UniFirst Corporation entered into a definitive merger agreement to be acquired by Cintas Corporation. Under the agreement, each share of UniFirst common stock will convert into $155 in cash plus 0.7720 shares of Cintas common stock at the First Effective Time. The transaction requires approval by holders of two‑thirds of UniFirst’s combined voting power and customary regulatory clearances, and includes mutual termination fee arrangements of $213.3 million (payable by UniFirst in certain circumstances) and $350 million (payable by Cintas in certain circumstances).

Cintas Corporation director Karen L. Carnahan reported acquiring 148.39 phantom stock units on January 20, 2026 under the company’s Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan. Each phantom unit is valued like one share of Cintas common stock but is not an actual share and carries no voting rights.
The units were credited at a reference price of $193.74 per unit, increasing her total phantom stock unit balance to 6,486.62 units, held directly. These phantom stock units represent deferred cash retainer fees and will be paid out only in cash after she terminates service as a director.

On 01/20/2026, she acquired 164.52 phantom stock units at a reference value of $193.74 per unit, bringing her total reported holdings to 4,383.23 phantom stock units.
These phantom stock units are created when the director elects to defer a portion of cash retainer fees under the Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan.

The filing explains that these Phantom Stock Units track the value of one share of Cintas common stock each but are not actual shares, carry no voting rights, and represent deferred cash compensation. They are payable only in cash after Coletti’s service as a director ends, so this reflects compensation deferral rather than an open-market stock purchase or sale.
