Item 8.01. Other Events.

On May 16, 2016, Aramark issued a press release announcing that its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Aramark Services, Inc., priced a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior unsecured notes due 2024 (the “2024 notes”) and $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.750% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (together with the 2024 notes, the “Notes”). The 2024 notes are expected to constitute a further issuance of the Issuer’s $400 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due 2024 that were issued on December 17, 2015.

The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to redeem a portion of its outstanding 5.75% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 notes”), repay certain borrowings under its senior secured credit facilities and pay related fees and expenses. In connection with the pricing of the offering, on May 16, 2016 the Issuer provided a notice of conditional partial redemption to holders of its 2020 notes relating to the redemption of $771.2 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 notes on June 15, 2016. The redemption is conditioned on the consummation of the offering of the Notes.

The text of the press release, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
