    WHAT IS EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN (ESOP) ?

    An option given to directors, officers or


    permanent employees of a company to
    purchase or subscribe the securities
    offered by the company at a future
    date, at a concessional price generally.
    SEBI GRADE A 2020
    IMPORTANT TERMS TO BE REMEMBERED
    1. Grant: Grant means issue of option to the employees under ESOS.

    2. Vesting: It is the process by which the employee is given the right to apply for shares of the
    company against the option granted to him in pursuance of employee stock option scheme.

    3. Vesting Period: It is the time period between grant date and the date on which all the
    specified vesting conditions of an employee share based payment plan are to be satisfied.

    4. Option: Option means a right but not an obligation granted to an employee for a specified
    period of time in pursuance of ESOS to purchase or subscribe to the shares of the company
    at a pre-determined price.
    SEBI GRADE A 2020
    IMPORTANT TERMS TO BE REMEMBERED
    5. Exercise Period: It is the time period after vesting within which the employee should exercise his
    right to apply for shares against the option vested in him in pursuance of the ESOS.

    6. Exercise Price: It is the price payable by the employee for exercising the option granted to him
    in pursuance of ESOS.

    7. Intrinsic Value: It is the excess of the market price of the share under ESOS over the exercise
    price of the option (including up-front payment, if any). {Market Price – Exercise Price}

    8. Fair Value: It is the amount for which stock option granted or a share offered for purchase
    could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction
    SEBI GRADE A 2020
    IMPORTANT TERMS TO BE REMEMBERED
    Under the Companies Act 2013, there shall be a minimum period of one year between grant
    of options and vesting of options, hence the exercise period cannot be less than one year from
    the date of grant of option.

    For accounting purposes, employee share-based payment plans are classified into the
    following categories:

    → Equity-settled: Under these plans, the employees receive shares.


    → Cash-settled: Under these plans, the employees receive cash based on the price (or value)
    of the enterprise's shares.
    → Employee share-based payment plans with cash alternatives: Under these plans, either the
    enterprise or the employee has a choice of whether the enterprise settles the payment in
    cash or by issue of shares.
