SEBI amends norms for employee stock options
Mumbai: The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has amended the Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOS) and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme (ESPS) guidelines after incorporating the recommendations of the committee set up by it and reviewing the public comments, stated a SEBI circular.
The amendments include provisions of mandatory disclosures of employee compensation cost using fair value of employee stock option and purchase schemes. Amongst other modifications, the guideline specifies, the market price means the latest available closing price, prior to the date of the company's board meeting in which options are granted or shares are issued on stock exchanges.

If the shares are listed on more than one stock exchange, then the exchange where there is highest trading volume on the said date should be considered. Shares arising after the initial public offer (IPO), from options granted under any ESOS framed prior to its IPO, should be listed immediately on stock exchanges where the equity shares of the company are listed. The report, prepared by the SEBI Committee on ESOP and chaired by J.R. Varma, was put up for public comments in April.
