NOTICE of 2018 ANNUAL MEETING of SHAREHOLDERS and PROXY STATEMENT 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders NOTICE OF 2018 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS AND PROXY STATEMENT 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders Wednesday, January 31, 2018 at 10:00 am (Eastern Standard Time) Philadelphia Marriott Downtown 1201 Market Street Philadelphia, PA 19107 DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS: Every day at Aramark, we focus on delivering excellence to the customers, consumers and communities we are privileged to serve across the globe. Our mission to Enrich and Nourish Lives is carried out daily by our associates who are committed to dreaming and doing – never losing sight of the importance of delighting people wherever they learn, work, play and recover. I am pleased to report that 2017 was another successful year as we made further strides on our transformative journey while delivering strong results – led by a double-digit increase in adjusted earnings per share for the fourth consecutive year. Our performance was driven by maintaining a clear-eyed focus on our winning strategy: Š Accelerating Growth Š Activating Productivity Š Attracting Talent Š Achieving Portfolio Optimization At Aramark, everything begins with the principle that the ‘Consumer Sets the Table,’ meaning that we must understand, anticipate and meet their needs centered on: Quality – providing products featuring superior ingredients that are sourced and prepared the right way Health & Wellness – developing a variety of items that are fresh and good for you, Eric J. Foss led by our groundbreaking Healthy for Life partnership with the American Heart Chairman, President and Association Chief Executive Officer Convenience – capitalizing on technology to enable speed of service that fits within today’s busy and fast-paced schedules Personalization – tailoring and customizing our offerings to be relevant to individual tastes and preferences We also continued our progress in building a sound corporate governance structure that is the foundation of financial integrity, shareholder transparency and sustainable results. Our commitment to solicit shareholder feedback ensures ongoing dialogue that results in adopting best practices and continuous improvement. Our outreach efforts this year included approaching shareholders representing over two-thirds of our stock ownership and led to several important actions: • Implementing proxy access by-laws • Adding return on invested capital as a performance metric for our long-term performance awards • Increasing the weighting of performance awards In addition, we advanced in the areas of Board composition and diversity, as well as in compensation practices. We remain committed to evolving our governance structure as our company, the industry and our shareholder base evolve. You can rely on our vigilance around accountability, transparency and open dialogue with shareholders as a hallmark of our governance practices. Finally, we announced two strategic, financially compelling transactions that will drive meaningful growth and enhance our competitive position across our portfolio. We have acquired Avendra, the leading hospitality procurement service provider in North America that manages nearly $5 billion in annual purchasing spend. We also entered into an agreement to acquire AmeriPride, one of the largest uniform rental and linen supply companies in North America. These transactions meet our objective to enhance scale and capability in our core business, and represent the next step in our commitment to creating sustainable value for our shareholders. We look forward to welcoming the hard working team members of Avendra and AmeriPride to the Aramark family. Looking forward, I remain confident in the outlook for our company. Thank you for your investment in Aramark and your ongoing interest. Our success is fueled by your confidence in us, and we count on your support to enable our future success. I am pleased to invite you to attend Aramark’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders on Wednesday, January 31, 2018, at 10:00 am/EST at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown (1201 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107).

    Case 2:19-cv-01480-WB Document 50 Filed 03/29/21 Page 1 of 44 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA PAUL NGAI AND XIAOYAN NGAI, CIVIL ACTION Plaintiff, v. URBAN OUTFITTERS, INC., LORIE A. NO. 19-1480 KERNECKEL, BARBARA ROZASAS, JOHN DOES 1 THROUGH 10 AND ABC CORPORATIONS 1-10, Defendants. MEMORANDUM OPINION Defendants Urban Outfitters, Inc. (“Urban”), Lorie A. Kerneckel, and Barbara Rozsas (collectively, Defendants) move for summary judgment on Paul Ngai (“Plaintiff” or “Ngai”) and Xiaoyan Ngai’s (together, “Plaintiffs”) claims for national origin and age discrimination, retaliation, and hostile work environment in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Pennsylvania Human Rights Act (PHRA), and the Philadelphia Fair Practices Ordinance (PFPO), aiding and abetting discrimination in violation of the PHRA and PFPO, whistleblower retaliation in violation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, violation of the Pennsylvania Wage Payment and Collection Law (WPCL), and common law intentional infliction of emotional distress (IIED) and loss of consortium.1 In turn, Plaintiffs move for partial summary judgment with respect to Defendants’ affirmative defense that Ngai failed to mitigate damages. For the reasons that follow, Defendants’ motion will be granted in part and denied in part and Plaintiffs’ motion will be denied. 1 Plaintiff abandons his gender-based claims of discrimination, retaliation, and hostile work environment, common law wrongful discharge, and whistleblower retaliation under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in his summary judgment briefing. These claims will therefore be dismissed.

    Unisys Corporation Unisys Way Blue Bell, PA 19424-0001 March 18, 2004 Dear Fellow Stockholder: It is my pleasure to invite you to the Unisys 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This year's meeting will be held on Thursday, April 22, 2004, at The Hilton Inn at Penn, which is located at 3600 Sansom Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m. Unisys delivered strong results in 2003. We achieved double-digit growth in our earnings and generated substantial cash Öow from operations. We have now steadily grown our earnings and operational cash Öow for three consecutive years in the midst of a highly volatile period for the information technology industry. We are proud of this record of Ñnancial consistency and the focus and execution that Unisys people are showing in the marketplace. Whether or not you plan to attend the annual meeting, I urge you to take a moment to vote on the items in this year's proxy statement. Most stockholders have a choice of voting their shares over the Internet, by telephone, or by completing, signing, and returning a proxy card. Voting by any of these means takes only a few minutes, and it will ensure that your shares are represented at the meeting. If you vote over the Internet, you will also be given the opportunity to access future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet instead of receiving paper copies in the mail. Electronic access saves the company the cost of producing and mailing these documents. I encourage you to take advantage of it.
