Dow Jones

01-07

By Sabela Ojea

Shares of UniFirst on Tuesday surged following a report on a $5.1 billion takeover offer from competitor Cintas, a maker of workplace products, at a significant premium price.

The stock was up 29% to $218 in pre-market trading.

Cintas offered $275 per UniFirst share in cash, according to letters seen by The Wall Street Journal. The offer price is a more than 60% premium to where UniFirst shares ended trading Monday.

UniFirst stock closed at $169.33, giving the company a market value of roughly $3.1 billion. Cintas has a market value of over $74 billion.

Cintas plans to publicize its offer imminently, after UniFirst's board refused multiple times to engage further on any deal talks, the Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
