Directors’ Report
However, if ICICI Bank had used the fair value of options based on the Black-Scholes model, compensation
cost in fiscal 2009 would have been higher by Rs. 1,411.7 million and proforma profit after tax would have been
Rs. 36,169.6 million. On a proforma basis, ICICI Bank’s basic and diluted earnings per share would have been
Rs. 32.49 and Rs. 32.43 respectively. The key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted
during the fiscal 2009 are given below:
Risk-free interest rate 7.62% – 9.24%
Expected life 2 – 6.4 years
Expected volatility 38.90% – 45.23%
Expected dividend yield 1.20% – 3.57%
In respect of options granted in fiscal 2009, the weighted average exercise price of the options and the weighted
average fair value of the options were Rs. 912.30 per option and Rs. 331.19 per option respectively.
