Minor dilution of existing shareholders is expected but is negligible in most cases given the small proportion of new shares relative to total outstanding capital.
Impact Justification
Routine ESOP/ESOS listing circular covering 11 companies with relatively small share additions; no lock-in restrictions apply and impact is limited to minor dilution for existing shareholders.
