Morgan Partners (BHCA), L.P., CCMP Capital Investors II, L.P., Thomas H. Lee Equity Fund VI, L.P. and Warburg Pincus Private Equity IX, L.P. If the merger is completed, you will be entitled to receive $33.80 in cash, without interest, for each share of the Company’s common stock you own. You will be asked, at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, to vote to adopt the merger agreement. The board of directors (with Mr. Neubauer abstaining) has unanimously determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders (other than the directors and executive officers of the Company and stockholders who invest in RMK Acquisition Corporation or its parent, ARAMARK Holdings Corporation), and declared it advisable, to enter into the merger agreement and approved the execution, delivery and performance of the merger agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger. This determination was based, in large part, upon the unanimous recommendation of the special committee of the board of directors consisting of five independent and disinterested directors. The board of directors (with Mr. Neubauer abstaining) unanimously recommends that the Company’s stockholders vote “FOR” the adoption of the merger agreement. When you consider the recommendation of our board of directors to adopt the merger agreement, you should be aware that some of our directors and executive officers have interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally. The date, time and place of the special meeting to consider and vote upon the merger agreement will be as follows: December 20, 2006 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time Philadelphia Marriott Downtown 1201 Market Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania The proxy statement attached to this letter provides you with information about the proposed merger and the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders. We encourage you to read the entire proxy statement carefully. You may also obtain more information about the Company from documents we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Your vote is very important. The merger cannot be completed unless the merger agreement is adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of ARAMARK common stock entitled to vote on it and approved by a majority of the combined voting power of the shares that are voted at the meeting with each share of Class A common stock beneficially owned by Joseph Neubauer and members of the Company’s management committee having only one vote rather than the ten votes to which each such share is otherwise entitled. If you fail to vote on the merger agreement, the effect will be the same as a vote against the adoption of the merger agreement for purposes of the first vote referred to above. Source: ARAMARK CORP/DE, DEFM14A, November 20, 2006 Table of Contents Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, please vote your shares by internet, telephone or mail. If you receive more than one proxy card because you own shares that are registered differently, please vote all of your shares shown on all of your proxy cards. If you are a stockholder of record, voting by proxy will not prevent you from voting your shares in person if you subsequently choose to attend the special meeting. Thank you for your cooperation and continued support. Very truly yours, Ronald R. Davenport, Sr. Joseph Neubauer Chairman of the Special Committee Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities regulatory agency has approved or disapproved the merger, passed upon the merits or fairness of the merger or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the disclosure in this document. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. This proxy statement is dated November 20, 2006 and is first being mailed to stockholders on or about November 20, 2006.

To consider and vote on a proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 8, 2006 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “merger agreement”), among the Company, RMK Acquisition Corporation and RMK Finance LLC; 2. To approve the adjournment of the meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the meeting to adopt the merger agreement; and 3. To act upon other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of ARAMARK’s common stock at the close of business on November 3, 2006 are entitled to notice of the meeting and to vote at the meeting or at any adjournment thereof. All stockholders of record are cordially invited to attend the special meeting in person. A list of our stockholders will be available at our principal executive offices at 1101 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during ordinary business hours for ten days prior to the meeting. Your vote is important, regardless of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock you own. The approval of the transaction requires (1) adoption of the merger agreement by a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of ARAMARK common stock entitled to vote thereon and (2) the approval of a majority of the combined voting power of the shares of ARAMARK common stock that are voted at the meeting, with each share of Class A common stock beneficially owned by Joseph Neubauer and members of the Company’s management committee having only one vote rather than the ten votes to which each such share is otherwise entitled.

Even with the new Comcast Tower topping out at 975 feet, overall office occupancy still climbed to 89%, as the expansion of existing firms and several new arrivals downtown pushed Class A rents up 14%. For the first time in 15 years, Center City increased its share of regional office space. Healthcare and educational institutions continued to attract students, patients and research dollars to downtown, while elementary schools experienced strong demand from the growing number of families in Center City with children. The Pennsylvania Convention Center expansion commenced and plans advanced for new hotels, as occupancy and room rates steadily climbed. On Independence Mall, the National Museum of American Jewish History started construction, while the Barnes Foundation retained designers for a new home on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Housing prices remained strong, rents steadily climbed and rental vacancy rates dropped to 4.6%, as new residents continued to flock to Center City. While the average condo sold for $428,596, 115 units sold in 2007 for more than $1 million, double the number in 2006.

  • Eastern University Post-Graduation Report 2019 First Destination Survey : Traditional Undergraduate Baccalaureate Colleges
    EASTERN UNIVERSITY POST-GRADUATION REPORT 2019 FIRST DESTINATION SURVEY : TRADITIONAL UNDERGRADUATE BACCALAUREATE COLLEGES Eastern University Center for Career Development | www.eastern.edu/careers 2 TRADITIONAL UNDERGRADUATE BACCALAUREATE COLLEGES: Class of 2019 First Destination Survey ABOUT THE SURVEY The first destination survey provides an overview regarding the status of Eastern University Traditional Undergraduate Baccalaureate (TUB) alumni within six to nine months of graduation. For the purposes of this survey, “Class of 2019” is defined as a TUB student who graduated in August 2018, December 2018, or May 2019. The Center for Career Development gathered statistics using the professional guidelines set forth by NACE (National Association for Colleges and Employers). The First Destination Survey, created by Handshake using NACE guidelines, was distributed electronically to TUB alumni. Data were also gathered via paper surveys at May 2019 graduation rehearsal. Faculty members were contacted via email in early 2020 about graduates whose status remained unknown. Additionally, information on non-responders was captured from updated professional profiles on social media si tes (primarily LinkedIn) as well as employer webpages. Through this extensive process, we obtained an 86% knowledge rate of the Class of 2019. “Knowledge rate”, as defined by NACE, is the “percent of graduates for which an institution has reasonable and verifiable information concerning the graduates’ post -graduation career activities.” Our intention is to provide a summary of first destination highlights, as well as a specific breakdown by TUB Colleges for the Class of 2019. Submitted by Sarah Todd, M.Ed ’13, Director, Center for Career Development, 4/11/20 GENERAL SUMMARY 96% of the Class of 2019 survey respondents are employed, involved in post- graduate education, or serving in full-time volunteer work within 6-9 months of graduation.

In a matter of a few weeks, efforts by county politicians to ascend the color-coded tiers that allow successively wider open- ings of business and social sectors have been abandoned as rates of infections, deaths, and hospitalizations have sky- rocketed to unprecedented levels. In August OC’s Adjusted Daily Case Rate per 100,000 residents had dropped well below 7, allowing the County to ascend from the Widespread (Purple) Tier to the Red (Substantial) Tier of the State’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy, allowing more businesses to reopen. County officials were aspiring for that figure to drop below 4 that would move the County up to the even less restrictive Moderate (Orange) Tier.
