UniFirst shares jumped sharply after rival Cintas made an all-cash takeover proposal valuing the company at $275 per share, a hefty premium to UniFirst’s recent 90‑day average price. The bid is structured to look highly credible to investors: it carries a $350 million reverse termination fee designed to give confidence that Cintas will push the deal through regulatory review, and the offer is not dependent on outside financing. Cintas plans to fund the acquisition with existing cash and other sources once a final agreement is reached and UniFirst shareholders sign off, helping fuel optimism that a deal — and the elevated share price it implies — could ultimately be realized.
