Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As previously reported, at its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 21, 2011, a majority of Sensient Technologies Corporation's shareholders cast an advisory, nonbinding vote recommending that future advisory, nonbinding shareholder votes to approve the compensation of our executive officers should be held every year.  In the related proxy statement, we said that the Board would consider the outcome of this shareholder vote when making its determination regarding how frequently the advisory vote regarding executive compensation will be held in the future.

Sensient's Board has decided in light of this vote that the Company will include a shareholder vote on the compensation of executives in its proxy materials at each annual meeting until the next required vote regarding the frequency of shareholder votes on the compensation of executives.  Shareholder advisory votes on the frequency of shareholder votes regarding the compensation of executive officers are required to be held at least every six years.
