Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) This statement is being filed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. ("GS Group") and Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("Goldman Sachs," and together with GS Group, the "Reporting Persons"). Goldman Sachs is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GS Group.
(2) The shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Aramark (the "Company") reported herein as indirectly purchased and sold were beneficially owned directly by Goldman Sachs and indirectly by GS Group. Without admitting any legal obligation, Goldman Sachs or another wholly-owned subsidiary of GS Group will remit appropriate profits, if any, to the Company.
(3) Reflects a weighted average purchase price of $31.2789 per share, at prices ranging from $31.2100 to $31.3100 per share. The Reporting Person will provide, upon request by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Issuer, or a security holder of the Issuer, full information regarding the number of shares purchased at each separate price.
(4) Reflects a weighted average sale price of $30.8763 per share, at prices ranging from $30.7200 to $30.9650 per share. The Reporting Person will provide, upon request by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Issuer, or a security holder of the Issuer, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price.
(5) GS Group may be deemed to beneficially own 10,229.0527 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the ARAMARK Holdings Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, consisting of 10,159 deferred stock units (the "Deferred Shares") and 70.0527 dividend equivalent rights to Deferred Shares, granted to Sanjeev K. Mehra, a managing director of Goldman Sachs, in his capacity as a director of the Company. The dividend equivalent rights vest on the same schedules as the underlying Deferred Shares. The Deferred Shares will vest on the day prior to the first annual stockholders' meeting of the Company occurring after the grant date, subject to continued service, and, if vested, will be settled in shares of Common Stock on the first day of the seventh month after the date of the Reporting Person's departure from the board. Mr. Mehra has an understanding with GS Group pursuant to which he holds such shares for the benefit of GS Group.
(6) Goldman Sachs and GS Group may be deemed to beneficially own indirectly, in the aggregate, 26,532,760 shares of Common Stock by reason of the direct beneficial ownership of such shares by certain investment partnerships (the "Funds") because affiliates of Goldman Sachs and GS Group are the general partner, managing general partner, managing partner, managing member or member of the Funds. Goldman Sachs is the investment manager of certain of the Funds.
(7) Each of the Reporting Persons and Mr. Mehra disclaim beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock in excess of their pecuniary interest, if any, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that any such entity or individual, as applicable, is the beneficial owner of, or has any pecuniary interest in, such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.
