| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. Reporting Person elected to defer a portion of the Reporting Person's cash retainer fees into Phantom Stock Units pursuant to the Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan (including dividend equivalents that have been credited as additional Phantom Stock Units), each unit having a value equal to one share of Cintas Corporation common stock but are not actual shares of common stock and carry no voting rights. Phantom Stock Units are payable only in cash after termination of service as a director. |
| 2. On September 4, 2024, Cintas Corporation completed a four-for-one stock split of its common stock. All share amounts and stock prices have been adjusted to give effect to this stock split. |
| Remarks: |
| This Form 4 is the second of two Form 4s filed by the Reporting Person on the same date, December 17, 2025. The Form 4 has been split into two filings to cover all 49 individual transactions because the SEC's EDGAR filing system limits a single Form 4 to a maximum of 30 separate transactions. |
