2020 Employee Share Purchase Plan financial

"These shares were acquired under the Waste Connections, Inc. 2020 Employee Share Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), for the offering period of January 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026."

ESPP financial

"These shares were acquired under the Waste Connections, Inc. 2020 Employee Share Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), for the offering period of January 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026."

An Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) is a company program that lets employees buy the company’s shares at a reduced price, usually by setting aside a small portion of their pay over time. It matters to investors because it encourages employees to own part of the business—like giving staff a discounted membership— which can boost commitment and performance, while also potentially increasing the number of shares available and affecting shareholder value.

Common Shares financial

"security_title": "Common Shares""

Common shares are the basic units of ownership in a company that give holders a claim on profits and a right to vote on key matters, like electing the board. Think of them as membership cards in a club: they let you share in successes and losses, but in a bankruptcy or liquidation they are paid after creditors and preferred shareholders, so their value can swing more and matters for assessing risk and potential return.

Other acquisition or disposition financial
