Linde (LIN) Director Ann‑Kristin Achleitner Receives RSU Award

What Happened

Ann‑Kristin Achleitner, a director of Linde plc (LIN), received a payout of restricted stock units (RSUs) that vested on March 9, 2026. The award totaled 473 ordinary shares (awarded at $0), which converted to Linde ordinary shares on a 1-for-1 basis.
To cover tax withholding, 32.121 shares were withheld/disposed at $484.74 per share, totaling $15,570. After withholding, she retained approximately 440.879 shares (473 − 32.121).
The filing shows conversion/exercise entries of 470.156 derivative units into ordinary shares (1-for-1) related to the RSU payout; these mechanics reflect the RSU vesting and conversion, not a market purchase or sale.
