tax-withholding disposition financial
"329 shares were withheld from the 1,128 restricted shares that vested on June 2, 2026."
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.
restricted shares financial
"As of June 2, 2026, 3,117 of these ordinary shares are restricted."
Restricted shares are company stock that cannot be sold or transferred immediately because they are subject to legal or contractual limits, such as a required holding period or performance conditions. They matter to investors because these locked-up shares can affect a company’s available stock for trading, future dilution, and insider incentives—imagine a gift that can’t be cashed until certain conditions are met, which changes when and how much supply can suddenly enter the market.
Employee Stock Option (right to buy) financial
"Employee Stock Option (right to buy) with a conversion or exercise price of 230.7400."
401(k) Plan financial
"Units representing 255 ordinary share equivalents are held on behalf of the Reporting Person under the STERIS Corporation 401(k) Plan."
A 401(k) plan is a workplace retirement account that lets employees set aside part of their pay into a tax-advantaged savings pot, often with employers adding matching contributions — like a workplace piggy bank for future income. It matters to investors because the amount people save and how employers fund these plans influence consumer spending, corporate payroll costs and the flow of money into financial markets, which can affect stock prices and company valuations.
vested financial
"1,128 restricted shares that vested on June 2, 2026."
