Cintas And UniFirst Receive FTC Requests For More Information Regarding Merger; HSR Act Waiting Period Extended 30 Days; UNF Shareholders Approve Merger At Special Meeting

On June 11, 2026, each of Cintas and UniFirst received a request for additional information (the "Second Request") from the U.S. 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 UniFirst substantially comply with the Second Request, unless the waiting period is extended voluntarily by Cintas and UniFirst or terminated earlier by the FTC. Cintas and UniFirst have been working cooperatively with the FTC and will continue to do so.

On June 12, 2026, UniFirst announced that at UniFirst's Special Meeting of Shareholders, UniFirst's shareholders voted to approve the pending acquisition by Cintas. Cintas continues to expect that the Mergers will close in the second half of calendar 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions and receipt of certain regulatory approvals.
