Bank allots nearly 1 lakh shares under employee schemes

On November 5 — the current trading session — the bank allotted a further 36,937 equity shares of the same face value under the ICICI Bank Employees Stock Unit Scheme-2022. Both allotments were approved by two Executive Directors, acting under authority delegated by the Board at its October 21, 2023 meeting.
