Regulatory timetable remains central
Cintas and UniFirst certified substantial compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's additional information request on October 2, according to the company's Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 6. The companies also completed their response to a supplementary information request from Canada's Competition Bureau on September 29.
The FTC timing agreement bars completion before December 11 unless the agency provides written notice that it has closed its investigation. Cintas continues to expect the merger to close before the end of calendar year 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions.

The filing cautions that the transaction may close later than expected or not close at all if required conditions are not satisfied. It also identifies integration costs, management attention, possible dilution from newly issued Cintas shares and delays in realizing expected transaction benefits as risks for investors.
