DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement No. 333-188284 on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) is filed to deregister certain securities issuable under the Sensient Technologies Corporation 2012 Non-Employee Directors Stock Plan (the “2012 Plan”).

At the annual meeting of shareholders of the Registrant held on April 28, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), the Registrant’s shareholders approved the Sensient Technologies Corporation 2017 Stock Plan, as amended and restated (the “Amended and Restated 2017 Plan”), which provides, among other things, that no new shares may be granted under the 2012 Plan following the Effective Date. The 2012 Plan shall continue to govern awards outstanding as of the Effective Date and such awards shall continue in force and effect until terminated pursuant to their terms.

As a result of the foregoing, the Registrant has terminated all offerings of the Registrant’s securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. Accordingly, pursuant to the undertakings made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 hereby removes from registration all of such securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1.

The Registrant is concurrently filing a separate Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register 350,000 additional shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of the Registrant for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2017 Plan.
