Creative Newtech Board Approves Up to 2 Lakh ESOPs under New Scheme
Creative Newtech's Board approved the "CREATIVE ESOP Scheme – 2026", authorizing up to 2,00,000 ESOPs for eligible employees. This plan, pending shareholder approval at the AGM, will be administered by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and implemented via a new equity share issue.
The approval of a significant ESOP grant can impact future dilution and employee motivation. It is a medium-term strategic move for talent retention and incentivization, requiring shareholder approval.
The announcement details the approval of an ESOP scheme, which is a standard corporate action for employee benefits. While it involves equity issuance, it does not immediately impact financials or operational performance in a significant way, hence the neutral sentiment.
Creative Newtech Limited announced today, August 4, 2026, that its Board of Directors has approved the "CREATIVE Employee Stock Option Scheme – 2026" (ESOP Scheme). Under this scheme, up to 2,00,000 Employee Stock Options (ESOPs) will be granted to eligible employees of the company and its subsidiary/associate/group companies, both in India and abroad. This grant is subject to the approval of the shareholders at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM).
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee of the company will administer the ESOP Scheme, which will be implemented through the direct route for extending benefits via fresh equity share allotment. Mr. Tejas Doshi, Chief Compliance Officer and Company Secretary, has been authorized to coordinate with consultants and manage the implementation of the proposed ESOP scheme.
The ESOP pool represents up to 1.5% of the company's paid-up capital as of June 30, 2026. The ESOPs are exercisable into 2,00,000 Equity Shares of face value ₹10 each. The exercise price will be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, linked to the market price, with a provision for a suitable discount but not below the face value. Vested options can be exercised between one to five years from the vesting date, as determined by the Committee. The scheme involves a new issue of equity shares and will be administered by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
