SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT
For
THE 2015 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To Be Held February 3, 2015
On December 31, 2014, Aramark (the Company) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and mailed to its stockholders a definitive proxy statement (the Proxy Statement) for the Companys 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the Annual Meeting) scheduled to be held on February 3, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. Philadelphia time at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, 1201 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19107. The Proxy Statement contains, among other things, proposals to elect directors to the Companys Board of Directors (the Board). This proxy statement supplement, dated January 29, 2015, supplements the Proxy Statement (the Supplement).
The primary purpose of this Supplement is to provide subsequent information relating to recent changes in the Companys Board composition and the proposed nominees to the Board. Except as described in this Supplement, the information provided in the Proxy Statement continues to apply and should be considered in voting your shares. To the extent that information in this Supplement differs from or updates information contained in the Proxy Statement, the information in this Supplement is more current.
Withdrawal of Nominee for Election as Director
On January 26, 2015, Stephen Murray, a member of the Board and a nominee for re-election as a director at the Annual Meeting, informed the Company that he was resigning from the Board effective immediately. Mr. Murrays resignation was not the result of any disagreement between Mr. Murray and the Company on any matter relating to the Companys operations, policies or practices.
Mr. Murray was a director designated by investment funds associated with CCMP Capital Advisors (CCMP) pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2013. CCMP has not designated a director to take Mr. Murrays place at this time.
Mr. Murray was a nominee for re-election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. In connection with his resignation from the Board, Mr. Murray has withdrawn as a candidate for re-election as a director at the Annual Meeting and the Board has decided not to fill the vacancy created by his resignation at this time and no other nominee for election at the Annual Meeting will be named in his place.
Voting Matters
If you have already returned your proxy or provided voting instructions, you do not need to take any action unless you wish to change your vote. Proxies already returned by stockholders (via Internet, telephone or mail) will remain valid and will be voted at the Annual Meeting unless revoked. Proxies received in respect of the re-election of Mr. Murray at the Annual Meeting will not be voted with respect to his election at the Annual Meeting, but will continue to be voted as directed or otherwise as set forth therein and described in the Proxy Statement with respect to all other matters properly brought
before the Annual Meeting. If you have not yet returned your proxy card or submitted your voting instructions, please complete the card or submit instructions, disregarding Mr. Murrays name as a nominee for election as director. Important information regarding how to vote your shares and revoke proxies already submitted is available in the Proxy Statement under the caption General Information.
Sincerely, |
