Commentary
-
The table illustrates expected ESOP cost for granted options[(4)]
-
Actual charges might be different based on incremental issuances as well as lapses. For any lapses of unvested ESOPs, normally on attrition, the cost of unvested ESOP recorded so far is reversed in that quarter
-
For new ESOP grants, the total estimated charge would be the number of options granted times the fair value per share computed basis the fair value of the option, as per the valuation report. The charge is front-ended with approximately 52% in Year 1, 27% Year 2, 15% in Year 3 and 6% in Year 4
-
Movements of share price after the date of the grant do not affect the ESOP charge for already granted ESOPs
Notes:
