Headline: Understanding Mphasis' Latest ESOP and RSU Allotments

On November 1, 2025, Mphasis Limited announced significant updates regarding its Employee Stock Option Plans (ESOPs) and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The company’s ESOP Compensation Committee approved the allotment of shares following the exercise of stock options and units under the ESOP 2016 and RSU Plan 2021.

According to the announcement, Mphasis will allocate 14,403 shares under the ESOP 2016 plan and a substantial 141,359 shares under the RSU Plan 2021. These actions comply with the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, ensuring transparency and adherence to regulatory standards.

For employees participating in the Cashless Scheme approved at the 33rd Annual General Meeting in July 2024, the Mphasis Employees Equity Reward Trust will deduct a portion of the allotted shares to cover the exercise price and applicable taxes. The proceeds from these deductions will be used to repay loans to the company and settle any due taxes.

Similarly, for the RSUs, the Mphasis Employees Benefit Trust will also withhold shares during the vesting process to address the exercise price and taxes, in line with the approvals obtained during the 30th Annual General Meeting held on September 29, 2021.

These developments are part of Mphasis’ ongoing commitment to employee engagement and incentivization through equity ownership. Shareholders and stakeholders are encouraged to stay informed about these initiatives as they reflect the company’s strategic focus on rewarding and retaining talent.
