Impact Assessment
Market Impact: Minimal. The total number of new shares represents minor dilution for each company relative to their existing share capital. ITC’s issuance of 707,230 shares is the largest but still represents a negligible percentage of its total outstanding shares.
Trading Impact: No significant impact expected on stock prices or trading volumes. ESOP/ESOS listings are routine corporate actions and are typically well-anticipated by the market.
Liquidity Impact: Marginal increase in floating stock for the affected companies. None of the shares are under lock-in, making them immediately available for trading.
Investor Impact: Existing shareholders may experience minimal dilution. However, ESOP/ESOS issuances are generally viewed positively as they align employee interests with shareholder value.
Impact Justification
Routine listing of ESOP/ESOS shares with no lock-in period. Minor dilution across 10 companies with minimal market impact.
