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

On October 13, 2023, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) of Aramark (the “Company”), pursuant to the terms of the Third Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Incentive Plan and to reflect the separation of the Company’s uniform and workplace supplies business that occurred on September 30, 2023 (the “Separation”), approved amendments to the performance goals and performance periods for the Company’s outstanding performance stock units (“PSUs”). Before these amendments, the PSUs issued in fiscal 2022 were subject to performance targets based on Company performance for the three-year period ending September 27, 2024. To account for the Separation, two-thirds of these PSUs will now be subject to new adjusted performance targets and an adjusted performance period for the two-year period ending September 29, 2023 (reflecting pre-Separation Company performance) and the remaining one-third of these PSUs will be subject to new adjusted performance targets for the one-year period ending September 27, 2024 (reflecting performance of the Company post-Separation). The PSUs issued in fiscal 2023 which were subject to performance targets for the three-year period ending September 26, 2025, were amended to be subject to adjusted performance targets primarily to reflect the Company on a post-Separation basis.

In addition, on October 13, 2023, the Committee approved permitted adjustments to the Company’s 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”) to reflect the Separation. The approved adjustments increased the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock authorized for awards under the 2023 Plan by an additional 3,487,176 shares.
