Employee Stock Option Scheme, 2021. The allotment was made on May 5, 2025, and the company received Rs. 2.576 crore (approximately Rs. 392 per share) on exercise of these stock options. As a result, the company's total issued, subscribed and paid-up equity capital has increased from 15,56,77,208 shares to 15,57,42,894 shares. This is a routine disclosure under SEBI Listing Regulations regarding ESOP exercises.
This is a minor, routine ESOP allotment that causes a negligible dilution (about 0.04%) in shareholding. It is unlikely to have any meaningful impact on the stock price or existing shareholders.
