The exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of the common stock (anti-dilutive).

For the three months ended August 31, 2018, we purchased 0.4 million shares of Cintas common stock at an average price of $200.97 per share for a total purchase price of $78.5 million.

For the three months ended August 31, 2018, Cintas acquired 0.3 million shares of Cintas common stock for employee payroll taxes due on restricted stock awards that vested during the three months ended August 31, 2018. These shares were acquired at an average price of $204.39 per share for a total purchase price of $61.0 million.
