Borosil Scientific Limited’s Nomination and Remuneration Committee (NRC) has approved the grant of 18,700 stock options under its Employee Stock Option Scheme. The decision was taken during a meeting held on May 20, 2026. Each stock option entitles the holder to apply for one equity share of the company with a face value of Re. 1.
The options have been granted at a price of Rs. 108 per share. This pricing represents approximately a 10% discount on the market price, which was determined based on the closing price on the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) on May 19, 2026. The NSE was selected as the reference exchange as it recorded the highest trading volume in the company's shares on the preceding trading day.
The vesting schedule for these options is structured over a four-year period. The options will vest in equal annual installments of 25% each, starting from the first anniversary of the grant date. The exercise period for the options is set at five years from the date of vesting for the respective tranches.
