The Zhitong Finance App learned that according to reports, uniform supplier Cindas (CTAS.US) plans to buy rival First Coalition (UNF.US) for 5.1 billion US dollars. Fueled by this news, First Union surged more than 34% in pre-market trading of US stocks on Tuesday.

The report said that Cindus proposed to buy First Joint's common shares and Class B shares at a price of 275 US dollars per share. The report quoted letters sent to First Joint Board of Directors in recent weeks.

The report pointed out that after the first joint board of directors repeatedly refused to enter into deal negotiations with Cindus, Cindus is expected to publicly disclose the takeover offer soon.
