It reinforces our confidence that the combination of Rentokil Initial and Terminix will deliver substantial value creation for shareholders. The Transaction is expected to be mid-teens percent accretive to Rentokil Initial’s earnings per share in the first full year post completion and, including at least $150m of cost synergies, to exceed the Company’s cost of capital by the third full year following completion.”
