 officers as disclosed in this proxy statement, including, among other things, our executive compensation objectives, policies, and procedures. We currently hold these non-binding, advisory votes to approve executive compensation annually based on the results of our shareholder vote regarding the frequency of these votes that was last held at our 2023 annual meeting of shareholders. This vote to approve executive compensation is intended to provide an overall assessment of our executive compensation program rather than to focus on any specific item of compensation. The Compensation Committee, and the Board as a whole, value the opinions of our shareholders and intend to take the outcome of this vote into account when considering future executive compensation arrangements. However, because the vote is advisory, it will not directly affect any existing compensation awards of any of our executive officers, including our named executive officers. As discussed in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section above, our executive compensation program is designed:

| • | to measure and reward performance from each of our executive officers and from the management team as a whole; |

| • | to align Sensient’s interests with the interests of executives and other employees through compensation programs that recognize individual contributions toward the achievement of corporate goals and objectives without encouraging unnecessary or excessive risks; |

| • | to further link executive and shareholder interests through equity-based compensation and long-term stock ownership arrangements; |

| • | to attract and retain high caliber executive and employee talent; and |

| • | to encourage management practices, controls, and oversight that prioritize ethical behavior and minimize the risks present in Sensient’s business. |

The application of these principles and our executive compensation philosophy, policies, and procedures have resulted in a corporate culture that recognizes and rewards individual and team performance without encouraging unnecessary or excessive risk taking. We have made and will continue to make refinements to our compensation program from time to time. We encourage you to consider the detailed information provided in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and in the Summary Compensation Table and the tables and other information that follow it. The Board and the Compensation Committee will review the advisory voting results and will take them into account in making future executive compensation decisions. After reviewing the information provided above and in the other parts of this proxy statement, the Board asks you to approve the following advisory resolution: RESOLVED, that Sensient’s shareholders hereby approve, on an advisory, nonbinding basis, the compensation paid to Sensient’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, and narrative discussion in this proxy
