Amãna Bank announced an Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) following a streak of commendable performances in the last few years, owing to the bank’s resilience and stability. 
The ESOP will duly reward and recognise the bank’s committed and passionate employees, who have contributed to its success.

The financial year 2022 saw the bank record its best financial performance, with a profit before tax of Rs.1.21 billion, an increase of 12 percent compared to the previous financial year. The bank is committed to maintain its performance momentum and ensure the continued growth trend.

The announcement of the ESOP is followed by the approval of the bank’s shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting held recently and after due disclosures to the Colombo Stock Exchange. The ESOP will allow the eligible employees to participate in the share ownership of the bank, facilitating them to benefit from the bank’s growth and success. 
The ESOP would result in the issue of up to 83,518,485 ordinary voting shares equivalent to 3 percent of the pre-ESOP issued number
