Vesting Structure
The 19,500 options granted carry a structured vesting schedule as determined by the NRC. Of the total options granted, 15,000 options shall vest upon completion of a minimum vesting period of 1 year. The remaining options are subject to vesting upon achievement of specified performance criteria, as determined by the NRC in accordance with the applicable ESOP Scheme.
Once vested, each option entitles the holder to acquire one equity share of Valiant Organics upon payment of the exercise price. The exercise price shall in no event be less than the face value of the share, as prescribed under the scheme terms.
Scheme Administration and Compliance
The ESOP Scheme is administered by the NRC of the Board of Directors. The grant of options is based on eligibility criteria as defined under the scheme. The NRC determines the exercise price subject to conformity with applicable accounting policies. The scheme is in terms of the SEBI (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021.
Key highlights of the scheme's governance framework include:
- The NRC oversees administration and eligibility determination
- Exercise price is set at Rs. 10/- per option, consistent with the face value
- Diluted earnings per share pursuant to the issue of equity shares on exercise of options is not yet applicable, as options are yet to be exercised
- No subsequent changes, cancellations, or variations to option terms have been reported
The intimation was signed by Kaustubh Kulkarni, Company Secretary (ICSI M. No: A52980), on behalf of Valiant Organics Limited.

How might the performance-based vesting criteria for the remaining 4,500 options impact employee retention and productivity at Valiant Organics over the next few years?
Given that the exercise price is set at face value (Rs. 10), significantly below the market price, what potential dilution effect could this have on existing shareholders when options are exercised?
Will Valiant Organics consider expanding its ESOP Scheme 2022 with additional grants to attract senior talent, and how might this affect the company's overall compensation strategy?
