Insights

Routine director fee deferral into cash-settled phantom units.

Director Robert E. Coletti converted a portion of his cash retainer into 25.590 phantom stock units tied to Cintas common stock at $194.2800 per unit. This is recorded as a derivative award, lifting his phantom unit balance to 11,075.990 units.

The footnote clarifies these are bookkeeping entries, not actual shares, with no voting rights and cash-only settlement after board service ends. Because there is no open-market buying or selling and the grant size is modest relative to the company, the event appears routine and administrative in nature.

Subsequent filings may provide additional detail on future deferrals or changes in Coletti’s overall equity-linked compensation, but this specific transaction mainly reflects ongoing participation in the directors' deferred compensation plan rather than a discretionary market bet.
