The company will use the proceeds from the transaction toward debt repayment.
AIM Services was established as a joint venture between Aramark and Mitsui Group companies in 1976 to provide food services to clients across various business sectors in Japan.
“Monetizing this non-controlling interest will enhance operating focus, strengthen our balance sheet through accelerated debt repayment, and will be accretive to earnings per share,” said John Zillmer, Aramark's CEO.
The transaction is anticipated to close at the beginning of Aramark's Q3.
