July 31, 2015 9:02 AM EDT

Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS) has entered into a definitive agreement to purchase ZEE Medical from McKesson Corporation (NYSE: MCK) for consideration of approximately $130 million in cash. The transaction is expected to close on August 1, 2015.

This acquisition, with expected annual revenue of $110 million to $120 million, expands Cintas' footprint in van delivered first aid, safety, training and emergency products and allows the company to serve an even greater number of customers in North America.

Cintas CEO Scott Farmer said, “ZEE Medical was the pioneer in van delivered first aid and safety services. We believe that this acquisition will help us continue to maximize our long-term value for our shareholders, while positioning us to provide an even greater array of products and services for our customers.”

Cintas provided initial fiscal 2016 guidance on July 17, 2015, for revenue to be in the range of $4.70 billion to $4.78 billion, and earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $3.74 to $3.83. Updated fiscal 2016 guidance to give effect to the ZEE Medical acquisition will be provided in September when fiscal 2016 first quarter results are announced and the details of the purchase accounting are finalized.
