UniFirst Corporation (the “Company”) has filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 26, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

As a result, the Company was unable to file the Form 10-K by the filing deadline without unreasonable effort or expense to the Company. As a result, the Company is filing this Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25.
