Acquisitions and Divestitures | Acquisitions and Divestitures Acquisitions The purchase price paid for each acquisition has been allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During fiscal 2017, Cintas acquired three businesses included in the Uniform Rental and Facility Services reportable operating segment, including the G&K acquisition discussed below, four businesses included in the First Aid and Safety Services reportable operating segment and eleven businesses included in All Other. During fiscal 2016, Cintas acquired two business included in the Uniform Rental and Facility Services reportable operating segment, two businesses included in the First Aid and Safety Services reportable operating segment, including the ZEE acquisition discussed below, and six businesses included in All Other. The following summarizes the aggregate purchase price and fair value allocations for all businesses acquired:

G&K Acquisition On March 21, 2017, Cintas completed the acquisition of G&K for consideration of approximately $2.1 billion. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock of G&K issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the G&K acquisition was canceled and converted into the right to receive $97.50 in cash. The total purchase price was $2,078.4 million, which was funded using a combination of new senior notes, a term loan, other borrowings under our existing credit facility and cash on hand. The net consideration transferred for G&K consisted of the following items:
(In thousands) |  |
Cash consideration for common stock | $ | 1,901,845 |  | (1)
Cash consideration for share-based awards | 62,257 |  | (2)
Cash consideration for G&K revolving debt | 124,180 |  | (3)
Cash consideration for transaction expenses | 24,529 |  | (4)
Total consideration | 2,112,811 |  |
Cash acquired | (34,393 | ) | (5)
Net consideration transferred | $ | 2,078,418 |  |
(1) The cash consideration for outstanding shares of G&K common stock is the product of the agreed-upon cash per share price of $97.50 and total G&K outstanding shares of approximately 19.5 million. (2) The cash consideration for share-based awards is the product of the agreed-upon cash per share price of $97.50 and the total number of restricted stock outstanding and the “in the money” stock options net of the weighted average exercise price. (3) The cash consideration for G&K revolving debt reflects the repayment of the outstanding obligation. (4) Represents G&K legal and professional fees that were incurred prior to acquisition and were due upon the closing of the transaction. (5) Represents the G&K cash balance acquired at acquisition. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation Cintas accounted for the G&K acquisition using the acquisition method. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was determined by management with the assistance of third-party valuation specialists, and is based on estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 21, 2017. Cintas is continuing to obtain information to determine the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, including tax assets, liabilities and other attributes. The components of the preliminary purchase price allocation, at fair value, are as follows:
Assets: | March 21, 2017
Accounts receivable | $ | 95,846 |
Inventories | 30,254 |
Uniforms and other rental items in service | 93,659 |
Income taxes, current | 14,626 |
Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 43,235 |
Property and equipment | 254,035 |
Goodwill | 1,493,211 |
Service contracts | 519,000 |
Trade names | 17,000 |
Other assets | 15,585 |
Liabilities: |
Accounts payable | (53,220 | )
Accrued compensation and related liabilities | (9,594 | )
Accrued liabilities | (115,109 | )
Long term accrued liabilities | (28,380 | )
G&K Senior notes | (105,359 | )
Deferred income taxes | (186,371 | )
Total consideration | $ | 2,078,418 |
The preliminary fair value of the intangible assets has been estimated using the income approach through a discounted cash flow analysis (except as noted below with respect to the trade names) with the cash flow projections discounted using a rate of 9.5%. The cash flows are based on estimates used to price the G&K acquisition, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from Cintas’ pricing model and the weighted average cost of capital. The G&K service contract intangible asset will be amortized over a period of 15 years, which represents the estimated useful life of the economic benefit and the asset amortization is based on the annual economic value of the underlying asset which generally decreases over the 15-year term. The trade names represent the G&K corporate trade name and all of the branded variations thereof. Cintas applied the income approach through a relief from royalty method analysis to determine the preliminary fair value of the trade name assets. The table below sets forth the preliminary valuation and amortization period of identifiable intangible assets:
Identifiable intangible assets: | Preliminary Valuation | Amortization Period
Service contracts | $ | 519,000 |  | 15 years
Trade names | 17,000 |  | 3 years
Total | $ | 536,000 |  |
Cintas estimated the preliminary fair value of the acquired property, plant and equipment using a combination of the cost and market approaches, depending on the type of asset. The preliminary fair value of property, plant and equipment consisted of real property of $141.8 million and personal property of $112.2 million. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The factors contributing to the recognition of the amount of goodwill are based on several strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the G&K acquisition. These benefits include improved service capabilities, an enhanced footprint in the markets that we serve, attractive synergy opportunities and value creation. The goodwill is entirely allocated to the Uniform Rental and Facility Services reportable operating segment. The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined financial results for Cintas and G&K as if the G&K acquisition had been completed at the beginning of Cintas’ prior fiscal year, June 1, 2015. Prior to the acquisition, G&K used a 52-week or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday nearest June 30. The pro forma financial information set forth below for the year ended May 31, 2016 includes G&K's annual results for the period of June 28, 2015 through July 2, 2016 adjusted for number of working days in Cintas' fiscal 2016. The pro forma financial information for the year ended May 31, 2017 includes G&K's publicly reported results for the period of July 2, 2016 through December 31, 2016 annualized and adjusted for the number of work days in the stub period of June 1, 2016 through March 21, 2017 and the actual results from March 22, 2017 through May 31, 2017. Actual net sales and net income of the acquired G&K business included in reported fiscal 2017 results were $187.7 million and $5.7 million, respectively.
In thousands except per share data | 2017 |  | 2016
Net sales | $ | 6,107,109 |  |  | $ | 5,762,741 |
Net income | $ | 488,482 |  |  | $ | 520,224 |
Earnings per common share - diluted | $ | 4.45 |  |  | $ | 4.66 |
The information above does not include the pro forma adjustments that would be required under Regulation S-X for pro forma financial information, and does not reflect future events that may occur after May 31, 2017 or any operating efficiencies or inefficiencies that may result from the G&K acquisition and related financing. Therefore, the information is not necessarily indicative of results that would have been achieved had the businesses been combined during the periods presented or the results that Cintas will experience going forward. Cintas is required to provide additional disclosures about fair value measurements as part of the consolidated financial statements for each major category of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (including business acquisitions). The working capital assets and liabilities, as well as the property and equipment acquired, were valued using Level 2 inputs which included data points that are observable, such as definitive sales agreements, appraisals or established market values of comparable assets (market approach). Goodwill, service contracts and other intangibles were valued using Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable by nature, and included internal estimates of future cash flow using a discount rate of 9.5% (income approach). Significant increases (decreases) in any of those unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Management utilizes third-party valuation firms to assist in the determination of purchase accounting fair values, and specifically those considered Level 3 measurements. Management ultimately oversees the third-party valuation firms to ensure that the transaction-specific assumptions are appropriate for Cintas. ZEE Acquisition On August 1, 2015, the Company acquired all of the shares of ZEE for acquisition-date fair value consideration of$134.0 million, consisting of cash of $120.6 million and contingent consideration, subject to certain holdback provisions of $13.4 million. ZEE operates within the First Aid and Safety Services reportable operating segment. This acquisition has expanded our footprint in van delivered first aid, safety, training and emergency products and will allow us to serve an even greater number of customers in North America. Purchase Price Allocation Cintas accounted for the ZEE acquisition using the acquisition method. The final purchase price allocation was determined by management with the assistance of third-party valuation specialists, and was based on estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of August 1, 2015. The components of the final purchase price allocation, at fair value, are as follows:
Assets: |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 333 |
Accounts receivable | 16,705 |
Inventory | 5,987 |
Other current assets | 1,443 |
Property, plant and equipment | 849 |
Goodwill | 87,442 |
Service contracts | 34,000 |
Other intangibles | 4,500 |
Liabilities: |
Accounts payable | (7,195 | )
Accrued liabilities | (4,428 | )
Deferred income taxes | (5,636 | )
Total consideration | $ | 134,000 |
The fair value of the intangible assets was estimated using the income approach through a discounted cash flow analysis with the cash flow projections discounted using a rate of 11%. The cash flows are based on estimates used to price the ZEE acquisition, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from Cintas’ pricing model and the weighted average cost of capital. The ZEE service contract intangible asset will be amortized over a period of 10 years. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. The factors contributing to the recognition of the amount of goodwill are based on several strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the ZEE acquisition. These benefits include improved service capabilities, an enhanced footprint in the markets that we serve, attractive synergy opportunities and value creation. The goodwill is entirely allocated to the First Aid and Safety reportable operating segment. Cintas is required to provide additional disclosures about fair value measurements as part of the consolidated financial statements for each major category of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (including business acquisitions).

Management utilizes third-party valuation firms to assist in the determination of purchase accounting fair values, and specifically those considered Level 3 measurements. Management ultimately oversees the third-party valuation firms to ensure that the transaction-specific assumptions are appropriate for Cintas. The results of operations of ZEE are not material to the consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the acquired businesses are included in the consolidated statements of income from the dates of acquisition. The pro forma revenue, net income and earnings per share information relating to acquired businesses, excluding G&K, are not presented because they are not significant to Cintas. Divestitures In fiscal 2014, Cintas completed the Shredding Transaction with Shred-it International, Inc. to combine Cintas’ Shredding with Shred-it International Inc.’s shredding business and created the Shred-it Partnership. In fiscal 2016, Cintas sold Shred-it. In fiscal 2015, Cintas sold Storage. Storage, excluding related real estate owned by Cintas, was sold in three separate transactions to three separate buyers. In fiscal 2016, Cintas sold the remaining Storage assets classified as held for sale. Both Shredding and Storage were previously included in the former Document Management Services operating segment. As a result of the transactions noted above, the results from Shredding, Shred-it and Storage are reported under discontinued operations for all periods presented and are excluded from continuing operations and from operating segment results for all periods presented. See Note 16 entitled Discontinued Operations for additional information.
