The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the\nHart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), (i) Merger Sub Inc. will be merged with and into the Company (the “First Merger”), whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub Inc. will cease, and the\nCompany will continue as the surviving corporation of the First Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Cintas and (ii) immediately after the First Merger, the Company will be merged with and into Merger Sub LLC (the “Second Merger,”\nand, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), whereupon the separate existence of the Company will cease, and Merger Sub LLC will continue as the surviving entity of the Second Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Cintas.\n\nOn June 11, 2026, each of Cintas and the Company received a request for additional information (the “Second Request”) from the FTC in\nconnection 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\nwith the Second Request, unless the waiting period is extended voluntarily by Cintas and the Company or terminated earlier by the FTC. Cintas and the Company have been working cooperatively with the FTC and will continue to do so. The\nCompany continues to expect that the Mergers will close in the second half of calendar 2026, subject to satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions and receipt of certain regulatory approvals."}
