IFF Announces Pricing of Tender Offers For Certain Outstanding Series of Notes

IFF (NYSE:IFF) announced today the Total Consideration (as defined below) payable in connection with its previously announced tender offers to purchase for cash: (i) up to $1,100,000,000 aggregate purchase price, excluding accrued and unpaid interest (the "Amended Pool 1 Maximum Amount"), of its 1.230% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes"), 1.832% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Notes"), 4.450% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes") and 2.300% Senior Notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes" and collectively with the 2025 Notes, the 2027 Notes and the 2028 Notes, the "Pool 1 Notes") and (ii) up to $900,000,000 aggregate purchase price, excluding accrued and unpaid interest (the "Amended Pool 2 Maximum Amount" and, together with the Amended Pool 1 Maximum Amount, the "Amended Maximum Amounts"), of its 3.268% Senior Notes due 2040 (the "2040 Notes"), 4.375% Senior Notes due 2047 (the "2047 Notes"), 5.000% Senior Notes due 2048 (the "2048 Notes") and 3.468% Senior Notes due 2050 (the "2050 Notes" and collectively with the 2040 Notes, the 2047 Notes and the 2048 Notes, the "Pool 2 Notes" and, together with the Pool 1 Notes, the "Notes"), subject to prioritized acceptance levels listed in the table below ("Acceptance Priority Levels"), Series Tender Caps (as defined below), if applicable, and the terms and conditions of the tender offers.

The table below sets forth, among other things, the aggregate principal amount of each series of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 15, 2025 (the "Early Tender Date") and expected to be accepted for purchase in each tender offer, the approximate proration factor for such Notes and the Total Consideration for each series of such Notes, as calculated at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, today, May 16, 2025.

The tender offers are being made upon the terms, and subject to the conditions, previously described in the Offer to Purchase dated May 2, 2025, as amended and supplemented by IFF's news release on May 16, 2025 (as so amended, the "Offer to Purchase"). IFF refers investors to the Offer to Purchase for the complete terms and conditions of the tender offers.

Withdrawal rights for the Notes expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Early Tender Date. The tender offers for the Notes will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 2, 2025, or any other date and time to which IFF extends the applicable tender offer, unless earlier terminated. As previously announced, IFF expects to elect to exercise its right to make payment on May 20, 2025 (the "Early Settlement Date") for Notes that were validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date and that are accepted for purchase. IFF intends to fund the purchase of validly tendered and accepted Notes with the cash proceeds from the sale of its Pharma Solutions business, which was completed on May 1, 2025.

Because the Pool 1 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date have an aggregate purchase price, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, that exceeds the Amended Pool 1 Maximum Amount, IFF does not expect to accept for purchase all Pool 1 Notes that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date. Rather, subject to the Amended Pool 1 Maximum Amount, the Series Tender Caps and the Acceptance Priority Levels set forth in the table above, in each case as further described in the Offer to Purchase, IFF expects to accept for purchase $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes and $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date. IFF expects to accept for purchase $266,678,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date on a prorated basis using a proration factor of approximately 50.90%. IFF does not expect to accept for purchase any amount of the 2028 Notes. Because the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes and the 2027 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date exceeds the 2025 Series Tender Cap and Amended 2027 Series Tender Cap, IFF expects to accept for purchase an amount equal to the applicable Series Tender Cap in each case validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date on a prorated basis using a proration factor of approximately 58.91% and 73.97%, respectively. As described further in the Offer to Purchase, Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase will be promptly credited to the tendering holder's account. Additionally, because the Pool 1 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date have an aggregate purchase price, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, that exceeds the Amended Pool 1 Maximum Amount, IFF does not expect to accept for purchase any Pool 1 Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date on a subsequent settlement date.

Because the Pool 2 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date have an aggregate purchase price, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, that exceeds the Amended Pool 2 Maximum Amount, IFF does not expect to accept for purchase all Pool 2 Notes that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date. Rather, subject to the Amended Pool 2 Maximum Amount, the Series Tender Caps and the Acceptance Priority Levels set forth in the table above, in each case as further described in the Offer to Purchase, IFF expects to accept for purchase $649,114,000 aggregate principal amount of 2050 Notes, $417,599,000 aggregate principal amount of 2040 Notes, and $103,796,000 aggregate principal amount of 2047 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date. Because the aggregate principal amount of the 2050 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date is equal to the Amended 2050 Series Tender Cap, IFF expects to accept for purchase all of the 2050 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date. IFF expects to accept for purchase all of the 2040 Notes and 2047 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date. IFF expects to purchase an aggregate principal amount of $115,138,000 of the 2048 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date on a prorated basis using a proration factor of approximately 39.11%. As described further in the Offer to Purchase, Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase will be promptly credited to the tendering holder's account. Additionally, because the Pool 2 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date have an aggregate purchase price, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, that exceeds the Amended Pool 2 Maximum Amount, IFF does not expect to accept for purchase any Pool 2 Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date on a subsequent settlement date.

The applicable Total Consideration listed in the table above (the "Total Consideration") will be paid per $1,000 principal amount of each series of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable tender offer on the Early Settlement Date. Only holders of Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes prior to or at the Early Tender Date are eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration for Notes accepted for purchase. Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the applicable last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date.

All Notes accepted for purchase will be retired and cancelled and will no longer remain outstanding obligations of IFF.

IFF's obligation to accept for payment and to pay for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the tender offers is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. IFF reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to (i) waive any and all conditions to any of the tender offers, (ii) extend or terminate any of the tender offers, (iii) further increase or decrease either of the Amended Maximum Amounts and/or increase, decrease or eliminate any of the Series Tender Caps (other than the 2040 Series Tender Cap), or (iv) otherwise further amend any of the tender offers. IFF may take any action described in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to one or more tender offers without having to do so for all tender offers.
