Cintas board approves 4-for-1 stock split

Cintas Corporation announced that its Board of Directors approved a four-for-one split of its common stock. Shareholders of record, as of September 4, 2024, will receive three additional shares for each share held, which will be distributed after market close on September 11, 2024. Cintas’ shares are expected to begin trading on a post-split basis at the market open on Thursday, September 12, 2024. Prior to this announcement, Cintas’ most recent stock split was in 2000. “At Cintas, we call our employees ‘partners’ in recognition of the value that each individual contributes to our success as a company. Our founder, Dick Farmer, also believed the importance of each employee-partner having ownership in the company to share collectively in that success,” said Todd Schneider, Cintas’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “Cintas shares are trading near record highs as a result of our steadfast focus on serving our customers. We believe that the time is right to split the stock and increase its accessibility to our employee-partners and investors so that they can continue to share in the future growth of Cintas.” The company expects that the stock split will increase the number of shares of Cintas’s outstanding common stock from approximately 101 million shares to approximately 404 million shares.
