This Form 4 filing reports changes in beneficial ownership for Hugh Grant, a director of Linde plc. The filing shows that on October 1, 2026, Grant acquired 72.425 deferred stock units under the Linde Non-Employee Director Deferral Plan. These deferred stock units will pay out in Linde ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis upon his termination of service as a director. The filing also notes that Grant held 1,081.914 ordinary shares directly.

In addition, the filing reports two restricted stock unit holdings. The first consists of 473.148 units that have fully vested but whose payout in ordinary shares has been deferred until termination of service or a specific future date. The second consists of 476.009 units that will vest in full one year after a March 9, 2026 grant date, provided Grant remains on the board continuously through that date, with certain exceptions for pro-rata payouts. The vested payout for this award is also deferred until his board service ends.
