Proxy Statement 

Proxy Statement

This Proxy Statement and a form of proxy were first mailed to stockholders on or about March 17, 2014. The following information concerning the proxy and the matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on April 22, 2014, is submitted by the Company to the stockholders 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 the 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, 2014 and in favor of the advisory proposal to approve executive compensation.

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

Householding and Delivery of Proxy Materials

The Company has adopted the process called “householding” for any proxy materials in order to reduce printing costs and postage fees. Householding means that stockholders who share the same last name and address will receive only one copy of the proxy material, unless we receive contrary instructions from any stockholder at that address. The Company will continue to mail a proxy card to each stockholder of record.

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 stockholder of record, you may contact us by writing to the Company 2170 Piedmont Rd., NE, Atlanta, GA 30324 or by calling 404-888-2000. Eligible stockholders of record receiving multiple copies of the proxy material can request householding by contacting the Company in the same manner.

PROXY STATEMENT

        This Proxy Statement and a form of proxy were first mailed to stockholders on or about March 19, 2012. The following information concerning the proxy and the matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on April 24, 2012, is submitted by the Company to the stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Company's Board of Directors.

Eligible stockholders of record receiving multiple copies of the proxy material can request householding by contacting the Company in the same manner.



CAPITAL STOCK

        The outstanding capital stock of the Company on March 2, 2012 consisted of 146,823,783 shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote (non-cumulative) for each share of such stock registered in their respective names at the close of business on March 2, 2012,

The outstanding capital stock of the Company on March 3, 2014 consisted of 146,049,399 shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote (non-cumulative) for each share of such stock registered in their respective names at the close of business on March 3, 2014, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

 

A majority of the outstanding shares will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. In accordance with the General Corporation Law of the state of Delaware, the election of the nominees named herein as Directors 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. 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) are relevant to the outcome. In this case, the nominees receiving the most votes will be elected. The affirmative vote of a majority of a quorum of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting is required to approve the ratification of the appointment of the Company's independent registered public firm for fiscal year 2012. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against the proposals and broker non-votes will have no effect on the proposals for ratification of the appointment of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. 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 by officers and directors of the Company, which in the aggregate represent approximately 57 percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, will be voted for the nominees, and for the ratification of the appointment of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

Shares counted toward this requirement will be based on shares beneficially owned by such executive (as beneficial ownership is defined by the SEC's rules and regulations) including shares owned outright by the executive, shares held in Rollins 401(k) retirement savings plan, stock held in the Rollins employee stock purchase and dividend reinvestment plan, shares obtained through stock option exercise and held, restricted stock awards whether or not vested and shares held in trust in the employee's name. Once achieved, ownership of the guideline amount must be maintained for as long as the individual is subject to the Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines and the executive is required to retain a minimum of 25% of any future equity awards.



PROPOSAL 1:

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

        At the Annual Meeting, Messrs. Gary W. Rollins and Larry L. Prince will be nominated to serve as Class II directors and Messr Henry B. Tippie will be nominated to serve as a Class I director. The nominees for election at the 2012 Annual Meeting are all now directors of the Company. The directors in Class II will serve for a term of three years, and the director in Class I will serve for a term of two years. The director nominees will serve in their respective class until their successors are elected and qualified. Five 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 by-laws, which provide for the election of directors for staggered terms, with each director serving a three-year term. Unless authority is withheld, the proxy holders will vote for the election of each nominee named below as a director. 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 Governance Committee to fill such vacancy.

Director Qualifications

        As described in more detail below, we believe that each of our directors are well suited to serve on our Board for a variety of individual reasons and because collectively they bring a wealth of experience from diverse backgrounds that have combined to provide us with an excellent mix of experiences and viewpoints. The information below has the name and age of each of our directors and each of the nominees with his or her principal occupation, together with the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by each and the percentage of outstanding shares that ownership represents, all as of the close of business on March 2, 2012 (according to information received by the Company), other board memberships and the period during which he has served us as a director.

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) are relevant to the

outcome. In this case, the nominees receiving the most votes will be elected. The affirmative vote of a majority of a quorum of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting is required to approve the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2014 and to approve the nonbinding shareholder resolutions on executive compensation.

Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has appointed Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2014. During fiscal 2013, Grant Thornton LLP served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Representatives of Grant Thornton 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.

Although the Company is not required to seek ratification of this appointment, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors believes that it is appropriate to do so. If stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP, the current appointment will stand, but the Audit Committee will consider the stockholder action in determining whether to retain Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2014 fiscal year.

Proposal 3:

Nonbinding Vote on Executive Compensation

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 stockholder consideration. While the vote on executive compensation is nonbinding and solely advisory in nature, our Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee value the opinion of our stockholders 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. Stockholders who want to communicate with the Board of Directors or management should refer to “Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors” on page 14 of this proxy statement for additional information.

Executive compensation is an important matter for our stockholders. 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 stockholder interests and concerns. We believe our compensation program is strongly aligned with the long-term interests of our stockholders. 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 21, and the compensation of the named executive officers is described on pages 16 to 28, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) on pages 16 to 28. The CD&A section of this proxy statement provides additional

details on our executive compensation, including our compensation philosophy and objectives and the fiscal 2013 compensation of the named executive officers.

We are asking stockholders to vote on the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that Rollins, Inc.’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of Rollins, Inc.’s named executive officers as disclosed in Rollins, Inc.’s proxy statement for the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (which disclosure includes the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosures).”

As indicated above, the stockholder 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 or represented by proxy and voting at the annual meeting 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.

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval, on an advisory 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.

Audit Committee

        The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company consists of Messrs. Henry B. Tippie (Chairman), Wilton Looney, James B. Williams and Bill Dismuke. The Audit Committee held five meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 including a meeting to review the Company's Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2010. The Board of Directors has determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee are independent as that term is defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). The Board of Directors has also determined that all of the Audit Committee members are "Audit Committee Financial Experts" as defined in the SEC rules. Additionally, the Board of Directors has determined that the simultaneous service by Mr. James B. Williams on the Audit Committees of three other publicly traded companies does not impair his ability to effectively serve on the Audit Committee of the Company. The Audit Committee meets with the Company's independent public accountants, Vice President of Internal Audit, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to review the scope and results of audits and recommendations made with respect to internal and external accounting controls, specific accounting, and financial reporting issues. The Audit Committee has the authority to obtain advice and assistance from, and receive appropriate funding from the Company for, outside legal, accounting or other advisors, as it deems necessary to carry out its duties. The Audit Committee charter is available on the Company's website atwww.rollins.com, under the Governance section.

Compensation Committee

        The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company consists of Messrs. Henry B. Tippie (Chairman), Wilton Looney and James B. Williams. It held two meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. The function of the Compensation Committee is to set the base salary and cash based incentive compensation of all of the executive officers of the Company. The Compensation Committee also administers the Rollins, Inc. Employee Stock Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee does not have a formal charter, and is not required to have one under the "controlled company" exemption under the NYSE rules, as described in the section titled "Director Independence and NYSE Requirements" below.

Diversity Committee

        The Diversity Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company consists of Messrs. Henry B. Tippie (Chairman), Wilton Looney and James B. Williams. It held one meeting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. The function of the Diversity Committee is to monitor compliance with applicable non-discrimination laws.

Nominating and Governance Committee

        The Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company consists of Messrs. Henry B. Tippie (Chairman), Wilton Looney and James B. Williams, each of whom is independent, as discussed above. The Committee was formed in 2002 pursuant to a resolution passed by the Board of Directors for the following purposes:


        The Nominating and Governance Committee held one meeting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. We are not required by law or by New York Stock Exchange rules to have a nominating committee since we are a controlled corporation as described below under the heading "Director Independence and NYSE Requirements." We established the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to promote responsible corporate governance practices and we currently intend to maintain the Committee going forward.

Director Nominations

        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 Governance Committee does not have a charter or a formal policy with regard to the consideration of director candidates. As such, there is no formal policy relative to diversity, although as noted below, it is one of many factors that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has the discretion to factor into its decision-making. This discretion would extend to how the Committee might define diversity in a particular instance—whether in terms of background, viewpoint, experience, education, race, gender, national origin or other considerations. However, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee acts under the guidance of the corporate governance guidelines approved by the Board of Directors on January 27, 2004, as amended January 25, 2005, and posted on the Company's website atwww.rollins.com under the Governance section. The Board believes that it should preserve maximum flexibility in order to select directors with sound judgment and other desirable qualities. According to the Company's corporate governance guidelines, the Board of Directors will be responsible for selecting nominees for election to the Board of Directors. The Board delegates the screening process involved to the Nominating and Governance Committee. This Committee is responsible for determining the appropriate skills and characteristics required of Board members in the context of the then current make-up of the Board. This determination takes into account all factors, which the Committee considers appropriate, such as independence, experience, strength of character, mature judgment, technical skills, diversity, age, and the extent to which the individual would fill a present need on the Board. The Company's by-laws provide that any stockholder entitled to vote for the election of directors may make nominations for the election of directors. Nominations must comply with an advance notice procedure which generally requires, with respect to nominations for directors for election at an annual meeting, that written notice be addressed to: Secretary, Rollins Inc., 2170 Piedmont Road, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30324, not less than ninety days prior to the anniversary of the prior year's annual meeting and set forth the name, age, business address and, if known, residence address of the nominee proposed in the notice, the principal occupation or employment of the nominee for the past five years, the nominee's qualifications, the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Company which are owned beneficially or of record by the person and any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings. Other requirements related to the notice are contained in the Company's by-laws. The Committee will consider nominations from stockholders who satisfy these requirements. The Committee is responsible for screening the nominees that are selected by the Board of Directors for nomination to the Board and for service on committees of the Board. The Company has not received a recommendation for a director nominee from a shareholder. All of the nominees for directors being voted upon at the Annual Meeting to be held on April 24, 2012 are directors standing for re-election.

Board Leadership

        Since July 2001, the Company has had separate persons serving as its Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Randall R. Rollins is our Chairman and chairs our Board meetings. Gary W. Rollins is our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer. We believe that it represents the appropriate structure for us at this time; the Chairman of the Board provides general


oversight and strategic planning for the Company while the President focuses on optimizing operational efficiencies. Many authorities on corporate governance are of the view that a company's principal executive officer should not also be chairman of its board and that it is best to keep board leadership separate from operational management.

Risk Oversight by Board

        Our Board's oversight of risk has not been delegated to any Board Committee. "Risk" is an extremely broad concept that extends to multiple functional areas and crosses multiple disciplines. As such, risk may be addressed from time to time by the full Board or by one or more of our Committees. Senior management is responsible for identifying and managing material risks that we face while insurable risks and litigation risks are handled primarily by the risk management department. Senior management provides the Board with a summary of insurance coverage annually and updates as deemed necessary. Liquidity risk, credit risk and risks associated with our credit facilities and cash management are handled primarily by our finance department, which regularly provides a financial report to both 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 full Board or to the Executive Committee.

Director Independence and NYSE Requirements

        Controlled Company Exemption.    We have elected to be treated as a "controlled company" as defined by New York Stock Exchange Section 303A.00. This Section provides that a controlled company need not comply with the requirements of Sections 303A.01, 303A.04 and 303A.05 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual. Section 303A.01 requires that listed companies have a majority of independent directors. As a controlled company, this Section does not apply to us. Sections 303A.04 and 303A.05 require that listed companies have a nominating and corporate governance committee and a compensation committee, in each case composed entirely of independent directors, and that each of these committees must have a charter that addresses both the committee's purpose and responsibilities and the need for an annual performance evaluation by the committee. While we have a nominating and corporate governance committee and a compensation committee, we are not required to and do not comply with all of the provisions of Sections 303A.04 and 303A.05. We are a "controlled company" because a group that includes the Company's Chairman, R. Randall Rollins and his brother, Gary W. Rollins, who is a director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and certain companies under their control, possesses in excess of fifty percent of our voting power. This means that they have the ability to determine the outcome of the election of directors at our annual meetings and to determine the outcome of many significant corporate transactions, many of which only require the approval of a majority of our voting power. Such a concentration of voting power could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a third party from acquiring us at a premium.

        The Company's Audit Committee is composed of four "independent" directors as defined by the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, the New York Stock Exchange rules, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, SEC regulations thereunder, and the Company's Audit Committee Charter. The members of the Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees are also entirely composed of independent directors. The Board of Directors has also concluded that Thomas Lawley and Larry L. Prince are "independent directors" under the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines and the New York Stock Exchange listing standards.

        Independence Guidelines.    Under New York Stock Exchange listing standards, to be considered independent, a director must be determined to have no material relationship with the Company other than as a director. The New York Stock Exchange standards set forth a nonexclusive list of relationships, which are conclusively deemed material.


        The Company's Independence Guidelines (Appendix A to the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines) are posted on the Company's website atwww.rollins.com under the Governance section. These Independence Guidelines provide that to be independent, a director must not have any relationship that would be considered material under New York Stock Exchange Standards. In addition, the Company's Guidelines provide that, except in special circumstances as determined by a majority of the Board, the following relationships are not material:

        Audit Committee Charter.    Under the Company's Audit Committee Charter, in accordance with New York Stock Exchange listing requirements and the Exchange Act, all members of the Audit Committee must be independent of management and 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 New York Stock Exchange and the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines.

        Nonmaterial Relationships.    After reviewing all of the relationships between the members of the Audit Committee, Messrs. Thomas J. Lawley, M.D. and Larry L. Prince, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, the Board of Directors determined that none of them had any relationships not included within the categorical standards set forth in the Independence Guidelines and disclosed above except as follows:


        As required by the Independence Guidelines, the Board of Directors 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 of the members of the Audit Committee are also independent under the heightened standards required for Audit Committee members.

        In accordance with the NYSE corporate governance listing standards, Mr. Henry B. Tippie was elected as the Presiding Director. The Company's non-management directors meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. Mr. Tippie presides during these executive sessions.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

        We have adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines to promote better understanding of our policies and procedures. At least annually, the Board reviews these guidelines. A copy of our current Corporate Governance Guidelines may be found at our website (www.rollins.com) under the heading "Governance." As required by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, our Corporate Governance Guidelines require that our non-management directors meet in at least two regularly scheduled executive sessions per year without management.

        At the Company's website (www.rollins.com), under the heading "Governance," you may access a copy of our Corporate Governance Guidelines, our Audit Committee Charter, our Code of Business Conduct and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors and Executive Officers and Related Party Transaction Policy.

Code of Business Ethics

        The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct applicable to all directors, officers and employees generally, as well as a supplemental Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors and Executive Officers and Related Party Transaction Policy applicable to the directors and the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or person performing similar functions for the Company. Both codes are available on the Company's website atwww.rollins.com.


Director Communications

        The Company also has a process for interested parties, including stockholders, to send communications to the Board of Directors, Presiding Director, any of the Board Committees or the non-management directors as a group. Such communications should be addressed as follows:

        Instructions for communications with the directors are also posted on our website atwww.rollins.com under the Governance section. All communications received from interested parties are forwarded to the Board of Directors. Any communication addressed solely to the Presiding Director or the non-management directors will be forwarded directly to the appropriate addressee. These instructions are posted on our website (www.rollins.com) under the heading "Governance."


COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS
AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

        None of the directors named above who serve on the Company's Compensation Committee are currently employees of the Company. Mr. Tippie was employed by the Company from 1953 to 1970, and held several offices with the Company during that time, including as Executive Vice President—Finance, Secretary, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of the Company's previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that might incorporate future filings, including this Proxy Statement, in whole or in part, the Report of the Audit Committee shall not be incorporated by reference into any such filings.



REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

        Management is responsible for the Company's internal controls and the financial reporting process. The Company's independent public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and for issuing a report 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.

        In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the year ended December 31, 2011, the Audit Committee:

        Based upon the review and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and for the three years ended December 31, 2011 be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        In giving its recommendation to the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee has relied on (i) management's representation that such financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and (ii) the report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm with respect to such financial statements.

        Submitted by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company consists of Messrs. Henry B. Tippie (Chairman), Larry L. Prince, James B. Williams and Bill Dismuke. The Audit Committee held five meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 including a meeting to review the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2012. The Board of Directors has determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee are independent as that term is defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC��) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The Board of Directors has also determined that all of the Audit Committee members

are “Audit Committee Financial Experts” as defined in the SEC rules. The Audit Committee meets with the Company’s independent public accountants, Vice President of Internal Audit, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to review the scope and results of audits and recommendations made with respect to internal and external accounting controls, specific accounting, and financial reporting issues. The Audit Committee has the authority to obtain advice and assistance from, and receive appropriate funding from the Company for, outside legal, accounting or other advisors, as it deems necessary to carry out its duties. The Audit Committee charter is available on the Company’s website atwww.rollins.com, under the Governance section.

Corporate Governance and Board of Directors’ Committees and Meetings

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company consists of Messrs. Henry B. Tippie (Chairman), Larry L. Prince and James B. Williams. It held five meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The function of the Compensation Committee is to set the base salary and cash based incentive compensation of all of the executive officers of the Company. The Compensation Committee also administers the Rollins, Inc. Employee Stock Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee does not have a formal charter, and is not required to have one under the “controlled company” exemption under the NYSE rules, as described in the section titled “Director Independence and NYSE Requirements” below.

Diversity Committee

The Diversity Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company consists of Messrs. Henry B. Tippie (Chairman), Larry L. Prince and James B. Williams. It held one meeting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The function of the Diversity Committee is to monitor compliance with applicable non-discrimination laws.

Nominating and Governance Committee

The Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company consists of Messrs. Henry B. Tippie (Chairman), Larry L. Prince and James B. Williams, each of whom is independent, as discussed previously. The Committee was formed in 2002 pursuant to a resolution passed by the Board of Directors for the following purposes:

•  to recommend to our Board of Directors nominees for director and to consider any nominations properly made by a stockholder;

•  upon request of our Board of Directors, to review and report to the Board with regard to matters of corporate governance; and

•  to make recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding the agenda for our annual stockholders’ meetings and with respect to appropriate action to be taken in response to any stockholder proposals.

The Nominating and Governance Committee held one meeting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. We are not required by law or by New York Stock Exchange rules to have a nominating committee since we are a controlled corporation as described below

under the heading “Director Independence and NYSE Requirements.” We established the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to promote responsible corporate governance practices and we currently intend to maintain the Committee going forward.

Director Nominations

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 Governance Committee does not have a charter or a formal policy with regard to the consideration of director candidates. As such, there is no formal policy relative to diversity, although as noted below, it is one of many factors that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has the discretion to factor into its decision-making. This discretion would extend to how the Committee might define diversity in a particular instance – whether in terms of background, viewpoint, experience, education, race, gender, national origin or other considerations. However, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee acts under the guidance of the corporate governance guidelines approved by the Board of Directors on January 27, 2004, as amended January 25, 2005, and posted on the Company’s website atwww.rollins.com under the Governance section. The Board believes that it should preserve maximum flexibility in order to select directors with sound judgment and other desirable qualities. According to the Company’s corporate governance guidelines, the Board of Directors will be responsible for selecting nominees for election to the Board of Directors. The Board delegates the screening process involved to the Nominating and Governance Committee. This Committee is responsible for determining the appropriate skills and characteristics required of Board members in the context of the then current make-up of the Board. This determination takes into account all factors, which the Committee considers appropriate, such as independence, experience, strength of character, mature judgment, technical skills, diversity, age, and the extent to which the individual would fill a present need on the Board. The Company’s by-laws provide that any stockholder entitled to vote for the election of directors may make nominations for the election of directors. Nominations must comply with an advance notice procedure which generally requires, with respect to nominations for directors for election at an annual meeting, that written notice be addressed to: Secretary, Rollins Inc., 2170 Piedmont Road, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30324, not less than ninety days prior to the anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting and set forth the name, age, business address and, if known, residence address of the nominee proposed in the notice, the principal occupation or employment of the nominee for the past five years, the nominee’s qualifications,

the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Company which are owned beneficially or of record by the person and any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings. Other requirements related to the notice are contained in the Company’s by-laws. The Committee will consider nominations from stockholders who satisfy these requirements. The Committee is responsible for screening the nominees that are selected by the Board of Directors for nomination to the Board and for service on committees of the Board. The Company has not received a recommendation for a director nominee from a shareholder. All of the nominees for directors being voted upon at the Annual Meeting to be held on April 22, 2014 are directors standing for re-election.

Board Leadership

Since July 2001, the Company has had separate persons serving as its Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Randall R. Rollins is our Chairman and chairs our Board meetings. Gary W. Rollins is our Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. John F. Wilson is our President and Chief Operating Officer. We believe that it represents the appropriate structure for us at this time; the Chairman of the Board provides general oversight and strategic planning for the Company while the Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Operating Officer focus on optimizing operational efficiencies.

Risk Oversight by Board

Our Board’s oversight of risk has not been delegated to any Board Committee. “Risk” is an extremely broad concept that extends to multiple functional areas and crosses multiple disciplines. As such, risk may be addressed from time to time by the full Board or by one or more of our Committees. Senior management is responsible for identifying and managing material risks that we face while insurable risks and litigation risks are handled primarily by the risk management department. Senior management provides the Board with a summary of insurance coverage annually and updates as deemed necessary. Liquidity risk, credit risk and risks associated with our credit facilities and cash management are handled primarily by our finance department, which regularly provides a financial report to both 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 full Board or to the Executive Committee.

Director Independence and NYSE Requirements

Controlled Company Exemption. We have elected to be treated as a “controlled company” as defined by New York Stock Exchange Section 303A.00. This Section provides that a controlled company need not comply with the requirements of Sections 303A.01, 303A.04 and 303A.05 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual. Section 303A.01 requires that listed companies have a majority of independent directors. As a controlled company, this Section does not apply to us. Sections 303A.04 and 303A.05 require that listed companies have a nominating and corporate governance committee and a compensation committee, in each case composed entirely of independent directors, and that each of these committees must have a charter that addresses both the committee’s purpose and responsibilities and the need for an annual performance evaluation by the committee. While we have a nominating and corporate governance committee and a compensation committee, we are not required to and do not comply with all of the provisions of Sections 303A.04 and 303A.05. We are a “controlled company” because a group that includes the Company’s Chairman, R. Randall Rollins and his brother, Gary W. Rollins, who is the Company’s Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and certain companies under their control, possesses in excess of fifty percent of our voting power. This means that they have the ability to determine the outcome of the election of directors at our annual meetings and to determine the outcome of many significant corporate transactions, many of which only require the approval of a majority of our voting power. Such a concentration of voting power could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a third party from acquiring us at a premium.

The Company’s Audit Committee is composed of four “independent” directors as defined by the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the New York Stock Exchange rules, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, SEC regulations thereunder, and the Company’s Audit Committee Charter. The members of the Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees are also entirely composed of independent directors. The Board of Directors has also concluded that all of the members of the Audit Committee and Thomas J. Lawley are “independent directors” under the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and the New York Stock Exchange listing standards.

Independence Guidelines. Under New York Stock Exchange listing standards, to be considered independent, a director must be determined to have no material relationship

12     Rollins, Inc. 2014 Proxy Statement
Corporate Governance and Board of Directors’ Committees and Meetings

with the Company other than as a director. The New York Stock Exchange standards set forth a nonexclusive list of relationships, which are conclusively deemed material.

The Company’s Independence Guidelines (Appendix A to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines) are posted on the Company’s website at www.rollins.com under the Governance section.

Audit Committee Charter. Under the Company’s Audit Committee Charter, in accordance with New York Stock Exchange listing requirements and the Exchange Act, all members of the Audit Committee must be independent of management and 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 New York Stock Exchange and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Nonmaterial Relationships. After reviewing all of the relationships between the members of the Audit Committee, and Thomas J. Lawley, M.D., on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, the Board of Directors determined that none of them had any relationships not included within the categorical standards set forth in the Independence Guidelines and disclosed previously except as follows:

1.  Mr. Tippie was employed by the Company from 1953 to 1970, and held several offices with the Company during that time, including as Executive Vice President – Finance, Secretary, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer.

2.  Mr. Tippie is Chairman of the Board of Directors of Dover Motorsports, Inc. and Dover Downs Gaming and Entertainment, Inc. R. Randall Rollins is also a director of these companies.

3.  Mr. Tippie is the trustee of the O. Wayne Rollins Foundation and of the Rollins Children’s Trust. O. Wayne Rollins is the father of Gary and Randall Rollins. The beneficiaries of the Rollins Children’s Trust include the immediate family members of Gary and Randall Rollins.

4.  Mr. Dismuke was employed by the company from 1979 to 1984, and held several offices with the Company during that time, including Senior Vice President.

5.  Each of Messrs. Dismuke, Prince, Tippie and Williams also serve on the Boards of RPC, Inc. and Marine Products Corporation. Messrs. Gary and Randall Rollins are directors of RPC, Inc. and Marine Products Corporation, and have voting control over these companies. These companies are held by a control group of which Messrs. Randall and Gary Rollins are a part. Mr. Randall Rollins is an executive officer of Marine Products Corporation.

6.  Thomas J. Lawley, M.D. was the Dean of the Emory University School of Medicine from 1996 to 2013. Various charitable contributions have been made by the O. Wayne Rollins Foundation to Emory University in the past, including charitable contributions made by the Foundation to the Emory University School of Medicine and to the Emory University School of Public Health. Gary Rollins is a director of Emory University.

As required by the Independence Guidelines, the Board of Directors unanimously concluded that the listed relationships on page 13 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 of the members of the Audit Committee are also independent under the heightened standards required for Audit Committee members.

In accordance with the NYSE corporate governance listing standards, Mr. Henry B. Tippie was elected as the Presiding Director. The Company’s non-management directors meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. Mr. Tippie presides during these executive sessions.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

We have adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines to promote better understanding of our policies and procedures. At least annually, the Board reviews these guidelines. A copy of our current Corporate Governance Guidelines may be found at our website (www.rollins.com) under the heading “Governance.” As required by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, our Corporate Governance Guidelines require that our non-management directors meet in at least two regularly scheduled executive sessions per year without management.

At the Company’s website (www.rollins.com), under the heading “Governance,” you may access a copy of our Corporate Governance Guidelines, our Audit Committee Charter, our Code of Business Conduct and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors and Executive Officers and Related Party Transaction Policy.

Code of Business Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct applicable to all directors, officers and employees generally, as well as a supplemental Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors and Executive Officers and Related

Any communication addressed solely to the Presiding Director or the non-management directors will be forwarded directly to the appropriate addressee(s).

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

       

None of the directors named on page 11 who serve on the Company’s Compensation Committee are currently employees of the Company. Mr. Tippie was employed by the Company from 1953 to 1970, and held several offices with the Company during that time, including as Executive Vice President – Finance, Secretary, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer.

Report of the Audit Committee

Management is responsible for the Company’s internal controls and the financial reporting process. The Company’s independent public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and for issuing a report 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.

In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the

year ended December 31, 2013, the Audit Committee:

•  Approved the terms of engagement of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2013;

•  Reviewed with management the interim financial information included in the Forms 10-Q prior to their being filed with the SEC. In addition, the Committee reviewed all earnings releases with management and the Company’s independent public accounting firm prior to their release;

•  Reviewed and discussed with the Company’s management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the three years ended December 31, 2013;

•  Reviewed and discussed with the Company’s management and the independent registered public accounting firm, management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013;

•  Discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm matters required to be discussed by the Auditing Standard No. 61, “Communications with Audit Committees,” as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; and

•  Received from the independent registered public accounting firm the written disclosures and the letter in accordance with the requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the firm’s communications with the Committee concerning independence, and discussed with such firm its independence from the Company.

Based upon the review and discussions referred to previously, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the three years ended December 31, 2013 be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In giving its recommendation to the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee has relied on (i) management’s representation that such financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and (ii) the report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm with respect to such financial statements.

Submitted by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Compensation Committee

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the members of our Compensation Committee held primary responsibility for determining executive compensation levels. The Committee is composed of three of our non-management directors who do not participate in the Company’s compensation plans. The Committee determines the compensation and administers the performance-based cash compensation plan for our executive officers. In addition, the Committee also administers our Stock Incentive Plan for all the employees.

The members of our Compensation Committee have extensive and varied experience with various public and private corporations as investors and stockholders, as senior executives, and as directors charged with the oversight of management and the setting of executive compensation levels. Henry B. Tippie, the Chairman of the Compensation Committee, has served on the board of directors of twelve different publicly traded companies and has been involved in setting executive compensation levels at all of these companies. Messrs. Larry L. Prince and James B. Williams have served on the board of directors of several different publicly traded companies and have similarly been involved in setting executive compensation levels at many of these companies.

The Compensation Committee has authority to engage attorneys, accountants and consultants, including executive compensation consultants, to solicit input from management concerning compensation matters, and to delegate any of its responsibilities to one or more directors or members of management where it deems such delegation appropriate and permitted under applicable law. The Committee has not used the services of any compensation consultants in determining or recommending the amount of form of executive compensation.

The Compensation Committee believes that determinations relative to executive compensation levels are best left to the discretion of the Committee. In addition to the extensive experience and expertise of the Committee’s members and their familiarity with the Company’s performance and the performance of our executive officers, the Committee is able to draw on the experience of other directors and on various legal and accounting executives employed by the Company, and the Committee has access to the wealth of readily available public information relative to structuring executive compensation programs and setting appropriate compensation levels. The Committee also believes that the structure of our executive compensation programs should

not become overly complicated or difficult to understand. The Committee solicits input from our Chief Executive Officer with respect to the performance of our executive officers and their compensation levels.

The Role of Shareholder
Say-on-Pay Votes

The Company provides its shareholders with the opportunity to cast an every three years advisory vote on executive compensation (a “say-on-pay proposal”). At the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders held in April 2011, a substantial majority of the votes cast on the say-on-pay proposal at that meeting were voted in favor of the proposal. The Compensation Committee believes this affirms shareholders’ support of the Company’s 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, the advisory vote on executive compensation will be held again at the Annual Meeting. The Compensation Committee will continue to consider the outcome of the Company’s say-on- pay votes when making future compensation decisions for the named executive officers.

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 in a fashion that gives our Compensation Committee the flexibility to take into account our operating performance and the individual performance of the executive.

The Compensation Committee endorses the philosophy that executive compensation should reflect Company performance and the contribution of executive officers to that performance. The Company’s compensation policy is designed to achieve three fundamental objectives: (i) attract and retain qualified executives, (ii) motivate performance to achieve Company objectives, and (iii) align the interests of our executives with the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders.

The 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. The

16     Rollins, Inc. 2014 Proxy Statement
Compensation Discussion and Analysis

analysis of the Committee is not based upon a structured formula and the objectives referred to previously are not weighted in any formal manner.

Pursuant to our compensation philosophy, the total annual compensation of our executive officers is primarily made up of one or more of three elements. The three elements are salary, annual performance-based incentive compensation and grants of stock based awards such as restricted stock. In addition, the Company provides retirement compensation plans, group welfare benefits and certain perquisites.

We believe a competitive base salary is important to attract, retain and motivate top executives. We believe annual performance-based incentive compensation is valuable in recognizing and rewarding individual achievement. Finally, we believe equity-based compensation makes executives “think like owners” and, therefore, aligns their interests with those of our stockholders.

Effective November 1, 2006, we adopted a formal Stock Ownership Guidelines for our executive officers and note that our executive officers are significant stockholders of the Company, as disclosed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement. The purpose of these Guidelines is to align the interests of executives with the interests of stockholders and further promote our longstanding commitment to sound corporate governance.

The Committee is mindful of the stock ownership of our directors and executive officers but does not believe that it is appropriate to provide a mechanism or formula to take stock ownership (or gains from prior option or stock awards) into account when setting compensation levels. As do many public companies, we have historically provided in our insider trading policies that directors and executive officers may not sell Company securities short and may not sell puts, calls or other derivative securities tied to our Common Stock.

We expect that the salary and other compensation paid to our executive officers will qualify for income tax deductibility under the limits of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, the Committee may authorize compensation, which may not, in a specific case, be fully deductible by the Company.

The Company does not have a formal policy relative to the adjustment or recovery of incentives or awards in the event that the performance measures upon which incentives or awards were based are later restated or otherwise adjusted in a manner that would have reduced the size of an incentive or award. However, as all incentives and awards remain within the discretion of the Compensation Committee, the Committee retains the ability to take any such 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 Officers and Chief Financial Officers must disgorge bonuses and other incentive-based compensation and profits on stock sales, if the non-compliance results from misconduct.

Salary

The salary of each executive officer is determined by the Compensation Committee. In making its determinations, the Committee gives consideration to our operating performance for the prior fiscal year and the individual executive’s performance. The Committee solicits input from our Chief Executive Officer with respect to the performance of our executive officers and their compensation levels. Effective January 1, 2014, the following adjustments were made to the base salaries of our executive officers: Gary W. Rollins $1,000,000 (no change from 2013); R. Randall Rollins $900,000 (no change from 2013); Harry J. Cynkus $535,000 ($20,000 increase from 2013); John F. Wilson $550,000 ($25,000 increase from 2013); and Eugene A. Iarocci $447,850 ($25,350 increase from 2013).

Performance-Based Plan

At the annual meeting of stockholders held on April 23, 2013, the stockholders approved the terms of the Company’s Performance-Based Incentive Cash Compensation Plan for Executive Officers (the “Cash Incentive Plan”). Under the Cash Incentive Plan, executive officers have an opportunity to earn bonuses of up to 100 percent of their annual salaries, not to exceed a maximum amount of $2 million per individual per year, upon achievement of bonus performance goals which are pre-set every year by the Compensation Committee upon its approval of the performance bonus program for that year. For 2013, these performance goals were based on targeted revenue growth, targeted pre-tax profit growth, and increase in pre-tax profits over the previous year’s pre-tax profit base.

For 2013, these performance goals for Messrs. R. Randall Rollins, Gary W. Rollins, John F. Wilson and Harry J. Cynkus were based on targeted revenue growth of the Company, targeted pre-tax profit of the Company, and increase in pre- tax profits over the previous year’s pre-tax profit base of the Company. For 2013, the performance goals for Eugene A. Iarocci was based on targeted revenue growth of his divisional responsibilities, targeted pre-tax profit of the Company, increase in pre-tax profits over the previous year’s pre-tax year profit base of his divisional responsibilities.

For the Company revenue performance goal, Messrs. R. Randall Rollins, Gary W. Rollins, and John F. Wilson were eligible to earn bonuses of between 5 and 35 percent of their respective annual salary. Harry J. Cynkus was eligible to earn a bonus of between 1.25 percent and 15 percent of his respective annual salary. The minimum growth in

revenue over prior year for these persons to be eligible to earn a bonus under this element of the Cash Incentive Plan for 2013 was 4.35 percent. Because the actual increase in Company revenues in 2013 over base year revenues was 5.2 percent, this resulted in bonuses of 17.1 percent of salary for Messrs. R. Randall Rollins, Gary W. Rollins, and John F. Wilson and 6.0 percent of salary for Harry J. Cynkus.

 

For the divisional revenue performance goal, Eugene A. Iarocci was eligible to earn a bonus of between 1.25 percent and 15 percent of his annual salary. The minimum growth in divisional revenue over the prior year revenue base to earn a bonus under this element under the Cash Incentive Plan for 2013, which was 4.57 percent, was set at a level that the Company believes was moderately difficult to achieve. Based upon the actual increase in his divisional revenues, this resulted in a bonus of 4.2 percent of salary for Eugene A. Iarocci.

For the Company pre-tax profit to plan performance goal, Messrs. R. Randall Rollins, Gary W. Rollins, and John F. Wilson were eligible to earn bonuses of between 15 and 40 percent of their respective annual base salary. Harry J. Cynkus was eligible to receive a bonus of between 7.5 and 20 percent of their respective annual salary. Eugene A. Iarocci was eligible to receive a bonus of between 2.5 and 10 percent of his annual salary. The minimum growth in Company pre-tax profit for 2013 was 2.6 percent of the corresponding amount for 2012. The Company’s 2013 performance resulted in an actual increase in pre-tax profit over the 2012 base amount of 8.5 percent. This resulted in bonuses of 26.1 percent of salary for Messrs. R. Randall Rollins, Gary W. Rollins, and John F. Wilson and 13.0 percent of salary for Harry J. Cynkus and 6.5 percent of salary for Eugene A. Iarocci.

For the element of the Cash Incentive Plan tied to the increase in Company pre-tax profit over the prior year base amount, Messrs. R. Randall Rollins, Gary W. Rollins, Harry J. Cynkus and John F. Wilson were eligible to participate in the bonus pool at the rate specified below up to the maximum amount specified below:

The Company’s 2012 pre-tax profit base was $176,642,000. For this element of the Cash Incentive Plan, the Company’s 2013 performance resulted in bonuses of 15.8 percent of salary for Messrs. R. Randall Rollins, Gary W. Rollins, and

 

 
 
 
    
John F. Wilson and 9.5 percent of salary for Harry J. Cynkus.

Based on the actual increases in divisional pre-tax profit over the prior year base amount, Eugene A. Iarocci earned 11.5 percent of his salary.

Eugene A. Iarocci has a component of his bonus under the Cash Incentive Plan based on his divisional pre-tax profit before corporate overhead to plan, for which he is eligible to earn bonus of between 10 and 20 percent of his annual salary. The minimum growth in divisional pre-tax profit to earn a bonus under this element of the Cash Incentive Plan for 2013 was set at a level that the Company believes was moderately difficult to achieve. Actual performance resulted in bonus of 16.8 percent of salary for Eugene A. arocci.

 

Harry J. Cynkus also participates in the Home Office Bonus Plan. Under this plan, the participant may receive a bonus of up to 5 percent of his respective annual salary for achievement of his home office department expense plan (which the Company does not consider a material part of the Company’s compensation of its executive officers) and 5 percent of annual salary for achievement of qualitative and subjective internal customer service survey results. Harry J. Cynkus received 5 percent of his annual salary as a bonus for the budgeted expense component of the Home Office Bonus Plan and 2.75 percent of his annual salary for the internal customer service survey component of that bonus plan. Historically, the expense goal components of the bonus plan have been achieved and 75 percent of the internal customer service survey component of the bonus plan has been achieved.

 

The amount of bonuses under each performance component of the Company’s Cash Incentive Plan is determined based upon straight-line interpolation of the applicable formula for each such component without the use of discretion. In addition to any bonuses earned under the Cash Incentive Plan or Home Office Plan, the Compensation Committee has the authority to award discretionary bonuses.

Wanzer $367,500 ($17,500 increase from 2011); and John F. Wilson $420,000 ($20,000 increase from 2011).

Performance-Based Plan

        At the annual meeting of stockholders held on April 22, 2008, the stockholders approved the terms of the Company's Performance-Based Incentive Cash Compensation Plan for Executive Officers (the "Cash Incentive Plan"). Under the Cash Incentive Plan, executive officers have an opportunity to earn bonuses of up to 100 percent of their annual salaries, not to exceed a maximum amount of $2 million per individual per year, upon achievement of bonus performance goals which are pre-set every year by the Compensation Committee upon its approval of the performance bonus program for that year. For 2011, these performance goals for Messrs. R. Randall Rollins, Gary W. Rollins and Harry J. Cynkus were based on targeted revenue growth of the Company, targeted pre-tax profit growth of the Company, and increase in pre-tax profits over the previous year's pre-tax profit base of the Company. For 2011, these performance goals for Messrs. John F. Wilson and Robert J. Wanzer were based on targeted revenue growth of their respective divisional responsibilities, targeted pre-tax profit growth of the Company, increase in pre-tax profits over the previous year's pre-tax year profit base of their respective divisional responsibilities, and targeted pre-profit growth of their respective divisional responsibilities.

        For the Company revenue performance goal, Messrs. R. Randall Rollins and Gary W. Rollins were eligible to earn bonuses of between 5 and 35 percent of their respective annual salary and Mr. Harry J. Cynkus is eligible to earn a bonus of between 1.25 percent and 15 percent of his annual salary. The minimum growth in revenue over prior year for these persons to be eligible to earn a bonus under this element of the Cash Incentive Plan for 2011 was 4.44 percent. Because the actual increase in Company revenues in 2011 over base year revenues was 6.0 percent, this resulted in bonuses of 26.2 percent of salary for Messrs. R. Randall Rollins and Gary W. Rollins, and 10.6 percent of salary for Mr. Harry Cynkus.

        For the divisional revenue performance goal, Messrs. John F. Wilson and Robert J. Wanzer were eligible to earn bonuses of between 1.25 percent and 15 percent of their respective annual salary. The minimum growth in divisional revenue over the prior year revenue base to earn a bonus under this element under the Cash Incentive Plan for 2011 was set at a level that the Company believes was moderately difficult to achieve, although this was the first year this element of the bonus plan was in place. Based upon the actual increase in their respective divisional revenues, this resulted in bonuses of 9.9% of salary for Mr. Robert J. Wanzer and 8.3% of salary for Mr. John F. Wilson

        For the Company pre-tax profit to plan performance goal, Messrs. R. Randall Rollins and Gary W. Rollins were eligible to earn bonuses of between 20 and 40 percent of their respective annual base salary. Mr. Harry J. Cynkus was eligible to receive a bonus of between 10 and 20 percent of his annual salary, and Messrs John F. Wilson and Robert J. Wanzer were eligible to receive a bonus of between 5 and 10 percent of their respective annual salary. The minimum growth in Company pre-tax profit for 2011 was 3.7 percent of the corresponding amount for 2010. The Company's 2011 performance resulted in an actual increase in pre-tax profit over the 2010 base amount of 9.2 percent. This resulted in bonuses of 35.6 percent of salary for Messrs. R. Randall Rollins and Gary W. Rollins, 17.8 percent of salary for Mr. Harry J. Cynkus, and 8.9% of salary for Messrs. John F. Wilson and Robert J. Wanzer.

        The Company's 2010 pre-tax profit base was $143,545,000. For this element of the Cash Incentive Plan, the Company's 2011 performance resulted in bonuses of 20.9 percent of salary for Messrs. R. Randall Rollins and Gary W. Rollins, and 7.9 percent of salary for Mr. Harry J. Cynkus.

        For the element of the Cash Incentive Plan tied to the increase in divisional pre-tax profit before corporate overhead over the prior year base amount, Messrs. Robert J. Wanzer and John F.

        Messrs. John F. Wilson and Robert J. Wanzer have a component of their bonus under the Cash Incentive Plan based on their respective divisional pre-tax profit before corporate overhead to plan, for which they are eligible to earn bonuses of between 10 and 20 percent of their respective annual salary. The minimum growth in divisional pre-tax profit to earn a bonus under this element of the Cash Incentive Plan for 2011 was set at a level that the Company believes was moderately difficult to achieve, although this was the first year this element of the bonus plan was in place. Actual performance resulted in bonuses of 16.1% of salary for Mr. John F. Wilson, and 18.5% of salary for Mr. Robert J. Wanzer.

        Mr. Harry J. Cynkus also participates in the Home Office Bonus Plan. Under this plan, Mr. Harry J. Cynkus may receive a bonus of up to 10 percent of his annual salary for achievement and margin improvement of the participant's budgeted expense goal (which the Company does not consider a material part of the Company's compensation of its executive officers) and five percent of annual salary for achievement of qualitative and subjective internal customer service survey results. Mr. Harry J. Cynkus received five percent of his annual salary as a bonus for the budgeted expense component of the Home Office Bonus Plan and 3.75 percent of his annual salary for the internal customer service survey component of that bonus plan. Historically, the expense goal components of the bonus plan have been achieved and 75 percent of the internal customer service survey component of the bonus plan has been achieved.


        The amount of bonuses under each performance component of the Company's Cash Incentive Plan is determined based upon straight-line interpolation of the applicable formula for each such component without the use of discretion. In addition to any bonuses earned under the Cash Incentive Plan or Home Office Plan, the Compensation Committee has the authority to award discretionary bonuses.

       

Equity Based Awards

Our Stock Incentive Plan allows for a wide variety of stock based awards such as stock options and restricted stock awards. We last issued stock options in fiscal year ended 2003 and have no immediate plans to issue additional stock options. Partially in response to changes relative to the manner in which stock options are accounted for under generally accepted accounting principles, we have modified the structure and composition of the long-term equity based component of our executive compensation. In recent years, we have awarded time-lapse restricted stock in lieu of granting stock options. The terms and conditions of these awards are described in more detail below.

Awards under the Company'sCompany’s Stock Incentive Plan are purely discretionary, are not based upon any specific formula and may or may not be granted in any given fiscal year. For the past three years, we have granted time-lapse restricted stock to various employees, including our executive officers, in early January during our regularly scheduled meeting of the Compensation Committee during which the Committee reviews executive compensation. Consistent with this practice, we granted restricted stock awards to our executive officers in January 2010, 20112012, 2013 and 20122014 as follows:

  30,000  25,000  20,000 
  

        The amount of the aggregate stock based awards to our executive officers in any given year is influenced by the Company's overall performance. The amount of each grant to our executive officers is influenced in part by the Committee's subjective 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 Committee considers the overall contributions of executive management as a group and the Committee's subjective 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 to selected executives although we reserve the right to modify or discontinue this or any of our other compensation practices at anytime.

 To date, all of our restricted stock awards have had the same features. The shares vest one-fifth per year beginning on the second anniversary of the grant date. Restricted

shares have full voting and dividend rights. However, until the shares vest, they cannot be sold, transferred or pledged. Should the executive leave our employment for any reason prior to the vesting dates (other than due to death, disability or retirement on or after age 65), the unvested shares will be forfeited. In the event of a "change“change in control"control” as determined by the Board of Directors, all unvested restricted shares shall vest immediately.


 

Grants are made under our Stock Incentive Plan and the plan is administered pursuant to Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. When considering the grant of stock based awards, the Committee considers the overall performance and the performance of individual employees.

Employment Agreements

There are no agreements or understandings between the Company and any executive officer that guarantee continued employment or guarantee any level of compensation, including incentive or bonus payments, to the executive officer.

Retirement Plans

The Company maintains a defined benefit plan (Rollins, Inc. Retirement Income Plan) for employees hired prior to January 1, 2002, a non-qualified retirement plan (Rollins, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan) for our executives and highly compensated employees, and a 401(k) plan (Rollins 401(k) Plan) for the benefit of all of our eligible employeesemployees.

The Company froze the Rollins, Inc. Retirement Income Plan effective June 30, 2005. Due to the freeze of the Rollins, Inc. Retirement Income Plan, for certain of our older and more tenured employees who are participants in the Rollins, Inc. Retirement Income Plan, the Company makes additional company contributions ("Pension Restoration Contributions") into either the Rollins 401(k) Plan (for non-highly compensated employees) or into the Rollins, Inc. Deferred Compensated Plan (for highly compensated employees). This contribution will be made for five years. The first contribution was made in January 2007 for those participants who were employed for all of the 2006 plan year. Only employees with five full years of vested service on June 30, 2005 qualify for the Pension Restoration Contributions. Messrs. R. Randall Rollins, Gary W. Rollins, Harry J. Cynkus, Robert J. Wanzer and John F. Wilson are expected to receive Pension Restoration Contributions of 3%, 3%, 3%, 0% and 1.5% of their annual salary (up to a maximum 2011 annual salary of $245,000), respectively, annually under the Rollins, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan. The Rollins, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan also provides other benefits as described below under "Nonqualified“Nonqualified Deferred Compensation."Compensation” on page 26.

Other Compensation

Other compensation to our executive officers includes group welfare benefits including group medical, dental and vision coverage, and group life insurance. The Company provides certain perquisites to its executive officers, which are described below under "Executive“Executive Compensation." The Company requires that its Chairman and its PresidentVice Chairman and CEO use Company or other private aircraft for air travel whenever practicable for security reasons.

The following Compensation Committee Report shall not be incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"“Securities Act”), except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Outstanding Equity Awards At Fiscal Year-End

There are no agreements or understandings between the Company and any executive officer whichthat guarantee continued employment or guarantee any level of compensation, including incentive or bonus payments, to the executive officer. All of the named executive officers participate in the Company'sCompany’s Cash Incentive Plan. Bonus awards under the Cash Incentive Plan provide participants an opportunity to earn an annual bonus in a maximum amount of 100%100 percent of base salary or $2 million per individual per year, whichever is less. Under the Cash Incentive Plan, whether a bonus is payable, and the amount of any bonus payable, is contingent upon achievement of certain performance goals, which are set in the annual program adopted under the plan. Performance goals are measured according to one or more of


the following three targeted financial measures: revenue growth, achievement of preset pretax profit targets, and pretax profit improvement over the prior year. For 2011,2013, these performance goals were measured by obtaining specific levels of the following: revenue growth, pre-tax profit plan achievement, and pre-tax profit improvement over the prior year.

Table on page 21.

Reflects the amounts for each of the named executive officers, which are reported as compensation to such named executive officer in the "All“All Other Compensation"Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table on page 26.21.

 

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 annual bonus deferral percentage was amended to allow participants the ability to defer up to 85%, beginning with bonuses earned in 2007 and paid in 2008. The Company may make discretionary contributions to participant accounts. The Company currently plans to credit accounts of participants of long service to the Company with certain discretionary amounts ("Pension Plan Benefit Restoration Contributions") in lieu of benefits that previously accrued under the Company's Retirement Income Plan. The Company ceased all future benefit accruals under the Rollins, Inc. Retirement Income Plan effective June 30, 2005. The Company intends to make Pension Plan Benefit Restoration Contributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan for five years. The first contribution was made in January 2007 for those participants who were employed for all of the 2006 plan year. The Company made the last contribution associated with this Plan during the first quarter of 2011. Only employees with five full years of vested service on June 30, 2005 qualify for Pension Plan Benefit Restoration Contributions. Randall Rollins, Gary Rollins, Harry Cynkus, and John Wilson received the Pension Plan Benefit Restoration Contributions of 3%, 3%, 3% and 1.5% of their annual salary (up to a maximum annual salary of $245,000), respectively. Robert J. Wanzer was not eligible for the Pension Plan Benefit Restoration Contribution.

 

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


 

Accounts will be credited with hypothetical earnings, and/or debited with hypothetical losses, based on the performance of certain "Measurement“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'sparticipant’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'sCompany’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Company has established a "rabbi“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'sCompany’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 Plan.

 

Generally, the Deferred Compensation Plan provides for distributions of any deferred amounts upon the earliest to occur of a participant'sparticipant’s death, disability, retirement or other termination of employment (a "Termination Event"“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 Plan allows a participant to elect to receive distributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan in installments or lump-sum payments.payments

401 (k) Plan


401(k) PLAN
Plan

Effective October 1, 1983, the Company adopted a qualified retirement plan designed to meet the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code ("(“401(k) Plan"Plan”). The forms of benefit payment under the 401(k) Plan are dependent upon the vested account balance. If the vested assets are greater than $1,000 up to and including $5,000, a participant may roll their money into another qualified plan or it will be rolled into a Prudential Individual Retirement Account. If the participant has more than $5,000 invested assets, 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. If the account balance is equal to or less than $1,000, the participant may roll their vested balance into anotherqualified plan or take a lump sum distribution. Under the 401(k) Plan, the full amount of a participant'sparticipant’s vested benefit is payable upon his termination of employment, retirement, total and permanent disability, death or age 701/270½. While employed, a participant may withdraw a certain amount of his pre-tax and rollover contributions upon specified instances of financial hardship, and may withdraw all or any portion of his pre-tax and rollover account after attaining the age of 591/259½. A participant may withdraw all or any portion of his after-tax account at any time and for any reason. Amounts contributed by the Company to the accounts of Named Executives under this plan are included in the "All“All Other Compensation"Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table above.on page 21.
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control



POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

The following table describes the potential payments and benefits under the Company'sCompany’s compensation and benefit plans and arrangements to which the named executive officers would be entitled upon termination of employment. 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 Compensation Committee. The executive officers are not entitled to additional benefits at death or disability per the terms of thedefined benefit plan. The amounts payable at retirement are disclosed in the "Pension Benefits"“Pension Benefits” section on page 33.25. 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 "Nonqualified“Nonqualified Deferred Compensation"Compensation” section on pages 34-35.page 26. The table below shows the incremental restricted shares that would become vested as of December 31, 2011,2013, at the closing market price of $22.22$30.29 per share for our Common Stock, as of that date, in the case of retirement, death, disability or change in control.
