Persistent Systems Limited has updated stock exchanges regarding its ESOP Trust's share acquisition activities, announcing the completion of a previous purchase plan and outlining an expanded acquisition strategy to meet growing employee vesting commitments.

Completed Share Purchase Program

The PSPL ESOP Management Trust successfully completed its recent share acquisition program on March 13, 2026. This completion follows the company's earlier announcement regarding secondary market purchases to fulfill employee stock option commitments.

Expanded Acquisition Plan

To address upcoming vesting obligations, the company has announced a significantly larger share purchase program. The new acquisition plan demonstrates the company's commitment to meeting employee benefit obligations under its stock option schemes.

Regulatory Compliance Framework

The expanded share acquisition program will operate under comprehensive regulatory guidelines to ensure full compliance with securities regulations:

• Purchases will be suspended during trading window closure periods
• All transactions will comply with SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015
• The company's internal Code of Conduct provisions will be followed
• Adherence to SEBI (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021

ESOP Scheme Operations

The share purchases support two key employee benefit programs that have received shareholder approval for pool expansion. The ESOP Trust manages and administers both the Persistent Employees Stock Option Scheme 2014 (PESOS 2014) and Employee Stock Option Plan 2017 (ESOP 2017). The Trust follows an established procedure for share distribution, transferring acquired shares to eligible employees through off-market transfers to their respective demat accounts upon stock option exercise, ensuring smooth execution of vesting commitments for employees of both the company and its subsidiaries.
