  1. (1) The purpose of this Form 4 amendment is to amend and entirely restate the Form 4 filed on March 11, 2026 (the "Original Form 4"). The Original Form 4 incorrectly reported in Table 1 that 121, 43 and 43 Ordinary Shares were withheld for taxes from the payouts of two Performance Share Unit ("PSU") grants, and one Restricted Stock Unit ("RSU") grant, each made on March 7, 2023. The Table 1 in this Form 4 Amendment now correctly reports that 548, 195 and 195 Ordinary Shares were paid out pursuant to the PSU and RSU grants made on March 7, 2023, and that no Ordinary Shares were withheld for taxes. Conversion to Linde plc Ordinary Shares is on a one-for-one basis. The PSU paid out on March 9, 2026, and the number of shares awarded and paid out was determined based upon the average annual return on capital ("ROC") of Linde plc from 2023-2025 measured against ROC goals set by the Human Capital Committee of the Board of Directors when the PSU was granted on March 7, 2023. The PSU paid out on March 9, 2026, and the number of shares awarded and paid out was determined based upon the relative total shareholder return ("RTSR") of Linde plc from 2023-2025 measured against RTSR goals set by the Human Capital Committee of the Board of Directors when the PSU was granted on March 7, 2023.

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

FAQ

What did Linde (LIN) executive Binod Patwari report in this Form 4/A?

Binod Patwari reported the payout of performance share units and restricted stock units into Linde plc Ordinary Shares. The filing shows these equity awards converted into 548, 195 and 195 Ordinary Shares, reflecting performance and time-based vesting rather than open-market share purchases or sales.

What is the purpose of this amended Form 4/A for Linde (LIN)?

The amendment fully restates a prior Form 4 to correct how share payouts and tax withholding were reported. It clarifies that 548, 195 and 195 Ordinary Shares were paid out from PSU and RSU grants and that no Ordinary Shares were withheld to cover taxes in these transactions.

How many Linde (LIN) Ordinary Shares did the PSU and RSU awards pay out?

The filing states that 548 Ordinary Shares, 195 Ordinary Shares, and another 195 Ordinary Shares were paid out. These amounts came from two Performance Share Unit grants and one Restricted Stock Unit grant, all originally awarded on March 7, 2023 and paid out on March 9, 2026.

Were any Linde (LIN) shares sold or withheld for taxes in this Form 4/A?

The amendment explains that no Ordinary Shares were withheld for taxes from the PSU and RSU payouts. Earlier reports had suggested tax withholding, but this correction confirms the full 548, 195 and 195 Ordinary Shares were delivered without any portion retained to satisfy tax obligations.

What performance metrics determined the Linde (LIN) performance share unit payouts?

One set of PSUs was based on Linde’s average annual return on capital from 2023–2025 versus goals, and another on relative total shareholder return over the same period. The Human Capital Committee set these ROC and RTSR targets when the PSUs were granted on March 7, 2023.

How many Linde (LIN) Ordinary Shares does Binod Patwari hold after these transactions?

After the conversions reported, the Form 4/A shows Binod Patwari directly holds 5,277 Linde plc Ordinary Shares. This total reflects shares received from the performance share unit payouts and restricted stock unit vesting, with no corresponding reported sales or tax-withholding dispositions in this amendment.
