As part of the implementation of the Air Liquide's new mode of governance, announced on December 1, 2021, the Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Appointments and Governance Committee chaired by Mr. Jean-Paul Agon, Lead Director, approved the draft resolutions which will be submitted to the General Meeting of May 4, 2022 in order notably to renew Mr. Benoît Potier's office as Director, and to appoint Mr. François Jackow as Director, for a period of four years. The Board meeting which will be held at the close of the General Meeting will be called upon to renew Mr. Benoît Potier's term of office as Chairman of the Board of Directors and to appoint Mr. François Jackow to succeed him as Chief Executive Officer with effect from June 1, 2022. Moreover, Ms. Sin Leng Low whose term of office as Director will expire at the close of the General Meeting of May 2022 also indicated that she does not wish to seek renewal of her office as Director. The Board of Directors also decided to maintain, in the context of the new separate governance roles, the office
of a Lead Director, who shall be appointed from among the independent Directors. A Lead Director, with
unchanged powers, will thus be appointed to succeed Mr. Jean-Paul Agon at the Board meeting which will be held
at the close of the General Meeting. The new composition of the Committees will be decided at that same Board
meeting. This information will be communicated after the General Meeting. Finally, the Board of Directors will submit to the vote of the General Meeting the elements of Mr. Benoît Potier's remuneration for 2021, in his capacity as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, together with the
information relating to the remuneration of all the corporate officers for 2021. The General Meeting will also
be invited to decide upon the remuneration policy for the corporate officers which will apply to Mr. Benoît
Potier (in his capacity as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for the period from January 1, 2022 until May 31,
2022 and in his capacity as Chairman of the Board of Directors with effect from June 1, 2022), to Mr. François
Jackow (in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer with effect from June 1, 2022) and to the Directors.
