Axis Bank revises ESOP vesting period for 5.29 lakh options as per RBI directions
Axis Bank's Board revised the vesting period for 5.29 lakh ESOPs under the 2000-01 scheme, now vesting equally over four years, effective October 16, 2025.
The change affects the structural aspect of employee compensation for existing options and is unlikely to have a significant immediate financial or operational impact on the company.
The revision in ESOP vesting is a compliance-driven change based on RBI directions and board recommendations, not directly impacting immediate financial performance.
* Axis Bank Limited's Board of Directors, on October 16, 2025, revised the vesting period for 5,29,947 stock options under the Axis Bank Employees Stock Option Scheme – 2000-01. * This revision was based on directions received from the Reserve Bank of India and recommendations from the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. * The new vesting schedule dictates that the options will vest equally over 4 (four) years, at 25% every year, commencing on the expiry of one year from the date of grant. * Previously, the vesting was structured as 30%, 30%, and 40% options at the end of one year, two years, and three years, respectively. * All other terms and conditions of these grants, including the exercise price, remain unchanged.
