**Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.**

On May 26, 2026, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Rollins, Inc. (the "Company") approved the appointment of William Harkins, who is currently the Company's Chief Accounting Officer ("CAO"), to also become the Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), effective June 15, 2026 (the "CFO Transition Date"). This is in connection with the resignation on May 26, 2026, by the Company's current CFO, Kenneth Krause, to pursue another opportunity, effective as of the CFO Transition Date. Mr. Krause's resignation does not involve any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies, or practices.

Mr. Harkins, age 45, has served as the Company's CAO since March 2025. He joined from Mohawk Industries, Inc., where he served as Chief Accounting Officer and Corporate Controller for three years. Prior to that, Mr. Harkins was the Assistant Controller for Mars, Incorporated and spent fourteen years at The Coca-Cola Company. He began his career in the audit practice at Ernst & Young LLP. Mr. Harkins holds both a Master of Accountancy and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting from the University of Georgia. He is a Certified Public Accountant in Georgia.

In connection with the appointment of Mr. Harkins to become CFO, the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee of the Board approved an annual base salary of $610,000 and adjustments to his target annual bonus and target annual equity grant opportunities (to be granted in the form of restricted stock and performance share units) commensurate with his role as CFO. The Committee also approved a one-time award of restricted stock to be granted on July 1, 2026, with a value of $500,000, with the number of shares to be determined using the closing stock price on such date, that will vest on the Company's standard form in equal installments based on his continued employment through each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. Mr. Harkins will also be eligible for benefits consistent with those provided to other Company senior executives and D&O indemnity coverage that is customary for executive officers. Mr. Harkins will remain subject to his existing restrictive covenants and be eligible for change-in-control and severance protections customarily offered to the Company's executive officers.

Mr. Krause has agreed to provide advisory services in support of the transition through September 30, 2026, which is reflected in a Separation and Transition Agreement entered into between Mr. Krause and the Company as of May 26, 2026 (the "Separation Agreement"). Under the Separation Agreement, Mr. Krause will resign from his CFO role and all employment effective as of the CFO Transition Date and continue to receive his current base salary and benefits through such date. During the advisory period, Mr. Krause will not receive continued compensation other than that 8,000 shares of restricted stock previously granted to Mr. Krause under the Company's 2018 Stock Incentive Plan that otherwise would have vested on or about February 20, 2027 (the "Vesting Date"), will vest as of the Vesting Date, subject to Mr. Krause's provision of advisory services through September 30, 2026, and continued compliance with restrictive covenants and the execution and non-revocation of a release. Mr. Krause will remain subject to his existing post-employment restrictive covenants, including a twenty-four-month non-competition covenant and a twenty-four month non-solicitation covenant (each measured from the Vesting Date), as well as perpetual confidentiality and non-disparagement obligations. The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Separation Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Mr. Harkins has no family relationships that require disclosure pursuant to Item 401(d) of Regulation S-K and has not been involved in any transactions that require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Harkins and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Harkins was named Executive Vice President and CFO. His employment is at will and is subject to the discretion of the Board.

## Exhibit 10.1

***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Execution Copy***

**SEPARATION AND TRANSITION AGREEMENT**

This Separation and Transition Agreement (this "**Agreement**") by and between Rollins, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the "**Company**") and Kenneth Krause (the "**Executive**") is entered into as of May 26, 2026.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER TRANSITION AND SEPARATION.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of the date of this Agreement, the Company acknowledges the Executive's intent to resign as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (together, "**CFO**") effective June 15, 2026 (the "**Transition Date**"). Effective as of the Transition Date, the Executive will resign from being CFO and any and all other officer, director, manager or similar positions with the Company and all of the Company subsidiaries, and from any and all committees or similar governing body positions of the Company including its subsidiaries. The Executive's employment will cease in all capacities on the Separation Date. Upon request by the Company, the Executive will execute and deliver to the Company a written resignation confirming that he is voluntarily submitting such resignations, effective as of the Transition Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Executive will continue to provide services as an active employee of the Company until the Transition Date and as advisor thereafter until the Separation Date as set forth below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ADVISORY ROLE.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Following the Transition Date, the Executive will become an independent contractor, and perform the services described in Exhibit A (the "**Services**") through September 30, 2026, or such earlier date as mutually agreed by the parties (the "**Separation Date**", and such period between the Transition Date and the Separation Date, the "**Advisory Term**"). The Executive agrees to use his commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company in the successful transition of his responsibilities to his successor, including making himself reasonably available on request to, among other things, respond to questions and provide assistance. Executive will have full-time employment with another employer following the Transition Date, and the Company shall not require transition services to be performed at times which directly conflict with Executive's full-time employment duties. Failure to provide the Services through the Separation Date will cause the Executive to forfeit any compensation to which the Executive could otherwise become entitled under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The parties agree that during the Advisory Term, the Executive will be an independent contractor in the performance of the Services and not an employee of the Company. <br>During the Advisory Term, the Executive will not receive base salary, bonus, other cash compensation or continued employee benefits, and the Executive will not be entitled and hereby waives any rights to employee benefits, except as set forth under Section 3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company will provide Executive with continued use of his Company laptop computer and mobile phone until the Separation Date.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CONSIDERATION. In consideration for this Agreement and the Executive's execution and non-revocation of the Release (as set forth in Section 4), the Company shall provide the following to the Executive:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;From the date hereof until the Transition Date, or the Executive's earlier termination of employment, the Executive will continue to receive his current base salary and benefits. For purposes of clarity, the Executive will not be eligible for an annual bonus or cash incentive opportunity for the 2026 fiscal year and will be ineligible for grants of equity-based compensation or continued vesting under the Rollins, Inc. 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the "**Stock Incentive Plan**"), except as set forth in Section 3(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Provided the Executive continues to provide the Services through the Separation Date, and otherwise remains in compliance with this Agreement through the Vesting Date (as defined below), the Company will allow 8,000 shares of Restricted Stock that were granted to the Executive under the Stock Incentive Plan that otherwise would have vested based on the Executive's continued service through a date that is on or about February 20, 2027 (the "**Vesting Date**"), to vest as of the Vesting Date. For the avoidance of doubt, all other outstanding awards to the Executive under the Stock Incentive Plan, which for purposes of clarity include Restricted Shares and Performance Share Units, shall be forfeited as of the Transition Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For purposes of clarity, the Executive will be eligible to continue medical coverage through COBRA at the Executive's own cost, and the Executive will continue to be covered under the Company's D&O and/or any other similar insurance policy applicable to the Executive as of the Transition Date in accordance with the terms of such policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RELEASE.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to receive the consideration under this Agreement, the Executive agrees that in connection with the execution of this Agreement and again on the Separation Date, he will execute a copy of the release of claims attached as Exhibit B (the "**Release**"). E-mail delivery of the Release to Elizabeth Chandler, Chief Legal Officer, shall be sufficient delivery for the purposes of the Release.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Executive acknowledges that certain benefits and payments under this Agreement are in excess of total payments and benefit that he otherwise would be entitled to receive upon a termination of employment. The Executive acknowledges that he is not entitled to any compensation or benefits other than what is provided for in this Agreement, and that the Executive is not entitled to any separation benefits under any other plan of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Executive has previously entered into agreements with the Company to be bound by restrictive covenants (including confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation including but not limited to those in the Employment Agreement dated September 1, 2022, and Change-In-Control Severance and Restrictive Covenant Agreement dated on or around February 11, 2025) (the "**Restrictive Covenants**"). The Executive affirms that he will comply with such Restrictive Covenants during the Advisory Term and following the Separation Date in accordance with the terms of such covenants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Executive agrees that the term of the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants applicable to him will extend through the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Vesting Date.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Executive agrees to keep confidential the terms of this Agreement (including the Release) and to not disclose or publish it to anyone with the exception of the Executive's spouse, immediate family members, financial advisor, or attorney. Otherwise, the Executive may only disclose the terms of this Agreement if legally required to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and when this Agreement is publicly filed by the Company, the foregoing confidentiality obligation shall terminate upon such public filing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other than (i) as permitted under Section 5(g), (ii) with the Executive's spouse, immediate family members, financial advisor, or attorney or (iii) in coordination with the Company's Chief Executive Officer, the Executive will not internally or externally discuss his resignation or the circumstances of his departure with any person prior to the Company's issuance of a press release or publicly filing this Agreement, and following such press release or public filing, any such internal or external communication shall be consistent with any prior Company press release and this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Executive agrees that he will not now or at any time in the future make any negative or disparaging comments of any kind concerning the Company and/or its activities, products, services or its shareholders, officers, directors, employees or representatives to any person or entity, including any of the Company's vendors, suppliers, customers or employees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Executive will return to the Company all of the Company's property that is within the Executive's possession, custody, or control no later than the Transition Date, including, without limitation, any Company-issued hardware (such as laptops, mobile phones, *etc*.), Company-provided software, keys and keycards, and electronic or paper documents and records containing confidential Company information and/or information regarding the Company's practices, procedures, trade secrets, customer lists, products or services. In addition, the Executive will not use the same for the Executive's own purpose or retain any copies of same. The Executive understands that, with respect to documents and other information, the language in this paragraph includes all originals and copies in electronic and hard- and/or soft-copy forms. Further, the Executive will not delete any Company-related information from any Company-issued hardware prior to returning such hardware to the Company. In addition, no later than the Transition Date, the Executive will deliver to the Company (i) all passwords in use at the time of the separation related to the Company, its systems and/or the work the Executive performed for the Company and (ii) a list of any documents that the Executive created or is otherwise aware that are password-protected, and the password(s) necessary to access such password-protected documents. The Executive will return to the Company's legal department any and all hard copies of any documents which are the subject of a document preservation notice or other legal hold and notify the Company's legal department of the location of any electronic documents which are subject to a legal hold.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nothing in this Agreement (a) prevents the Executive from communicating with, filing a charge or complaint with, providing documents or information voluntarily or in response to a subpoena or other information request to, or from participating in an investigation or proceeding conducted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, law enforcement, or any other federal, state or local agency charged with the enforcement of any laws, or from responding to a subpoena or discovery request in court litigation or arbitration or (b) limits the Executive from exercising rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act or similar state law to engage in protected, concerted activity with other employees; however, by signing this Agreement, the Executive is waiving any rights to individual relief (including back pay, front pay, reinstatement or other legal or equitable relief) in any charge, complaint, or lawsuit or other proceeding brought by the Executive or on the Executive's behalf by any third party, except for

------

any right the Executive may have to receive a payment or award from a government agency (and not from the Company) for information provided to the government agency or otherwise where prohibited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CONTINUED COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS AND INSIDER TRADING RESTRICTIONS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Executive will comply with all applicable laws, Company policies and obligations of the Executive to the Company and its affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Executive agrees that to the extent he continues to have Company inside information, he will comply with the securities laws and the Company's insider trading restrictions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NOTICES. All notices hereunder must be in writing and shall be deemed validly given when delivered by hand, by nationally recognized overnight express delivery service or by First Class United States mail, certified, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

To the Company:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rollins, Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Attn: General Counsel

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2170 Piedmont Road NE

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Atlanta, GA 30324

To the Executive:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Personal e-mail provided to the Legal Department

Any notice or other communication mailed as herein provided shall be deemed effectively given (a) on the date of delivery, if delivered by a recognized, professional courier or (b) on the date received, if sent by overnight express delivery or if sent by U.S. mail. The parties may substitute recipient's names and addresses by giving at least ten (10) days' notice as provided hereunder. Rejection or refusal to accept delivery of any notice or the inability to deliver any notice because of a changed address of which no notice was given, shall be deemed to be receipt of any such notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;COOPERATION AFTER SEPARATION DATE. To the extent that the Company determines that the Executive possesses information relevant to litigation, potential litigation, investigations by government agencies, potential investigations by government agencies, internal investigations, or otherwise, that relates to activities that occurred during the Advisory Term and while the Executive was employed by the Company, the Executive agrees to make the Executive reasonably available to provide information and assistance, including, but not limited to, meeting with the Company's counsel, interviews, attending or appearing as a witness at depositions, hearings, pretrial preparation and trial testimony, or other court or administrative proceedings, reviewing documents, and responding to requests for information from government authorities, opposing parties, outside and in-house counsel and otherwise. The Company agrees to accommodate the Executive's other commitments in scheduling any such interviews, depositions, pretrial preparation and trial testimony, or information requests insofar as is reasonably practicable to minimize inconvenience to the Executive, and to reimburse Executive's reasonable out of pocket expenses in connection with such assistance with the Company's prior authorization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SECTION 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The benefits provided under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and all regulations, guidance, or

------

other interpretive authority thereunder ("**Section 409A**"). To the extent that the benefits are subject to Section 409A, this Agreement will be interpreted and construed in favor of the Executive to the fullest extent allowed under Section 409A and the applicable guidance thereunder to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A or, alternatively, to comply with an exemption from Section 409A and the applicable guidance thereunder. Each payment of compensation under this Agreement will be treated as a "separate payment" of compensation for purposes of applying Section 409A and the short-term deferral exception.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To the extent that Section 409A applies, any reference herein to a termination of employment, retirement, separation from service or phrases of similar import will mean a "separation from service" as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A–1(h). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Executive is deemed on the date of termination of employment to be a "specified employee" within the meaning of that term under Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that constitutes "nonqualified deferred compensation" under Section 409A payable on account of a "separation from service," such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided until the date which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such "separation from service", and (ii) the date of the Executive's death, to the extent required under Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the foregoing delay period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days or months, the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. In the event the payment period under this Agreement for any nonqualified deferred compensation commences in one (1) calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, the payment shall not be paid until the later of (i) the first payroll date of the second calendar year, or (ii) the date on which the applicable Release becomes effective and irrevocable. The Executive shall not have the ability to control, directly or indirectly, the timing of any payments of deferred compensation subject to Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The tax treatment of the benefits provided under this Agreement are not warranted or guaranteed. The Company does not represent or guarantee that any particular federal or state income, payroll or other tax treatment will result from the compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement. The Company does not represent that this Agreement complies with Section 409A and in no event shall the Company, its affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on the Executive (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Executive) pursuant to Section 409A or for damages for failing to comply with Section 409A. The Executive is solely responsible for the proper tax reporting and timely payment of any tax or interest for which the Executive is liable as a result of the compensation or benefits payable pursuant to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MISCELLANEOUS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Remedies**. In addition to all other remedies provided for hereunder, if the Executive breaches any term of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to its available legal and equitable remedies to the full extent permitted by law, including but, not limited to, an injunction and suspending and recovering any and all payments and benefits made or to be made under this Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Successors and Assigns**. The rights and benefits of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Company's successors and assigns. The rights and obligations of the Executive under this Agreement may only be assigned with the prior written consent of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Governing Law**. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Georgia or, where applicable, United States federal law, in each case, without regard to any conflicts-of-law provisions or those of any state other than Georgia. The parties agree that jurisdiction and venue shall lie exclusively in Fulton County, Georgia for any action involving the validity, interpretation, or enforcement of this Agreement, or for any claim for breach of this Agreement, for damages, and for other relief sought under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Severability**. If a court finds any term of this Agreement to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, the Company and the Executive agree that the court shall modify such term to make it enforceable to the maximum extent possible. If the term cannot be modified, the Company and the Executive agree that the term shall be severed and all other terms of this Agreement shall remain in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Expenses**. Each party hereto shall pay such party's own expenses incurred (including, without limitation, the fees of counsel) on such party's behalf in connection with this Agreement or any transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Waivers**. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective except pursuant to a written instrument signed by the party waiving compliance, and any such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose stated in such writing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Force Majeure**.

ATLANTA, May 27, 2026: Rollins, Inc. (NYSE:ROL), a premier global consumer and commercial services company, today announced that Kenneth D. Krause, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will resign to pursue an opportunity with a company in an unrelated industry, effective June 15, 2026. To support an orderly transition, Mr. Krause has agreed to a transition services agreement to advise the Company during a transition period. The Company also announced that William W. Harkins has been elected Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective June 15, 2026.

Since joining Rollins in 2022, Mr. Krause has made substantial contributions to the Company. During his tenure, he has advanced efforts to modernize the business, optimized the capital structure, increased investor transparency, and led several key capital markets transactions. These efforts, coupled with exceptional execution by the entire Rollins team, have grown the Company's market capitalization by more than fifty percent, while the dividend has increased more than eighty percent since 2022. The Board and management team are grateful for Mr. Krause's leadership, judgment, and many contributions to Rollins, and appreciate his willingness to continue supporting the Company during the transition period.

"Ken has been an outstanding leader and trusted partner to me, our leadership team, and our Board," said Jerry Gahlhoff, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rollins. "He has strengthened our finance organization, supported the continued growth and evolution of our business, and played an important role in advancing our long-term strategy. We are deeply appreciative of all he has done for Rollins."

"It has been a privilege to serve Rollins and work alongside such a talented team," said Mr. Krause. "I am incredibly proud of all that we have accomplished together over the last several years, including the continued strengthening of the finance function and the progress we have made in support of the Company's long-term growth and modernization efforts. I look forward to supporting the Company in the coming months to ensure a smooth transition."

Mr. Harkins, who succeeds Mr. Krause, has over twenty years of extensive financial and accounting leadership experience. He has an exceptional track record of building and leading high-performing teams across a variety of finance functions. He joined Rollins in March 2025 as Chief Accounting Officer. Prior to joining Rollins, he served as Chief Accounting Officer and Corporate Controller at Mohawk Industries, Inc. He also held leadership positions with Mars, Incorporated and The Coca-Cola Company where he led teams through significant transformation. He began his career in the audit practice of Ernst & Young LLP. Mr. Harkins holds both a Master of Accountancy and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting from the University of Georgia and is a Certified Public Accountant in Georgia.

"Will is a highly respected finance leader with deep accounting expertise, strong operating discipline, and a clear understanding of our business," added Mr. Gahlhoff. "Having worked closely with Ken and the broader leadership team, Will is well prepared to step into the CFO role and help ensure continuity as we continue to execute our strategy."

"I am honored to take on the role of Chief Financial Officer at Rollins," said Mr. Harkins. "Rollins is uniquely positioned with a solid foundation, a differentiated business model, and an attractive pathway for continued shareholder value creation. I look forward to working with Jerry, Ken, the Board, and the broader team to build on the Company's exceptional momentum and support our next phase of growth."
