Sebi case_ Paytm esops to Sharma, brother cancelled.

Under Sebi rules, a company cannot allot esops to its promoters and their family members. However, in the case of Paytm, days before the company filed its IPO papers, Vijay derecognised himself as a promoter and was allotted esops. The company also allotted esops to Vijay’s brother, who under the regulator’s rules was categorised under the promoter’s family.Sebi’s show cause notice said that Vijay, as the CMD of Paytm, had substantial influence over “decision making of (the) nomination and remuneration committee while approving grant of esops to himself and his brother”. In addition, there were allegations of non-disclosures by Paytm and Vijay Shekhar Sharma. Sebi’s case was that the Sharma brothers and Paytm violated this esop allotment rule by creating structures just before the company filed its draft offer document in July 2021.After Sebi issued show cause notices to the three entities, there were deliberations between Sebi officials and representatives of the three entities. Finally, the parties entered into a settlement agreement with Sebi “without admitting or denying the findings of fact and conclusions of of law.”
