Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the annual meeting of Aramark shareholders. I'm Stephen Sadove, Chairman of the Board of Aramark. I'll serve as today's Chairman of the meeting. Assisting me with our meeting is Harold Dichter, Secretary of Aramark. We're continuing our practice of having a virtual meeting. The virtual meeting provides the same rights and advantages of a physical meeting and allows shareholders to present questions online during the meeting, which provides them with meaningful engagement with the company from any place in the world at little or no cost. I'd like to begin by introducing members of our Board of Directors. Our directors are Susan Cameron, Greg Creed, Brian DelGhiaccio, Richard Dreiling, Bridgette Heller, Ken Keverian, Karen King, Patricia Lopez, Kevin Wills, John Zillmer, and myself. I'd like to also acknowledge some other guests attending our meeting today. Certain members of our Aramark leadership team are here with us today, as well as representatives of Deloitte & Touche, our independent public accounting firm. Now, let's get to the order of business. An agenda for the meeting and a list of rules and procedures for the conduct of the annual meeting have been posted to the virtual meeting website. To conduct an orderly meeting, we ask that participants abide by these rules. The following business is scheduled to come before this meeting as outlined in our proxy statement: the election of directors, the ratification of our accountants, and the advisory vote on the compensation of executives. First, I'll ask Harold Dichter to conduct the business portion of the meeting. Thank you, Steve. The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on November 26, 2024, as the record date for determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at this meeting. As of that date, there were 264,882,990 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to be voted at this meeting. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Thus, shares entitled to cast 264,882,990 votes were outstanding on the record date. A notice of the meeting and proxy statement was mailed on December 12, 2024, to shareholders of record on November 26, 2024. A copy is available on the virtual meeting website. I have an affidavit of mailing establishing that such notice was duly given. Representatives of Broadridge, which has been appointed Inspector of Election, report shares of common stock entitled to cast the majority of the votes that may be cast at this meeting are represented here today. Accordingly, a quorum is present. Any record holder who has not yet voted or sent in a proxy card and is participating may vote now by clicking the "Vote Here" button on the virtual meeting website and following the instructions provided. As described in the company's December 12, 2024, proxy statement, the company's Board of Directors has nominated Susan Cameron, Greg Creed, Brian DelGhiaccio, Richard Dreiling, Bridgette Heller, Kenneth Keverian, Karen King, Patricia Lopez, Stephen Sadove, Kevin Wills, and John Zillmer for election as directors of the company to serve until the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are elected and qualified, and has recommended that each such director be so elected. Under the company's bylaws, no other nominations may be made at this time. The board has also recommended that the company's shareholders ratify the audit committee selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company's independent public accounting firm for fiscal year 2025 and approve on a non-binding advisory basis the compensation paid to the named executive officers of the company. As a reminder, shareholders who sent in proxies need not take any further action with respect to the matters to be voted upon today. However, if you have not submitted a proxy or if you would like to change your vote and you are participating in the meeting on the web portal, you may do so now by clicking the "Vote Here" button on your screen. The polls are now declared open at 10:04 A.M. with respect to each of the items before the meeting. In case there is any discussion on these three matters specifically, shareholders can submit a question now by typing a question in the "Ask a Question" field on the virtual meeting website and clicking "Submit." There will be time for an open Q&A later. As noted in the meeting rules and procedures posted to the virtual meeting website, in order to conduct the meeting efficiently and ensure everyone that would like to ask a question has the opportunity, we will limit each shareholder to two questions. Are there any questions on the three items being voted on? Again, there will be time for general Q&A later. We will pause for a moment to allow for any additional questions to be submitted. Okay. As it appears the voting is complete, I will now close the polls at 10:04 A.M. I will now ask the Inspector of Election to read its preliminary report. Based on the preliminary tally of the inspector of election, votes entitled to be cast, each of the nominees of the board has been elected, the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company's independent public accountant has been ratified, and the compensation of the company's named executive officers has been approved. A final report containing the precise tally will be submitted to the secretary of the company for inclusion with the minutes. Thank you. Based on this preliminary tally and subject to the delivery of the inspector's final report, the 11 nominees have been elected to serve as directors until the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are elected and qualified. The audit committee selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company's independent public accountant for fiscal year 2025 has been ratified, and the compensation of the company's named executive officers has been approved. Now I will turn the meeting back over to Steve Sadove. Thanks, Harold. The secretary will file the report of the Inspector of Election with the records of the meeting. Those records may be reviewed by shareholders by contacting the company's secretary. We'll now allow time for general discussion and questions. As we did previously, any shareholder wishing to submit a question should type a question in the "Ask a Question" field on the web portal and click "Submit." There's a two-question limit per shareholder to allow us to answer as many questions as possible. Let's turn and see what questions we have. Okay. The first question we have is, why did the committee or the board make the decision to recommend appointment of Rick Dreiling to the board, considering that his time as CEO of Dollar Tree saw the value of Dollar Tree stock take a 50% nosedive? I'll address that. Rick is an. Rick Dreiling had been on the board of Aramark. He was a superb board member, really contributed enormously to the board, and he had obviously had a very illustrious career sitting on the Aramark board as well as other boards. He had made a decision to join the Dollar Tree Company as CEO when they were going through a number of some turmoil. He made a decision several months ago to resign from Dollar Tree for personal and health reasons, and we saw an opportunity to bring Rick back onto the Aramark board. He was being courted by a number of other boards as well. We have a wonderful, as a board, relationship. He knows the company extremely well. He added enormous value as a board member, and we thought as a board that it would be an opportunity and enormous value add to have Rick rejoin the board. We're very pleased with the decision, and obviously, shareholders supported that because he was reelected to the board as well. So we feel quite good about and fortunate that Rick was able to rejoin the board. So let's go to the next question. I think we have another one coming. We have two more. Oh, we have two more coming. Okay. I don't know what's happening. Having computer difficulty. Computer difficulty seeing them. Okay. Here I see the one who I just saw. Question came in, why was it necessary to pay our CEO an extra $5 million to cooperate in the succession planning process? Is that not part of any CEO's regular job? This is one where, and I'll also address that. The board and the compensation committee proactively made the recommendation, and the board approved for us to offer John Zillmer what I would call a retention package to help in the succession process over the next several years. As you may note, and by the way, this was approval of this when we got recommendations from Glass Lewis, ISS. They recommended approval of our compensation programs, and they were supportive of this. John has done a remarkable job in restoring the culture of Aramark, generating growth again. You can see the performance. The performance of the stock price over the last year has been extremely strong. But there are provisions within his own employment because of retirement provisions that we have that all of his equity would have vested, and that we wanted to make sure that he's a part of the team in the foreseeable future and help develop the next generation of potential CEOs. We didn't want to be in a situation where John's fully vested, and it wouldn't be, even though he's being compensated very appropriately. We wanted to make sure that he recognized that we wanted him to be staying and that we wanted him to be here for the next several years in that succession planning process. We thought it was an appropriate action, clearly supported by the agencies, as I said, ISS and Glass Lewis, and the shareholder vote approving our compensation program with overwhelming support also reflects the supportive nature of that. We have another question. I think that's it for the questions. Okay. Terrific. Well, that concludes our general Q&A session. I'll turn the meeting back to Harold to, I guess, close the meeting, or I'll close it. I think it's closed. Okay. Thank you. Well, thank you all for your attendance. We appreciate your support of the company. Thank you. Thank you, everybody.
