restricted securities financial
"Consists of unvested restricted securities granted to the reporting person on April 1, 2026."
Restricted securities are shares or other investment instruments that come with legal or contractual limits on when and how they can be sold, like stock given to founders or bought in a private offering. Think of them as assets in a locked box that can’t be freely traded until certain conditions — such as a waiting period, company registration, or specific approvals — are met. For investors this matters because restricted securities are less liquid and can affect timing, price, and perceived value when they eventually enter the market.

"Granted pursuant to the Sensata Technologies Holding plc 2021 Equity Incentive Plan."
tax-withholding disposition financial
"Payment of exercise price or tax liability by delivering securities"
A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.

"Includes 14,406 unvested restricted securities subject to the reporting person's continued service."
