Market Impact: Minimal. The issuance represents routine employee compensation through stock options, which is a standard corporate practice. The number of shares being listed is relatively small compared to the typical trading volumes of these companies.

Liquidity Impact: Negligible increase in floating stock for each company. The shares are immediately available for trading without restrictions.

Investor Consideration: These listings indicate active employee stock option programs at the respective companies, which can be viewed as a positive sign of employee retention and alignment with shareholder interests. The absence of lock-in periods means employees have immediate liquidity options.

Impact Justification

Routine listing of shares issued under employee stock option schemes with no lock-in period; minimal market impact as these are small percentages of outstanding shares
