Under the Stock Repurchase Programme, the board of directors has approved the use of up to US$200m to repurchase shares of the corporation’s Class A or Class B Common Stock. Repurchases will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws in open market or privately negotiated transactions, depending on market conditions, and may be discontinued at any time.


Aramark will evaluate whether to increase the size of the programme as it progresses.


The corporation also announced the establishment of an Employee Stock Trading Programme, which will be available to all current and former Aramark employee shareholders through Mellon Bank, the transfer agent for the corporation’s Class B common stock.


The programme will allow Aramark employee and former employee shareholders to aggregate through Mellon Bank any unrestricted shares they wish to sell into the market. Mellon will execute sales on a rotating basis through certain brokers.
