Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Innophos Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 16, 2015 (the “Prior Report”), the Company previously entered into a Transition Agreement with Randolph Gress (the “Transition Agreement”). Pursuant to this Transition Agreement, the terms of which were summarized in, and a copy of which was filed as an exhibit to, the Prior Report, the Board has determined that the transition period set forth in the Transition Agreement has been completed as of January 29, 2016. Accordingly, on January 29, 2016, Mr. Gress has resigned as Chairman of the Board and as a director of the Company, effective immediately.

Following this resignation, the Board appointed Kim Ann Mink, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, as a director of the Company to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Gress’ resignation. This appointment is consistent with Dr. Mink’s employment agreement which was summarized in, and filed as an exhibit to, the Prior Report. The Board has not chosen a Chairperson at this time to succeed Mr. Gress and Gary Cappeline will continue to serve as the Lead Independent Director of the Company.

A copy of the press release reporting the foregoing events is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
