(2) Represents ordinary shares of STERIS plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales ("Old STERIS"), cancelled pursuant to a court-approved scheme of arrangement under English law (the "Scheme"). In connection with the Scheme, the reporting person received ordinary shares of STERIS plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of Ireland ("STERIS"), in an amount equal to the number of the reporting person's cancelled Old STERIS shares.

This option was assumed by STERIS under the Scheme and converted to an option to purchase 10,000 ordinary shares of STERIS for $77.07 per share, subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to the original Old STERIS option.
(4) This option becomes exercisable as follows: 3,920 on May 31, 2019; 3,920 on June 1, 2020; 3,920 on June 1, 2021 and 3,920 on May 31, 2022.
