This Amendment No. 5 (the “Final Amendment”) to Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this “Transaction Statement”), is being filed by ARAMARK Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Joseph Neubauer, GS Capital Partners V Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, J.P.

Item 15. Additional Information

Item 15(b) is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On December 20, 2006, at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, the Company’s stockholders voted to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 8, 2006, by and among the Company, RMK Acquisition Corporation (“MergerCo”) and RMK Finance LLC (“FinanceCo”).

On January 26, 2007, the Company filed a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which MergerCo was merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARAMARK Intermediate HoldCo Corporation (“HoldCo”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARAMARK Holdings Corporation (“Parent”). Generally, at the effective time of the Merger, (i) each outstanding share of common stock of the Company (other than shares held in the treasury of the Company or owned by MergerCo, FinanceCo, Parent, HoldCo, the Company or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MergerCo, FinanceCo, Parent, HoldCo or the Company and other than shares held by stockholders who were entitled to and properly exercised statutory appraisal rights in compliance with all of the required procedures under Delaware law) was automatically converted into the right to receive $33.80 in cash, without interest, and (ii) the separate corporate existence of MergerCo ceased.

As a result of the Merger, the registration of the Company’s common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, will be terminated upon application to the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the Company’s Class B common stock will no longer be listed on any exchange or quotation system, including the New York Stock Exchange.
