ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS

On September 22, 2004, ARAMARK Corporation (the “Company”) announced that William Leonard had stepped down as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and had resigned as a member of the Board of Directors and all committees of which he was a member, in each case, effective immediately. In connection with the resignation of Mr. Leonard, the Company’s Board of Directors reduced the number of directors comprising the Company’s Board of Directors from twelve to eleven. The departure of Mr. Leonard will result in a one-time charge that will reduce the Company’s fourth quarter earnings by approximately $6 million, after tax.

Joseph Neubauer, 62, the Company’s Executive Chairman, has been elected Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, a position he held from 1984 to 2003. The Company expects to enter into an amended employment agreement with Mr. Neubauer, the terms of which are currently under discussion between the Board and Mr. Neubauer. Upon finalization of the amendment, the Company will file an amendment to this Form 8-K describing the material terms of such agreement. For further information regarding Mr. Neubauer and his relationship with the Company, please refer to the Company’s Proxy Statement dated December 29, 2003.

ITEM 5.03 AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGES IN FISCAL YEAR

On September 21, 2004, in connection with the resignation of Mr. Leonard as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Company’s Board Directors, the Board amended the Company’s bylaws. The bylaw amendments reflect that Mr. Neubauer now serves in the dual-capacities of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The bylaw amendments are effective immediately.
