Questions clients ask.
Every mandate depends on its facts. These answers provide a starting point for a more specific discussion.
Can you assist both listed and unlisted companies?+
Yes. The approval and compliance framework differs, so we structure the mandate around the company’s status and intended plan design.
Do you obtain the merchant banker or auditor certificate?+
We coordinate the information, documentation and certification process with the appropriately eligible professional, while managing the underlying ESOP compliance workstream.
Can an existing ESOP scheme be amended?+
Potentially, subject to the scheme terms and applicable corporate, accounting and securities-law requirements. We first review the existing approvals and the proposed variation.
