Consequently, Cintas’ shares are expected to commence trading on a post-split basis at the market open on Thursday, September 12, 2024. Notably, this marks the first stock split for Cintas since 2000.

Todd Schneider, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cintas, emphasized the company’s core values and its founder Dick Farmer’s belief in the importance of employee ownership. Schneider highlighted Cintas’ recent successes, with shares trading near record highs due to the company’s unwavering dedication to customer service. The decision to split the stock aims to enhance accessibility for both employee-partners and investors, enabling them to participate in Cintas’ future growth.

This stock split is projected to significantly increase the number of shares of Cintas’s outstanding common stock, from approximately 101 million shares to approximately 404 million shares. As Cintas continues its trajectory of growth and success, this move reflects its commitment to inclusivity and its mission to create value for all stakeholders.
