Sensient Technologies: Glass Lewis Now Recommends Voting FOR Executive Say on Pay
Dear Shareholder,
Glass Lewis has updated its report to reflect the additional compensation disclosures made by Sensient since the filing of its definitive proxy statement dated March 15, 2013. Glass Lewis is now recommending that shareholders vote FOR the advisory vote on compensation. The updated note from Glass Lewis reads as follows:
Update: April 8, 2013. We have amended the Company Profile on page 3 as well as our analysis of Proposal 2 in order to reflect changes that the Company made pursuant to a Form 8-K and a Form DEFA-14A, both filed on April 5, 2013. The Company has removed excise tax gross-up benefits and has disclosed an intention to include performance-based awards in its next equity grant to the named executive officers. We now recommend voting "For" Proposal 2. None of our other vote recommendations have changed as a result of this update.
If you have any questions, or would like to arrange a discussion with Sensient, please call D.F. King & Co., Inc. at 212-493-6933.
Thank you
