EXPLANATORY NOTE

On January 26, 2023, Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Filing”) to report the results of its 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which was held on the same day (the “Annual Meeting”). This Amendment No. 1 amends the Original Filing solely to report the frequency with which the Company will conduct future advisory votes regarding the compensation of its named executive officers (i.e., say on pay votes). No other changes have been made to the Original Filing.

 

Item 5.07.

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Consistent with the recommendation of the Company’s board of directors, approximately 98.77% of votes at the Annual Meeting were cast in favor of conducting advisory say on pay votes on an annual basis. In light of this result and for the reasons set forth in the Company’s proxy statement with respect to the Annual Meeting, the Company will conduct annual say on pay votes until the next shareholder advisory vote regarding the frequency of such votes. The next advisory vote regarding say on pay frequency is currently required to occur no later than the Company’s 2029 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
