Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on
Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking

“aims,” “projects,” “predicts,” “is optimistic,” “intends,” “plans,”
“estimates,” “targets,” “anticipates,” “continues” or other comparable terms or negatives
of these terms, but not all forward-looking statements include such identifying words. Forward-looking statements are based upon current
plans, estimates and expectations that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated
by such forward-looking statements. We can give no assurance that such plans, estimates or expectations will be achieved and therefore,
actual results may differ materially from any plans, estimates or expectations in such forward-looking statements. Important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from such plans, estimates or expectations include: a condition to the closing of the
proposed transaction may not be satisfied; the occurrence of any event that can give rise to termination of the proposed transaction;
a regulatory approval that may be required for the proposed transaction is delayed, is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions
that are not anticipated; Rentokil is unable to achieve the synergies and value creation contemplated by the proposed transaction; Rentokil
is unable to promptly and effectively integrate Terminix’s businesses; management’s time and attention is diverted on transaction

the credit ratings of Rentokil declines following the proposed transaction; legal proceedings are instituted against Terminix or Rentokil;
Terminix or Rentokil is unable to retain or hire key personnel; the announcement or the consummation of the proposed acquisition has a

Kingdom, the United States and elsewhere, and other factors that contribute to uncertainty and volatility, natural and man-made disasters,
civil unrest, pandemics (e.g., the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic (the “COVID-19 pandemic”)), geopolitical uncertainty, and
conditions that may result from legislative, regulatory, trade and policy changes associated with the current or subsequent U.S. or U.K.

a hurricane, flood, earthquake, terrorist attack, war, pandemic, security breach, cyber-attack, power loss, telecommunications failure
or other natural or man-made event, including the ability to function remotely during long-term disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic;
the impact of public health crises, such as pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic) and epidemics and any related company or governmental
policies and actions to protect the health and safety of individuals or governmental policies or actions to maintain the functioning of
national or global economies and markets, including any quarantine, “shelter in place,” “stay at home,” workforce
reduction, social distancing, shut down or similar actions and policies; actions by third parties, including government agencies; the
risk that disruptions from the proposed transaction will harm Rentokil’s or Terminix’s business, including current plans and
operations; certain restrictions during the pendency of the acquisition that may impact Rentokil’s or Terminix’s ability to
pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; Rentokil’s or Terminix’s ability to meet expectations regarding
the accounting and tax treatments of the proposed transaction; the risks and uncertainties discussed in the “Risks and Uncertainties”
section in Rentokil’s reports available on the National Storage Mechanism at morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM and on its website at https://www.rentokil-initial.com;
and the risks and uncertainties discussed in the “Risk Factors” and “Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”
sections in Terminix’s reports filed with the SEC. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the proposed transaction,
will be more fully discussed in the proxy statement/prospectus and shareholder proxy circular. While the list of factors presented here
is, and the list of factors to be presented in proxy statement/prospectus and shareholder proxy circular will be, considered representative,
no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant
additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking
statements as they are not guarantees of future performance or outcomes and that actual performance and outcomes, including, without limitation,
our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of new markets or market segments in which we
operate, may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
