Vestis Completes Spin-Off from Aramark

Vestis begins trading today on the NYSE under ticker “VSTS”

Significant opportunity for growth as a leader in uniforms and workplace supplies

ATLANTA, GA, October 2, 2023 – Vestis (NYSE: VSTS), a leading provider of uniforms and workplace supplies, has completed its previously announced, spin-off from Aramark (NYSE: ARMK). Vestis will begin trading today on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “VSTS,” effective at the market opening.

“Today marks an exciting, new chapter for Vestis as a standalone, public company. Our outstanding management team has established a clear pathway to value creation and our ~20,000 amazing teammates are rallied around our purpose to empower people to do good work and good things for others while at work,” said Vestis President and Chief Executive Officer Kim Scott. “Vestis is well-positioned to deliver against our long-term financial commitments and we are looking forward to creating value for our customers, teammates, and shareholders in the years ahead.”

Vestis is the second largest provider in the industry and launches with over 300,000 customer locations and approximately 20,000 employees across North America. The Company’s comprehensive service offering includes uniforms and workwear, floor care (mats), towels, aprons, linen services, managed restroom supply services, and first aid and safety products.

Effective as of September 30, 2023, Aramark common stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 20, 2023 (the “Record Date”), received one share of Vestis common stock for every two shares of Aramark common stock held as of the Record Date. Aramark common stockholders who held Aramark common stock as of the Record Date will receive a book-entry account statement reflecting their ownership of Vestis common stock or their brokerage account will be credited with Vestis shares. Because September 30, 2023, was a Saturday and not a business day, the shares are expected to be credited to “street name” stockholders through the Depository Trust Corporation (DTC) today. The distribution is intended to be tax-free to Aramark stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares of Vestis common stock.
