What Happened
Daniel A. Carestio, President & CEO and a director of STERIS plc, had 1,254 of his restricted ordinary shares withheld on June 1, 2026 to satisfy tax withholding obligations when 4,308 restricted shares vested. The Form 4 records the withheld shares (transaction code F) at $0.00 in the filing; the company says the vested shares were valued at the NYSE closing price on June 1, 2026 for tax purposes.

Key Details

  • Transaction date: June 1, 2026; Filing date: June 3, 2026 (filed within the Form 4 deadline).
  • Reported transaction: 1,254 shares withheld to cover taxes (payment of tax liability; code F). The filing shows $0.00 per share for the withholding entry.
  • Vested shares: 4,308 restricted shares vested on June 1, 2026; 1,254 of those were withheld for taxes. Vested shares were valued at the NYSE closing price on June 1, 2026 (dollar amount not specified in the filing).

  • Transaction type explained: F = tax withholding (common "sell-to-cover" or shares withheld to satisfy employer tax obligations), not an open-market sale or purchase.

Context
This is a routine tax-withholding event tied to the vesting of restricted stock awards and does not represent an independent purchase decision or an open-market sale for investment reasons. Such withholdings reduce the number of shares delivered to the insider but do not necessarily signal any change in insider sentiment about the company.
