Netsol Technologies Limited has announced plans to introduce a new employee share option scheme that would allow eligible staff members to purchase company shares at discounts of up to 50 percent, according to a notice filed with the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX).
The company’s board has proposed issuing up to 5 million share options, equivalent to about 5.57 percent of Netsol’s current paid-up capital. The exercise price under the scheme will be fixed at half of the prevailing market price at the time the options are granted, a move intended to strengthen employee alignment with long-term shareholder interests.
The proposed plan will cover permanent employees, including senior management, with allocations determined on the basis of performance and guidelines set by the company’s compensation committee.
Alongside the new scheme, Netsol has also proposed transferring 2,690,251 treasury shares to employees under its existing employee stock option program.
An extraordinary general meeting (EGM) has been scheduled for June 3, 2026, where shareholders will vote on the proposal. The company’s share transfer books will remain closed from May 28 to June 3 in connection with the meeting.
Netsol stated that the initiative aims to improve talent retention, enhance employee engagement, and promote a stronger ownership culture as the company pursues long-term operational growth.
