As allowed by SEC rules, Linde is sending to most shareholders by mail a notice informing them that they can access and download this 2025 Proxy Statement, the 2024 Form 10-K and Annual Report and the Irish financial statements on the internet at the websites noted above, rather than sending printed copies. If you have received printed copies in the mail, rather than the notice of internet availability, it is likely that this occurred because either: (1) you have specifically requested printed copies this year or previously, or (2) Linde has voluntarily sent you printed copies.

If you are receiving printed copies, you can save Linde future postage and printing expense by consenting to

receive future annual reports, meeting notices, and proxy statements on-line on the internet. Most shareholders can elect to view future proxy statements and annual reports over the internet instead of receiving paper copies in the mail. This will help with Linde’s overall sustainability efforts by reducing paper usage. You will be given the opportunity to consent to future internet delivery when you vote your proxy. For some shareholders, this option is only available if they vote by internet. If you are not given an opportunity to consent to internet delivery when you vote your proxy, contact the bank, broker or other holder of record through which you hold your shares and inquire about the availability of that option for you.

If you consent
