<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Notice of Exempt Solicitation (CTAS)</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Notice of Exempt Solicitation Pursuant to Rule 14a-103</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Name of Registrant: Cintas Corporation (CTAS)</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Name of person relying on exemption: John Chevedden,
Cintas Shareholder since 2020</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Address of persons relying on exemption: POB 2673, Redondo Beach, CA
90278</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">These written materials are submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-6(g)(1)
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. John Chevedden does not beneficially own more than $5 million of the class of subject
securities, and this notice of exempt solicitation is therefore being provided on a voluntary basis.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">This is not a solicitation of authority to vote your proxy. </P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Please DO NOT send me your proxy card; the shareholder is not able
to vote your proxies, nor does this communication contemplate such an event. </P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The shareholder asks all shareholders to vote by following the procedural
instructions provided in the proxy materials.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Vote for Proposal 4 &ndash; A reasonable opportunity for Cintas
shareholders to call for a special shareholder meeting</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Vote against Joseph Scaminace for his long-term opposition to this
rudimentary corporate governance improvement</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Proposal 4 reforms the ridiculous Cintas requirement that 50% of Cintas
shares outstanding must sign on in order to call for a special shareholder meeting. This is even more ridiculous because it can mean that
more than 60% of the Cintas shares that vote at the annual meeting need to support a call for a special shareholder meeting.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Cintas gives no special reason for Cintas to be such an outlier with
an extreme high percent of shares to call for a special shareholder meeting. It is stupid for Cintas to take such an extreme long-term
stand against a rudimentary corporate governance improvement when Cintas stock has been flat in the past year while the stock market has
been robust.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Cintas has had since 2022 to consider joining the vast majority of
companies that have a much more reasonable percentage of shares needed to call for a special shareholder meeting.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Mr. Joseph Scaminace, Chair of the Cintas Governance Committee since
2022, deserves a resounding against vote for taking such an outlier position against a rudimentary corporate governance improvement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Any argument that calling a special shareholder meeting is too cumbersome
has little validity. In the vast majority of cases or in most cases, once a special meeting is called for by shareholders, the issues
behind calling for a special shareholder meeting are quickly resolved.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">With the widespread use of online shareholder meetings it is much easier
for a company to conduct a special shareholder meeting online, in the unlikely event that a special shareholder meeting ultimately takes
place, and the Cintas governing documents thus need to be updated accordingly.</P>
