Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On January 9, 2008, Cintas Corporation (the “Registrant”) entered into an Underwriting
Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) by and among the Registrant, Cintas Corporation No. 2, a
Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant (“Cintas No. 2”), the other
guarantors (as set forth on Schedule A to Exhibit 5 to this Form 8-K) (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”)
and KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., as Representative of the several underwriters, relating to the
issuance and sale of $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Cintas No. 2’s 6.125% Senior Notes
due 2017 guaranteed (collectively, the “Guarantees”) by the Registrant and the Subsidiary
Guarantors (together with the Registrant, the “Guarantors”).
The notes to be issued pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement consist of an additional
issuance of the 6.125% Senior Notes due 2017, $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of which have
been previously issued. The notes to be issued pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement will become
part of the same series as the outstanding notes for all purposes under the Indenture (as defined
below) and together are referred to in this Form 8-K as the “Notes.” The notes to be issued
pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement will be issued under an Indenture, dated as of May 28, 2002
(the “Indenture”), by and among Cintas No. 2, the Registrant, the Subsidiary Guarantors, and U.S.
Bank, National Association (as successor trustee to Wachovia Bank, National Association), as
trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
“Act”) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-136631) (as amended, the
“Registration Statement”) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Act.
The net proceeds received by Cintas No. 2, after deducting the underwriting discount and
estimated offering expenses, will be approximately $50.2 million and will be used to repay a
portion of Cintas No. 2’s outstanding commercial paper borrowings. As of January 8, 2008, the total
amount of commercial paper outstanding approximated $215 million, with a weighted average interest
rate of approximately 4.31% and maturities ranging from January 9, 2008 through February 8, 2008.
The Notes bear interest from December 7, 2007 at a rate equal to 6.125% per year, payable
semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on June 1, 2008. Each interest
payment will be made to the persons who are registered holders of the Notes on the immediately
preceding May 15 and November 15, respectively.
The Indenture, among other things, limits Cintas No. 2’s ability and the ability of the
Registrant and its other subsidiaries, to incur certain liens; engage in sale-leaseback
transactions; and in the case of Cintas No. 2, the Registrant and each Subsidiary Guarantor that is
a Significant Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture), merge or consolidate or sell all or
substantially all of their assets.
If Cintas No. 2 or the Registrant experiences a change of control and the Notes are rated
below investment grade by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.,
Cintas No. 2 must offer to repurchase all of the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal
amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.
The Notes may be declared immediately due and payable by the Trustee or the holders of 25% of
the principal amount of the Notes of the affected series if an event of default (except for an
event of default involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) occurs under the Indenture and
has not been cured. An event of default for these purposes generally means (1) the failure to pay
the principal on a Note on its due date, (2) the failure to pay interest on a Note within 30 days
of its due date, (3)
either Cintas No. 2 or a Guarantor remains in breach of any other term of the
Indenture for 60 days
after its receipt of written notice of such breach or (4) any guarantee in respect of the
Notes by the Registrant or a Subsidiary Guarantor that is Significant Subsidiary Guarantor ceases,
for any reason, to be in full force and effect. Upon an event of default involving certain events
of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the Notes shall become immediately due and payable
without any action by the Trustee or the holders.
Cintas No. 2 has the right to redeem some or all of the Notes at any time, or from time to
time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes
and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and
interest on the Notes that would be due after the redemption date discounted to the date of
redemption, at the applicable Treasury rate plus a make whole spread equal to 35 basis points, plus
accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, as applicable.
KeyBank National Association, an affiliate of KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., acted as the joint
lead arranger of, and is the administrative agent and a lender under, the Registrant’s revolving
credit facility. KeyBank National Association has received, and will continue to receive, customary
fees for its services in such capacities.
This description of the offering and terms of the Notes does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement (attached as Exhibit 1), the
Indenture (incorporated by reference as set forth below), the form of Officers’ Certificate
establishing the terms of the Notes and the form of the Notes (each as incorporated by reference as
set forth below).
