PART II

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

The following documents, which have been filed by the Registrant with the Commission, are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement:

For purposes of this Registration Statement, any document or any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement. Nothing in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to incorporate information furnished but not filed with the Commission pursuant to Item 2.02 or Item 7.01 of Form 8-K.

An aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 of deferred compensation obligations are being registered hereby based on estimated contributions of eligible employees of the Registrant and its subsidiaries under the International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. 2023 Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Further amounts may be registered and issued as new or existing participants of the Plan elect to defer portions of their compensation in subsequent years.

The Plan is an unfunded plan and is intended to be a “top hat” plan for the purpose of providing deferred compensation to a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of the

Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Under the Plan, select, highly-compensated senior executives of the Registrant have the opportunity to defer payment of a portion of their salary, bonus, commissions and/or equity-based compensation. The amount to be deferred by each participant in the Plan is determined in accordance with the Plan based on elections by the participant.

Under the Plan, the obligations of the Registrant to pay such deferred amounts in the future to the Plan participants in accordance with the terms of the Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Obligations”) will be unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Registrant and will rank pari passu with other unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness of the Registrant from time to time outstanding.

The Plan allows a participant to elect to defer a portion of his or her pre-tax eligible compensation. The amount elected for deferral will be credited to that participant’s account and adjusted to reflect investment results of recordkeeping investment options selected by the participant from alternatives provided by the Registrant. Any deferrals of shares of common stock or common stock-based awards deferred under the Plan will be credited to a common stock sub-account as deferred stock. The committee administering the Plan may also permit participants to elect to allocate cash deferrals to the common stock sub-account. Amounts credited as deferred stock to a participant’s sub-account may not be reallocated to other investment alternatives. Deferrals are eligible for matching contributions by the Registrant as applicable for each participant.

Subject to the Plan and applicable tax rules, at the participant’s election benefits from the Plan may be distributed to the participant in a lump sum during employment or in annual installments. Additionally, benefits may become distributable to the participant or his or her beneficiary, estate, or alternative payee upon a specified payment date, termination of employment, death, or disability. If a change in control (as defined in the Plan) occurs, all deferral periods will be automatically accelerated to end at the time of the change in control and will be settled within five business days after the deferral period, unless such distribution would violate Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Shares of common stock deliverable in settlement of a participant’s deferred stock account in connection with a deferral of a common stock denominated award granted or acquired under another plan, program, employment agreement or other arrangement that provides for the issuance of shares of common stock, shall be deemed to have originated, and shall be counted against the number of shares reserved, under such other plan, program or arrangement. Shares of common stock actually delivered in settlement of such deferral shall be originally issued shares or treasury shares in accordance with the terms of such other plan, program or arrangement. In the case of shares of common stock deliverable in connection with deferred stock credited in connection with dividend equivalents, or if the committee administering the Plan authorizes deemed investments in deferred stock by participants deferring cash, any shares of common stock to be delivered in settlement of such deferred stock shall be solely treasury shares or shares acquired in the market issued in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

The Compensation Committee of the Registrant reserves the right to amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan at any time, except that, without the consent of a participant, no such action shall materially and adversely affect the rights of such participant with respect to any rights to payment of amounts credited to such participant’s deferral account. Termination or liquidation of the Plan in its entirety must be consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan will remain in effect until it is terminated.

Jennifer Johnson, Esq. whose legal opinion with respect to the deferred compensation obligations and equity registered hereunder is filed as Exhibit 5.1 hereto, is employed by the Registrant and is eligible to participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan. As of the date of this Registration Statement, Ms. Johnson beneficially owns 4,003 shares of IFF Common Stock and holds 1,749 restricted stock units that, upon vesting, will settle in additional shares of IFF Common Stock. Ms. Johnson is not participating in the Deferred Compensation Plan.

Pursuant to Article VI, Section 1 of IFF’s Bylaws, as they may be amended (the “IFF Bylaws”), IFF has agreed to indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of IFF, or was serving, at the request of IFF, as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of any other affiliated corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by such person as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, unless a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such person establishes that his or her acts, or the acts of the person of whom he or she is the legal representative, were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he or she, or the person of whom he or she is the legal representative, personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she, or the other person of whom he or she is the legal representative, was not legally entitled. The IFF Bylaws provide that IFF shall advance to such person funds to pay for such expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by such person in defending against any such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such funds to IFF if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such person establishes that his or her acts, or the acts of the person of whom he or she is the legal representative, were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he or she, or the person of whom he or she is the legal representative, personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she, or such person, was not legally entitled.

Article VI, Section 2 of the IFF Bylaws provides that if a claim under Article VI, Section 1 of the IFF Bylaws is not paid in full by IFF within thirty (30) days after a written claim has been received by IFF, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against IFF to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expenses of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to IFF) that the claimant, or the person of whom he or she is the legal representative, has not met the standard of conduct established in Article VI, Section 1 of the IFF Bylaws, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on IFF. Neither the failure of IFF (including IFF’s board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper because the claimant or such person has met the said standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by IFF (including IFF’s board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) that the claimant or such person has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to action or create a presumption that the claimant or such person has not met such standard of conduct.

Article VI, Section 3 of the IFF Bylaws provides that subject to the limitations contained in Article VI, Section 1 of the IFF Bylaws, the right to indemnification and the payment of expenses conferred under the IFF Bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right to which any person seeking indemnification or advancement or payment of expenses may be entitled.

Article VI, Section 6 of the IFF Bylaws also provides that IFF may purchase and maintain insurance to indemnify officers, directors and others against costs or liabilities incurred by them in connection with the performance of their duties and any activities undertaken by them for, or at the request of, IFF, to the fullest extent permitted by the New York Business Corporation Law (the “NYBCL”).

Section 721 of the NYBCL provides, among other things, that indemnification pursuant to the NYBCL will not be deemed exclusive of other indemnification rights to which a director or officer may be entitled, provided that no indemnification may be made if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that (i) his or her acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, and, in either case, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or (ii) he or she personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she was not legally entitled.

Section 722(a) of the NYBCL provides, among other things, that a corporation may indemnify a person made, or threatened to be made, a party to any civil or criminal action or proceeding, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure judgment in its favor, but including an action by or in the right of any other corporation or entity which any director or officer served in any capacity at the request of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she or his or her testator or intestate was a director or officer of the corporation or served such other entity in any capacity, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service to any other entity, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. With respect to actions by or in the right of the corporation to procure judgment in its favor, Section 722(c) of the NYBCL provides that a person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation or who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of any other corporation or entity may be indemnified against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such an action, or any appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service to any other entity, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and that no indemnification may be made in respect of (i) a threatened action, or a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or (ii) any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and to the extent an appropriate court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to partial or full indemnification.

Section 723 of the NYBCL specifies, among other things, the manner in which the corporation may authorize payment of such indemnification. It provides that a director or officer who has been successful, whether on the merits or otherwise, in defending an action or proceeding of the character described in Section 722 of the NYBCL, shall be entitled to indemnification by the corporation. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, indemnification may be made by the corporation only if authorized in the specific case by one of the corporate actions set forth in Section 723 (unless ordered by a court under Section 724 of the NYBCL).

Section 724 of the NYBCL provides, among other things, that upon proper application by a director or officer, indemnification shall be awarded by a court to the extent authorized under Sections 722 and 723(a) of the NYBCL.

Section 725 of the NYBCL contains, among other things, certain other miscellaneous provisions affecting the indemnification of directors and officers, including provision for the return of amounts paid as indemnification if any such person is ultimately found not to be entitled to the indemnification.

Section 726(a) of the NYBCL authorizes the purchase and maintenance of insurance to indemnify (i) a corporation for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of directors and officers under the above sections, (ii) directors and officers in instances in which they may be indemnified by a corporation under such sections, and (iii) directors and officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by a corporation under such sections, provided the contract of insurance covering such directors and officers provides, in a manner acceptable to the New York State Superintendent of Insurance, for a retention amount and for co-insurance.

In addition, Section 402(b) of the NYBCL provides that a corporation may include a provision in its certificate of incorporation eliminating or limiting the liability of its directors to the corporation or its shareholders for damages for the breach of any duty, except for a breach involving bad faith, intentional misconduct, a knowing violation of law or receipt of an improper personal benefit or for certain illegal dividends, loans or stock repurchases. Article Eleven of IFF’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as it may be amended (the “Charter”) contains such a provision.

Further, IFF maintains insurance policies that insure its officers and directors against certain liabilities. IFF has also entered into agreements with certain of its directors and officers that will require IFF, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers to the fullest extent permitted by law.

In addition, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan, to the maximum extent permitted by law, no member of the committee responsible for administering the Plan, nor any person to whom duties have been delegated under the Plan, shall be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in connection with the interpretation and administration of the Plan, except for the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such member or person.

The foregoing summaries are necessarily subject to the complete text of the NYBCL, the IFF Charter, the IFF Bylaws and the Plan and the arrangements referred to above and are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.

107 Calculation of Filing Fee Tables

(a) The Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those subparagraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the undersigned Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

3. Administration.

(a) Authority. The Committee shall administer the Plan in accordance with its terms, and shall have all powers necessary to accomplish such purpose, including the power and authority to construe and interpret the Plan, to define the terms used herein, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations, agreements, forms, and notices relating to the administration of the Plan, to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. To the extent provided herein, the Administrator shall share in these powers, subject to such limitations imposed by and oversight of the Committee. Any actions of the Committee and Administrator with respect to the Plan and determinations in all matters hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon all persons, including the Company, Participants, employees, and non-employee directors (in their individual capacities) and their respective successors in interest (subject to the Board’s and Committee’s reserved authority hereunder).

(b) Service on Committee or as Administrator. Members of the Committee shall be appointed by and remain in office at the will of, and may be removed with or without cause by, the Board. Persons serving as the Administrator shall be appointed by and remain in office at the will of, and may be removed with or without cause by, the Committee. Any member of the Committee or Administrator may resign at any time. The Committee or Administrator may delegate administrative and other functions under the Plan to officers or employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, or other agents, except as limited by the Plan. No member of the Committee or Administrator shall be entitled to act on or decide any matter relating solely to himself or herself or any of his or her rights or benefits under the Plan. No bond or other security shall be required in connection with the Plan of the Committee or the Administrator or any member thereof in any jurisdiction.

(c) Limitation of Liability. Each member of the Committee or Administrator shall be entitled, in good faith, to rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to him or her by any officer or other employee of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate, the Company’s independent certified public accountants, or any executive compensation consultant, legal counsel, or other professional retained by the Company to assist in the administration of the Plan. To the maximum extent permitted by law, no member of the Committee or Administrator, nor any person to whom duties have been delegated under the Plan, shall be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in connection with the interpretation and administration of the Plan, except for the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such member or person.

4. Participation. The Committee shall determine those employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and/or affiliates, from among the executives who qualify as a select group of management or highly compensated employees, who will be eligible to participate in the Plan. Such persons shall be notified of such eligibility by the Administrator. The Committee may limit participation by otherwise eligible employees in its discretion. In addition, each non-employee director of the Company shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.

5. Deferrals. To the extent authorized by the Committee and subject to Section 8, a Participant may elect to defer compensation or awards which may be in the form of cash, Stock, Stock-denominated awards or other property to be received from the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate, including up to (i) 80% of the Participant’s salary, (ii) annual bonus awards, (iii) long-term awards, (iv) retainer fees and meeting fees payable to a non-employee director, and (v) compensation payable under other plans and programs, employment agreements or other arrangements, or otherwise, as may be provided under the terms of such plans, programs and arrangements or as designated by the Committee. Stock-denominated awards that the Committee may authorize for deferral include (i) Stock Units and (ii) shares issuable upon exercise of stock denominated stock acquisition rights (“SARs”), if such SARs are implemented as deferrals of compensation under Code Section 409A rather than as stock rights exempt under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(5). (All deferrals of shares under the Plan are referred to as Deferred Stock, including awards originally denominated “restricted stock units”). Subject to any terms and conditions of deferral set forth under plans, programs or arrangements from which receipt of compensation

4

or awards is deferred and subject to compliance with Code Section 409A, the Administrator may impose limitations on the amounts permitted to be deferred and other terms and conditions on deferrals under the Plan. Any such limitations, and other terms and conditions of deferral, shall be specified in documents setting forth terms and conditions of deferrals under the Plan, rules relating to the Plan or election forms, other forms, or instructions published by or at the direction of the Administrator. The Committee may permit awards and other amounts to be treated as deferrals under the Plan, including deferrals that may be mandatory as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion or under the terms of another plan or arrangement of the Company, for administrative convenience or otherwise to serve the purposes of the Plan and such other plan or arrangement.

(a) Elections. Once an election form, properly completed, is received by the Company, the elections of the Participant shall be irrevocable; provided, however, that the Administrator may in its discretion determine that elections are revocable until the deadline specified for the filing of such election; provided further, that the Administrator may, in its discretion, permit a Participant to elect a further deferral of amounts credited to a Deferral Account by filing a later election form subject to, and in accordance with, Section 5(b).

(b) Date of Election. A Participant’s election to defer compensation or awards hereunder must be received by the Administrator prior to the date specified by or at the direction of the Administrator. Under no circumstances may a Participant defer compensation or awards to which the Participant has attained, at the time of deferral, a legally enforceable right to current receipt of such compensation or awards.

5

6. Deferral Accounts. Deferral Accounts shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.

(a) Establishment; Crediting of Amounts Deferred. One or more Deferral Accounts will be established for each Participant, as determined by the Administrator. The amount of compensation or awards deferred with respect to each Deferral Account will be credited to such Deferral Account as of the date on which such amounts would have been paid to the Participant but for the Participant’s election to defer receipt hereunder, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator. With respect to any fractional shares of Stock or Stock-denominated awards, the Administrator shall determine whether to credit the Deferral Account with a fraction of a share, to pay cash in lieu of the fractional share or carry forward such cash amount under the Plan, round to the nearest whole share, round to the next whole share, or round down to eliminate the fractional share or otherwise make provision

6

for the fractional share. Amounts of hypothetical income and appreciation and depreciation in value of such Deferral Account will be credited and debited to, or otherwise reflected in, such Deferral Account from time to time. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator (including under Section 6(e)), Cash Deferrals shall be deemed invested in a hypothetical investment as of the date of deferral.

(b) Investment Vehicles.

(c) Dividend Equivalents and Adjustments. Deferred Stock credited to a Participant’s Deferral Account will be credited with dividend equivalents and subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 6(c), except as limited by the Committee and in any event such crediting will not apply to any amount that remains subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture unless explicitly authorized by the Committee:

7

(d) Allocation and Reallocation of Hypothetical Investments. A Participant may allocate the Cash Deferral portion of his or her Deferral Account to one or more of the hypothetical investment vehicles authorized under the Plan. Subject to Section 6(b)(ii) and any rules established by the Administrator, a Participant may reallocate such Cash Deferrals as of the Valuation Date or other date specified by the Administrator at or following the filing of Participant’s reallocation election to one or more of such hypothetical investment vehicles, by filing with the Administrator a notice (the reallocation election) in such form as may be specified by the Administrator. The Administrator may, in its discretion, restrict allocation into or reallocation by specified Participants into or out of specified investment vehicles or specify minimum or maximum amounts that may be allocated or reallocated by Participants.

(e) Restrictions on Participant Direction. The provisions of Section 6(b), 6(d) and 7(c) notwithstanding, the Administrator may restrict or prohibit reallocations of amounts deemed invested in specified investment vehicles and subject such amounts to a risk of forfeiture and other restrictions, in order to conform to restrictions applicable to Stock, a Stock-denominated award or any other award or amount deferred under the Plan and resulting in such deemed investment, to comply with any applicable law or regulation, or for such other purpose as the Administrator may determine is not inconsistent with the Plan.

7. Company Contributions.

(a) Amount of Matching Contributions To Be Credited. With respect to each employee-Participant who makes Cash Deferrals under this Plan in a calendar year, the Company shall, on its books, credit a Matching Contribution to such Participant’s Matching Account as described in this Section 7. The amount of Matching Contribution the Company shall credit to a Participant in a calendar year shall be equal to the results of (i) minus (ii), as follows:

8

(b) Time of Crediting of Matching Contributions. The Matching Contributions with respect to a Participant pursuant to (a) above shall be credited to the Participant’s Matching Account on an annual basis and shall be contributed to such Participant’s Matching Account in the calendar year immediately following the end of the calendar year to which such Matching Contribution relates.

(c) Vesting of Matching Account; Other Plan Rules Applicable. Matching Contributions on behalf of a Participant and the Participant’s Matching Account shall be subject to the vesting rules and risks of forfeiture that would have applied to like matching contributions to the Participant and the Participant’s matching account under the RIFP. In other respects, such Matching Contributions and Matching Account shall be subject to the same rules, applied separately, as the rules that apply to the Participant’s Cash Deferrals and Deferral Account under the Plan.

(d) Additional Company Contributions. The Company, in its sole discretion, may make additional matching, supplemental or discretionary contributions to some or all Participants’ Deferral Accounts in such amount and in such manner, and on such terms and conditions (including vesting) as may be determined by the Company at the time such additional contribution is made.

8. Settlement of Deferral Accounts.

(a) Form of Payment. The Company shall settle a Participant’s Deferral Account, and discharge all of its obligations to pay deferred compensation under the Plan with respect to such Deferral Account, as follows:

9

(b) Forfeitures Under Other Plans and Arrangements. To the extent that Stock or any other award or amount (i) is deposited in a Trust pursuant to Section 6 in connection with a deferral of Stock, a Stock-denominated award, or any other award or amount under another plan, program, employment agreement or other arrangement, or otherwise is deemed to be deferred under the Plan without such a deposit, and (ii) is forfeited pursuant to the terms of such plan, program, agreement or arrangement, the Participant shall not be entitled to the value of such Stock and other property related thereto (including without limitation, dividends and distributions thereon) or other award or amount, or proceeds thereof. Any Stock or Stock-denominated awards, other property or other award or amount (and proceeds thereof) forfeited shall be returned to the Company.

(c) Changes in Elections as to Distribution. The Administrator may, in its discretion, require or permit on an elective basis a change in the distribution terms applicable to Deferrals in accordance with, and to the fullest extent permitted by, applicable IRS guidance under Code Section 409A, provided that any modifications to such deferrals or permitted election of different deferral periods may not otherwise increase the benefits to a Participant or the costs of such deferrals to the Company other than administrative costs, changes in value of the deferral based on investment performance and indirect expense attributable to the timing of receipt of taxable income and tax deductions.

(d) Timing of Payments.

10

(e) Change in Control. In the event of a “Change in Control,” all deferral periods relating to Deferrals will be automatically accelerated to end at the time of the Change in Control, and each Deferral Account, to the extent affected by such acceleration, will be settled within five business days after the end of the deferral period, provided that the Committee may accelerate this settlement (for all or specified parts of a Deferral Account) in connection with a Change in Control for any reason, subject to applicable limitations under Section 8(e)(iv) and subject to such additional conditions as the Committee may impose. At all times after the Change in Control, in addition to any trustee or other fiduciary under the Plan and any Trust established hereunder, the individual serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control shall have the full authority and the obligation to take any required or appropriate action to cause the Company and any such Trust to pay amounts in settlement and provide the benefits to the Participants in accordance with the Plan and each Participant’s contractual rights thereunder.

(f) No Acceleration. The settlement of a Deferral may not be accelerated prior to the time specified in accordance with this Section 8, except the Company may accelerate the settlement in the case of one of the following events:

11

9. Provisions Relating to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

(a) Avoidance of Liability Under Section 16. With respect to a Participant who is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, the Administrator shall implement transactions under the Plan and administer the Plan in a manner that will ensure that each transaction by such a Participant is exempt from liability under Rule 16b-3 or otherwise will not result in liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

10. Statements. The Administrator will furnish statements, at least once each calendar year, to each Participant reflecting the amounts credited to a Participant’s Deferral Accounts, transactions therein since the date reported on in the last previous statement, and other information deemed relevant by the Administrator.

11. Sources of Stock; Shares Available for Delivery. Shares of Stock deliverable in settlement of Deferred Stock, including shares deposited under the Plan in a Trust pursuant to Section 6, in connection with a deferral of a Stock-denominated award granted or acquired under another plan, program, employment agreement or other arrangement that provides for the issuance of shares, shall be deemed to have originated, and shall be counted against the number of shares reserved, under such other plan, program or arrangement. Shares of Stock actually delivered in settlement of such

12

Deferral shall be originally issued shares or treasury shares in accordance with the terms of such other plan, program or arrangement. In the case of shares deliverable in connection with Deferred Stock credited in connection with dividend equivalents, or if the Committee authorizes deemed investments in Deferred Stock by Participants deferring cash, any shares to be deposited under the Plan in a Trust in connection with such deemed investments in Deferred Stock or otherwise to be delivered in settlement of such Deferred Stock shall be solely treasury shares or shares acquired in the market by or on behalf of the Trust. For this purpose, a total of 1,000,000 treasury shares are hereby reserved for delivery in connection with such Deferred Stock.

12. Amendment and Termination. The Committee may, with prospective or retroactive effect, amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan at any time without the consent of Participants, stockholders or any other person; provided, however, that, without the consent of a Participant, no such action shall materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant with respect to any rights to payment of amounts credited to such Participant’s Deferral Account. The foregoing notwithstanding, subject to Code Section 409A, the Committee may terminate the Plan (in whole or in part) and distribute to Participants (in whole or in part) the amounts credited to his or her Deferral Accounts and reserves the right to accelerate the settlement of any individual Participant’s Deferral Account (in whole or in part) to the extent in compliance with Code Section 409A. The termination of the Plan, and any amendment or alteration to the Plan that is beyond the scope of the authority or the Committee, shall be subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.

13. General Provisions.

(a) Limits on Transfer of Awards. No right, title or interest of any kind in the Plan or to a Deferral Account, payment or right under the Plan shall be transferable or assignable by a Participant or his or her Beneficiary, shall be subject to alienation, anticipation, encumbrance, garnishment, attachment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process, or shall be subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or engagements, or torts of any Participant or his or her Beneficiary, except that rights to payment may be transferred in connection with the death of a Participant by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a valid Beneficiary designation filed with the Administrator in accordance with such rules as the Administrator may prescribe. Any attempt to alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, garnish, attach or take any other action subject to legal or equitable process or encumber or dispose of any interest in the Plan (except as permitted in connection with the Participant’s death) shall be void.

(b) Receipt and Release. Payments (in any form) to any Participant or Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims for the compensation or awards deferred and relating to the Deferral Account to which the payments relate against the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate, and the Administrator may require such Participant or Beneficiary, as a condition to such payments, to execute a receipt and release to such effect (provided that any such release must be signed and become irrevocable within 60 days after termination, and if any amount would be payable during such 60 day period conditioned upon execution of the release and that period would commence in one taxable year and end in the next, the payment shall be made only in the latter taxable year (within the 60-day period) and shall not be within the control of the Participant or Beneficiary). In the case of any payment under the Plan of less than all amounts then credited to an account in the form of Deferred Stock, the amounts paid shall be deemed to relate to the Deferred Stock credited to the account at the earliest time.

(c) Unfunded Status of Awards; Creation of Trusts. Nothing in this Plan, express or implied, is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon or give to any person, firm, association, or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their successors in interest, any right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Plan or any covenant, condition, or stipulation hereof, and all covenants, conditions and stipulations in this Plan, by or on behalf of any party, are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall

13

be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future. The benefits paid under the Plan shall be paid from the general assets of the Company, and the Participants and any Beneficiary or their heirs or successors shall be unsecured general creditors of the Company with no special or prior right to any assets of the Company for payment of any obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section shall preclude the Company, in its sole discretion, from establishing a “rabbi trust” or other vehicle in connection with the operation of this Plan, provided that no such action shall cause the Plan to fail to be an unfunded plan designed to provide deferred compensation benefits for a select group of management or highly compensated employees.

(d) Compliance. A Participant in the Plan shall have no right to receive payment (in any form) with respect to his or her Deferral Account until legal and contractual obligations of the Company relating to establishment of the Plan and the making of such payments shall have been complied with in full. In addition, the Company shall impose such restrictions on Stock delivered to a Participant hereunder and any other interest constituting a security as it may deem advisable in order to comply with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Stock is then listed or quoted, any state securities laws applicable to such a transfer, any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, or any other law, regulation or binding contract to which the Company is a party.

(e) Code Section 409A. Other provisions of the Plan notwithstanding, the terms of any Deferral, including any authority of the Company and rights of the Participant with respect to the Deferral, shall be limited to those terms permitted under Code Section 409A, and any terms not permitted under Code Section 409A shall be automatically modified and limited to the extent necessary to conform with Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance issued thereunder.

(f) Other Participant Rights. No Participant shall have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company under the Plan, including as a result of the crediting of Stock equivalents or other amounts to a Deferral Account, or the creation of any Trust and deposit of such Stock therein, except at such time as Stock may be actually delivered in settlement of a Deferral Account. No provision of the Plan or transaction hereunder shall confer upon any Participant any right to be employed by the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate or to continue to serve as a director, or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate to increase or decrease the amount of any compensation payable to such Participant. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8 hereof, the Plan shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.

(g) Short-Term Deferrals. In the case of any compensation that qualifies as a short-term deferral under Code Section 409A (see Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4)) and provides for a distribution upon the lapse of a substantial risk of forfeiture, if the timing of such distribution (compliant with Code Section 409A) is not otherwise specified in the award agreement or other governing document, the distribution shall be made at a date not later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the substantial risk of forfeiture lapses. If any portion of such compensation is scheduled to vest at a single specified date (a vesting “tranche”) and is partly deemed a Deferral subject to Code Section 409A and partly deemed exempt from Code Section 409A (as a short-term deferral or otherwise), the time of settlement of the entire tranche will be governed by the distribution rules applicable to such Deferral.

(h) Tax Withholding. The Company and any subsidiary or affiliate shall have the right to deduct from amounts otherwise payable by the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate to the Participant, including compensation not subject to deferral as well as amounts payable hereunder in settlement of the Participant’s Deferral Account, any sums that federal, state, local or foreign tax law requires to be withheld with respect to the deferral of compensation hereunder, transactions affecting the Participant’s Deferral Account, and payments in settlement of the Participant’s Deferral Account, including FICA, Medicare and other employment taxes. Shares may be withheld to satisfy such mandatory withholding obligations in any case where taxation would be

14

imposed upon the delivery of shares, except that shares issued or delivered under any plan, program, employment agreement or other arrangement may be withheld only in accordance with the terms of such plan, program, employment agreement or other arrangement and any applicable rules, regulations or resolutions thereunder. Withholding from Deferrals shall be permitted only to the extent such withholding does not result in penalties to the Participant or a Beneficiary under Code Section 409A. No amounts deferred by or payable to a non-employee director under the Plan will be subject to withholding.

(i) Right of Setoff. The Company or any subsidiary may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, deduct from and set off against any amounts the Company or a subsidiary may owe to the Participant from time to time, including amounts payable in connection with Participant’s Deferral Account, owed as wages, fringe benefits or other compensation owed to the Participant, such amounts as may be owed by the Participant to the Company, although the Participant shall remain liable for any part of the Participant’s payment obligation not satisfied through such deduction and setoff. By electing to participate in the Plan and defer compensation hereunder, the Participant agrees to any deduction or setoff under this Section 13(j). The foregoing notwithstanding, no deduction or setoff may be made with respect to a Participant’s Deferral Account except at the time a payment is otherwise to be made in settlement of such Deferral Account, and only to the extent of such payment. If the Company has a right of setoff that could apply to a Deferral, such right may only be exercised at the time the Deferral would have been distributed to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary, and may be exercised only as a setoff against an obligation that arose not more than 30 days before and within the same year as the distribution date if application of such setoff right against an earlier obligation would not be permitted under Code Section 409A.

(j) Rules Applicable to Certain Participants Transferred to Affiliates. For purposes of determining a separation from service (where the use of the following modified definition is based upon legitimate business criteria), in applying Code Sections 1563(a)(1), (2) and (3) for purposes of determining a controlled group of corporations under Code Section 414(b), the language “at least 20 percent” shall be used instead of “at least 80 percent” at each place it appears in Sections 1563(a)(1), (2) and (3), and in applying Treasury Regulation § 1.414(c)-2 (or any successor provision) for purposes of determining trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated) that are under common control for purposes of Code Section 414(c), the language “at least 20 percent” shall be used instead of “at least 80 percent” at each place in which it appears. For purposes of this Plan, references to a term or event (including any authority or right of the Company or a Participant) being “permitted” under Code Section 409A mean that the term or event will not cause the Participant to be deemed to be in constructive receipt of compensation relating to such Deferral prior to the distribution of cash, shares or other property or to be liable for payment of interest or a tax penalty under Code Section 409A.

(k) Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan, any rules and regulations relating to the Plan and any document hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws, and applicable provisions of federal law.

(l) Limitation. A Participant and his or her Beneficiary shall assume all risk in connection with any decrease in value of the Deferral Account and neither the Company, the Committee nor the Administrator shall be liable or responsible therefore.

(m) Construction. The captions and numbers preceding the sections of the Plan are included solely as a matter of convenience of reference and are not to be taken as limiting or extending the meaning of any of the terms and provisions of the Plan. Whenever appropriate, words used in the singular shall include the plural or the plural may be read as the singular.

(n) Severability. In the event that any provision of the Plan shall be declared illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan but shall be fully severable, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein.

15

(o) Status. The establishment and maintenance of, or allocations and credits to, the Deferral Account of any Participant shall not vest in any Participant any right, title or interest in and to any Plan assets or benefits except at the time or times and upon the terms and conditions and to the extent expressly set forth in the Plan and in accordance with the terms of the Trust.

14. Effective Date. The Plan shall be effective as of January 1, 2023. The latest amendment and restatement of the Plan shall become effective as of January 1, 2033.

421 West 57th Street

New York, New York 10019

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of International Flavors & Fragrances Inc., a New York corporation (the “Company”). In that capacity, I have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), of a registration statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) on the date hereof for the purpose of registering (i) $100,000,000 of certain deferred compensation obligations (the “Deferred Compensation Obligations”) which represent unsecured obligations of the Company to pay deferred compensation in the future pursuant to the 2023 Deferred Compensation Plan of the Company, effective as of January 1, 2023 (the “Plan”) and (ii) 1,000,000 of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.125 per share (“Common Stock”) held by the Company in treasury (the “Shares”), available for distribution pursuant to the Plan.

In connection with rendering this opinion, I have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such corporate documents and records of the Company and such other documents, certificates, resolutions and corporate or other records as I have deemed necessary or advisable as a basis for rendering the opinions set forth herein. I have assumed that the signatures on all documents that I have examined are genuine.

This opinion is limited solely to matters governed by the laws of the United States of America and the Business Corporation Law of New York, and I express no opinion with respect to any other laws. Insofar as this opinion relates to Common Stock to be issued in the future, I have assumed that all applicable laws, rules and regulations in effect at the time of such issuance are the same as those in effect on the date hereof.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

1. When the Deferred Compensation Obligations are issued in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Plan, such Deferred Compensation Obligations will be valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general equity principles.

2. The Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued by the Company and, when such Shares are distributed in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Plan, such Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; provided that the consideration for each Share of Common Stock is not less than the par value thereof.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to me in the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto.
