IFF director defers 2,281 RSUs into stock units

INTERNATIONAL FLAVORS & FRAGRANCES INC director Jesus B. Mantas adjusted his equity compensation structure with no open-market trading.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

INTERNATIONAL FLAVORS & FRAGRANCES INC director Jesus B. Mantas adjusted his equity compensation structure with no open-market trading. On May 1, 2026, 2,281 Restricted Stock Units that had fully vested were surrendered to the company and replaced, on a one-for-one basis, with 2,281 Stock Equivalent Units.

The new Stock Equivalent Units are payable in an equal number of shares of Common Stock under the company’s deferred compensation plan when Mantas leaves the Board or on a set date after retirement. This filing reflects routine non‑cash director compensation and deferral, rather than a purchase or sale of IFF stock in the market.

Restricted Stock Units financial

"On September 2, 2025, the reporting person was granted 2,281 RSUs, all of which vested on May 1, 2026."

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

Stock Equivalent Units financial

"Upon the vesting of RSUs on May 1, 2026, the reporting person deferred the receipt of 2,281 shares of Common Stock and received instead 2,281 Stock Equivalent Units ("Units") pursuant to the Company's deferredcompensation plan."

Stock equivalent units are financial claims or instruments that are treated as if they were actual shares for purposes like calculating ownership, dilution, and earnings per share. Think of them as promises or placeholders for future slices of company pie—options, restricted units, or convertible securities—that don’t yet sit on the table but will reduce each existing slice when converted. Investors track them because they change how much of a company each share really represents and can affect valuation and voting power.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Program financial

"Represent RSUs granted under the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program."

deferred compensation plan financial

"received instead 2,281 Stock Equivalent Units ("Units") pursuant to the Company's deferredcompensation plan."

A deferred compensation plan is an arrangement where an employer agrees to pay part of an employee’s pay or bonus at a later date instead of immediately, often to reduce current tax bills or to tie rewards to long-term performance. For investors it matters because these promises create future cash obligations and influence executive incentives and retention; they can affect a company’s reported liabilities, cash flow planning and the risk profile if the business faces financial trouble.
