Paytm's Nomination and Remuneration Committee approved the grant of 1,04,400 stock options to eligible employees under the ESOP 2019 scheme on May 6, 2025. Each option can be converted into one equity share of face value ₹1 at an exercise price of ₹9 per option. The shares issued upon exercise will not be subject to any lock-in period. Separately, the committee noted that 6,60,284 stock options were voluntarily forgone, cancelled, or lapsed (2,24,685 voluntarily forgone and 4,35,599 lapsed), indicating significant employee attrition or exits. No options were vested or exercised during this period.
This is a routine employee compensation action and unlikely to have a material impact on stock price. However, the large number of lapsed/forgone options (over 6.6 lakh) suggests notable employee turnover, which shareholders may want to monitor. The low exercise price of ₹9 reflects Paytm's depressed stock price levels, and future dilution from these options remains modest at around 1,04,400 shares.
