Letter to **Shareholders**

**To our Shareholders,**

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are pleased to share that we will hold our 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on Tuesday, April 28th, 2026, at 12:30 P.M.

Thanks to our teammates, we had another year of growth and solid financial results in 2025. Our operations performed well, and we had impressive growth in every business line. The strength of our brands motivated customers to select, retain and increase our services at high levels. Living up to our brand promises is the hallmark of the longevity and sustainable business model that we have built at Rollins.

**Strategic Objectives**

We have aligned around key strategic objectives that will help us to drive continued success for Rollins.

First and foremost, we promote a **people first** mindset that emphasizes the importance of prioritizing the well-being and development of the individual, as well as our collective team, in all aspects of our business. We put our customers and colleagues first, knowing that in order to provide the best customer experience, we must focus on cultivating our position as the employer of choice in our industry. Our people are a key competitive advantage, so we must invest in tools, training and development opportunities that make working at Rollins an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

When you put people first, you also build **customer loyalty** by ensuring that our teammates have the skills and resources needed to provide exceptional customer service. We are focused on building relationships and trust with our customers by consistently striving to exceed their expectations.

Another key tenet of our culture is promoting a **growth mindset** throughout our business. Change is constant in today's environment, so we must remain open and adaptable to new ideas for continuous growth.

As a complement to our growth mindset, our dedication to continuous improvement and **operational efficiency** is another key tenet of our strategy and culture. We approach our operations from the perspective that everything we do can be improved upon. We are constantly striving to improve our service levels by optimizing our business model and modernizing our business.

**Board of Directors Update**

We are thankful for the continued commitment of time and expertise of our Board members and remain committed to retaining the best team to guide us in our pursuit of long-term value for our shareholders.

Effective as of the 2026 Annual Meeting, Gary W. Rollins, Executive Chairman Emeritus, has decided to transition from his current board responsibilities. He will remain an honorary Chairman Emeritus and a non-voting participant at Rollins Board meetings. We are grateful to have Gary Rollins's continued involvement with the Company and look forward to his continued guidance and support.

Also, Timothy C. Rollins has been nominated by the Board for election at the Annual Meeting. We are pleased to welcome Tim Rollins to the Board of Directors, continuing a strong family connection with our Company, and believe the Company will benefit from his decades of strategic oversight and business operations experience.

**Moving Forward**

We are optimistic about our future and what we can accomplish together in 2026. On behalf of our Board of Directors and our teammates around the world, we want to thank you for your continued support and investment in Rollins, Inc. We are excited about the future and our ability to deliver long-term shareholder returns.

Proxy **Statement**

We are furnishing the proxy materials to shareholders on or about March 17, 2026. The Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on April 28, 2026, the Proxy Statement, and the Annual Report are available at http://www.viewproxy.com/ROL/2026.

The following information concerning the Proxy Statement and the matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on April 28, 2026, is submitted by the Company to the shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Company's Board of Directors.

Solicitation of and **Power to Revoke Proxy**

A form of proxy is enclosed. Each proxy submitted will be voted as directed, but if not otherwise specified, proxies solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company will be voted in favor of the candidates for election to the Board of Directors in favor of ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, and to approve the compensation of the Company's named executive officers. We have designated John F. Wilson, the Company's Executive Chairman of the Board, and Jerry E. Gahlhoff, Jr., the Company's President and CEO, as proxies for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

A shareholder executing and delivering a proxy has the power to revoke the same and the authority thereby given at any time prior to the exercise of such authority, if they so elect, by contacting either proxy holder, by timely submitting a later dated proxy changing their vote, or by attending the meeting and voting in person. However, a beneficial shareholder who holds their shares in street name must secure a proxy from their broker before they can attend the meeting and vote. All costs of solicitation have been, and will be, borne by the Company.

Householding and Delivery of **Notice or Proxy Materials**

The Company has adopted the process called "householding" for any notice or proxy materials in order to reduce printing costs and postage fees. Householding means that shareholders who share the same last name and address will receive only one copy of the notice or proxy materials, unless we receive contrary instructions from any shareholder at that address.

If you prefer to receive multiple copies of the proxy material at the same address, additional copies will be provided to you promptly upon written or oral request. If you are a shareholder of record, you may contact us by writing to the Company at 2170 Piedmont Rd., NE, Atlanta, GA 30324 or by calling 404-888-2000. Eligible shareholders of record receiving multiple copies of the proxy materials can request householding by contacting the Company in the same manner.

Capital **Stock**

The outstanding capital stock of the Company on March 2, 2026 consisted of 481,988,844 shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote (noncumulative) for each share of such stock registered in their respective names at the close of business on March 2, 2026, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Matters to be Voted on and **Votes Needed for Approval**

A majority of the outstanding shares will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and "broker non-votes" will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and do not provide the organization that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, the organization that holds your shares may generally vote on "routine" matters but cannot vote on "non-routine" matters. If the organization that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a "non-routine" matter, the organization that holds your shares will inform the inspector of election that it does not have the authority to vote on this matter with respect to your shares. The situation in which a broker is able to vote on some matters at a meeting but not others is generally referred to as a "broker non-vote" with respect to those matters on which the broker cannot vote. The proposal to ratify our independent auditors is considered a routine proposal upon which brokers may vote without instruction. Therefore, there likely will be broker non-votes that are not cast with respect to Proposal 1 and Proposal 3 but are voted by the broker with respect to Proposal 2. In accordance with the General Corporation Law of the state of Delaware and our Bylaws, the following votes are needed for approval of each proposal:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **1** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Proposal No. 1**<br>**The election of nine director nominees to serve as directors of the Company until our 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.**<br>The election of the director nominees named herein will require the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote in the election, provided that a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.<br>In the case of a plurality vote requirement (as in the election of directors), where no particular percentage vote is required, the outcome is solely a matter of comparing the number of votes cast for each nominee, with those nominees receiving the most votes being elected, and hence only votes for director nominees (and not abstentions or broker non-votes, as described above) are relevant to the outcome. In this case, the nine director nominees receiving the most votes will be elected. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **2** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Proposal No. 2**<br>**To ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.**<br>The affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting on this matter is required to approve the ratification of the appointment of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2026.<br>Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against this proposal.<br>Broker non-votes are not relevant to this proposal and will be disregarded. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **3** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Proposal No. 3**<br>**Advisory (non-binding) vote to approve the compensation of the Company's named executive officers.**<br>The affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting on this matter is required to approve the advisory (non-binding) vote on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers.<br>Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against this proposal. <br>Broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal and will be disregarded. Because this proposal is an advisory (non-binding) vote, the result will not be binding on our Board of Directors or the Company. |

---

There are no rights of appraisal or similar dissenter's rights with respect to any matter to be acted upon pursuant to this Proxy Statement. It is expected that shares held of record and beneficially by officers and directors of the Company and their affiliates, which in the aggregate represent approximately 5.77% percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the record date, will be voted for the director nominees, for the ratification of the appointment of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm and for approval of the compensation of the Company's named executive officers.

Board of Directors and **Corporate Governance**

Board Leadership Structure

The Rollins' Board of Directors (the "**Board**") is led by the Executive Chairman of the Board with each of the Board committees being led by a Committee Chairperson. The Company believes it is in its best interest to separate the Board leadership roles from the Chief Executive Officer role, and as of January 2023, Jerry E. Gahlhoff, Jr. began serving as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The separation of the Executive Chairman of the Board role from the Chief Executive Officer role allows the Chief Executive Officer to focus his time and energy on operating and managing the Company while leveraging the experience and perspective of the Executive Chairman of the Board.

In order to continue to drive a high performing Board, the Company has continued to elect a Lead Independent Director who is responsible for identifying issues for the Board to consider and properly addressing issues with all directors being heard. Louise S. Sams has served as the Lead Independent Director of the Board following the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Also, the Company has had Mr. Gary W. Rollins serving as the Executive Chairman Emeritus; however, as of the Annual Meeting, Mr. Gary W. Rollins will retire from the Board but will remain honorary Chairman Emeritus and a non-voting participant at Rollins Board meetings.

The Board believes the current leadership structure consisting of a separate Executive Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Lead Independent Director and Chairman Emeritus represents the appropriate structure for the Company at this time. The specific responsibilities of the Executive Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Lead Independent Director, and Chairman Emeritus are outlined in the table below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Executive Chairman of the Board** | • Sets the agendas for Board meetings in consultation with the CEO, Corporate Secretary, and other members of the Board.<br>• Presides over all Board meetings and the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.<br>• Sees that all orders and resolutions of the Board are carried into effect. |
| **Chief Executive Officer** | • Sets the operational leadership and strategic direction of the Company.<br>• Sets the day-to-day leadership and performance of the Company. |
| **Lead Independent Director** | • Serves as the liaison between the Executive Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, and the independent directors.<br>• Sets the agendas for, and presides over, the executive sessions of the non-employee and independent directors.<br>• Consults with the Executive Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer regarding information sent to the Board in connection with Board meetings.<br>• Being available, if requested by the shareholders, when appropriate, for consultation and direct communication. |

Board of Directors and Corporate Governance

Role of the Board

The Company's business affairs are managed under the direction of the Board, which is currently composed of twelve members. The Board oversees the Company's Chief Executive Officer and other senior management in the competent and ethical operation of the Company and assures that the long-term interests of the shareholders are being served. In conducting this oversight responsibility, the Board receives regular reports from the Chief Executive Officer and other members of the Company's senior management team.

**The Board's Role in Oversight of Risk Management**

"Risk" is an extremely broad concept that extends to multiple functional areas and crosses multiple disciplines. As such, risk may be addressed by the full Board or by one or more of the Committees of the Board as assigned for risk oversight. The Company maintains an Enterprise Risk Management ("**ERM**") program that assists in identifying, monitoring and mitigating the Company's key enterprise risks. The Company leverages the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("**COSO**") ERM framework designed to help the Company's business leaders understand and prioritize organizational risks and measure how such risks impact the Company's strategy and performance. The Audit Committee and the Board review the prioritization of the Company's most important risks and the Company's key mitigation actions related to those risks.

Senior management is responsible for identifying and managing material risks that the Company faces. Insurable risks and litigation risks are handled primarily by the legal and risk management departments, which provide reports to the Audit Committee. Liquidity risk, credit risk and risks associated with our credit facilities, other debt instruments, and cash management are handled primarily by our finance department, which regularly provides a financial report to the Audit Committee and to the full Board. Operational, business, regulatory and political risks are handled primarily by senior executive management, which regularly provides various operational reports to, among others, the Audit Committee and the full Board. Risks related to the Company's executive compensation programs and practices, and human capital management strategy and policies, including those related to workplace inclusion and health and safety management, are handled by senior management, which regularly provides reports to the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receives regular reports from senior management on risks related to the Board and Board committee membership and structure, governance policies and practices, related party transactions, and sustainability initiatives.

**The Board's Role in Oversight of Cybersecurity Risk Management**

Cybersecurity has become a particularly acute and chronic area of risk for companies of all sizes and in all industries, including our Company. While management is primarily responsible for our cybersecurity program and managing our cybersecurity risks, including our procedures and day-to-day operations, our Audit Committee supports the Board with oversight responsibility of our cybersecurity risks. The Company has security incident response policies and procedures for identifying, assessing, and managing material risks arising from cybersecurity incidents, including those arising from third-party service providers. The Audit Committee monitors the cybersecurity risk management and cyber control functions, including external security audits, and receives periodic updates from experienced senior management knowledgeable about assessing and managing cyber risks, including, as appropriate, updates on the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cyber incidents. The Audit Committee also receives regular quarterly reports from our Chief Information Security Officer and reviews our information technology and cybersecurity risk profile. Cybersecurity incidents that significantly impact the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of Company data or the reliability of the Company system or network are reported to the Audit Committee.

Further, our privacy compliance and digital risk management initiatives focus on the threats and risks to enterprise information and the underlying information technology systems processing such information as part of the implementation of business processes, including Artificial Intelligence. We have also implemented policies and procedures for the assessment, identification, and management of material risks from cybersecurity threats, including internal training, system controls, and monitoring and audit processes to protect the Company from internal and external vulnerabilities and to comply with consumer privacy laws in the areas in which we operate. Further, we limit retention of certain data, encrypt certain data and otherwise protect information to comply with consumer privacy laws in the areas in which we operate.

Board of Directors and Corporate Governance

The Company also has a cross-functional group of representatives from several departments that comprise the Privacy Committee, which meets and discusses information at least quarterly related to cybersecurity and privacy compliance at the Company, including training, policies, and trends. We also use, among other things, commercially available third parties including vendors, cybersecurity protection systems, software, tools and monitoring to provide security for processing, transmission and storage of protected information and data. The systems currently used for transmission and approval of payment card transactions, and the technology utilized in payment cards themselves, all of which can put payment card data at risk, meet standards set by the payment card industry.

The Company has a global cybersecurity training program that requires all employees with access to the Company networks to participate in regular and mandatory training on how to be aware of, and help defend against, cybersecurity risks. Also, the Company regularly tests the efficacy of its training efforts as well as its systems to assess vulnerabilities to cybersecurity risks, including tabletop incident response exercises. We also regularly review our privacy policies to confirm compliance with applicable data privacy regulations.

**The Board's Role in Oversight of Sustainability Matters**

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, pursuant to its charter, has responsibility for oversight of our sustainability initiatives and strategy. We also have a management-level Sustainability Oversight Committee that is comprised of diverse representatives from multiple business functions within the organization and led by our Chief Legal Officer. The Sustainability Oversight Committee is responsible for setting our sustainability strategy and long-term objectives and providing regular reports to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Our goal is to drive value for stakeholders and our business.

**The Board's Role in Oversight of Human Capital Management Matters**

The Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee, pursuant to its charter, has responsibility for oversight of the Company's human capital management strategy and policies, including, but not limited to those policies and strategies regarding workplace inclusion and safety. The Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee receives updates from senior management throughout the year on key talent metrics for the overall workforce, including metrics related to workplace inclusion and also receives reports on the Company's recruiting, training and education, talent acquisition and career development programs.

Director Independence and New York Stock Exchange Requirements

**Director Independence**

Under our Independence Guidelines, to be considered independent, a director must be determined to have no material relationship with the Company other than as a director. Under the New York Stock Exchange (the "**NYSE**") Listed Company Manual, no director qualifies as independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the Company.

A member of the Audit Committee is considered independent as long as he or she (i) does not accept any consulting, advisory, or compensatory fee from the Company, other than as a director or committee member; (ii) is not an affiliated person of the Company or its subsidiaries; and (iii) otherwise meets the independence requirements of the NYSE and the Company's Independence Guidelines. The Board has affirmatively determined that all members of the Audit Committee are independent under our Independence Guidelines, the NYSE listing standards, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "**Exchange Act**") and SEC rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the heightened standards required for Audit Committee members, and its charter.

The Board has affirmatively determined that each member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee is "independent" under our Independence Guidelines, the NYSE listing standards, the Exchange Act and SEC rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the respective charters of such committees. In addition, all members of the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee meet the heightened independence standards of the NYSE.

Our Independence Guidelines are posted on our website at www.rollins.com under the section titled "*Investors – Corporate Governance – Governance Documents*" and include categorical standards for determining independence in specified situations.

Board of Directors and Corporate Governance

**Nonmaterial Relationships**

The Board reviewed the following relationships between the independent members of the Board, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand:

1. Susan R. Bell and Patrick J. Gunning serve on the Boards of RPC, Inc. and Marine Products Corporation. These companies are controlled by the Significant Shareholder Group as defined below.

2. Donald P. Carson was an executive officer of entities controlled by Gary W. Rollins and the Rollins family at various times from 2003 to 2022. He was a director of two such entities and served as such from 2003 to 2025. From 2018 to 2022, he was a paid consultant to one of these entities.

As required by the Independence Guidelines, the Board unanimously concluded that the above-listed relationships would not affect the independent judgment of the independent directors based on their experience, character and independent means, and therefore do not preclude an independence determination. All current and nominated non-management directors have been determined by the Board to be independent, other than Ms. Rollins and Mr. Timothy Rollins.

Director Criteria and Qualifications

Under Delaware law, there are no statutory criteria or qualifications for directors. The Board has prescribed no criteria or qualifications at this time. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of director candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has discretion in its decision-making. This discretion would extend to how the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee might consider a director candidate in a particular instance – whether in terms of independence, experience, strength of character, mature judgment, technical skills, age and to the extent to which the individual would fill a present need on the Board, or other considerations. However, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee acts under the guidance of our Corporate Governance Guidelines approved by the Board of Directors and posted on our website at www.rollins.com under the section titled "*Investors – Corporate Governance – Governance Document*s."

Director Selection and Screening Process

The Board believes that it should preserve maximum flexibility in order to select directors with sound judgment and other desirable qualities. Under the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board is responsible for selecting nominees for election to the Board. The Board has delegated the screening process of director nominees for nomination to the Board and service on the committees of the Board to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for determining the appropriate skills and characteristics required of Board members in the context of the current make-up of the Board. This determination takes into account all factors which the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers appropriate, such as independence, experience, strength of character, mature judgment, technical skills, age, and the extent to which the individual would fill a present need on the Board.

Director Onboarding and Continuing Education

New directors are required to participate in an orientation program that includes background materials and meetings with senior management. All directors are encouraged to stay abreast of developing trends applicable to the Company's business and specific to service as a director. Directors may be expected to participate in continuing educational programs relating to our Company's business, corporate governance or other issues pertaining to their directorships in order to maintain the necessary level of expertise to perform their responsibilities as directors. The Company has a Director Continuing Education Policy and also provides all directors with membership in the National Association of Corporate Directors.

Director **Compensation**

Overview of the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program

Members of the Board who are not employees ("**Non-Employee Directors**") receive compensation for their service. The compensation program for our Non-Employee Directors is intended to provide a total compensation package that enables us to attract and retain qualified and experienced individuals to serve as directors and to align our directors' interests with those of our shareholders. All Non-Employee Directors are also entitled to reimbursement of expenses for all services as a director, including reasonable travel expenses incurred in connection with required in-person attendance at board and committee meetings, committee participation, or special assignments.

The Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee annually reviews each element of our Non-Employee Director compensation program and the total amount paid thereunder and makes recommendations to the Board. In addition, at the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee's direction, Mercer (US) LLC ("**Mercer**"), the Committee's independent executive compensation advisory firm, provides a competitive analysis of director compensation levels, practices, and design features as compared to the general market as well as our compensation peer group.

2025 Annual Non-Employee Director Compensation Program

Under the Director Compensation Program in effect in 2025, our Non-Employee Directors received an annual cash retainer in the amount of $100,000 and an annual equity award consisting of restricted stock with a fair value of $150,000, which stock is vested when issued but must be held for a period of one (1) year from the date of such grant and until such director is in compliance with their ownership requirement under the Non-Employee Director Stock Ownership Guidelines. Committee Chairpersons also received additional annual cash retainers. All cash retainers are payable in equal quarterly installments in arrears, and the equity awards are paid following the Annual Meeting. For each Non-Employee Director who is elected or appointed for the first time, the first quarterly installment of the annual cash retainers will be paid for the first quarter that ends on or after the date of his or her initial election or appointment, prorated based on service during the quarter.

The following table sets forth the 2025 Non-Employee Director Compensation Program:

Proposal 1:

**Election of Directors**

Overview

Our Board of Directors is currently composed of twelve members. At the Annual Meeting, nine director nominees are up for election this year. Each director's term continues until the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2027 or until the election and qualification of his or her successor, or such director's earlier death or resignation. The nominees for election at the 2026 Annual Meeting are all current directors of the Company, other than Mr. Timothy Rollins. Three other individuals serve as directors but are not standing for re-election because their terms as directors extend past this Annual Meeting pursuant to provisions of the Company's Amended and Restated By-Laws, which previously provided for the election of directors for staggered terms, with each director serving a three-year term; however, one-year terms for all directors will be phased in by 2027, and the Board will be declassified at that time, with all directors subject to nomination and re-election for one-year terms at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Nominees

At the Annual Meeting, Messrs. Carson, Donahue, Gahlhoff, Gunning, Morrison, T. Rollins and Wilson, and Ms. Bell and Ms. Sams will be nominated to serve as directors to be elected for a one-year term expiring in 2027. Unless authority is withheld, the proxy holders will vote for the election of each director nominee named above. Although management does not contemplate the possibility, in the event any nominee is not a candidate or is unable to serve as director at the time of the election, unless authority is withheld, the proxies will be voted for any nominee who shall be designated by the present Board of Directors and recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to fill such vacancy.

***Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the director nominees above.***<br>

Audit **Matters**

Report of the Audit Committee

Management is responsible for the Company's system of internal control over financial reporting, the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and the financial reporting process, including management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting ("**ICFR**").

The Company's independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an integrated independent audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements and management reports on ICFR in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("**PCAOB**") and for issuing reports thereon. The Audit Committee's responsibility is generally to monitor and oversee these processes, as described in the Audit Committee Charter. It is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company's financial statements are complete and accurate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; that is the responsibility of management. The Audit Committee presently consists of four independent directors, all of whom are considered financially literate under NYSE rules.

In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the year ended December 31, 2025, the Audit Committee:

Proposal 2:**Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

Overview

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm to audit our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. During fiscal years 2023, 2024 and 2025, Deloitte & Touche LLP served as our independent registered public accounting firm. Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to attend the annual meeting and will have the opportunity to respond to appropriate questions and, if they desire, to make a statement.

See "Audit Matters—Independent Public Registered Accounting Firm" for additional information regarding Deloitte & Touche LLP and fees paid to them in 2025 and 2024.

Although we are not required to seek ratification of this appointment, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors believes it is appropriate to do so. If shareholders do not ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the current appointment will stand, but the Audit Committee will consider the shareholder action in determining whether to retain Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for future fiscal years.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the annual meeting on this matter is required for approval of this proposal. If you own shares through a bank, broker or other holder of record, you must instruct your bank, broker or other holder of record how to vote in order for them to vote your shares so that your vote can be counted on this proposal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the 2026 fiscal year.***<br>

Proposal 3:**Advisory (Non-Binding) Vote on Executive Compensation**

Overview

As required under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act"), our Board of Directors is submitting a "Say on Pay" proposal for shareholder consideration. While the vote on executive compensation is nonbinding and solely advisory in nature, our Board of Directors and the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee value the opinion of our shareholders and will review the voting results and seek to determine the causes of any significant negative voting result to better understand issues and concerns not previously presented. shareholders who want to communicate with the Board of Directors or management should refer to "Director Communications" on page [15](#iba43c03dc2c146ef94b80cd7ea6422d0_58) of this Proxy Statement for additional information.

Executive compensation is an important matter for our shareholders. The core of our executive compensation philosophy and practice continues to be to pay for performance. Our executive officers are compensated in a manner consistent with our strategy, competitive practice, sound corporate governance principles, and shareholder interests and concerns. We believe our compensation program is strongly aligned with the long-term interests of our shareholders. Compensation of our executive officers is designed to enable us to attract and retain talented and experienced senior executives to lead us successfully in a competitive environment. Our named executive officers are identified on page [35](#iba43c03dc2c146ef94b80cd7ea6422d0_133), and the compensation of the named executive officers, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis ("CD&A") is described beginning on page [38](#iba43c03dc2c146ef94b80cd7ea6422d0_136). The CD&A section of this Proxy Statement provides additional details on our executive compensation program, including our compensation philosophy and objectives and the fiscal year 2025 compensation of the named executive officers.

We are asking shareholders to vote on the following resolution:

"**RESOLVED**, that the compensation paid to the Company's named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the related narrative discussion contained in the Company's 2026 Proxy Statement, is hereby approved."

As indicated above, the shareholder vote on this resolution will not be binding on us or the Board of Directors and will not be construed as overruling any decision by us or the Board. The vote will not be construed to create or imply any change to the fiduciary duties of the Board, or to create or imply any additional fiduciary duties for us or the Board.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the annual meeting on this matter is required for approval of this proposal. If you own shares through a bank, broker or other holder of record, you must instruct your bank, broker or other holder of record how to vote in order for them to vote your shares so that your vote can be counted on this proposal.

Currently, we hold shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation every three years, and the next such vote after this year's vote is scheduled to occur in 2029.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the approval, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the accompanying compensation tables, and the related narrative disclosure.*** <br>

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

**General Compensation Objectives and Guidelines**

The Company is engaged in a highly competitive industry. The success of the Company depends on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified and motivated executives. In order to accomplish this objective, we have endeavored to structure our executive compensation program in a fashion that gives our Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee the flexibility to take into account our operating performance and the individual performance of our executive officers. The Committee, with the assistance of its compensation consultant, used peer group benchmarking (as described under the heading titled "*Peer Group Benchmarking Analysis*" on page [47](#iba43c03dc2c146ef94b80cd7ea6422d0_1281)) to assess the comparability of the Company's pay practices to confirm that the total compensation for the Company's executive officers is competitive with marketplace practices.

The Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee endorses the philosophy that executive compensation should reflect Company performance and the contribution of executive officers to that performance. Our compensation policy is designed to achieve three fundamental objectives:

• attract and retain qualified executives;

• motivate performance to achieve Company objectives; and

• align the interests of our executives with the long-term interests of the Company's shareholders.

In pursuing our objectives, we strive to provide a balanced approach to compensation policies and practices which does not promote excessive risk-taking.

The Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee recognizes that there are many intangibles involved in evaluating performance and in motivating performance, and that determining an appropriate compensation level is a highly subjective endeavor.

Pursuant to our compensation philosophy, the total annual compensation of our executive officers is primarily made up of the following three elements:

• base salary (fixed compensation), which is an important element to attract, retain and motivate our executives;

• annual performance-based cash incentive compensation (variable compensation), which is valuable in recognizing and rewarding Company achievement; and

• grants of equity-based awards such as restricted stock (variable compensation) and performance share units (variable compensation), which make our executives "think like owners" and, therefore, align their interests with those of our shareholders.

In addition, we provide retirement compensation plans, group welfare benefits and certain perquisites.

We believe that all elements of our executives' total compensation provide highly motivational incentives that link the pay of our executives to the performance of our Company and enable us to attract and retain highly qualified and motivated executives in our very competitive market.

Fiscal 2025 Named Executive Officer Compensation Details

**Compensation Elements**

The Company provides both fixed (salary) and variable (cash and equity incentive) compensation to its named executive officers. The following table sets forth information regarding each of the three core elements of compensation for the executive officers in 2025, including a description of each element. In addition to these three core elements, the named executive officers participate in certain health and retirement plans, as well as receive certain perquisites and personal benefits, described in more detail under "*Other Compensation*" below.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Core Compensation Element** | **Description** |
| Base Salary | Fixed cash compensation based on each executive officer's role, responsibilities, competitive market positioning, and individual performance. |
| Performance-Based Cash Incentive | Performance-based incentive cash compensation with target award amounts for each executive officer. Actual bonus amounts may be lower or higher than target based on the achievement of certain Company performance goals. |
| Equity Incentive | Grants of stock-based awards in the form of time-lapsed restricted stock and performance share units. |

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The graphics below reflect the approximate general distribution of the three core elements of compensation earned or awarded for fiscal 2025 by our CEO, and on average, by our named executive officers under the Company's 2025 Executive Bonus Plan and 2018 Stock Incentive Plan:

The numbers presented in the charts above are calculated in accordance with the presentation in the "*Summary Compensation Table*" on page [51](#iba43c03dc2c146ef94b80cd7ea6422d0_169). Accordingly, the cash incentive component consists of the cash bonuses actually paid out for 2025 performance, but the RSAs and PSUs are valued at fair value on the grant date. Actual value ultimately received by the named executive officers ("**NEOs**") with respect to these awards may be greater or lesser than the grant date fair value. Fixed compensation presented in the chart consists of base salary and does not include elements presented under the "All Other Compensation" columns in the "*Summary Compensation Table*." The numbers presented for "Other Named Executive Officers" are averaged for simplicity of presentation, but the mix for individual NEOs varies depending upon his or her role and responsibilities, as the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee has deemed appropriate.

**Base Salary**

Base salary represents the fixed portion of the three core elements described above and is an important element of compensation intended to attract and retain qualified executives. The Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee reviews the base salaries of our executive officers each year as part of its annual review of our executive compensation program, with input from Mercer, our independent compensation consultant, and our CEO (except with respect to his own base salary). In making its determinations, the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee gives consideration to our operating performance for the prior fiscal year and the individual executive's performance. Base salary increases are not automatic or guaranteed.

In 2025, the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee adjusted the base salaries of the Company's named executive officers as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Named Executive Officer** | **2024 Salary** | **2025 Salary** | **% Increase** |
| **GARY W. ROLLINS** | $1449000 | $1449000 | —% |
| **JOHN F. WILSON** | $400000 | $600000 | 50.0% |
| **JERRY E. GAHLHOFF, JR.** | $1045000 | $1100000 | 5.3% |
| **KENNETH D. KRAUSE** | $730000 | $765000 | 4.8% |
| **ELIZABETH B. CHANDLER** | $555000 | $578000 | 4.1% |

---

Mr. Wilson's salary was increased from $400,000 to $600,000 in connection with his transition from Vice Chairman to Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, and was based on the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee's evaluation of his performance and the Committee's compensation consultant's benchmarking data. Mr. Gahlhoff, Mr. Krause and Ms. Chandler received merit increases to their base salaries of 5.3%, 4.8% and 4.1%, respectively, based on the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee's evaluation of their performance and the Committee's compensation consultant's benchmarking data.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

**Performance-Based Cash Incentive**

In February 2025, the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee approved the terms of the Rollins, Inc. 2025 Executive Bonus Plan for its named executive officers (the "**Executive Bonus Plan**"), which replaced the 2024 Executive Bonus Plan. Under the Executive Bonus Plan, the named executive officers have an opportunity to earn bonuses of up to a certain percent of each individual's annual base salary upon the achievement of performance goals approved by the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee. Such performance goals for the 2025 Executive Bonus Plan consisted of the following targeted financial measures:

• EBITDA to plan; and

• Revenue to plan.

The performance goals are pre-established by the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee for all named executive officers and measured annually. The terms of the Executive Bonus Plan allow adjustments by the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee to performance results to include or exclude, as appropriate, the impact from significant business or product line acquisitions or sales and/or unusual or exceptional charges or revenue. We believe that the incentive-related provisions provide performance incentives that are beneficial to the Company and its shareholders by aligning pay with Company performance. The terms of the Executive Bonus Plan and related award opportunities are set subjectively by the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee after consultation with management and the Committee's compensation consultant. Mr. Rollins did not receive an award under the Executive Bonus Plan in 2025, due to his transition from Executive Chairman of the Board to Executive Chairman Emeritus.

Set forth below is the 2025 target payout opportunity with respect to each of the performance measures, expressed as a percentage of annual base salary, for each of our named executive officers:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Named Executive Officer** | **Target Bonus<br>Opportunity for<br>EBITDA Element** | **Target Bonus<br>Opportunity for<br>Revenues Element** | **Total<br>Target Bonus<br>Opportunity** |
| **GARY W. ROLLINS** |  |  |  |
| **JOHN F. WILSON** | 50% | 25% | 75% |
| **JERRY E. GAHLHOFF, JR.** | 90% | 60% | 150% |
| **KENNETH D. KRAUSE** | 60% | 40% | 100% |
| **ELIZABETH B. CHANDLER** | 45% | 30% | 75% |

---

For each of the two elements of the bonus, threshold performance – which requires achieving 95% of the performance goal under the Company's plan – results in a payout equal to 75% of the target bonus opportunity. Performance that exceeds the Company's plan targets allows the officer to receive payouts exceeding the target bonus opportunity, in an amount scaling up to 125% of the target bonus opportunity, if actual performance equals 105% or more of the performance goal under the Company's plan. If threshold performance is not achieved for a financial performance measure, there is no payout for that measure. For further information regarding the range of bonus opportunities granted in 2025, see "*Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2025*" on page [53](#iba43c03dc2c146ef94b80cd7ea6422d0_172). Performance that falls between the threshold, target, and maximum opportunities results in a proportionate payout.

**EBITDA to Plan Performance Goal** 

In December 2024, the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee elected to use EBITDA rather than pre-tax profit in order to minimize the occurrence of unusual or exceptional charges. The Company's EBITDA performance was $854.228 million, which was 100.1% of the target performance goal. Therefore, each named executive officer received 100% of the target bonus opportunity for this element of the plan.

**Revenue to Plan Performance Goal**

This target performance goal in 2025 was a 9.3% year-over-year increase in revenue. The actual revenues achieved for 2025 represented a year-over-year increase in the Company's revenue of 11%, which reflected a 101.6% of plan achievement for 2025. Therefore, each named executive officer received 105% of the target bonus opportunity for the revenue element of the plan.

In addition to any bonuses earned under the Executive Bonus Plan, the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee has the authority to award discretionary bonuses. No discretionary bonuses were awarded for 2025.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

**Equity-Based Awards**

Pursuant to the terms of the Company's 2018 Stock Incentive Plan, the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights and any other type of award valued by reference to (or otherwise based on) shares, including, without limitation, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance accelerated restricted stock, performance stock and performance units. Equity-based awards are generally used by the Company as a tool to encourage retention and align the interest of our executives with those of our shareholders. Awards under the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan are purely discretionary and may or may not be granted in any given fiscal year. In 2025, the equity component of compensation for named executive officers (as well as certain other employees) continued to include grants of time-lapse restricted stock ("**RSAs**") and performance share units ("**PSUs**"), as in past years. The RSAs will vest pro rata over a three-year period. The PSUs will cliff vest after three years based upon the Company's successful achievement of certain financial performance goals and feature a relative TSR component, as described in more detail below. This mix of equity is designed to continue providing alignment of our executive compensation program with the interests of our shareholders and link longer term compensation of our executives to longer term performance of the Company.

Equity awards are discretionary and are generally granted to our named executive officers in the first quarter of the applicable fiscal year. In certain circumstances, including the hiring or promotion of an officer, the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee may approve grants to be effective at other times. Mr. Rollins did not receive an equity-based award in 2025, due to his transition from Executive Chairman of the Board to Executive Chairman Emeritus. The Company does not currently grant stock options to its employees. The Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee did not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity awards in 2025, and the Company does not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

The Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee granted time-lapse restricted stock awards and performance share units to our named executive officers in 2025, as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **2025 Grants of<br>Time-Lapse Restricted<br>Stock Awards** | **2025 Grants of**<br>**Performance Share**<br>**Units**<sup>(1)</sup> | **Total 2025<br>Grants of Equity** |
| **GARY W. ROLLINS** |  |  |  |
| **JOHN F. WILSON** | 11750 | 4500 | 16250 |
| **JERRY E. GAHLHOFF, JR.** | 85750 | 32250 | 118000 |
| **KENNETH D. KRAUSE** | 33750 | 16875 | 50625 |
| **ELIZABETH B. CHANDLER** | 14250 | 8625 | 22875 |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> The number of PSUs shown in this column represents the total number of shares that would cliff vest assuming the Revenue CAGR and Adjusted EBITDA Margin goals are met at the target level, and the TSR would cliff vest at target level. The vesting conditions of the PSUs are described in more detail below under "*Terms of PSUs*."

The amount of the aggregate stock-based awards to our named executive officers in any given year is subjective and is influenced by many factors, including consultation with management and compensation consultants. The amount of each grant to our named executive officers is influenced in part by the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee's assessment of each individual's respective contributions to achievement of the Company's long-term goals and objectives. In evaluating individual performance for these purposes, the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee considers the overall contributions of executive management as a group and the Committee's assessment of each individual's relative contribution to that performance rather than specific aspects of each individual's performance over a short-term period. It is our expectation to continue yearly grants of restricted stock awards and performance share units to selected executives, although we reserve the right to modify or discontinue this or any of our other compensation practices at any time.

*Terms of RSAs*. Prior to January 2022, all of our time-lapse restricted stock awards had the same features and the shares vested one-fifth per year beginning on the second anniversary of the grant date. For awards of time-lapse restricted stock granted in 2022, the shares vest one-fifth per year beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. For awards of time-lapse restricted stock granted in 2023, the shares vest one-fourth per year beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. For awards of time-lapse restricted stock granted in 2024, 2025 and 2026, the shares will vest one-third per year beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. Time-lapse restricted shares have full voting and dividend rights with dividends paid quarterly. However, until the shares vest, they cannot be sold, transferred or pledged. Should the executive leave our employment or move to a lesser position for any reason prior to the vesting dates (other than due to death, disability or a change in control), the unvested shares will be forfeited unless the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee decides otherwise. In the event of a "change in control" as determined by the Board, all unvested restricted shares shall vest immediately.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

*Terms of PSUs.* PSUs will cliff vest and convert to shares of common stock at the end of a three-year performance period, if the performance and market targets are met and if the recipient has remained continuously employed by the Company through that date in a position of equivalent or greater responsibility, and subject to earlier vesting as provided under the CIC Agreements for officers who are party to them. However, the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee has retained discretion for certain determinations, and whether targets are met under the PSUs will be determined by the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee in its discretion. The targets are difficult but achievable, and it is even more challenging to obtain the maximum level.

The 2025 PSUs are composed of 3 components, as described below.

1.**Revenue CAGR component.** Payout of this component at the threshold, target and maximum levels requires that the Company achieve 3-year revenue CAGR (compound annual growth rate) in its revenues within a table set forth in the award agreement. 3-year revenue CAGR (expressed as a percentage) is calculated by first dividing revenue for fiscal year 2027 by revenue for fiscal year 2024, then raising that quotient to the power of 1/3, and then subtracting 1.

2.**Adjusted EBITDA Margin component.** Payout of this component at the threshold, target and maximum levels requires that the Company achieve an aggregate adjusted EBITDA margin for the 3 fiscal years 2025, 2026, and 2027, within the table set forth in the award agreement. Adjusted EBITDA for this purpose is as defined in the Company's SEC filings for the relevant periods. 3-year aggregate adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing the sum of the 3 fiscal years' adjusted EBITDA by the sum of the corresponding 3 fiscal years Revenues. A reconciliation of 2025 adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin to our 2025 and 2024 GAAP net income is set forth in our Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as well as in Appendix A of this proxy statement.

3.**TSR component.** Payout of this component occurs at the threshold, target and maximum levels if the Company's 3-year Total Shareholder Return ("**TSR**") for fiscal years 2025-2027, compared to the 500 companies that make up the S&P 500 on the first day of the three year plan ("**3-year Relative TSR**"), falls within the table set forth in the award agreement. TSR is calculated as the proﬁt or loss from net share price change over the period, including reinvestment of dividends.

The table below shows the number of shares that would be earned under each component for each NEO assuming target-level performance.

**Target Level Payouts (in Shares) of 2025 PSUs by Component**

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **Revenue<br>CAGR** | **Adjusted<br>EBITDA Margin** | **TSR** | **Total** |
| **GARY W. ROLLINS** |  |  |  |  |
| **JOHN F. WILSON** | 1500 | 1500 | 1500 | 4500 |
| **JERRY E. GAHLHOFF, JR.** | 10750 | 10750 | 10750 | 32250 |
| **KENNETH D. KRAUSE** | 5625 | 5625 | 5625 | 16875 |
| **ELIZABETH B. CHANDLER** | 2875 | 2875 | 2875 | 8625 |

---

*Termination of Employment.* Except in the case of death or disability, and except as provided to the contrary in the CIC Agreements which are described below (for those officers who are party to them). PSUs are forfeited in their entirety if the recipient's employment with the Company terminates for any reason prior to February 20, 2028. However, if termination of employment is due to death or disability, then the Revenue CAGR and the Adjusted EBITDA Margin components (but not the TSR component) will vest and shares will be paid at target level, whether the performance goals are met or not, and without regard to the level at which such performance goals may be met.

*Dividend Equivalents; No Voting Rights.* PSU awards also include the right to "Dividend Equivalents" with respect to the underlying shares. Dividend equivalents are accrued over the performance period, in shares, based upon target payout level, subject to a true-up at the end of the three year cycle. Accrued Dividend Equivalents will be paid out upon vesting of the PSUs, but no such Dividend Equivalents will be payable to the extent the awards fail to vest or are forfeited, or the performance goals are not met. PSUs confer no voting rights with respect to the underlying shares prior to vesting and payout.

The 2024 PSUs, which remain outstanding and are included in the "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End" table below, have substantially the same terms as the 2025 PSUs, other than the share levels and performance targets.

**2023 PSU Award Performance Period Results**

The fiscal 2023-2025 performance share awards granted in February 2023 provide for the issuance of shares of our common stock at the end of a three-year period based on the achievement of the Company's revenue CAGR in its revenues, adjusted EBITDA margin, and TSR goals over that period, as follows:

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Threshold** | **Target** | **Maximum** | **Threshold<br>Payout** | **Target<br>Payout** | **Maximum<br>Payout** |
| Revenue CAGR | 5% | 7-7.9% | 10% | 20% | 100% | 200% |
| Adjusted EBITDA | 19% | 21.0-21.9% | 24% | 20% | 100% | 200% |
| TSR | 50% | 65-74.9% | 75% | 80% | 100% | 200% |

---

The performance period for the 2023 performance share awards ended on December 31, 2025. Over the three year period, the Company achieved an average of 11.7% CAGR, averaged an adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.6%, and the Company's TSR relative to the S&P 500 was 66%. The Adjusted EBITDA used in the margin calculation for each of the years 2023, 2024, and 2025 was calculated in the same manner described in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for each of those years; a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income is included in each such 10-K. The NEO's earned the following shares under the award:

Other Compensation

**Health and Retirement Plans**

The named executive officers all participate in the Company's regular employee benefit programs, including the 401(k) Plan with Company match, stock, group life insurance, group medical and dental coverage and other group benefit plans. The Company also maintains a non-qualified retirement plan (the "**Deferred Compensation Plan**") for our executives and highly compensated employees. The Deferred Compensation Plan provides other benefits as described below under the section titled "*Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation*."

**Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits**

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

**Executive Employment Arrangements**

The initial terms and conditions of employment for certain of our named executive officers are set forth in written employment offer letters. Also, on February 11, 2025, the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee approved Change-in-Control Severance and Restrictive Covenant Agreements (the "**CIC Agreements**") with each of Jerry E. Gahlhoff, Jr., Kenneth D. Krause, Elizabeth B. Chandler and Thomas D. Tesh. The CIC Agreements are designed to provide for stability and continuity of management in the event of any actual or threatened change in control, encourage executive officers to remain in service after a change in control and ensure that executive officers are able to devote their entire attention to maximizing shareholder value in the event of a change in control. In order to receive benefits under the CIC Agreement, the executive officer is required to comply with certain restrictive covenants, which further protects the Company's interests. The Agreements supersede other outstanding agreements to the extent relevant, and they may not be modified without a written agreement that is signed by the executive officer as well as the Company.

Each CIC Agreement provides that:

• In the event of a termination of the executive officer's employment by the Company without "cause" or by the executive for "good reason", in either case within twenty-four (24) months following a "change in control," as such terms are defined in the agreement, the executive officer will be eligible to receive the following benefits, subject to his or her execution and non-revocation of a release of claims and compliance with the restrictive covenants outlined below:

–a lump sum cash severance payment equal to a multiple of the executive officer's base salary and target cash bonus (3x for Mr. Gahlhoff, Jr.; 2x for Mr. Krause; and 1.5x for Ms. Chandler and Mr. Tesh),

–a pro-rated bonus payment for the year of termination,

–payment of employer-portion of health plan premium for 18 months, and

–vesting of PSUs based on assumed achievement of target level of performance.

• The executive officer will be subject to certain restrictive covenants following his or her termination of employment for any reason, including:

–restrictions on the disclosure and use of confidential information,

–2-year post-employment non-competition covenant,

–2-year post-employment non-solicitation of protected customers covenant,

–2-year post-employment non-recruitment of employees and independent contractors covenant, and

–a non-disparagement obligation.

The Company also entered into an indemnification agreement with each of its directors, Mr. Krause, Ms. Chandler and Mr. Tesh, each of which provides that:

• In general, the Company will, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to certain limitations, indemnify the executive officer or director against all costs, expenses, liabilities and losses actually and reasonably incurred or suffered in the defense or settlement of, or otherwise in connection with any threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit, arbitration or proceeding or any inquiry or investigation the defense or settlement of any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she is or may become a party or a witness or other participant based upon, arising from, relating to, or by reason of the fact that he or she is, was, shall be, or shall have been a director and/or officer of the Company or is or was serving, shall serve, or shall have served at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent.

• The indemnification agreement does not exclude any other rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which the executive officer or director may be entitled, including any rights arising under the Company's articles, by-laws, law, agreement, policy of insurance or similar protection, or vote of shareholders or directors.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Setting Process

**Role of the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee**

Under its charter, the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

• reviewing our overall executive compensation philosophy and strategy, including base salary, performance-based incentive cash compensation, and equity-based grants, to confirm that the strategy supports our compensation policy; and

• reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the executive officers, including the CEO, and evaluating each such executive officer's performance in light of such goals and objectives, and setting each executive officer's compensation based on this evaluation.

The Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee is composed of four non-employee directors, Mr. Paul D. Donahue, Mr. Dale E. Jones, Mr. Gregory B. Morrison (Chairperson) and Ms. Louise S. Sams, each of whom is independent.

The Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee has the authority, in its sole discretion, to retain or obtain the advice of any compensation consultant, legal counselor or other advisor to assist the Committee in the performance of its duties, and shall be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such compensation consultant, legal counsel or other advisor so retained. The Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee may also, from time to time, and in its discretion, formally delegate all or a portion of its authority with respect to the executive officers to subcommittees; provided that such subcommittees must meet the Committee's composition requirements set forth in its charter or under any applicable federal or state laws or NYSE requirements.

**Role of Management**

The Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee solicits input from the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer and President with respect to the performance of the other executive officers and their compensation levels. The Vice President of Human Resources also provides the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee with input as it pertains to the compensation of all executive officers.

**The Role of Shareholder Say-on-Pay Votes**

We provide our shareholders with the opportunity to cast a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation (a "say-on-pay proposal") every three years. At our annual meeting of shareholders held in April 2023, a substantial majority of the votes cast on the say-on-pay proposal were voted in favor of the proposal. The Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee believes this affirms the shareholders' support of our approach to executive compensation. The shareholders voted to hold a say-on-pay advisory vote on executive compensation every three years, and the Board resolved to accept the shareholders' recommendation. As a result, shareholders are being asked to vote on the Company's non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation at the Company 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, as described under the section titled "*Proposal 3: Advisory (Non-Binding) Vote on Executive Compensation*" on page [34](#iba43c03dc2c146ef94b80cd7ea6422d0_832). The Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee will continue to consider the outcome of our say-on-pay votes when making future compensation decisions for our executive officers.

**Role of the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee Consultant**

Since 2021, Mercer has served as the Company's independent compensation consultant. In selecting Mercer the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee reviewed information regarding the independence and potential conflicts of interest of Mercer. The Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee members took into account, among other things, the factors enumerated by the SEC and NYSE for evaluating compensation advisor independence, including, without limitation, the engagements and fees described below, and concluded that Mercer is independent and that no conflict of interest exists. Mercer attended all Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee meetings in 2025 and advised the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee with respect to 2025 executive compensation decisions, as well as provided benchmarking data to the Committee. The Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee at any time has sole authority to replace its compensation consultant, or from time to time, hire additional consultants, legal counsel and such other advisors as necessary to assist with the execution of its duties and responsibilities.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

During Mercer's engagement in 2025, Mercer reviewed the Company's director and executive officer compensation strategy and programs to confirm appropriateness and market-competitiveness. Mercer's fees for director and executive compensation consulting services provided to the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee in 2025 were $218,000. In addition, Mercer performed other, non-executive compensation work for the Company with total fees of $104,100.

**Peer Group Benchmarking Analysis**

As part of its executive compensation review for 2025, the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee asked Mercer to update the peer group that serves as a primary comparator group for assessing the competitiveness of the Company's executive compensation. As part of this process, Mercer recommended a peer group comprised of 17 companies, with each peer having revenue between approximately 1/3 to 2.5 times the Company's revenue. The appropriateness of the peer group was based on the industry, size, organizational type, and comparability of business complexity. The Peer Group companies generally had a majority of operations in the environmental and facilities services industry, and variations in their revenues, assets and market capitalization versus the Company were considered when the group was selected. Where possible, each company position was compared to industry data using functional counterparts or executives with similar roles at the peer companies, as well as compensation data disclosed in proxy statements filed in 2025.

The Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee considered the peer group benchmarking analysis provided by Mercer comparing the compensation components of salary, annual incentives, long-term incentives, and total compensation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers relative to pay programs of the selected peer group. The peer group is used as a reference point, but compensation paid at other companies is only one factor in the decision-making process. The Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee believes the Company's executive compensation program is fair, competitive with marketplace practices and effective in enhancing shareholder value.

The following companies were included in the Peer Group for 2025:

Policies Regarding Stock Ownership by Executive Officers

**Stock Ownership Guidelines**

We currently have Stock Ownership Guidelines (the "Guidelines") for our executive officers and other key executives as designated by the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee. The purpose of these Guidelines is to align the interests of our executives with the interests of our shareholders. The current Guidelines as determined by the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee include:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Title** | **Stock Ownership Requirements** |
| Executive Chairman Emeritus, Chairman of the Board and President and Chief Executive Officer | Ownership equal to 5 times base salary |
| Other Rollins, Inc. Officers, President of Orkin, LLC, and President of Rollins' Brands | Ownership equal to 3 times base salary |
| Division Presidents, Brand Presidents and Group Vice Presidents | Ownership equal to 2 times base salary |

---

Participants under the Guidelines have a period of five years to adhere to the Guidelines. Participants have their individual ownership amount established based upon their annual base salary at the time they became subject to the Guidelines and the Company's average closing common stock price for the prior 90-day period. Promotions into a different position category require recalculation of a Participant's ownership amounts, as appropriate.

Shares counted toward this requirement are based on shares beneficially owned by such participant (as beneficial ownership is defined by Rule 16a-1(a)(2) under the Exchange Act).

Once achieved, ownership of the amount under the Guidelines should be maintained for as long as the participant is subject to the Guidelines. All executive officers and other key executives as designated above are currently in compliance with the Guidelines as of the record date.

In addition, the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee has approved and adopted stock ownership guidelines applicable to our Non-Employee Directors. Information with respect to our non-employee directors' stock ownership guidelines is set forth in "*Non-Employee Director Stock Ownership Guidelines*" on page [21](#i43b60fa82c4942aa8234a7b6427daae4_706).

**Our Policies Regarding Hedging and Pledging**

Our insider trading policy, described in detail under "Insider Trading Policy", prohibits all employees, including named executive officers, and all directors, from selling short Company securities, and from purchasing or selling puts, calls, or other derivative securities at any time. Our policy also prohibits directors and named executive officers, and strongly discourages other employees, from pledging our securities or otherwise subjecting them to margin calls or the ability to be sold outside of the owner's control. Hedging of financial risk with respect to Company securities and similar monetization transactions are prohibited by our policy. The policy also requires our employees, including the named executive officers, and directors, to take responsibility for compliance with the policy by certain of their family members and affiliates under their control.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Clawback Policy

We have an executive clawback policy, adopted in 2023, and effective as of October 2, 2023, to recover certain erroneously awarded compensation received by our Section 16 officers on or after the effective date, in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement. This policy is intended to comply with the SEC and NYSE requirements. The policy requires mandatory recuperation of certain incentive-based compensation regardless of fault or involvement. Also, our executive bonus agreements contain a provision that provides that, among other things, if any bonus amount is paid as a result of misrepresented or inaccurate performance, the Company may require repayment of some or all of the excess bonus paid, subject to applicable laws. This recoupment policy reflects the Company's high ethical standards and strict compliance with accounting and other regulations applicable to public companies. As all incentives and awards remain within the discretion of the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee, the Committee also retains the ability to take any restatements or adjustments into account in subsequent years. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires in the case of accounting restatements that result from material non-compliance with SEC financial reporting requirements, that the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer must disgorge bonuses and other incentive-based compensation and profits on stock sales received during the 12-months following publication of the restated financials, if the non-compliance results from misconduct.

Tax Deductibility of Compensation

As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, starting with compensation payable in 2018, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the Company from deducting compensation, including performance-based compensation, in excess of $1,000,000 paid to certain executive officers. The Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee will continue to retain full discretion to award compensation packages that best attract, retain and reward successful executive officers. Therefore, the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee anticipates that it will award compensation that is not fully deductible under Section 162(m).

<sup>(1)</sup> The amounts reported in these columns represent the aggregate grant date fair value of restricted stock and performance share units awarded to each named executive officer under our 2018 Stock Incentive Plan during the fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, as applicable, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Because these values are determined as of the date of grant and based on certain assumptions, including assumptions regarding the outcome of certain performance and market conditions, actual values received by the NEOs may be lower or higher from the numbers presented here. Please refer to *Note 13 – Stockholders' Equity* to our consolidated financial statements contained in our 2025 Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2025, for a discussion of the assumptions used in these computations. The fair value presented for the PSUs assumes that the 3-year CAGR and the Adjusted EBITDA Margin portions of the award will cliff vest at target levels, and fair value for these portions of the PSUs was calculated by multiplying this target number of shares by the closing price on the grant date. A Monte Carlo simulation was used to value the TSR component of the award, since the TSR component is subject to a market condition, and this requires certain assumptions to be made. Significant assumptions used in the Monte Carlo valuation included volatility rate of 24.27% and a risk-free interest rate of 4.23%. If the maximum level of performance is achieved, the grant date fair values of the 2023 PSUs would be $1,605,900 for Gary W. Rollins; $294,415 for Mr. Wilson; $2,588,280 for Mr. Gahlhoff; $1,038,482 for Mr. Krause; and $297,196 for Ms. Chandler. If the maximum level of performance is achieved, the grant date fair values of the 2024 PSUs would be $2,116,258 for Gary W. Rollins; $3,040,365 for Mr. Gahlhoff; $1,609,605 for Mr. Krause; $298,075 for Mr. Wilson; and $417,305 for Ms. Chandler. If the maximum level of performance is achieved, the grant date fair values of the 2025 PSUs would be $394,980 for Mr. Wilson; $2,830,692 for Mr. Gahlhoff; $1,481,174 for Mr. Krause and $757,046 for Ms. Chandler.

<sup>(2)</sup> The amounts reported in this column represent bonuses paid under the Company's performance-based incentive cash compensation plan, which are accrued in the fiscal year earned and paid in the first quarter of the following fiscal year.

Non-Qualified **Deferred Compensation**

On June 13, 2005, the Company approved the Rollins, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the "**Deferred Compensation Plan**") that is designed to comply with the provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (including Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code). The Deferred Compensation Plan provides that participants may defer up to 50% of their base salary and up to 85% of their annual bonus with respect to any given plan year, subject to a $2,000 per plan year minimum. The Company may make discretionary contributions to participant accounts but has not done so since 2011. On February 11, 2025, the Company approved the Rollins, Inc. Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan (the "**Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan**", and collectively with the Deferred Compensation Plan, the "**Deferred Compensation Program**"). The Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan provides the Company will make a matching contribution with respect to each payment of "annual regular compensation" or "annual bonus payment" elected for deferral by the participant in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount of such deferrals subject to a maximum annual match credit of three percent (3%) of such payment of "annual regular compensation" or "annual bonus payment," respectively. The Deferred Compensation Program provides that employees eligible to participate in the Deferred Compensation Program include those who are both members of a group of management and/or highly compensated employees selected by the committee administering the Deferred Compensation Program. All of the executive officers are eligible to participate in the Company's Deferred Compensation Program. The table below sets forth the contributions made to the Deferred Compensation Program, the aggregate earnings in 2025 and the balances as of December 31, 2025 for each named executive officer under the Deferred Compensation Program:

<sup>(1)</sup> This column reports the actual amounts of base salary deferred by the named executive officers in 2025 under the Deferred Compensation Program, which is included in the "*Summary Compensation Table*" on page [51](#iba43c03dc2c146ef94b80cd7ea6422d0_169).

<sup>(2)</sup> This column reports earnings or losses on compensation that the named executive officers elected to defer under the Deferred Compensation Program. These amounts do not represent above-market or preferential earnings and therefore are not included in the "*Summary Compensation Table*" on page [51](#iba43c03dc2c146ef94b80cd7ea6422d0_169).

Under the Deferred Compensation Program, salary and bonus deferrals are fully vested. Any discretionary contributions are subject to vesting in accordance with the matching contribution-vesting schedule set forth in the Rollins 401(k) Savings Plan in which a participant participates.

Accounts are credited with hypothetical earnings, and/or debited with hypothetical losses, based on the performance of certain "Measurement Funds." Account values are calculated as if the funds from deferrals and Company credits had been converted into shares or other ownership units of selected Measurement Funds by purchasing (or selling, where relevant) such shares or units at the current purchase price of the relevant Measurement Fund at the time of the participant's selection. Deferred Compensation Plan benefits are unsecured general obligations of the Company to the participants, and these obligations rank in parity with the Company's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Company has established a "rabbi trust," which it uses to voluntarily set aside amounts to indirectly fund any obligations under the Deferred Compensation Plan. To the extent that the Company's obligations under the Deferred Compensation Plan exceed assets available under the trust, the Company would be required to seek additional funding sources to fund its liability under the Deferred Compensation Program.

Generally, the Deferred Compensation Program provides for distributions of any deferred amounts upon the earliest to occur of a participant's death, disability, retirement or other termination of employment (a "**Termination Event**"). However, for any deferrals of salary and bonus (but not Company contributions), participants would be entitled to designate a distribution date which is prior to a Termination Event. Generally, the Deferred Compensation Program allows a participant to elect to receive distributions under the Deferred Compensation Program in installments or lump-sum payments.

401(k) **Plan**

The Company maintains the Rollins 401(k) Savings Plan, a defined contribution qualified retirement plan (the "**401(k) Plan**"). Participants in the 401(k) Plan may make before-tax and Roth after-tax contributions, subject to IRS limits, and the Company makes matching contributions. Participants may also make rollover contributions to the 401(k) Plan. Previously, participants were permitted to make non-Roth after-tax contributions. The full amount of a participant's vested benefit is payable upon his termination of employment, retirement, total and permanent disability, death or age 59½. The forms of benefit payment under the 401(k) Plan are dependent upon the vested account balance. If the participant's vested account balance is greater than $1,000 up to and including $7,000 upon termination of employment, a participant may roll their distribution into another qualified plan or an individual retirement plan of their choice, or it will be rolled into a Prudential individual retirement account. If the account balance is equal to or less than $1,000, the participant may roll their vested balance into another qualified plan or take a lump sum distribution. If the participant's account balance is greater than $7,000 upon termination of employment, they can leave their funds in the Plan, take a full or partial lump sum distribution, take systematic distributions or roll their vested assets into another qualified plan or individual retirement account. A participant may withdraw before-tax and Roth contributions upon specified instances of financial hardship. A participant may withdraw all or any portion of their non-Roth after-tax account and rollover account at any time. Amounts contributed by the Company to the accounts of named executive officers as matching contributions under the 401(k) Plan are included in the "All Other Compensation" column of the "*Summary Compensation Table*" on page [51](#iba43c03dc2c146ef94b80cd7ea6422d0_169).

Potential Payments Upon **Termination or Change in Control**

The following table and accompanying discussion describes the potential payments and benefits under the Company's compensation and benefit plans and arrangements to which the named executive officers would be entitled upon a change in control or termination of employment as of December 31, 2025. There are no other agreements, arrangements or plans that entitle executive officers to severance, perquisites, or other enhanced benefits upon termination of their employment, except as described below. Any agreement to provide additional payments or benefits to a terminating executive officer would be in the discretion of the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee. The executive officers are not entitled to additional benefits at death or disability per the terms of the defined benefit plan. The executive officers can choose to receive the amounts accumulated in the Deferred Compensation Plan either as a lump sum or in installments at retirement, death or disability. These amounts have been disclosed under the "*Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation*" section on page [58](#iba43c03dc2c146ef94b80cd7ea6422d0_181).

*CIC Agreements.* As described in more detail above under "Executive Employment Arrangements," in 2025 the Company entered into the CIC Agreements with each of Messrs. Gahlhoff, Krause and Tesh, as well as Ms. Chandler. Benefits under the CIC Agreements require compliance with certain restrictive covenants, also described above. Each CIC Agreement provides that in the event of a "Qualifying Change-in-Control Termination," defined to require a "double-trigger" as described in more detail above, the executive officer will be eligible to receive a lump sum cash severance payment at the multiples above described, a pro-rated annual bonus payment, vesting of PSUs assuming target level achievement, and payment of insurance premiums for 18 months. Where applicable, the CIC Agreements supersede all prior agreements and supersede any contrary provisions in the outstanding award agreements.

*Unvested Equity Awards.* Under our Time-Lapse Restricted Stock Award Agreements and our Performance Share Unit Award Agreements (the "**Equity Award Agreements**"), as modified by the CIC Agreements where applicable, if a named executive officer's employment with the Company terminates at any time prior to the vesting of any restricted stock or performance share units issued under the Equity Award Agreements, the named executive officer shall forfeit all unvested restricted stock or performance stock units, except where termination was due to certain circumstances specified in the agreements, such as permanent disability, death or a change in control. Treatment of unvested awards varies with the reason for the termination, the type of award, and the year in which the award was granted, as described in more detail below:

*• Death.* Under our RSA agreements, in the event of death of a named executive officer, all unvested restricted stock shall vest immediately. Under our PSU award agreements, if employment terminates due to death before the cliff vesting occurs, the award will vest at 50% of target level for the CAGR and Adjusted EBITDA Margin components without regard to actual performance. Nothing will vest for the TSR component, regardless of actual performance.

*• Change in Control.* In an event of a "change in control," as determined by our Board of Directors, unvested restricted stock shall vest immediately. The PSU awards do not include change in control provisions themselves, but are subject to the vesting provided for under the CIC Agreements described above.

*• Disability.* Our RSA agreements provide for accelerated vesting of a prorated amount of restricted stock upon permanent disability. The proration allows the NEO to receive a fraction of the award equal (in total, including any shares that have already vested under the award) to the number of months from the grant date to the date of permanent disability, divided by the number of months in the vesting period for the award. Under our PSU agreements, if employment terminates due to disability before cliff vesting occurs, the award will vest at target levels for the CAGR and Adjusted EBITDA Margin components, as if target performance had been achieved, without regard to actual performance. Nothing will vest for the TSR component, regardless of actual performance.

• *Retirement.* None of our RSA and PSU agreements provide for vesting at retirement.

The Executive Bonus Plan agreements require the award recipient to remain employed through the end of the year, subject to certain exceptions only for certain transfers and promotions. No provision is made under these agreements for payouts to individuals whose employment has terminated for any reason prior to the end of the year, including due to death, disability, retirement, or change in control. However, these agreements are subject to the CIC Agreements described above, and the officers who are party to those agreements will experience vesting of these awards when the double trigger described above is met.

Pay Ratio **Disclosure**

As required by the SEC rules, we are providing the ratio of our median employee's annual total compensation (the median of the total compensation of all our employees, excluding our principal executive officer) to the total annual compensation of Jerry E. Gahlhoff, Jr., who served as our principal executive officer ("**PEO**") during fiscal year 2025.

The purpose of the required disclosure is to provide a measure of the equitability of pay within the organization. We believe our compensation philosophy and process yield an equitable result.

|:---|:---|
| Median Employee annual total compensation for 2025 | $65116 |
| PEO annual total compensation for 2025 | $8966870 |
| Ratio of PEO to Median Employee compensation for 2025 | 137:1 |

---

As of December 31, 2025, we had 21,712 employees, consisting of 2,247 international employees and 19,465 employees in the United States. In determining the median employee as of December 31, 2025, a listing was prepared of all employees employed by the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries, excluding our principal executive officer. For the listing of employees, we included our employees in Canada (1,364 employees) but excluded our employees located in the United Kingdom (419), Singapore (91), and Australia (373) (collectively 883 excluded international employees), resulting in 20,964 employees.

For purposes of identifying the median employee, we (i) used annual base salaries and bonuses calculated using W-2 wages for the year ended December 31, 2025 (in the case of Canadian employees, the local equivalent converted to USD); (ii) ranked the annual base salaries and bonuses from lowest to highest; and (iii) selected the median employee. For simplicity, the value of the Company's 401(k) plan and medical benefits provided were excluded.

Once the median employee was determined, we calculated such employee's annual total compensation as the total amount of compensation paid during fiscal year 2025, calculated using the same methodology as is used in the Summary Compensation Table to report total compensation for our Named Executive Officers, which includes the Company's contribution to the 401(k) plan. The annual total compensation reported for our PEO consists of his total compensation as reported for 2025 in the Fiscal 2025 Summary Compensation Table on page [51](#iba43c03dc2c146ef94b80cd7ea6422d0_169) of this Proxy Statement.

Delinquent **Section 16(a) Reports**

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Our employees prepare these reports for our directors and executive officers who request them on the basis of information obtained from them and from our records. Based on information available to us during fiscal year 2025, and representations made to us by the reporting persons, we believe that all reports were made in a timely manner other than one Form 4 for John F. Wilson, which was filed late on January 08, 2026 due to an administrative error.

Cautionary Note Regarding **Forward-looking Statements**

This Proxy Statement contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, including with respect to business, financial, operational, compensation and environmental, social/and or governance matters; statements of the assumptions underlying any of the foregoing statements; and all other statements that are not statements of historical facts, including but not limited to those set forth above under "Strategic Objectives" and "Moving Forward" in the Letter to Shareholders, including without limitation, statements regarding our ability to deliver long-term shareholder returns. In some cases, forward- looking statements may be identified by words such as "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "could," "would," "expect," "objective," "plan," "potential," "seek," "grow," "target," "if," or the negative of these terms and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made subject to the safe harbor provisions of the federal securities laws pursuant to Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. We have based these forward-looking statements primarily on our current opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect us. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Proxy Statement may not occur and actual results may differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. You should read this Proxy Statement with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our business, including those described in the section titled "Risk Factors" set forth in Part I, Item 1.A., and in the rest of our 2025 Form 10-K and in our other SEC filings. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Proxy Statement, and you should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements because of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable laws. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. While we believe that such information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, such information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.
