On April 11, 2014, Sensient Technologies Corporation ("Sensient" or the "Company") issued a press release commenting on a report issued by Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”), a leading proxy voting advisory and corporate governance services firm, recommending that Sensient’s shareholders vote on the WHITE proxy card at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on April 24, 2014. The Company’s press release is furnished below.
LEADING PROXY ADVISORY FIRM ISS RECOMMENDS THAT SENSIENT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE
ON THE WHITE PROXY CARD
 
MILWAUKEE – April 11, 2014 – Sensient Technologies Corporation (NYSE: SXT; “Sensient”) today commented on a report issued by Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”), a leading proxy voting advisory and corporate governance services firm, recommending that Sensient’s shareholders vote on the WHITE proxy card at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on April 24, 2014.

In ISS’s report issued on April 10, 2014, the firm acknowledged Sensient’s improving performance and stated, “The dissident critique of poor performance appears unfounded, and does not appear to account for the company’s improving fundamentals since 2009.”  In addition, ISS also highlighted the fact that FrontFour has not made a compelling case for change stating, “…the dissidents, in centering their arguments on the need for strategic and operating changes, have not made a compelling case that those changes are necessary…”

The Company issued the following statement in response to the ISS report, “We appreciate that ISS recognizes the improving performance we are delivering through the execution of our proven strategic plan.  We agree with ISS that shareholders should vote on the WHITE proxy card, however, we strongly disagree with their recommendation to withhold on our highly qualified directors.  Our Board has the necessary experience and expertise to continue to guide Sensient in the execution of our strategic plan and remains committed to delivering value to all shareholders.  We urge shareholders to support the continued execution of Sensient’s plan by voting on the WHITE proxy card for our directors.”

Sensient urges shareholders to vote the WHITE proxy card “For” the Company’s highly-qualified nominees.  Shareholders can find additional information regarding the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders at www.sensient.com.
