Linde Aktiengesellschaft ("Linde") confirms that Linde and Praxair, Inc. ("Praxair") are in advanced negotiations with a consortium comprising Messer Group GmbH and funds advised by CVC regarding the sale of the majority of Linde's gases business in North America and certain Linde and Praxair assets in South America. Any execution of the agreement would still be subject to the approval of the competent boards of the contracting parties.
Linde and Praxair consider a divestiture of such business to be necessary in order to allow merger clearance of the proposed business combination by the relevant competition agencies.
