Global Town Hall Event ID 2185371 Speaker: So good morning, good afternoon and good evening to everybody. We have planned a series of town hall meetings regarding our transaction with DuPont. And what we want to do today is we want to give you an overview why we believe it’s a good move. We want to explain to you what kind of business is it and what the benefit for us as IFF will provide this transaction. But now let me talk about the transaction with DuPont. Let’s start with the first slide. I want to give you an overview about the business. I want to give you a clear idea about the strategic rationale behind the deal and the combination and then where are we in the integration and when do we really start and then give you the conclusion. First of all, before we start with N&B DuPont business and overview where IFF is a standalone company because a lot has changed over the last two years as well within IFF. You can see here that we are playing since the acquisition of Frutarom, not just any longer on flavors, fragrances and ingredients, we are in savory solutions, natural colors, natural food protection and healthy ingredients business. You can read all of these numbers. The business has grown to a 5 billion plus business. You will see the final numbers actually during the earnings call week after next week for 2019. And you will appreciate what we have done over the last couple of quarters. Going into the history, I believe it’s really important to understand for all of us that we had planned for move like this for quite some time. If you go to 2015 back, we have started with our first strategy. You can see here what the size of the company was and where we were playing. And then with Frutarom, we made actually an important next step. We did the acquisition in 2018. We have grown the business quite significantly and we are playing now in many more categories than we had played before. Now N&B gives us the next opportunity to solidify our business as a company and to change the market where we are playing in. I just want to pick a couple of numbers here. If you look at the R&D spend of the combined company, it’s more than 500 million in R &D spend and I believe that will take us apart from everybody else who is playing in that room because that gives us the opportunity really to design the best and most innovative solutions for our customers going forward. And also if you take the granted patents as a surrogate parameter for innovation, then you see that we will have more than 9,000 patents and that shows a lot of innovation and a lot of, let’s say, technical platforms we have access to. Actually, it’s even more because if you take on top of it the patents we have filed but which are not granted is around about 12,000. You see where we came from in 2015 and that basically shows the strengths of this combined company. By the way, I have received a lot of feedback from our customers. I just came back from the ACI Congress, the American Cleaning Institute in Orlando. We had, as we can on legal terms, discussions with our customers. They were congratulating us for the announcement of the transaction. And they are very, very excited because now the combined company is becoming, for many of them, the preferred provider and the preferred supplier for technology. They are very excited in particular for biotech solutions because we have now really access to first class biotech capabilities as a facility in Palo Alto which has around about 250 to 300 people just focusing on biotech, which will help us on the ingredient side a lot because, you know, and you remember in particular in the fragrance business, we had this supply crisis a year and a half, two years ago. And we believe that we can solve with these capabilities going forward much better than we’ve done in the past. So let’s talk about the business. I don’t want to read all the numbers. You can read it, but what is important, it’s in food and beverage, it’s dietary supplements, animal nutrition, but also in home and personal care and pharmaexcipients.


LOGO

Global Town Hall Event ID 2185371 The home and personal care here particular in this room where we have many people from the scent business is super complementary to what we are doing, particularly on the consumer fragrance business because they are providing a lot of enzymes, for example, for cleaning solutions, not just for some customers but for many of the major customers. And that will give us and I come to that in a moment, really a nice platform and none of our competitors right now can provide exactly the same for their customers. And I give it to you in actually two slides. The combined company will look like this in terms of size. What is really amazing is in all the categories we are playing, we will be a number one or number two position. I believe that this is really important. We have the broadest and largest customer base in the industry. Both companies are very committed to sustainability. That’s something which is super important I think for all of us, but for many of our customers as well to do business with them. And we certainly have a very world class supply chain in place as well. But let me go a little bit more in detail. Let’s start with R&D because R&D is always very close to my heart. Look at the numbers and the platforms here what we have now in store. We have more than 50 R&D and creative centers with the combined company, which is really fantastic. We have more than 3000 scientists and engineers working on solutions from next year, hopefully after closing onwards. We have more than 40 university partnerships, which is really fantastic and about 12000 patents I talked already. We believe that this will set us big times apart from everybody else in terms of our capabilities and in terms of way we can interact with our customers and come up with new solutions. So this is certainly a core piece of the idea behind the transaction. Yeah, I know it’s tough to read, but just look at the different categories we are playing in, in the future. And if you combine the IFF and DuPont and N&B capabilities, we are playing in most of these areas in a number one or number two market position. And we believe this is super important as well, because you want to have a solid footprint with your customers in the areas where you’re playing and you see as well when you have peer one to peer six that none of our bigger competitors can compete in terms of the wide array of different categories we are playing. And that gives us a lot of good access as well. I don’t want to mention the probiotics and particularly in a season where it is wintery and everybody gets a little bit of a cold. I can already recommend, and hopefully let me do this, but probiotics are very healthy [inaudible] and in general very important to fight off many of these winter diseases. What was an interesting attraction for DuPont is that we have, with our tastepoint model on our taste side taking care of in particular smaller and midsized customers, a very nice platform which gives us good, let’s say, access to these customers and they don’t — they play more with the bigger ones. So we believe that this creates a nice growth opportunity for us going forward as well, and will help us certainly in terms of integrated solutions because many of our customers, whether smaller or bigger, customers are asking us right now for integrated solutions. And I come exactly to this right now. We have two examples, one on the taste side and one on the scent side. You can see here what is certainly on many people’s mind is a plant based proteins. So how can you, let’s say, have a burger patty with soy proteins or other protein sources, plant based protein sources. For us, you know, Beyond Meat, this is an important play in that space. And you can see


LOGO

Global Town Hall Event ID 2185371basically here what we as a company can deliver as a combined company to these. We basically can do the whole product and that gives us an excellent opportunities for many of these companies to create the whole thing and then sell it basically to, to these companies, because if you look at many of the startup companies, they don’t have a lot of R&D capabilities or even manufacturing capabilities. And that’s something which sets us apart from everybody else because they can give maybe the flavor or the seasoning or the natural antioxidants, but they can’t do the plant based protein or emulsifier. But right now we have it all and we can deliver it all. And that’s the beauty of the combination of these two businesses. Now going more into the scent side, which is pretty cool in particular for — actually both for fine fragrances but for consumer fragrances as well. Look at the laundry detergent. I don’t want to read it, but if you are in the enzyme development already, then you can, let’s say, foresee what’s your customer already — what is needed because I start with the enzyme actually earlier than with the fragrance. And we can look how the metrics and the interaction between the different compounds works as well. What is really super important and that goes also to fine fragrance and I know we have many fine fragrance people here is we have now a really robust ingredient pipeline in particular biotech and we have, as IFF, tried so many times with third party manufacturers and outsourced R&D to get better biotech capabilities in, I think we were — our success was limited, to be polite. Now we really have a good opportunity and a great platform to get exactly this in. So getting new molecules, new molecule discovery, green chemistry and biotech altogether, that will set us apart again because in that very field, none of our competitors has exactly that capability. And I believe these are just three examples. We will see more. I will travel with Nicolas for example, to Palo Alto in the next couple of weeks. We will look what we can do in terms of biotech to assess what are the real opportunities. And in all honesty, we started with the thinking in the strategy more from the taste point of view, but now we are discovering more and more what could happen on the scent business as well. And we believe this is super exciting for us. Integration team, you’ve seen it. Rich is leading it from IFF side. We have Angela on N&B side. I think it’s a super cool combination. You have somebody who comes from finance. You have somebody coming from R&D and they all have to figure it out. It will be very interesting, but I think they work very well together and we believe that the teams have now already made considerable progress to form all the sub teams and I come to that in a moment and establish a good IMO where we can work and establish a really, really strong relationship. So in summary, we believe and then we will come up with, let’s say, a new purpose for the combined company and a new vision as well, which will be certainly much far [inaudible] from what we have done so far. We will be certainly one of the most important ingredients and solutions providers. We will have a proven and trusted partner here. We go very deep into the end markets as well because we can in many instances we can do the whole thing, the whole solution. It’s all science-led that something which comes very close to our heart. And I can tell you during the due diligence, I moved or walked into a couple of their facilities and it’s basically the same language. It’s the same dedication to science. And this is the same professionalism as you find in IFF. And that’s something which hopefully makes it easier for us. Our product portfolio, I talked about, it’s just amazing and it’s very much on sustainability focused company as well. And you all know that sustainability is very close to my heart, but very close to the heart of our customers as well. So all in all, we believe it will


LOGO

Global Town Hall Event ID 2185371be a fantastic combination and it will take us probably around 12 months to close the deal. Until then, we are still two separate companies. That’s how we operate, but we already can start to plan to come together and I hope next year, this time when we stand that we are already a combined company that we already have at the ACI Congress in Orlando, a combined booth and that we can take it from there and really can take to market even better than we have done in the past. Thank you for that. Thank you. [END OF TRANSCRIPT]
