STERIS said Isomedix has already entered into agreements to pay up to $48,150,000 to settle claims under the term sheets and expects to enter into more.

The company said Isomedix may exercise walkaway rights if agreed terms are not met, including if a substantial majority of plaintiffs do not agree to settle, are disqualified or the settlements are not approved by the court. It also said the settlement funds will be deposited into escrow and the claims administration process is expected to take up to 10 months to complete.
The company said the settlement will be funded with cash on hand and borrowings under its existing revolving credit facility. It also said it will record a charge of $48,150,000 for the settlement for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, which will be excluded from its fiscal 2025 adjusted earnings measures.
