Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;


           Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
           Officers.


On July 16, 2020, Aramark ("Aramark") entered into amended and restated Agreements Relating to Employment and Post-Employment Competition between Aramark and each of John J. Zillmer, its Chief Executive Officer, Thomas Ondrof, its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Lynn B. McKee, its Executive Vice President, Human Resources, Keith Bethel, its Chief Growth Officer, and Lauren A. Harrington, its Senior Vice President and General Counsel (such agreements, the "Noncompete Agreements", and as amended and restated, the "Amended Agreements").

The Amended Agreements provide that:



     •  In the case of Mr. Zillmer, in addition to the two years of base salary
        continuation and healthcare continuation amounts that Mr. Zillmer would,
        as originally provided under his Noncompete Agreement, be entitled to
        receive upon a termination of employment (a) by Aramark without "cause"
        (as originally defined in his Noncompete Agreement) or (b) by Mr. Zillmer
        for "good reason" (as originally defined in his Noncompete Agreement),
        other than within the two-year period following a "change of control" (as
        originally defined in his Noncompete Agreement), Mr. Zillmer will be
        entitled to receive: (1) a prorated annual bonus payment for the year of
        termination based on actual performance under Aramark's applicable annual
        bonus plan in respect of the fiscal year in which termination of
        employment occurs (or, if greater, the actual bonus payable under such
        plan), payable at the same time annual bonuses would have otherwise been
        paid had such termination of employment not occurred (the "Prorated
        Bonus"); and (2) a payment equal to two times Mr. Zillmer's target annual
        bonus under Aramark's applicable annual bonus plan, payable in equal
        installments during the applicable severance pay period. Mr. Zillmer's
        Amended Agreement also continues to provide Mr. Zillmer with the same
        payments and benefits (a lump sum payment equal to two and one-half years
        of base salary, a lump sum payment equal to two and one-half times
        Mr. Zillmer's target bonus, a prorated target bonus for the year of
        termination, and benefits continuation for thirty months) as the original
        Noncompete Agreement had provided upon a termination of employment by
        Aramark without "cause" or by him for "good reason" (as originally defined
        in his Noncompete Agreement) within the two-year period following a
        "change of control".


     •  In the case of Mmes. McKee and Harrington, in addition to the eighteen
        months of base salary continuation and healthcare continuation benefits
        that both Mmes. McKee and Harrington would, as originally provided under
        the Noncompete Agreements, be entitled to receive upon a termination of
        employment by Aramark without "cause" (as originally defined in the
        Noncompete Agreements) other than within the two-year period following a
        "change of control", Mmes. McKee and Harrington will be entitled to
        receive: (a) a Prorated Bonus; (b) a payment equal to one and one-half
        times the executive's target annual bonus under Aramark's applicable
        annual bonus plan, payable in equal installments during the applicable
        severance pay period; and (c) reimbursement for professional outplacement
        services incurred during the applicable severance pay period, in an amount
        not to exceed 10% of the executive's base salary at the time of
        termination of employment. The Amended Agreements also continue to provide
        Mmes. McKee and Harrington the same payments and benefits (two years of
        base salary continuation, an amount equal to two times the executive's
        target bonus, paid in installments over two years, a prorated target bonus
        for the year of termination, and benefits continuation for two years) as
        the original Noncompete Agreements had provided upon a termination of
        employment by Aramark without "cause" or by the executives for "good
        reason" (as originally defined in the Noncompete Agreements) within the
        two-year period following a "change of control". In exchange for the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


       cash severance payments described above, Ms. McKee has agreed to forego
       the following legacy entitlements under her Noncompete Agreement: (1) the
       additional lump sum severance payment equal to 18 months of base salary if
       she terminated without "cause" or for "good reason" within the two-year
       period following a change in control and (2) her "golden parachute" excise
       tax gross-up protection.


     •  In the case of Mr. Ondrof, under his Amended Agreement, in addition to the
        eighteen months of base salary continuation and healthcare continuation
        benefits that he would, as originally provided under his Noncompete
        Agreement, be entitled to receive upon a termination of employment by
        Aramark without "cause" (and, solely for healthcare continuation benefits,
        also upon his resignation following the first anniversary of his date of
        hire) other than within the two-year period following a "change of
        control", he would be entitled to the same payments and benefits as Mmes.
        McKee and Harrington are provided in their Amended Agreements, including
        those payments and benefits upon a termination of employment by Aramark
        without "cause" (as originally defined in the Noncompete Agreements) or by
        the executives for "good reason" (as originally defined in the Noncompete
        Agreements) within the two-year period following a "change of control".


     •  In the case of Mr. Bethel, under his Amended Agreement, upon a termination
        of employment by Aramark without "cause" (as originally defined in the
        Noncompete Agreements) other than within the two-year period following a
        "change of control", he would be entitled to the same payments and
        benefits as Mmes. McKee and Harrington and Mr. Ondrof (except for
        Mr. Ondrof's healthcare continuation benefit described above) are provided
        in their Amended Agreements, in addition to those payments and benefits
        upon a termination of employment by Aramark without "cause" (as originally
        defined in the Noncompete Agreements) or by the executives for "good
        reason" (as originally defined in the Noncompete Agreements) within the
        two-year period following a "change of control".


     •  For Mr. Zillmer, in the event he provides at least 6 months' notice that
        he intends to retire from Aramark on or after October 7, 2024, and
        Mr. Zillmer's employment is terminated by the Company without "cause" or
        by Mr. Zillmer for "good reason" during this notice period, he would be
        entitled to continued payment of base salary, benefits, and a prorated
        bonus (as described above) calculated based on employment through the last
        day of the applicable notice period, as well as continued vesting of
        outstanding Company equity-based awards during the applicable notice
        period, but would not be entitled to any other severance payments or
        benefits. In addition, in connection with Mr. Zillmer's Amended Agreement,
        Mr. Zillmer's outstanding Company stock option, restricted stock and
        performance stock unit award agreements have each been amended and
        restated (collectively, the "Amended Equity Agreements") to provide that
        (a) if he retires with 6 months' notice on or after October 7, 2024, any
        of his then outstanding equity awards will continue to vest over the
        applicable remaining vesting periods of any such awards (with stock
        options to remain exercisable until their applicable expiration date), and
        (b) if he dies at any time while employed with us, all then outstanding
        options and restricted stock units will immediately vest (with stock
        options to remain exercisable until the first anniversary of death), and
        any then outstanding performance stock units will remain outstanding and
        eligible to vest during the regularly scheduled performance period,
        subject in the case of performance-based awards to actual achievement of
        the relevant performance goals.


     •  For each of Messrs. Ondrof and Bethel and Mmes. McKee and Harrington, in
        the event the executive provides at least 12 months' notice that he or she
        intends to retire from Aramark at or after the date the executive attains
        age 62 with five years of employment with Aramark and the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


       executive's employment is terminated by the Company without "cause" during
       this notice period and other than within two years following a "change of
       control", the executive would be entitled to continued payment of base
       salary, benefits, and a prorated bonus (as described above) calculated
       based on employment through the last day of the applicable notice period,
       as well as continued vesting of outstanding Company equity-based awards
       during the applicable notice period, but would not be entitled to any
       other severance payments or benefits.


     •  All payments and benefits remain subject to the executive executing a
        release of claims against Aramark and complying with certain
        post-termination restrictive covenants.

As of July 16, 2020, assuming annual bonuses are payable at target and termination occurs on the last day of the current fiscal year other than during the two years following a "change of control", the cash severance entitlements (inclusive of prorated annual bonus) payments would total (i) for Mr. Zillmer, $9,505,280, (ii) for Ms. McKee, $2,986,735, (iii) for Ms. Harrington, $1,906,510, (iv) for Mr. Ondrof, $3,445,060, and (v) for Mr. Bethel, $1,906,510.

Except as described above, the Amended Agreements and Amended Equity Agreements have the same material terms and conditions as were in effect prior to the date of the Amended Agreements and Amended Equity Agreements, which terms and conditions are summarized in Aramark's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 20, 2019.

The foregoing summary description of the Amended Agreements and Amended Equity Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Agreements, which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.5, and of the Amended Equity Agreements, which are attached as Exhibits 10.6 through 10.8, and which are each incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference.
