Notice of Conversion in Connection with Merger Cantel Restricted Stock Units
Exhibit 10.2
Notice of Conversion in Connection with Merger
Cantel Restricted Stock Units
Introduction
As you may know, effective January 12, 2021, Cantel Medical Corp. (“Cantel”) and STERIS plc (“STERIS”) entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which STERIS will acquire Cantel through a series of merger transactions (the “Mergers”).
You were previously granted restricted stock units pursuant to the terms of the Cantel 2016 Equity Incentive Plan and/or the Cantel 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, as applicable (the “Plan”), and related award agreement(s) (the “Award Agreement”). You are receiving this notice because you hold unvested restricted stock units (“Cantel RSUs”) in respect of Cantel common stock (“Cantel Stock”). In connection with the Mergers, and pursuant to the applicable Plan and the Award Agreement, each Cantel RSU held by you immediately prior to the consummation of the Mergers will be adjusted and converted into an award denominated in restricted stock units of STERIS (“STERIS RSUs”) in respect of STERIS ordinary shares (“STERIS Shares”), as explained in more detail below.
How Your Award(s) Will Be Adjusted
Upon the consummation of the Mergers, time-based Cantel RSUs outstanding immediately prior to the Mergers will be converted into STERIS RSUs with respect to the aggregate number of STERIS RSUs equal to the product of (1) the number of Cantel RSUs outstanding immediately prior to the Mergers multiplied by (2) the exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement, which takes into account the average trading price of STERIS Shares in the ten days prior to consummation of the Mergers. Because the exchange ratio cannot be determined until the Mergers are complete, the number of new STERIS RSUs is not yet known.
[Upon the consummation of the Mergers, performance-based Cantel RSUs outstanding immediately prior to the Mergers will be converted into STERIS RSUs with respect to the aggregate number of STERIS RSUs equal to the product of (1) the number of Cantel RSUs (assuming achievement of target level of performance) outstanding immediately prior to the Mergers multiplied by (2) the exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement, which takes into account the average trading price of STERIS Shares in the ten days prior to consummation of the Mergers. Because the exchange ratio cannot be determined until the Mergers are complete, the number of new STERIS RSUs is not yet known.]1
Additional Terms of Your New STERIS RSUs
Except as described in this notice, your STERIS RSUs will continue to be governed by the applicable Award Agreement and Plan. Upon consummation of the Mergers, you will be subject to STERIS’s Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Policy, which contains various restrictions on transactions including the timing of sales of owned STERIS Shares.
[Following consummation of the Mergers and conversion of your Cantel RSUs, your performance-based Cantel RSUs will no longer be subject to performance-based vesting conditions. Instead, your STERIS RSUs issued in exchange for your performance-based Cantel RSUs will vest over time conditioned on your continued employment depending on when the Mergers occur in relation to the original grant date of your performance-based Cantel RSUs as shown in the table below:
