Explanation of Responses:

Id	Content
F1	On March 1, 2023, Linde plc (formerly Rounderway plc), an Irish public limited company ("New Linde"), became the successor of Linde plc, an Irish public limited company ("Old Linde"), pursuant to a scheme of arrangement and merger under Irish law. Pursuant to the scheme of arrangement, all outstanding ordinary shares of Old Linde were exchanged, on a one-for-one basis, for ordinary shares of New Linde, and Old Linde subsequently merged into New Linde and ceased to exist. The transaction did not alter the relative interests of security holders.
F2	Ordinary shares acquired pursuant to the payout of a restricted stock unit ("RSU") grant made on March 1, 2022.
F3	Ordinary shares withheld from RSU payout to cover tax withholdings.
F4	The Restricted Stock Unit ("RSU") shall vest in full and payout in Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis one year after the March 7, 2023 date of grant, provided that the awardee serves on the Linde plc Board of Directors continuously through the vesting date, except under certain circumstances in which a pro-rata payout may be made.
