Explanation of Responses:
(1)	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.
(2)	Ordinary shares acquired pursuant to a partial installment payout of a restricted stock unit ("RSU") grant that has vested in full but whose payout has been deferred.
(3)	Ordinary shares withheld from payouts to cover tax withholdings.
(4)	The Performance Share Unit ("PSU") grant partially paid out on March 21, 2023 and the number of shares awarded and paid out was determined based upon the average annual return on capital ("ROC") of Linde plc from 2019-2021 measured against ROC goals set by the Human Capital Committee of the Board of Directors when the PSU was granted in 2019.
(5)	The PSU grant partially paid out on March 21, 2023 and the number of shares awarded and paid out was determined based upon the total shareholder return ("TSR") of Linde plc from 2019-2021 measured against TSR goals set by the Human Capital Committee of the Board of Directors when the PSU was granted in 2019.
(6)	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.
(7)	Restricted Stock Units that will vest in full and payout on or about March 8, 2024 in Linde plc Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis.
(8)	Restricted Stock Units that will vest in full and payout on or about March 9, 2023 in Linde plc Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis.

(17)	Conversion to Linde plc Ordinary Shares is on a 1-for-1 basis.
