Current report
The completion of the Mergers (as defined in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) is subject to a number of conditions, including, among others, (i) the approval by UniFirst shareholders of the UniFirst merger proposal, which such shareholder approval was obtained at a virtual special meeting of the shareholders of UniFirst on June 11, 2026, and (ii) certain regulatory approvals, including the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), which make the completion and timing of the Mergers uncertain. On June 11, 2026, each of Cintas and UniFirst received a request for additional information and documentary material (the “Second Request”) from the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) in connection with the FTC’s review of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Issuance of the Second Request extends the waiting period under the HSR Act until 30 days after both Cintas and the Company substantially comply with the Second Request, unless the waiting period is extended voluntarily by Cintas and the Company or terminated earlier by the FTC. Cintas and UniFirst have been working cooperatively with the FTC and will continue to do so.

Also, either Cintas or UniFirst may terminate the Merger Agreement (as defined in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) if the Mergers have not been consummated on or before 5:00 p.m. (New York, New York, Untied States time) on January 10, 2027 (or, in certain circumstances, as such date may be extended to May 10, 2027 or September 10, 2027 pursuant to the Merger Agreement), except that this right to terminate the Merger Agreement is not available to any party that has materially breached any of its obligations under the Merger Agreement if such breach has been the principal cause of or principally resulted in the failure of the closing to have occurred on or before such date.

Previous wording
These variations could result from changes in the business, operations or prospects of Cintas or UniFirst prior to or after the completion of the Mergers, regulatory considerations, general market and economic conditions and other factors both within and beyond the control of Cintas or UniFirst. At the time of the special meeting, UniFirst shareholders will not know with certainty the value of the shares of Cintas common stock that they will receive upon completion of the Mergers. Neither Cintas nor UniFirst is permitted to terminate the Merger Agreement solely because of changes in the market price of either company’s common stock.
