ESAF Small Finance Bank has allotted 40,887 equity shares of face value Rs. 10 each to eligible employees under the ESAF Employee Stock Option Plan 2019, following exercise of vested options. The allotment was approved by the Nomination, Remuneration and Compensation Committee on July 1, 2025. The exercise price was Rs. 15.51 per share, implying a premium of Rs. 5.51 over face value. After this allotment, the total issued share capital stands at Rs. 51.54 crore (51,54,68,339 shares). The new shares carry no lock-in and will rank equally with existing equity shares.
This is a small, routine ESOP allotment causing negligible dilution to existing shareholders. The fact that employees are exercising options at a premium to face value is mildly positive, reflecting some staff confidence, but the size of the issue is too small to materially affect the stock price.
