Basis Of Presentation	'
	BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
	On January 26, 2007, ARAMARK Holdings Corporation (the “Company” or “Holdings”), a Delaware corporation controlled by investment funds associated with GS Capital Partners, CCMP Capital Advisors, J.P. Morgan Partners, Thomas H. Lee Partners and Warburg Pincus LLC (collectively, the “Sponsors”), Joseph Neubauer, Chairman and former Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and certain other members of the Company’s management, acquired all of the outstanding shares of ARAMARK Corporation (“ARAMARK Corporation”) in a going-private transaction.
	On December 12, 2013, the Company began trading its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "ARMK" after its initial public offering ("IPO") of 28,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $20.00 per share (see Note 8).
	The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling financial interest is maintained. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The Company has an ownership interest in a subsidiary with a redeemable noncontrolling interest. The Company classifies redeemable noncontrolling interests outside of stockholders' equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in “Common Stock Subject to Repurchase and Other.” As of December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013, the redeemable noncontrolling interest was approximately $10.1 million and $10.2 million, respectively. For the three months ended December 27, 2013, net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest was $0.2 million. Distributions to redeemable noncontrolling interest was $0.3 million for the three months ended December 27, 2013. For the three months ended December 28, 2012, net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest was $0.2 million. Distributions to redeemable noncontrolling interest was $0.2 million for the three months ended December 28, 2012.
	The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes to those statements, included in the Company's prospectus, dated December 11, 2013, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, on December 12, 2013. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 27, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of the Company, the statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal, recurring nature, required for a fair presentation for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year, due to the seasonality of some of the Company’s business activities and the possibility of changes in general economic conditions.

	DIVESTITURES:
	Fiscal 2014
	McKinley Chalet Hotel
	On October 7, 2013, the Company completed the sale of its McKinley Chalet Hotel (the "Chalet") located in Denali National Park for approximately $24.0 million in cash. The transaction resulted in a pretax loss of approximately $6.7 million (net of tax loss of approximately $9.1 million), which is included in "Cost of services provided" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The pretax loss includes a write-off of an allocation of goodwill of approximately $12.8 million (see Note 5). The results of operations and cash flows associated with the Chalet divestiture were not material to the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows.
	Fiscal 2013
	Spin-off of Seamless Holdings Corporation
	On October 29, 2012, the Company completed the spin-off of its majority interest in Seamless North America, LLC ("Seamless") to its stockholders.
	In the spin-off, ARAMARK Corporation distributed all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Seamless Holdings Corporation (“Seamless Holdings”), an entity formed for the purpose of completing the spin-off and whose assets primarily consist of the Company's former interest in Seamless, to its parent company and sole stockholder, ARAMARK Intermediate. Thereafter, ARAMARK Intermediate distributed such shares to the Company, its parent company and sole stockholder, who then distributed all of the shares of Seamless Holdings on a pro rata basis to the holders of Holdings common stock as of October 26, 2012, the record date, through a tax-free stock dividend. Each Holdings stockholder received one share of Seamless Holdings common stock for each share of Holdings common stock held as of the record date.
	Until October 29, 2012, Seamless Holdings and its subsidiaries were part of the Company and its assets, liabilities, results of operations, and cash flows are included in the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements until that date. Following the spin-off, Seamless Holdings is an independent company and the Company retains no ownership interest in Seamless Holdings or Seamless. The Company's proforma results of operations for fiscal 2013 would not have been materially different than reported assuming the spin-off and related transactions had occurred at the beginning of the prior year period.

	GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
	Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized and is subject to an impairment test that the Company conducts annually or more frequently if a change in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicates that potential impairment exists, using discounted cash flows. Changes in total goodwill during the three months ended December 27, 2013 follow (in thousands):
	Segment	September 27, 2013		Acquisitions and Divestitures			Translation			27-Dec-13

	On December 20, 2012, ARAMARK Corporation amended the senior secured credit agreement ("Amendment Agreement No. 3") to, among other things, borrow $670 million of new term loans with a maturity date of July 26, 2016.  The proceeds of the new term loans were used primarily to repay approximately $650 million of existing term loans with a maturity date of January 26, 2014 and to fund certain discounts, fees and costs associated with the amendment.  The new term loans were borrowed by ARAMARK Corporation with an original issue discount of 0.25%. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, approximately $11.6 million of third-party costs directly attributable to the amendment were expensed and are included in “Interest and Other Financing Costs, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Derivative Instruments	'
	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:
	The Company enters into contractual derivative arrangements to manage changes in market conditions related to interest on debt obligations, foreign currency exposures and exposure to fluctuating gasoline and diesel fuel prices. Derivative instruments utilized during the period include interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency forward exchange contracts, and gasoline and diesel fuel agreements. All derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each quarter. The counterparties to the Company’s contractual derivative agreements are all major international financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The Company continually monitors its positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties, and does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties. For designated hedging relationships, the Company formally documents the hedging relationship and its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively, and a description of the method of measuring ineffectiveness. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting cash flows of hedged items.
	Cash Flow Hedges
	The Company previously entered into $2.3 billion notional amount of interest rate swap agreements, fixing the rate on a like amount of variable rate borrowings. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company entered into $600 million notional amount of forward starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge the cash flow risk of variability in interest rate payments on a like amount of variable rate borrowings. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as and meets all the required criteria for a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. As of December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013, approximately ($14.7) million and ($20.5) million of unrealized net of tax losses related to the interest rate swaps were included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss,” respectively. The hedge ineffectiveness for these cash flow hedging instruments during the three months ended December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012 was not material.
	The Company also previously entered into a $158.1 million amortizing cross currency swap to mitigate the risk of variability in principal and interest payments on the Canadian subsidiary’s variable rate debt denominated in U.S. dollars. The agreement fixes the rate on the variable rate borrowings and mitigates changes in the Canadian dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate. During the three months ended December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012, approximately $2.8 million and $0.6 million of unrealized net of tax gains (losses) related to the swap were added to “Accumulated other comprehensive loss,” respectively. Approximately ($2.9) million and ($2.0) million were reclassified to offset net translation gains (losses) on the foreign currency denominated debt during the three months ended December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012, respectively. As of December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013, unrealized net of tax losses of approximately ($4.9) million and ($3.5) million related to the cross currency swap were included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss,” respectively. There was no hedge ineffectiveness for the three months ended December 27, 2013. The hedge ineffectiveness for this cash flow hedging instrument during the three months ended December 28, 2012 was not material. As a result of Amendment Agreement No. 3, the Company de-designated the cross currency swaps that hedged the Canadian subsidiary's term loan with a maturity date of January 26, 2014. Prior to Amendment Agreement No. 3, these contracts met the required criteria to be designated as cash flow hedging instruments. As a result, approximately $3.2 million was reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to “Interest and Other Financing Costs, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the three months ended December 28, 2012.
	The following table summarizes the net of tax effect of our derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments on Comprehensive Income (in thousands):

	Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships
	In fiscal 2013, the Company elected to de-designate the cross currency swaps that were hedged against the Canadian subsidiary's term loan with a maturity date of January 26, 2014 due to the repayment of the term loan as a result of Amendment Agreement No. 3. As a result, on a prospective basis, changes in the fair value of these swaps will be recorded in earnings. For the three months ended December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012, the Company recorded a pretax gain (loss) of approximately $2.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for the change in the fair value of these swaps in “Interest and Other Financing Costs, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The changes in the fair value of these swaps are expected to offset future currency transaction gains and losses on the U.S. dollar denominated intercompany loan between the Company and its Canadian subsidiary.
	The Company entered into a series of pay fixed/receive floating gasoline and diesel fuel agreements based on the Department of Energy weekly retail on-highway index in order to limit its exposure to price fluctuations for gasoline and diesel fuel. As of December 27, 2013, the Company has contracts for approximately 2.1 million gallons outstanding for fiscal 2014. The Company does not record its gasoline and diesel fuel agreements as hedges for accounting purposes. As such, changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in earnings. The impact on earnings related to the change in fair value of these contracts for the three months ended December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012 was not material.
	As of December 27, 2013, the Company had foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding with notional amounts of €85.2 million and £36.5 million to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on intercompany loans to certain international subsidiaries. Gains and losses on these foreign currency exchange contracts are recognized in income currently as the contracts were not designated as hedging instruments, substantially offsetting currency transaction gains and losses on the intercompany loans.
	The Company's interest rate swap agreements are subject to master netting arrangements, which serve as credit mitigants to both the Company and its counterparties under certain situations. The Company presents the net asset or liability position of its derivative fair values on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.The following table summarizes the location and fair value, using Level 2 inputs, of the Company’s derivatives designated and not designated as hedging instruments in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands):

	CAPITAL STOCK:
	On December 17, 2013, the Company completed the IPO of 28,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $20.00 per share, raising approximately $524.1 million, net of costs directly related to the IPO. GS Capital Partners and J.P. Morgan Partners received approximately $6.5 million and $6.5 million, respectively, of underwriters' discounts relating to the shares sold by the Company which were included in the costs directly related to the IPO. The Company used the net proceeds to repay borrowings on the senior secured revolving credit facility and a portion of the principal on the senior secured term loan facility, due July 2016 (see Note 6). In addition, the Company paid cash bonuses and certain other expenses of approximately $5.0 million related to the IPO, which were included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
	Prior to the IPO, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement of the Company, upon termination of employment from the Company or one of its subsidiaries, members of the Company’s management (other than Mr. Neubauer) who held shares of common stock could have caused the Company to repurchase all of their initial investment shares (as defined) or shares acquired as a result of the exercise of Installment Stock Purchase Opportunities at appraised fair market value. Generally, payment for shares repurchased could have been, at the Company’s option, in cash or installment notes, which would be effectively subordinated to all indebtedness of the Company. The amount of this potential repurchase obligation had been classified outside of stockholders' equity. With the completion of the IPO, this provision was terminated. The amount of common stock subject to repurchase as of December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013 was $0 and $158.7 million, respectively.

	SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION:
	On November 12, 2013, the Board of Directors (the "Board") approved, and the stockholders of Holdings adopted by written consent, the ARAMARK Holdings Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Stock Plan”), which became effective on December 1, 2013. The 2013 Stock Plan provides that the total number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2013 Stock Plan is 25,500,000. In connection with the adoption of the 2013 Stock Plan, the Board approved, and the stockholders of Holdings adopted by written consent, the Fifth Amended and Restated ARAMARK Holdings Corporation 2007 Management Stock Incentive Plan (the “Fifth Amended Stock Plan”) which amended certain terms of the 2007 Management Stock Incentive Plan ("2007 MSIP") in contemplation of the initial public offering of Holdings, including providing that no awards will be granted under the Fifth Amended Stock Plan shortly following the consummation of an initial public offering, as it is intended that grants following the initial public offering will be made under the 2013 Stock Plan.
	During the three months ended December 27, 2013, share-based compensation expense was approximately $45.4 million, before taxes of $17.7 million. During the three months ended December 28, 2012, share-based compensation expense was approximately $4.0 million, before taxes of $1.6 million.
	Stock Options
	Time-Based Options
	The Company granted 1.9 million time-based options with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $6.65 during the three months ended December 27, 2013. The compensation cost charged to expense during the three months ended December 27, 2013 for time-based options was approximately $3.2 million. The compensation cost charged to expense during the three months ended December 28, 2012 for time-based options was approximately $1.9 million.
	Performance-Based Options
	On November 11, 2013, the Compensation Committee approved an amendment to all outstanding 2007 MSIP Option Agreements (the “Performance Option Amendment”) modifying the vesting provisions relating to outstanding performance-based options granted under the 2007 MSIP. The Performance Option Amendment provides that in the event of an initial public offering of Holdings, subject to continued employment on such date, 50% of any then-unvested performance-based options that did not meet applicable performance thresholds in prior years (the “Missed Year Options”) will become vested if the initial public offering price for the common stock of Holdings equals or exceeds $20.00 per share. In addition, during the 18 month period following the initial public offering, if the closing trading price for common stock of Holdings equals or exceeds $25.00 per share over any consecutive twenty day trading period, 100% of the Missed Year Options will become vested. There are a total of approximately 5.1 million Missed Year Options. The fair values of the Missed Year Options were valued at the award modification date using a Monte-Carlo option model, which simulates a range of possible future stock prices and estimates the probabilities of meeting the modified vesting provision of the trading price for the common stock of Holdings equaling or exceeding $25.00 per share over any consecutive twenty day trading period during the 18 month period following the initial public offering. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of the Missed Year Options: estimated volatility (30%), expected dividend yield (1.5%), expected life (3-8 years) and risk-free rate (0.66%-2.63%). The weighted-average fair value of the Missed Year Options modified on November 11, 2013 was $10.19 per option.
	During the three months ended December 27, 2013, approximately $39.1 million was charged to expense for performance-based options, including $36.9 million related to the Missed Year Options that were modified. As of December 27, 2013, there was approximately $15.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the Missed Year Options, which will be recgonized over the remainder of fiscal 2014. During the three months ended December 28, 2012, approximately $1.3 million was charged to expense for performance-based options.
	Installment Stock Purchase Opportunities (“ISPOs”)
	The Company recorded approximately $0.7 million of compensation expense related to ISPOs and the exchanged restricted stock and non-qualified stock options during the three months ended December 27, 2013. The Company recorded approximately $0.4 million of compensation expense related to ISPOs during the three months ended December 28, 2012.
	Time-Based Restricted Stock Units
	The Restricted Stock Unit Agreement provides for grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), 25% of which will vest and be settled in shares on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to the participant’s continued employment with the Company through each such anniversary. The grant-date fair value of RSUs is based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock. Participants holding RSUs will receive the benefit of any dividends paid on shares in the form of additional restricted stock units. The unvested units are subject to forfeiture if employment is terminated other than due to death, disability or retirement, and the units are nontransferable while subject to forfeiture.
	The Company granted 2,048,785 RSUs during the three months ended December 27, 2013 at a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $20.45. Compensation expense for RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period during which employees perform related services. The compensation cost charged to expense during the three months ended December 27, 2013 for RSUs was approximately $2.3 million.
	Performance Stock Units
	Under the 2013 Stock Plan, the Company is authorized to grant Performance Stock Units ("PSUs") to its employees. A participant is eligible to become vested in a number of PSUs equal to a percentage, higher or lower, of the target number of PSUs granted based on the level of the Company’s achievement of performance conditions. The first 33% of the award will vest if and when the Company achieves these performance conditions while the remaining 67% will generally vest ratably over the next two anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to the achievement of the performance condition in the first year of grant and the participant's continued employment with the Company through each such anniversary. The grant-date fair value of the PSUs is based on the fair value of the Company's common stock. On December 20, 2013, the Company granted 466,763 PSUs with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $23.92 with performance conditions based upon the achievement of a level of earnings per share.
	Deferred Stock Units
	The Company granted 6,318 deferred stock units during the three months ended December 27, 2013. The compensation cost charged to expense during the three months ended December 27, 2013 was approximately $0.1 million. The Company granted 17,066 deferred stock units during the three months ended December 28, 2012. The compensation cost charged to expense during the three months ended December 28, 2012 for deferred stock units was approximately $0.2 million.

	The Company has an agreement (the "Receivables Facility") with several financial institutions whereby it sells on a continuous basis an undivided interest in all eligible trade accounts receivable, as defined in the Receivables Facility. The maximum amount available under the facility is $300 million, which expires in January 2015. Pursuant to the Receivables Facility, the Company formed ARAMARK Receivables, LLC, a wholly-owned, consolidated, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. ARAMARK Receivables, LLC was formed for the sole purpose of buying and selling receivables generated by certain subsidiaries of the Company. Under the Receivables Facility, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries transfer without recourse all of their accounts receivable to ARAMARK Receivables, LLC. As collections reduce previously transferred interests, interests in new, eligible receivables are transferred to ARAMARK Receivables, LLC, subject to meeting certain conditions. At December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013, the amount of outstanding borrowings under the Receivables Facility was $300.0 million and $300.0 million and is included in “Long-Term Borrowings”, respectively.

	In the first and second fiscal quarters, within the FSS North America segment, historically there has been a lower level of activity at the sports, entertainment and recreational food service operations that is partly offset by increased activity in the educational operations. However, in the third and fourth fiscal quarters, historically there has been a significant increase at sports, entertainment and recreational accounts that is partially offset by the effect of summer recess on the educational accounts.
	FSS North America operating income for the three months ended December 27, 2013 includes a favorable risk insurance adjustment of $3.0 million related to favorable claims experience offset by the pretax loss of approximately $6.7 million on the Chalet divestiture (see Note 2). FSS North America sales and operating income for the three months ended December 28, 2012 were negatively affected by Hurricane Sandy and the National Hockey League lockout.

New Accounting Standard Updates	'
	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD UPDATES:
	In December 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update (“ASU”) that requires companies with financial instruments and derivative instruments that are offset on the balance sheet or subject to a master netting arrangement to provide additional disclosures regarding the instruments impact on a company’s financial position. In January 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to clarify the scope of this ASU. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which requires companies to disclose information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). Companies also are required to present reclassifications by component when reporting changes in AOCI balances. For significant items reclassified out of AOCI to net income in their entirety in the period, companies must report the effect of the reclassifications on the respective line items in the statement where net income is presented. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In January 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which states that companies should not account for certain service concession arrangements with public-sector entities as leases and should not recognize the related infrastructure as property, plant and equipment. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.

	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
	Certain of the Company’s lease arrangements, primarily vehicle leases, with terms of one to eight years, contain provisions related to residual value guarantees. The maximum potential liability to the Company under such arrangements was approximately $117.4 million at December 27, 2013 if the terminal fair value of vehicles coming off lease was zero. Consistent with past experience, management does not expect any significant payments will be required pursuant to these arrangements. No amounts have been accrued for guarantee arrangements at December 27, 2013.
	From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are a party to various legal actions and investigations involving claims incidental to the conduct of its business, including actions by clients, customers, employees, government entities and third parties, including under federal, state, international, national, provincial and local employment laws, wage and hour laws, discrimination laws, immigration laws, human health and safety laws, import and export controls and customs laws, environmental laws, false claims or whistleblower statutes, minority, women and disadvantaged business enterprise statutes, tax codes, antitrust and competition laws, consumer protection statutes, procurement regulations, intellectual property laws, food safety and sanitation laws, cost and accounting principles, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, other anti-corruption laws, lobbying laws, motor carrier safety laws, data privacy laws and alcohol licensing and service laws, or alleging negligence and/or breaches of contractual and other obligations. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, available insurance coverage, established reserves and other resources, the Company does not believe that any such actions are likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, in the event of unexpected further developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Of Assets And Liabilities	'
	FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES:
	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are classified based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The hierarchical levels related to the subjectivity of the valuation inputs are defined as follows:
	•	Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets
	•	Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument
	•    Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement
	Recurring Fair Value Measurements
	The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, borrowings and derivatives. Management believes that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values. In conjunction with the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative instruments, that are subject to master netting agreements, on a net basis by counterparty portfolio. The fair value of the Company’s debt at December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013 was $5,715.9 million and $5,854.9 million, respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s debt at December 27, 2013 and September 27, 2013 was $5,644.7 million and $5,824.1 million, respectively. The fair values were computed using market quotes, if available, or based on discounted cash flows using market interest rates as of the end of the respective periods. The inputs utilized in estimating the fair value of the Company's debt has been classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy levels.
	During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company's obligation to repurchase shares was eliminated (see Note 8). The following table presents the changes in the Company's common stock subject to repurchase, a level 3 measurement, for the three months ended December 27, 2013 (in thousands):
