SBI Mutual Fund Listing Raises Value of Employee Shareholdings

The stock-market listing of SBI Mutual Fund shares significantly increased the value of equity held by employees. Several senior executives who had acquired shares through the employee stock-option programme reportedly saw their holdings rise to values worth crores of rupees. The bulletin did not identify the executives, their original purchase prices or the exact value of individual holdings following the listing. The gains reflect the difference between the employees’ acquisition terms and the listed valuation.
