AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Aramark (ARMK)

Aramark grants $3 million retention RSUs each to two operating chief officers

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 leadership Written later

Aramark's Compensation Committee approved special restricted stock unit grants worth $3,000,000 each to Chief Operating Officer Marc Bruno (U.S. Food and Facilities) and Chief Operating Officer, International Carl Mittleman, effective February 19, 2026 for Bruno. The RSUs vest on the earlier of a third anniversary of grant or six months after a permanent successor CEO starts, which signals the company is tying these executives to the leadership transition.

Key points

  • Special RSU grant to Marc Bruno with grant date fair value of $3,000,000, effective February 19, 2026
  • Special RSU grant to Carl Mittleman with grant date fair value of $3,000,000, same terms as Bruno's
  • Vesting: earlier of third anniversary of grant or six months after a permanent successor CEO begins work
  • Both grants approved February 17, 2026; accelerated vesting applies on certain qualifying terminations
