In May 2004, The Linde Group issued a convertible bond with a nominal amount of €550 million. The dilutive effects of issuing future shares were taken into account in the calculation of earnings per share, to the extent that the bond had not yet been converted into equity.
For the calculation of the adjusted earnings per share, see Note [48].
