Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On April 25, 2023, Rollins, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) at which the Company’s stockholders considered the following proposals: (i) to elect one Class II and four Class I director nominees to serve as directors of the Company until the Company’s 2024 and 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, respectively, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified; (ii) to hold an advisory (non-binding) vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers; and (iii) to hold an advisory (non-binding) vote on the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes to approve the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers.
Proposal 1: To elect one Class II and four Class I director nominees to serve as directors of the Company until the Company’s 2024 and 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, respectively, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
Each director nominee received the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the shares of the Company common stock entitled to vote. Vote results for each director nominee were as follows:
