, non-employee director. The plan was terminated effective as of June 30, 2014, but that termination did not impair the rights of currently active or past eligible directors to receive or continue to receive the payments to which the eligible director would have been entitled through the termination date. The Company has a Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan available to any director who is entitled to compensation as a Board member. Under this plan, a director may defer all or a portion of his or her total director pay. The plan provides that directors who defer all or part of their retainer receive an equivalent amount of Common Stock. Upon retirement, the shares accrued pursuant to this plan will be distributed either: (i) in a single distribution on January 31st of the calendar year following the year in which the director ceases to be a director, or on January 31st of any year thereafter; or (ii) in five equal consecutive annual installments commencing on January 31st of the first calendar year after the director ceases to serve as a director. In the event of death, the balance of shares in a director’s account will be distributed in a single distribution to a designated beneficiary or to the director’s estate. The Company’s 2017 Stock Plan, as amended and restated (the “2017 Stock Plan”), provides for the annual grant of restricted stock awarded to each non-employee director on the Annual Meeting date, as discussed above. The number of shares to be issued is based on a dollar value determined annually in advance by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The shares vest in increments of one-third of the total grant on each of the first, second, and third annual meetings of shareholders after the date of grant. Even after vesting, the shares are subject to Sensient’s stock ownership guidelines for non-employee directors, including a requirement that directors hold at least 75% of future awards (net of taxes and any exercise price) until separation from the Board, with a limited exception for sale of up to 50% of vesting restricted stock to permit payment of related taxes. Set forth below is a summary of the compensation paid to each non-employee director in fiscal 2024: 2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION TABLE
