Impact Evaluation

• Market Cap Context: The transaction has a value of $0, making it immaterial against Aramark's $10.00 billion market capitalization.
• Ownership Concentration: The insider's total holdings remain substantial, but this specific grant is a minor addition.
• Dilution Impact: As these are dividend equivalents on existing awards, the dilutive impact is negligible and already factored into the original grants.
• Transaction Significance: The transaction is a routine part of an executive compensation plan and carries no new market signal.
