<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under Irish law, a company may not exempt or indemnify its directors from liability for negligence or a breach of duty. However, where a breach of duty has
been established, directors may be statutorily exempted by an Irish court from personal liability for negligence or breach of duty if, among other things, the court determines that they have acted honestly and reasonably, and that they may fairly be
excused as a result. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Irish Companies Act permits a company to pay the costs or discharge the liability of a director or the secretary only where
judgment is given in his/her favor in any civil or criminal action in respect of such costs or liability, or where an Irish court grants relief because the director or secretary acted honestly and reasonably and ought fairly to be excused. This
restriction does not apply to executives who are not directors or the secretary. Any obligation of an Irish company that purports to indemnify a director or secretary of an Irish company over and above this will be void under Irish law, whether
contained in its articles of association or any contract between the director or secretary and the company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, Linde plc&#146;s Constitution
provides, so far as is permitted under the Irish Companies Act, that every director and the secretary shall be entitled to be indemnified by Linde plc against all costs, charges, losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by him in the execution and
discharge of his duties or in relation thereto including any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by him as an officer or employee
of Linde plc and in which judgment is given in his favor (or the proceedings are otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material breach of duty on his part) or in which he is acquitted or in connection with any application

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
-2-
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors
and Officers.
Linde plc is incorporated under the laws of Ireland.
Under Irish law, a company may not exempt or indemnify its directors from liability for negligence or a breach of duty. However, where a breach of duty has
been established, directors may be statutorily exempted by an Irish court from personal liability for negligence or breach of duty if, among other things, the court determines that they have acted honestly and reasonably, and that they may fairly be
excused as a result.
The Irish Companies Act permits a company to pay the costs or discharge the liability of a director or the secretary only where
judgment is given in his/her favor in any civil or criminal action in respect of such costs or liability, or where an Irish court grants relief because the director or secretary acted honestly and reasonably and ought fairly to be excused. This
restriction does not apply to executives who are not directors or the secretary. Any obligation of an Irish company that purports to indemnify a director or secretary of an Irish company over and above this will be void under Irish law, whether
contained in its articles of association or any contract between the director or secretary and the company.
In addition, Linde plc's Constitution
provides, so far as is permitted under the Irish Companies Act, that every director and the secretary shall be entitled to be indemnified by Linde plc against all costs, charges, losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by him in the execution and
discharge of his duties or in relation thereto including any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by him as an officer or employee
of Linde plc and in which judgment is given in his favor (or the proceedings are otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material breach of duty on his part) or in which he is acquitted or in connection with any application
under any statute for relief from liability in respect of any such act or omission in which relief is granted to him by the court.
Linde plc will also
indemnify any person who was, is or is threatened to be made a party to a Proceeding (defined below) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an "officer" as such term is defined under the Exchange Act (excluding any director or
secretary), as well as with individuals serving as director, officer or some other function of any other entity, to the fullest extent permitted under Irish law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Such right shall include the right to
be paid by Linde plc expenses incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the maximum extent permitted under Irish law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended;
provided
that to the extent
required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the officer or
other covered person is not entitled to be indemnified under this article or otherwise. "Proceeding" means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or
investigative, any appeal in such an action, suit, claim or proceeding, and any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action, suit, claim or proceeding.
The directors and officers of Linde plc and the other registrants are covered by insurance policies indemnifying against certain liabilities, including
certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act, which might be incurred by them in such capacities and against which they may not be indemnified by us.
In addition, Linde Inc. (formerly, Praxair, Inc.), a subsidiary of Linde plc, has entered into indemnification agreements with each of Linde plc's
directors that provide for indemnification in respect of liabilities incurred by them while acting in their capacities as directors of Linde plc in accordance with customary standards.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file,
during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus
required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Filing
Fee" exhibit in this effective Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however, that
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
-4-
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
* * *
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
