Summary
This 8-K filing from Linde plc announces key dates and deadlines related to its 2019 annual general meeting (AGM) of shareholders. This will be the company's first AGM as a publicly traded entity, marking a significant event for investors. The report details specific deadlines for shareholders wishing to submit proposals or nominate directors for consideration at the AGM, including deadlines for proxy access, Rule 14a-8 shareholder proposals, Irish statutory proposals, and advance notice of other nominations or proposals.
