US Stock IR Daily – June 12, 2026 (2 reports)

• On March 10, 2026, Cintas Corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with UniFirst Corporation.
• On June 11, 2026, Cintas and UniFirst each received a request for additional information (the “Second Request”) from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) concerning the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
• The issuance of the Second Request extends the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (HSR Act) until 30 days after both Cintas and UniFirst substantially comply with the request.
• On June 12, 2026, UniFirst announced that its shareholders voted to approve the pending acquisition by Cintas at UniFirst’s Special Meeting of Shareholders.
• Cintas continues to expect that the Mergers will close in the second half of calendar 2026.

Cintas’s receipt of a Second Request from the FTC for its UniFirst acquisition indicates ongoing antitrust scrutiny, which will extend the HSR Act waiting period. While this suggests a more in-depth review, both companies are cooperating with the FTC. The approval by UniFirst shareholders is a key milestone, and Cintas’s reaffirmed expectation for a H2 2026 closing suggests confidence in proceeding despite the extended regulatory process.
