Context

• Director grants of deferred stock units are a common form of compensation and do not indicate an immediate cash investment or a sale. The economic value to Creed will depend on Aramark’s stock price when the units are settled (upon the specified post-departure settlement date). For retail investors, purchases by insiders typically carry more informational weight than routine compensation awards like this one.
