Regulatory News:
Air Liquide's (Paris:AI) Combined General Meeting will be held
on Tuesday, May 5, 2020 at 3:00 p.m. (Paris time), on first
calling, at the Company's head office at 75 quai d'Orsay, 75007
Paris, France. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Air Liquide has
decided this year to favor holding of the General Meeting behind
closed doors to protect the health and safety of its employees and
shareholders. Shareholders are invited to follow the Meeting live
online.
Ordinance No. 2020-321 published on March 25, 2020 modified the
rules for the holding of 2020 General Meetings as a result of the
COVID-19 outbreak and authorizes General Meetings to be held
without members and other persons eligible to attend being present
(behind closed doors). In order to protect the health and safety of
its employees and shareholders, and as contemplated in the
Invitation to the General Meeting published in the French official
gazette (Bulletin des Annonces Légales Obligatoires -- BALO) on
March 25, 2020, Air Liquide's Combined General Meeting will be held
behind closed doors.
Shareholders will be invited to follow the Meeting live online,
provided, of course, that the conditions for the live webcast can
be met. To maintain the dialog with shareholders, to which the
Group is particularly attached, shareholders will have the
possibility to ask questions(1) via a dedicated platform, which
will be accessible during the week preceding the Meeting, i.e. as
of Monday, April 27, 2020. The Chairman will answer the questions
having generated the most interest, live on the day of the
Meeting.
Shareholders are informed that adaptations of the voting
conditions will be necessary and made available on the Company's
website as soon as the application decree of Ordinance No. 2020-321
is published.
Considering that the Meeting will be held behind closed doors,
no admission cards shall be issued and proxies to third parties
shall be processed according to the conditions described on the
Company's website. Votes on the resolutions and proxies to the
Chairman shall be managed as usual.
Voting by Internet is possible since March 31, 2020.
Shareholders are invited to regularly consult the General
Meeting page
(https://www.airliquide.com/shareholders/2020-annual-general-meeting)
which will be updated whenever necessary. The agenda, along with
the various documents relating to this Meeting, may also be
