The international and national situation linked to the Coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) has led the Company to review the customary organization of the General Meeting to ensure the proper security level for this event. Our General Meeting should be held at the Company's head office, 75 quai d’Orsay, in Paris, France and not at the Palais des Congrès, in Paris.

Shareholders are also invited to regularly consult the section dedicated to the 2020 General Meeting on the company's website  www.airliquide.com .

It is strongly recommended to vote by Internet on the secure voting platform VOTACCESS or by mail using the paper voting form.

Every effort will be made to facilitate your remote participation.

The General Meeting will be broadcast live on  www.airliquide.com  and you will be able to ask questions online, on the airliquide.com website, provided, of course, that the conditions for this broadcast can be met.

If changes in legislation allow it, your Board will favor, in order to guarantee the safety of shareholders as well as of Air Liquide's teams, the convening of a behind closed-door General Meeting, at the Company's head office.

In any case and as an exception, no attendance fees will be paid to shareholders who attend the Meeting.

YOUR VOTING FORM IS CHANGING: WHAT’S NEW?

To reflect regulatory changes introduced by the French law governing the « Simplification, clarification and updating of company law » published on July 19, 2019, your voting form is changing!

If you decide to vote on each of the resolutions, you now have three options:

• vote FOR the resolution: this is the default choice and in this case you are not required to tick any box, your FOR vote is automatically registered,
• vote AGAINST the resolution by ticking the corresponding box,
• you may ABSTAIN (new) by ticking the corresponding box: your shares are counted in the Meeting’s overall quorum. However, your abstention is not taken into account in the calculation to decide whether to adopt or reject the resolution.
