MIRC Electronics Limited has approved the grant of 16,00,000 stock options to eligible employees under its Employee Stock Option Plan 2023. The decision was taken by the company's Compensation Committee during a meeting held on May 20, 2026. This move aims to incentivize employees through equity ownership in the company.
Each stock option granted under this scheme entitles the holder to one equity share of Re. 1 upon exercise. The scheme is compliant with the SEBI (SBE) Regulations, 2014. The company stated that the total number of shares covered by these options amounts to 16,00,000 equity shares.
Pricing and Vesting Details
The pricing for the options involves a formula based on the market price. The exercise price will be calculated at a 30% discount to the closing share price as of April 16, 2026. However, the company has set a floor price, ensuring the exercise price is not lower than Rs. 16.81 per share.
The vesting of these options is contingent upon the achievement of specific performance milestones. Additionally, there is a mandatory minimum vesting period of one year from the date of the grant. The specific conditions are detailed in the Letter of Grant provided to the employees.
Exercise Period
Once the options vest, employees have a defined window to exercise them. The vested options can be exercised anytime within two years from the vesting date, provided the option grantee remains employed with the company. This structure is designed to retain talent and align employee interests with the company's long-term performance.
