Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 12, 2009, Sensient’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee decided that Robert Edmonds, the Company’s current President and Chief Operating Officer, will not be nominated for re-election to Sensient’s Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 23, 2009. Mr. Edmonds is expected to leave the Company in the near future to pursue other opportunities, and will not be re-elected by the Board as an executive officer at its annual meeting in April. Sensient expects to elect a new Chief Operating Officer and to amend the Bylaws to reduce the number of Board positions from 9 to 8 at the Board’s meeting on April 23, 2009, prior to the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In the meantime Mr. Edmonds’ duties as Chief Operating Officer have been assumed by Kenneth P. Manning, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who also had the duties of the Chief Operating Officer of the Company for more than 15 years.
