Appointment of New Director

On April 27, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) increased the number serving on its Board from seven to eight directors and filled the vacancy created by such newly-created directorship by appointing Thomas C. Tiller, Jr.  Mr. Tiller will serve as a Class II Director, where his initial term will expire at the Company’s 2016 annual stockholder meeting.  The Board determined, after considering all of the relevant facts and circumstances, that Mr. Tiller is “independent” as defined under NYSE listing standards and appointed him to serve as a member of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board.  In connection with Mr. Tiller’s appointment, David H. Wasserman and John Krenicki Jr. resigned as members of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, respectively.

No arrangements exist between the Company and Mr. Tiller or any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director.  There are no transactions in which Mr. Tiller has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Mr. Tiller will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s publicly disclosed director compensation policies, pursuant to which he will receive an annual retainer on the same terms as the Company’s other non-employee directors.
