Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information provided in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On June 30, 2005, G&K Services, Inc. (the “Company”), issued $75 million of floating rate unsecured senior notes (the “Notes”) via a private placement transaction pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement. The Notes are priced at 0.60% over LIBOR. The $75 million floating rate notes are scheduled to mature on June 30, 2015. There are no principal payments due on the Notes until maturity. Interest payments are reset and paid on a quarterly basis.

The Note Purchase Agreement includes covenants, representations, warranties, and indemnities all of which are customary for this type of debt. The maturity date for the Notes may be accelerated upon the occurrence of various Events of Default, including breaches of the agreement, bankruptcy, and other customary events of default for debt of this type. The Notes contain covenants consistent with the Company’s existing debt arrangements. The Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes are currently guaranteed by its subsidiaries as defined by the Note Purchase Agreement.

The Company entered into this transaction as part of its capital structure objectives. The transaction will provide greater financial flexibility and debt capacity to pursue revenue growth initiatives and acquisition opportunities and will also lower the Company’s overall borrowing costs.
