Bardot's November 2026 Restricted Share Grant and Tax Withholding Details

According to the Form 4 filed with the SEC on November 3, 2026, Nicolas Bardot, EVP and Chief Operations Officer of Sensata Technologies Holding plc (NYSE:ST), reported two transactions in the company's ordinary shares, each dated November 1, 2026. The first was an acquisition of 3,912 restricted ordinary shares granted at no cost under the Sensata Technologies Holding plc 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. The filing describes these as "unvested restricted securities" that vest over three years at one-third per year, starting November 1, 2027, contingent on Bardot's continued service.

The second transaction, coded "F" in the filing, reflects 1,325 shares disposed of at $40.27 per share. The filing states this "represents shares withheld to cover taxes due by the reporting person upon vesting of certain restricted security awards." This is a common mechanism by which companies withhold a portion of vesting shares to satisfy the reporting person's tax obligations rather than requiring a cash payment.

After both transactions, Bardot's direct beneficial ownership stood at 29,809 ordinary shares. The filing notes that this total includes 25,897 unvested restricted securities subject to Bardot's continued service. The Form 4 was signed by Kramer Ortman by power of attorney on November 3, 2026, and no derivative securities transactions were reported.
