FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ROLLINS, INC. CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER RETIRES, SUCCESSOR NAMED

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, April 6, 2021: Rollins, Inc. (NYSE:ROL), a premier global consumer and commercial services company, announced that after 12 years of service, Chief Information Officer (CIO) Lee W. Crump has retired.

Gary W. Rollins, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “It is with mixed emotions that I announce Lee Crump’s retirement from Rollins, Inc. Throughout his career at Rollins, Lee has helped guide our company through many noteworthy IT advancements. However, his legacy of building a great team and developing them to not only improve our organization’s performance today, but far into the future, is his most important accomplishment.”

In preparation for Crump’s retirement, the company has spent the last six months working to ensure a seamless transition to Thomas D. Tesh, our new Chief Information Officer. Tesh served as the Vice President of Information Technology (IT) for Rollins from 2012 to 2020, responsible for Application Development, Business Intelligence, Mobility, Program Management, IT Training and Communications, Support Desk, Desktop Support, Telecom, and IT Continuous Improvement. He is also a member of the Georgia CIO Association and the Project Management Institute (PMI).

“I am very proud of all that we accomplished while I was CIO, but prouder still of Thomas Tesh and the rest of the IT team that remains at Rollins. They will ensure the company stays on top!” affirmed Crump.
