Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously disclosed, on March 18, 2014, certain subsidiaries of Cintas Corporation (“Cintas”) entered into an agreement (the “JV Framework Agreement”) with the shareholders of Shred-it International Inc. (“Shred-it”) to combine the document destruction, recycling and ancillary services businesses of Cintas and Shred-it (the “Transaction”). The Transaction closed on April 30, 2014.
Pursuant to the terms of the JV Framework Agreement, each of Cintas and Shred-it contributed substantially all of its equity interests in, and the assets of, its document destruction, recycling and ancillary services business to a newly formed joint venture limited partnership (the “JV Partnership”) in exchange for an approximate 42% and 58% equity interest in the JV Partnership, respectively. Furthermore, in connection with the closing of the Transaction, Cintas received a cash payment of approximately $180 million.
