How might the remaining unexercised options under ESOP 2021 impact Lloyds Engineering Works' total share dilution over the next 3-year exercise period?
Could the low exercise price of ₹9.50 per option signal a potential misalignment between employee incentives and current market valuations, and how might this affect talent retention strategies?
