Employee Shares Offered

Employee Shares Offered refer to a portion of shares set aside for employees during an IPO or through ESOPs.

These shares are often given at a lower price or with benefits to encourage employees to become part-owners of the company.

This helps:

Motivate employees

Align their interests with company growth

Improve employee retention

Sometimes, employees may need to hold these shares for a certain period before selling them.

Example:

If a company reserves shares for employees at ₹90 while the public price is ₹100, employees get an opportunity to invest at a lower price.
