EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 14A (the “Amendment”) is being filed to amend Sensient Technologies Corporation’s definitive proxy statement for its 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2015. The sole purpose of the Amendment is to correct the summary of the shareholder vote required to adopt a majority voting standard under Wisconsin law as described in Item 3 of the Definitive Proxy Statement. There are no other revisions or amendments to any other parts of the Definitive Proxy Statement previously filed.

The first paragraph under the heading “Vote Required,” which appears on page 66 of the electronic version of the Definitive Proxy Statement previously filed with the SEC (and on page 62 of the printed version of the Definitive Proxy Statement mailed to shareholders), is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

VOTE REQUIRED

The amendment will be approved if at least two-thirds of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Meeting affirmatively vote in favor of approval of the amendment. Under Wisconsin law, any shares not voted at the Meeting with respect to the amendment (whether as a result of abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) will have the same effect as votes cast against the proposal .
