Table of Contents

        At the discretion of the proxy holders, either FOR or AGAINST, any other matter or business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

        As of the date hereof, our board of directors is not aware of any other such matter or business to be transacted at our Annual Meeting. If other matters requiring a vote of the stockholders arise, the persons designated as proxies will vote the shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, represented by the proxies in accordance with their judgment on those matters.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

        The record date for stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting is March 7, 2017.2019. At the close of business on that date, we had 134,404,265136,057,181 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting held by 11two stockholders of record.record and approximately 34,000 beneficial stockholders. A quorum is required for our stockholders to conduct business at the Annual Meeting. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote. Dissenters' rights are not applicable to any of the matters being voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

        By granting a proxy, you authorize the persons named in the proxy to represent you and vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. Those persons will also be authorized to vote your shares to adjourn the Annual Meeting from time to time and to vote your shares at any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting.

        Registered Stockholders.    If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. ("Computershare"), you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and the proxy materials were provided to you directly by us. As a stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed on the proxy card in one of the manners listed on the proxy card or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

        Beneficial Stockholders.    If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name," and the proxy materials were forwarded to you by your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee, who is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee how to vote your shares using the methods prescribed by your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee on the voting instruction card you received with the proxy materials. Beneficial owners are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you follow your broker's, bank's, trustee's or other nominee's procedures for obtaining a legal proxy.

What votes are required to approve each of the proposals?

        Proposal 1, the nominees for Class IIIII director will be elected by a majority of the votes cast with respect to such director nominee's election. On October 28, 2016, the board of directors amended and restated the Company's by-laws to provide for the election of directors by a majority of the votes cast, except in the case of contested elections. The "majority of votes cast" means that the number of shares voted "for" a director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast "against" that director nominee's election. In accordance with our amended and restated by-laws, stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes for the election of directors.


Table of Contents

        Proposal 2, the non-binding advisory vote approving executive compensation, will be determined by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. However, our board of directors and Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our executive officers.

        Proposal 3, the ratification of the selection of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017,2019, will be determined by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. The Audit Committee has sole and direct responsibility for the appointment, retention, termination, compensation, evaluation and oversight of the work of any independent registered public accounting firm engaged by the Company. The Audit Committee has already appointed Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.2019. In the event of a negative vote on the ratification, the Audit Committee may reconsider its appointment of Deloitte for 2017;2019; however, the Audit Committee will consider the outcome of the vote when making appointments of our independent registered public accounting firm in future years. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the Company's and the stockholders' best interests.

How are broker non-votes and abstentions counted?

        The presence of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum. Shares of common stock represented by proxies at the meeting, including broker non-votes and those that are marked "ABSTAIN" will be counted as shares present for purposes of establishing a quorum. Brokers or nominees holding shares for a beneficial owner may only vote on routine matters on behalf of a beneficial owner that does not provide voting instructions for their shares. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner has not received instructions from the beneficial owner and, therefore, does not vote on a non-routine matter. Because broker non-votes are not voted affirmatively or negatively, they will have no effect on the approval of any of the proposals, except where brokers may exercise their discretion on routine matters. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner votes on one proposal, but does not vote on another proposal because the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Abstention and broker non-votes shall not be counted as votes cast with respect to a director nominee's election in Proposal 1. As to Proposals 2 and 3, shares represented by proxies that are marked "ABSTAIN" will have the effect of a vote against the proposal, while a broker non-vote will not have an effect on the outcome of any proposal other than Proposal 3. Only the ratification of the selection of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm in Proposal 3 is considered a routine matter. Your broker will therefore not have discretion to vote on the "non-routine" matters set forth in Proposals 1 and 2 absent direction from you. It is, therefore, important that you vote your shares.

What happens if a director nominee does not get a majority vote?

        Following certification of the stockholder vote in an uncontested election, any incumbent director who did not receive a majority of the votes cast for his or her election shall promptly tender his or her resignation, contingent upon acceptance of such resignation by the board, to the Chairman of the board. The Chairman of the board shall inform the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of such tender of resignation, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall consider such resignation and recommend to the board of directors whether to accept the tendered resignation or reject it or whether any other action should be taken. In deciding upon its recommendation, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall consider all relevant

factors, including without limitation the qualifications of the director who has tendered his or her resignation and the director's contribution to the Company and the board. The board will act on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee no later than 90 days after the certification of the stockholder vote and disclose the decision by filing a Form 8-K with the SEC.


Table of Contents

The board shall consider the factors considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and such additional information and factors that the board deems relevant.

Can I vote in person at the Annual Meeting?

        For stockholders with shares registered in the name of a brokerage firm or bank or other similar organization, you will need to obtain a legal proxy from the broker, bank, trustee or other nominee that holds your shares before you can vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting. For stockholders with shares registered directly in their names with Computershare, you may vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting.

What do I need to do to attend the Annual Meeting in person?

        Space for the Annual Meeting is limited and admission will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Stockholders should be prepared to present (1) valid government photo identification, such as a driver's license or passport; and (2) beneficial stockholders holding their shares through a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee will need to bring proof of beneficial ownership as of March 7, 2017,2019, the record date, such as their most recent account statement reflecting their stock ownership prior to March 7, 2017,2019, a copy of the voting instruction card provided by their broker, bank, trustee or other nominee or similar evidence of ownership.

Can I vote by telephone or Internet?

        Stockholders of record with shares registered directly in their names with Computershare will be able to vote using the telephone and Internet. For beneficial stockholders with shares registered in the name of a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee, a number of brokerage firms and banks are participating in a program that offers telephone and Internet voting options. Stockholders should refer to the voting instruction card provided by their broker, bank, trustee or other nominee for instructions on the voting methods they offer. Stockholders of record with shares registered directly in their names with Computershare will be able to vote using the telephone and Internet. If your shares are held in an account at a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee participating in this program or registered directly in your name with Computershare, you may vote those shares by calling the telephone number specified on your proxy or accessing the Internet website address specified on your proxy instead of completing and signing the proxy itself. The giving of such a telephonic or Internet proxy will not affect your right to vote in person should you decide to attend the Annual Meeting. The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate stockholders' identities, to allow stockholders to give their voting instructions and to confirm that stockholders' instructions have been recorded properly. If you vote by the Internettelephone or by telephone,the Internet, you do not need to send in a proxy card or voting instruction form. The deadline for Internettelephone and telephoneInternet voting will be 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 24, 2017.29, 2018.

Stockholders who received a proxy by mail and choose to vote by mail are requested to complete, date and sign the accompanying proxy and promptly return it in the envelope provided.

        Proxies will be voted as specified by the stockholders. Unless contrary instructions are specified by the stockholder on the proxy card, if the accompanying proxy card is executed and returned (and not

Table of Contents

ending December 31, 2017.2019. A stockholder's submission of a signed proxy will not affect his or her right to attend and to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

How do I change or revoke my proxy?

        Any person signing a proxy in the form accompanying this proxy statement has the power to revoke it prior to the Annual Meeting or at the Annual Meeting prior to the vote pursuant to the proxy. A proxy may be revoked by a writing delivered to us stating that the proxy is revoked, by a subsequent proxy that is signed by the person who signed the earlier proxy and is delivered before or at the Annual Meeting, by voting again on a later date on the Internet or by telephone (only your latest Internet or telephone proxy submitted prior to the Annual Meeting will be counted) or by attendance at the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Please note, however, that if a stockholder's shares are held of record by a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee and that stockholder wishes to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, the stockholder must bring a legal proxy to the Annual Meeting.

Who will count and certify the votes?

        Representatives of Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") and the staff of our corporate secretary and investor relations offices will count the votes and certify the election results. The results will be publicly filed with the SEC on a Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

How can I make a proposal or make a nomination for director for next year's annual meeting?

        You may present proposals for action at a future meeting or submit nominations for election of directors only if you comply with the requirements of the proxy rules established by the SEC and our amended and restated by-laws, as applicable. In order for a stockholder proposal or nomination for director to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy relating to our annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2018,2020, the proposal or nomination must be received by us at our principal executive offices no later than November 21, 2017.22, 2019. Stockholders wishing to bring a proposal or nominate a director at the annual meeting to be held in 20182020 (but not include it in our proxy materials) must provide written notice of such proposal to our Secretary at our principal executive offices between December 26, 2017January 1, 2020 and January 25, 201831, 2020 and comply with the other provisions of our amended and restated by-laws.

Who pays for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation?

        The accompanying proxy is solicited by our board of directors. We have also retained the firm of Georgeson to aid in the solicitation of brokers, banks, institutional and other stockholders for a fee of approximately $10,000, plus reimbursement of expenses. Broadridge will also assist us in the distribution of proxy materials and provide voting and tabulation services for the Annual Meeting. All costs of the solicitation of proxies will be borne by us. We pay for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation, including the reasonable charges and expenses of brokerage firms, banks, trusts or nominees for forwarding proxy materials to street name holders. We are soliciting proxies primarily by mail. In addition, our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies by telephone or other means of communication personally. Our directors, officers and employees will receive no additional compensation for these services other than their regular compensation.

        No director qualifies as "independent" unless the board of directors affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with us, eitherour Company or our subsidiaries (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us.our Company or any of our subsidiaries). Our board of directors assesses on a regular basis, and at least annually, the independence of directors and, based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, makes a determination as to which members are independent.

Risk Oversight

        Our board of directors as a whole has responsibility for overseeing our risk management. The board of directors exercises this oversight responsibility directly and through its committees. The oversight responsibility of the board of directors and its committees is informed by reports from our management team and from our internal audit department that are designed to provide visibility to the board of directors about the identification and assessment of key risks and our risk mitigation strategies. The full board of directors has primary responsibility for evaluating strategic and operational risk management and succession planning. Our Audit Committee has the responsibility for overseeing our major financial and accounting risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including policies and procedures for assessing and managing risk, including oversight on compliance related to legal and regulatory exposure, and meets regularly with our chief legal and compliance officers. Our Compensation Committee evaluates risks arising from our compensation policies and practices, as more fully described below. The Audit Committee and Compensation Committee provide reports to the full board of directors regarding these and other matters.

Compensation Risk Assessment

        The Compensation Committee assessed our compensation policies and practices to evaluate whether they create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Based on its assessment, the Compensation Committee concluded that the Company's compensation policies and practices do not create incentives to take risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. We believe we have allocated our compensation among base salary, short-term incentives and long-term equity in such a way as to not encourage excessive risk taking.

Stock Ownership Guidelines for Directors

        The board of directors has adopted stock ownership guidelines for members of the board of directors and for executive officers of the Company. The board believes that setting these ownership guidelines will enhance directors' and executive officers' alignment with other stockholders. The Compensation Committee will reviewreviews director and executive officer stock ownership levels on an annual basis.

Board of Directors The guidelines for executive officers are discussed below in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

        Members of the board of directors are expected to hold stock valued at five times the annual cash retainer. The annual cash retainer is being increased to $80,000, effective as of April 1, 2017, resulting in a current expectation to hold stock valued at $400,000. Directors will have a period of five years from February 2015 or their appointment to the board, whichever is later, to meet the ownership guidelines. All directors subject to the stock ownership guidelines are on track to meet their stock ownership level within the five-year period.

Executive Officers

        The guidelines for executive officers are based on a multiple of annual base salary with the CEO expected to own stock valued at six times his annual salary and other executive officers expected to own stock valued at three times their respective annual salaries.

        Shares included in the ownership guideline calculation include shares owned by the executive, unvested restricted stock units ("RSUs") and 25% of the in-the-money value of vested options.

        Executive officers covered under these guidelines have a period of five years from February 2015 or their designation as an executive officer, whichever is later, to meet the ownership guidelines. Each of our executive officers either already meets his or her stock ownership guideline or is on track to meet his or her stock ownership guideline within the five-year period.

Certain Securities Transactions

        Our board of directors has adopted a policy that prohibits our directors, and executive officers and all other employees from short sales and transactions in puts and calls of the Company's securities. Short sales of securities of the Company evidence an expectation on the part of the seller that such securities will decline in value and signal to the market an absence of confidence in the short-term prospects of the Company. Short sales may also reduce the seller's incentive to improve the performance of the Company.

        In addition, the adopted policy strongly discouragesprohibits any of our directors, and executive officers and all other employees from engaging in hedging transactions in the Company's securities. Certain forms of hedging or monetization transactions (such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts) allow a person to lock in much of the value of his or her stock holdings, often in exchange for all or part of the potential appreciation in the stock. These transactions allow the person to continue to own the stock, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the person may no longer have the same objectives as the Company's other stockholders.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

        This section describes the material elements of our 20162018 executive compensation program and the principles underlying our executive compensation policies and decisions. In addition, in this section, we provide information regarding the compensation paid to each individual who served in the capacity as principal executive officer (CEO) or principal financial officer (CFO) during 20162018 and the three most highly compensated executive officers (other than the CEO and CFO) who were serving as such as of the end of our most recent fiscal year, collectively referred to as our Named Executive Officers or "NEOs."("NEOs"). We have also included compensation data for one former executive officer, who, by virtue of his compensation, would have been designated as a "NEO."NEO. This former executive officer is the President and Chief Executive officer of Frontdoor, which was spun out of ServiceMaster into a separate, publicly traded company on October 1, 2018. For fiscal 20162018 our NEOs are as follows:

        Each of these elements, discussed in more detail below, plays an integral role in our balancing of executive rewards over short-near- and long-term periods and our ability to attract and retain key executives. We believe the design of our executive compensation program creates alignment between performance achieved and compensation awarded and motivates achievement of both annual goals and sustainable long-term performance.

Determination of Executive Compensation

Pay Decision Process

        The role of our Compensation Committee is to assist our board of directors in the discharge of its responsibilities relating to our executive compensation program. Our Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing, administering and monitoring our policies governing the compensation for our executive officers, including determining base salaries and short-termnear-term and LTI awards.

        The Compensation Committee determines the CEO's compensation and reports and discusses the approved compensation with the board of directors. Historically, in determining the CEO's


Table of Contents

compensation, the Compensation Committee has considered the following factors: (1) our operating and financial performance, (2) the competitive market data provided by Semler Brossy, Consulting Group, LLC ("Semler Brossy"), our external compensation consultant, as presented to the Compensation Committee by our Senior Vice President, Human Resources in collaboration with Semler Brossy, (3) the assessment by the Compensation Committee of the CEO's individual performance with subsequent discussion with the full board of directors and (4) prevailing economic conditions. The CEO has historically recommended to the Compensation Committee compensation for the other executive officers based on his assessment of each executive officer's area of responsibility, individual and business unit performance, overall contribution, the competitive market data provided by Semler Brossy and prevailing economic conditions. All aspects of compensation for our executive officers, including for the CEO, in fiscal year 20162018 were determinedapproved by the Compensation Committee, and the Compensation Committee providesperforms all functions described in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis as provided for in its charter.

        We believe that our executive compensation program must be attractive to compete in the market for executive talent and must support our growth strategy. As a result of this focus, we rely on competitive pay practices and individual and business performance in determining the compensation of our executives. In making these compensation determinations, we also consider historical individual compensation levels and historical company payout levels for annual cash incentives. The executive compensation program and underlying philosophy are reviewed at least annually by our Compensation Committee to determine what, if any, modifications should be considered.

Compensation Risk Assessment

        Management has assessed the Company's compensation plans and practices to evaluate whether they create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Based on its assessment, management has concluded that the Company's compensation policies and practices do not create incentives to take risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. We believe we have allocated our compensation among base salary, near-term incentives and LTI awards in such a way as to not encourage excessive risk taking. Management's assessment of the plans was reviewed with the Compensation Committee.

Clawback Policy

        The board of directors has approved and implemented a clawback policy that provides the Compensation Committee with the discretion to claw back performance-based compensation in the event of a restatement of Company financial statements or misconduct. This policy was approved in February 2016 and became effective on a prospective basis.

Stock Ownership Guidelines for Executive Officers

        The board of directors has adopted stock ownership guidelines for executive officers of the Company. The board believes that setting these ownership guidelines will enhance executive officers'


Table of Contents

alignment with other stockholders. The Compensation Committee will review executive officer stock ownership levels on an annual basis.

        The ownership guidelines for executive officers are based on a multiple of annual base salary with the CEO expected to own stock valued at six times his annual salary and other executive officers expected to own stock valued at three times their respective annual salaries. Until an executive officer meets these stock ownership guidelines, each executive officer is required to retain 50 percent of the shares obtained, net of the strike price and taxes, upon the exercise of stock options and vestings of other equity awards that are granted on or after February 18, 2018. Shares included in the ownership guideline calculation include shares owned by the executive, unvested RSUs and 25 percent of the in-the-money value of vested options.

Say-on-Pay

        The Compensation Committee considers the advisory vote from stockholders on executive compensation as an important input into the determination of the compensation program structure. The approval of the executive compensation program by more than 99%95 percent of the votes cast by stockholders in 20162018 provides a further endorsement of our executive compensation program. The most significant change to the compensation structure during 20162018 was the grant of RSUs, rather than PSUs, due to the first annual LTI awards sincecomplexities in determining longer-term financial goals within the IPO as described above.context of the spin-off and financial separation of AHS. The annual grant of these LTI awards enables the Company to deliver compensation that is competitive with the external market, while further aligning executives' interests with those of our stockholders. The Compensation Committee will continue to consider stockholder feedback as part of its decision-making process.process consistent with the Company's pay-for-performance philosophy. The Compensation Committee granted PSUs in 2019 in conjunction with stock options and RSUs to focus on Company performance and building shareholder value.

Peer Group

        In 2016,2018, the Compensation Committee reviewedconducted their annual review of the peer group. After the review, the Committee removed one company and confirmedadded one company to the group ofexisting peer companies (the "Peer Group")group, to which we compare our NEOs' compensation. The Compensation Committee approved a list of 13 companies as our Peer Group. These companies are generally 0.3 to 3.0 times our revenue size, based on 20152017 revenue figures.

        The peer companies are generally from the service industry and have a distributed business model. The Compensation Committee also considered the growth rates of the companies when selecting this group of companies. We periodically review theour Peer Group and may from time to time adjust the companies comprising the group to better reflect competitors in the industries in which we compete, companies with similar business models and companies that compete in our labor markets for talent.

A general survey of competitive market data for positions which were not reported in Peer Group proxy statements was provided by Aon Hewitt and was adjusted to mirror general market merit increases, as identified in market salary increase surveys sponsored by compensation consulting organizations. The survey data reflects companies in general industries with revenue sizes between $1 billion and $5 billion. The positions for which survey data was the primary source of competitive information include business unit presidents and the heads of Marketing and Strategy, Human Resources, Supply ManagementLegal, Business Development and Information Technology functions. The Compensation Committee then evaluated base pay and annual bonuses for our executives as discussed below.

        The changes in our CEO's compensation from 2014 through 2016 are largely the result of LTI awards received by the CEO. During 2014, prior to the IPO, Mr. Gillette invested $1.5 million of his personal funds in Company stock and received stock options equal to 5.5 times the number of shares he purchased, resulting in an equity grant date value slightly in excess of $4 million. Our CEO did not receive any equity awards during 2015, resulting in significantly lower total compensation for the year.future. The Compensation Committee determineddid not adjust Mr. Varty's compensation package, but was pleased with Mr. Varty's performance in 2015 that our CEO held a meaningful amount of unvested equity from the pre-IPO equity grants. The Compensation Committee made its first annual LTI grants in 2016 to NEOs, including the CEO, to provide competitive compensation levels, while ensuring close alignment2018 and with the interests of stockholders, resulting in a higher level of total compensation in 2016 than in 2015 as reflected ininitiatives launched and his vision for the Summary Compensation Table below.Company.

Annual BonusIncentive Plan

        Stockholders of the Company approved the Executive Annual Bonus Plan ("EABP") at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This plan provides for a maximum bonus that can be paid to any executive officer equal to one percent of Adjusted EBITDA. This plan is intended to qualify annual bonuses that are paid to our executives as performance-based compensation under the provisions of Internal Revenue Code ("Code") Section 162(m). The Compensation Committee may exercise its discretion to reduce the awards and exercises this discretion under the Annual Bonus Plan described below. Based on the Company's achievement of Adjusted EBITDA of $667 million (as set forth in the 2016 Form 10-K), each executive officer would be eligible for an annual bonus of $6.67 million, prior to

the Compensation Committee exercising its discretion to reduce the awards, based on performance results under the Annual Bonus Plan (discussed below).

        The Company administers the Annual BonusIncentive Plan ("ABP"AIP"), our annual cash incentive program, which is designed to reward the achievement of specific pre-set financial results measured over one fiscal year (or, as applicable, a portion of a fiscal year) subject to the maximum amounts derived under the EABP.Executive Annual Bonus Plan ("EABP"). Stockholders of the Company approved the EABP at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, providing for a maximum bonus that can be paid to any executive officer equal to one percent of Adjusted EBITDA. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated deductions under Section 162(m) of the Code rendering the EABP ineffective for its intended purpose. Although in place for the 2018 fiscal year, the Compensation Committee terminated the EABP effective as of February 18, 2019. For 2016,2018, the ABPAIP was measured over the 20162018 calendar year results. Each participant iswas assigned an annual incentive target expressed as a percentage of base salary. For the NEOs, these targets ranged from 60 percent of base salary to 100 percent of base salary. The specific target bonus for each NEO is listed in the table below:

Performance Measures

        To encourage our executive officers to focus on short-termnear-term Company (and, where applicable, business unit) goals and financial performance, incentives under the ABPAIP are based on our performance with respect to the following measures and an individual performance evaluation, as determined by the Compensation Committee, at both a corporate consolidated and, where applicable, a business unit level:

        Adjusted EBITDA and revenue as well as the change in working capital and capital expendituresachievement metrics are included in the financial statements in Item 8 of the 2016 Form 10-K.discussed above on page 20.

        The performance measures above were selected as the most appropriate measures upon which to determine annual bonuses because they are the primary metrics that management believes build value in the Company. Additionally, these measures were selected to incentivize profitable growth, and cash flow generation to meet debt obligations and fund investments for future growth.with a focus on enhancing the customer experience as measured by customer retention rate. All of the opportunity for payment under the ABPAIP to our NEOs is based on these performance measures. For 2016, the Compensation Committee used its negative discretion under the EABP to award annual bonuses similar to what would have been earned under the ABP.


Table of Contentsmeasures and individual performance.

        Payments under the ABPAIP were also subject to the achievement of a minimum level of performance on the Adjusted EBITDA financial measure ("Adjusted EBITDA Threshold"). In order to earn any payment under the ABP,AIP, the Adjusted EBITDA Threshold had to be achieved at the corporate consolidated or, where applicable, business unit levels. The Adjusted EBITDA Threshold was exceeded by the Corporate organization, Terminix and ServiceMaster Brands, but was not met by AHS. Stockholders of the Company approved the EABP at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, providing for a maximum bonus that can be paid to any executive officer equal to one percent of Adjusted EBITDA. As noted above, due to changes in the tax law the company has terminated the EABP.

business unit's, approved business plan for the year. In the event we and, where applicable, the business unit, achieve the performance targets specified in the table above, payout under the ABPAIP would be 100%100 percent of a specified percentage of the executive's base salary. InPerformance below the event wetarget goal would result in below target payouts and where applicable, the business unit do not achieve the performance targets, a lesser bonus mayabove target goals would pay above target and be earned if we and, where applicable, the business unit meet or exceed the threshold amounts for the performance targets, which are generally equal to the previous year's results achieved for the applicable performance measure. In the event we exceed the performance targets, the amount of the bonus will increase accordingly with the maximum bonus payablesubject to any executive officer represented by the calculated bonus undercap based on the EABP. The components and weightings of the performance measures are reviewed and determined annually by the Compensation Committee to reflect Company strategy. The Compensation Committee also considers an evaluation of the individual performance for each executive officer and may adjust the formulaic bonus calculation based on its evaluation, again subject to the maximum limits set under the EABP.EABP for 2018.

        The tables below provide information regarding the 2016 ABP2018 AIP for our participating NEOs, including the performance goals, the weight assigned to each performance goal and the payout as a percentage of the target bonus if the threshold or target performance goal is met. The performance goals and relative weightings reflect the Compensation Committee's objective of ensuring that a substantial amount of each NEO's total compensation is tied to applicable overall corporate and business unit performance. Although Ms. Wegner and Mr. Wick assumed new leadership positions in Franchise Services Group and Terminix, their respective 2016 bonuses were measured only on Terminix and Franchise Services Group performance, as applicable, as well as their individual performance.

        The "% of Target Performance for Threshold Payout" is equal to threshold performance (which is generally equal to the prior year's actual performance) divided by the current year's target goal. The payout levels for performance above threshold are generally based on a 6:10:1 ratio—for every one percent of achievement above threshold performance levels, the plan pays out sixten additional percentage points of the targeted payout. We believe the 6:10:1 ratio to be an effective motivator to improveprovide significant rewards for exceptional performance. The customer count metric is measured and rewarded using a different scale than the 10:1 ratio. The customer count metric is based on the basis point change year over year as defined in the prior year's results.annual operating plan. Threshold is set at 25 percent of the target change and will determine a payout of 25 percent of that portion of the total payout. The 2016 ABPscale increases to a 100 percent payout at target and 150 percent at the stretch target, with interpolation between achievement and payout levels. The 2018 AIP target payout opportunity for each participating NEO was based on our review of Peer Group and survey data and the importance of the NEO's position relative to our overall financial success. The revenue threshold for 2016 was reduced by $32 million to reflect the conversion

Mr. Varty's annual incentive payment was below the calculated funding level as the Company fell short of internal financial goals. The Compensation Committee exercised its discretion and reduced the funding level for Corporate organizations to 89 percent of target levels from the calculated 94 percent achievement due to the adjustment for area wide events (hurricanes and large area disasters) as well as the underperformance of AHS for the first three quarters of the year. Consequently, the Compensation Committee determined Mr. Varty's annual incentive to be paid in line with the Corporate funding level.

(2)
Mr. DiLucente's annual incentive payment exceeded the calculated payout level as the Compensation Committee determined, based upon the CEO's recommendation, that his leadership and contributions focused on the spin-off of AHS and the internal streamlining of the Finance function, along with the CEO's evaluation of his individual performance, merited a higher level of payment.

Mr. Persson's annual incentive payment exceeded the calculated amount as the Compensation Committee determined, based upon the CEO's recommendation, that his leadership of the activities related to the spin-off of AHS, his role in developing the Company's strategy and his leadership in executing the Company's acquisition strategy, along with the CEO's evaluation of his individual performance, merited a higher level of annual incentive.

Mr. Stevenson's annual incentive payment exceeded the calculated amount as the Compensation Committee determined, based upon the CEO's recommendation, that the structural changes, streamlining of service delivery and heightened focus on the customer experience set the framework for improved performance, both near-term and longer-term at Terminix, along with the CEO's evaluation of his individual performance, merited a higher level of annual incentive.

The exercise price of the stock options was the fair market value of the Company's common stock as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

        The PSU awards will be earned over a three-year performance period (2016 - 2018) based on the achievement of a cumulative adjusted earnings per share ("Adjusted EPS"), which is defined in the award agreements on file with the SEC. The cumulative Adjusted EPS must meet a threshold level for PSUs to be earned at 50% of the target award, with a maximum 200% of the target number of PSUs earned if the Adjusted EPS achievement is equal to or greater than 125% of target. This cumulative Adjusted EPS target was set at a challenging level that would be achieved only if the Company's performance delivers a significant return to stockholders.

MSIP

        Prior to our IPO in June 2014, the Amended and Restated ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan ("MSIP") provided certain key associates (including all of our NEOs) with the opportunity (1) to invest in shares of our common stock via actual share purchases and (2) to receive RSUs and options to purchase shares of our common stock. We believe that the opportunity for


Table of Contents

executive officers to purchase shares by making a significant monetary investment in the Company encouraged their focus on long-term performance, thereby aligning their interests with the interests of our stockholders. All equity awards granted subsequent to the IPO were made under the provisions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, which became effective on June 26, 2014 and was approved by stockholders at the 2015 Annual Meeting. No further awards will be made under the MSIP, but awards previously granted under the MSIP, including to the NEOs, are still outstanding.

        For each share of common stock purchased by an NEO under the MSIP, we granted such NEO up to four matching options to purchase shares of our common stock ("Matching Options"), except in the case of Mr. Gillette, where we granted five and one half Matching Options for each share purchased. Prior to our IPO, we had also awarded RSUs under the MSIP to both newly hired executives and longer tenured executive officers. Each RSU represents a right to receive a share of common stock in the future, if and when the RSU vests. Vesting of RSUs is subject to the executive's continued employment.

        The purchase of shares under the MSIP allowed executive officers to have a stake in our performance by putting their own financial resources at risk. Additionally, through stock option and RSU grants under the MSIP and now the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the executive officers are encouraged to focus on sustained increases in stockholder value. Specifically, we believe the granting of stock options and RSUs both time vested and performance based, assists us to:

Omnibus Incentive Plan

        In connection with our IPO, our board of directors adopted and our stockholders approved the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Our directors, officers, associates and consultants are eligible to receive awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan may be made in the form ofdelivered through stock options which may be either incentive stockand 50 percent delivered through RSUs). Prior to 2018, the Company used an equity mix of 50 percent options or non-qualified stock options; stock purchase rights; restricted stock; RSUs; performance shares; PSUs; stock appreciation rights ("SARs"); dividend equivalents; deferred share units; and other stock-based awards.50 percent PSUs. For 2018, the Compensation Committee decided to replace PSUs with RSUs on a one-time basis due to the complexities in determining longer term financial goals given the projected spin-off of AHS later in 2018. In 2019, the Compensation Committee returned to 50 percent PSUs combined with 30 percent options and 20 percent RSUs.

        The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the equity holdings of executive officers of the Company to ensure there are appropriate levels of ownership and incentive and retention value. The Compensation Committee also reviews competitive market practice regarding the awarding of LTI awards and, following its assessment during 20162018 of our executives' stock holdings and future long-term incentive opportunity, the Compensation Committee approved a LTI strategy and subsequently approved awards for the NEOs. The 2018 equity awards are comprised of a mix ofboth stock options and PSUs,RSUs, with equivalent grant date value. The specific size and value of the awards are detailed in the Summary Compensation and the Grants of Plan Based Award tables below. The Compensation Committee also approved a RSU awardsaward in October 2018 to Mr. Persson to recognize new responsibilitieshis efforts leading activities for Ms. Wegnerthe spin-off of AHS and for his leadership in developing the Company's long-term and merger and acquisition strategy. Additionally, Mr. Wick, both receiving 6,454Tibbens received two grants of RSUs, one that vests in November 2016.equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant and the other that has vested or will vest in equal installments on February 18, 2019, February 18, 2020 and February 18, 2021. He also received two stock option grants, one that vests in equal installments on the first four anniversaries of the grant and the other that has vested or will vest in equal installments on February 18, 2019, February 18, 2010, February 18, 2021 and February 18, 2022. These RSUgrants of RSUs and stock options were converted to RSUs and stock options in Frontdoor stock effective October 1, 2018. The terms and conditions of the grants remained the same as the original grants prior to the conversion.

        Stock options awarded are nonqualified stock options with vesting generally in equal installments on the first four anniversaries of the grant date. The exercise price of the stock options is the fair market value of the Company's common stock as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Stock option awards granted in February 2019, and options awarded in the future, will vest in equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant dates.date.

        The RSU awards will generally vest in three equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date. Effective July 31, 2018, PSUs previously granted to certain executive officers of the Company on February 22, 2016 and February 20, 2017 were cancelled by the Compensation Committee


Table of Contents

of the Board of Directors due to the complexities of adjusting such awards as a consequence of the planned spin-off of the AHS business and because the awards were tracking below payout threshold at the time of cancellation. The executive officers voluntarily agreed to the cancellation of these awards. The awards were cancelled for Mr. DiLucente and Ms. Wegner.

Double Trigger Vesting Upon Change In Control

        The Company has adopted "double trigger" vesting acceleration in the event of a change in control of the Company, effective for all equity awards granted on or after April 23, 2018. This "double trigger" vesting acceleration provision was already included in our stock option agreements, but the Compensation Committee's action includes this provision in all other stock awards. If the Compensation Committee reasonably determines prior to a change in control that an employee would receive an "Alternative Award" meeting the requirements of the Omnibus Incentive Plan; provided, however, that if within two years following a change in control, the employee's employment is involuntarily (other than for cause) terminated or the employee resigns with good reason, at a time when any portion of the Alternative Award is unvested, the unvested portion of such Alternative Award shall immediately vest in full and such employee shall be provided with either cash or marketable stock equal to the fair market value of the stock subject to the Alternative Award on the date of termination.

        On the October 1, 2018 effective date of the spin-off of AHS, LTI awards were adjusted to reflect the spin-off of AHS. All stock option grants were adjusted and concentrated in the company of employment immediately post-spin. Both the number of options and the exercise price, were adjusted to provide equivalent in-the-money value post-spin as existed immediately pre-spin. Holders of outstanding RSU awards were provided an election to concentrate their RSU awards into their company of employment post-spin or to receive RSUs in Frontdoor at the distribution rate of one Frontdoor RSU for each two ServiceMaster RSUs. Messrs. Varty, DiLucente and Stevenson elected to concentrate their RSUs into ServiceMaster RSUs, and consequently, their respective RSU awards, including the number of RSUs were adjusted to provide value equivalent to the pre-spin value. Mr. Persson and Ms. Wegner elected to receive RSUs of Frontdoor as well as maintaining their original number of RSUs in ServiceMaster, consistent with the terms of their existing RSU agreements. Mr. Tibbens' RSUs were concentrated into RSUs in Frontdoor as he holds the position of President and CEO of Frontdoor. All awards listed in the Summary Compensation, Grants of Plan Based Awards (2018), Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End (2018), and Option Exercises and Stock Vested (2018) tables reflect the applicable adjustments related to the spin-off of Frontdoor to stock option and RSU awards. All awards, whether in ServiceMaster or Frontdoor retained the same terms and conditions, including the vesting terms, as the original ServiceMaster awards. Individual awards are detailed in the Grants of Plan Based Awards table below.

Omnibus Incentive Plan

        Our board of directors adopted and our stockholders approved the Omnibus Incentive Plan in 2015. Our directors, officers, employees and consultants are eligible to receive awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan may be made in the form of stock options, which may be either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options; stock purchase rights; restricted stock; RSUs; performance RSUs; performance shares; PSUs; stock appreciation rights ("SARs"); dividend equivalents; deferred share units; and other stock-based awards.

        A total of 6,811,3375,817,681 shares of our common stock remained available for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2016.2018. This figure represented approximately fivefour percent of the shares of our common stock that were outstanding as of December 31, 2016.2018. During any period that Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code is applicable to us, (1) the maximum number of stock options, SARs or other awards based solely on the increase in the value of common stock that a participant may receive in any year is 2,000,000; (2) a participant may receive a maximum of 1,000,000

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

        The Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") was approved by stockholders at the 2015 Annual Meeting in April 2015. A total of 1,000,000 shares was authorized by stockholders for issuance under the ESPP. Purchases under the ESPP were suspended in 2018 due to the pending spin-off of Frontdoor.

        Under the plan, eligible employees of the Company may purchase common stock, subject to IRS limits, during pre-specified offering periods at a discount established by theThe Compensation Committee amended the ESPP in February 2019 to allow for more frequent purchase periods and to change the allowed 10 percent discount to a company match of 10%10 percent of the then-current fair market value.

Retirement Benefits

        Associates,Employees, including the NEOs, are generally eligible to participate in the ServiceMaster Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan, as amended and restated, as it may be further amended from time to time (the "PSRP"). The PSRP is a tax qualified 401(k) defined contribution plan under which we may make discretionary matching contributions. Historically, we have provided for a matching contribution in the PSRP where associatesemployees receive a dollar for dollar match on the first 1%one percent of their contributions, and then a $0.50 per dollar match on the next 2%two percent to 6%six percent contributed. Company matching contributions for the NEOs are set forth below in the All Other Compensation table.

        We also maintain the ServiceMaster Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended and restated, as it may be further amended from time to time (the "DCP"), which is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan designed to afford certain highly compensated associatesemployees (including the NEOs, executive officers and certain other associates)employees) the opportunity to defer additional amounts of compensation on a pre-tax basis. No NEOs participated inMessrs. DiLucente and Stevenson contributed to the DCP during 2016 nor do any NEOs have a balance in the DCP.2018.

Employee Benefits and Executive Perquisites

        We offer a variety of health and welfare programs to all eligible associates,employees, including the NEOs. The NEOs are eligible for the same health and welfare benefit programs on the same basis as the rest of our associates,employees, including medical and dental care coverage, life insurance coverage and short and long-term disability.

        We limit the use of perquisites as a method of compensation and provide executive officers with only those perquisites that we believe are reasonable and consistent with our compensation goal of enabling us to attract and retain superior executives for key positions. The perquisites provided to our NEOs are memberships in social and professional clubs.

        Mr. Gillette is also provided with personal use of our aircraft and certain spousal travel as described in his employment agreement. The personal use of the company aircraft benefit in Mr. Gillette'sVarty's employment agreement provides that we will bearprovided for corporate housing through July 2018 and the full costreimbursement of up to 100 flight hours of the executive's personal use of our aircraft per calendar year, including the cost of landing fees, but excluding any taxes imputed to the executive.reasonable weekly commuting expenses between Detroit, Michigan and Memphis, Tennessee through July 2018.

        Our aircraft policy provides thatwas amended in October 2018 to require the approval of the Chairman of the board of directors to approve personal use of the Company aircraft by the CEO. Prior to the amendment to the policy in October the CEO shallwas required to reimburse us for personal use of the company aircraft exceeding 100 hours annually. Any amount so reimbursed to us would be applied to reduce the executive's taxable income arising from the personal use. If our CEO utilizes our aircraft for commuting purposes,non-business reasons, the amount, applied toward his annual commuting benefit, included as All Other Compensation on the Summary Compensation Table below, is generally calculated under the income imputation rules established by the IRS for personal use of company aircraft. These rules require the cost of each flight to be estimated by applying published IRS per mile rates based on the size of the aircraft to the total miles flown. This method of calculation was affirmed by the Compensation Committee.

        ThePrior to the amendment to the policy in October, the CEO maycould approve the personal use of the company aircraft by other executive officers and directors as needed. During 2016, Messrs. Haughie, Haynes and Derwin utilized2018, Mr. Tibbens was authorized to use the company aircraft for family travelor a limited basis in conjunction with his hiring and move from Seattle, Washington to a Company-sponsored function upon approval by the CEO.Memphis, Tennessee.

Employment Arrangements

        We generally provide an executive with an offer letter prior to the time he or she joins the Company. The offer letter generally describes the basic terms of the executive's employment, including his or her start date, starting salary, ABPAIP bonus target, special bonuses (if any), relocation benefits, severance benefits (if any), sign-on bonus (if any) and equity awards granted in connection with the commencement of his or her employment. The terms of the executive's employment are thereafter based on sustained good performance rather than contractual terms and our policies will apply as warranted. Under certain circumstances, we recognize that special arrangements with respect to an executive's employment may be necessary or desirable. In 2013,July 2017, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. GilletteVarty setting forth the terms of his employment as our CEO. We also entered into severance agreements with Messrs. Haughie and Derwin setting forth certain severance benefits to be received by Messrs. Haughie and Derwin upon a qualifying termination of employment. In 2016, Mr. Derwin resigned from the Company and is receiving severance payments according to his approved severance agreement. The Company announced in January 2017 that Mr. Haughie would be leaving the Company in March 2017. Mr. Haughie will receive severance benefits consistent with his severance agreement. Please see the narrative following the table in "—Grants"Grants of Plan Based Awards (2016)(2018)" and the "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control" section for a description of the agreements with Messrs. Gillette, HaughieVarty, Persson, Stevenson and Derwin.Tibbens.

20172019 Long-Term Incentive Awards

        In the first quarter of 2017,2019, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of the equity awards set forth in the table below to our NEOs.NEOs (weighted 50 percent PSUs, 30 percent stock options and 20 percent RSUs). The PSUs have a performance period of three years, 2019 through 2021, based on the achievement of cumulative adjusted earnings per share and cumulative revenue goals, with a modifier based on total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to companies in our peer group. Any payout earned under the PSU award will be settled in the first quarter of 2022. The stock options are scheduled to vest and become exercisable in equal installments on the first fourthree anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the NEO's continued employment with the Company. The PSUs have a three-year performance cycle from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019, whereRSUs will vest in equal installments on the Company's cumulative Adjusted EPS goals will needfirst three anniversaries of the grant date. After granting stock options and RSUs in 2018 due to be achieved for suchthe complexity of the then expected spin-off of AHS, the Compensation Committee decided to return to the use of PSUs to vest.

Deferred Compensation Programs

        The DCP is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan designed to afford certain highly compensated employees the opportunity to defer up to 75 percent of their compensation on a pre-tax basis. Deferred amounts are credited with earnings or losses based on the rate of return of mutual funds selected by the participants in the DCP. The Company, in its sole discretion, may make matching contributions, based on the amounts that are deferred by employees pursuant to the DCP, but did not choose to make matching contributions for 2018. Distributions are paid at the time elected by the participant in accordance with the DCP.

        The DCP is not currently funded by the Company, and participants have an unsecured contractual commitment from any prior year.the Company to pay the amounts due under the DCP. All plan assets are held in trust and are considered general assets of the Company. When such payments are due, the cash will be distributed from the DCP's trust.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Severance Benefits for NEOs

        Unless modified by separate agreement, and except as described below, upon a termination of employment for any reason, we have no obligation to pay any prospective amounts or provide any benefits to our NEOs. Our obligations will consist of those obligations accrued at the date of termination, including payment of earned salary, vacation, reimbursement of expenses and obligations that may otherwise be payable in the event of death or disability.

        For the purpose of the following discussion, "cause" means a material breach by the executive of the duties and responsibilities of the executive (other than as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness) that is demonstrably willful and deliberate on the executive's part, committed in bad faith or without reasonable belief that such breach is in our best interests and not remedied in a reasonable period of time after receipt of written notice from us specifying such breach; or the commission by the executive of a felony or misdemeanor involving any act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty or any other intentional misconduct by the executive that materially and adversely affects our business affairs or reputation. The NEOs' agreements described below also include in the definition of "cause": any failure by the executive to cooperate with any investigation or inquiry into the executive's business practices, whether internal or external, including, but not limited to, the executive's refusal to be deposed or to provide testimony at any trial or inquiry.

        Upon each executive's death or disability, we will pay to the executive (or his or her executors or legal representatives, to the extent applicable) the annual bonus earned for the fiscal year immediately preceding the date of termination to the extent not previously paid; plus if the date of termination is after June 30 of a fiscal year, a prorated bonus through his date of termination (determined based on the target bonus, in the event of retirement or death, or actual accomplishment, in the event of disability).

Mr. GilletteVarty

        Mr. Gillette'sVarty's employment agreement provides that if we were to terminate Mr. Gillette'sVarty's employment without cause, or Mr. GilletteVarty terminates his employment for good reason, he would receive: (1) continued payment of his monthly base salary for 24 months following the date of termination; (2) reimbursement of COBRA premiums paid by him for 18 months following the date of termination (and reimbursement of COBRA premiums for up to an additional 6 months following the end of the original 18 month period to the extent that Mr. GilletteVarty and his dependents have not obtained coverage from a subsequent employer); (3) the annual bonus earned for the fiscal year immediately preceding the date of termination to the extent not previously paid; (4) a prorated bonus through his date of

termination; and (5) an amount equal to two times his average annual bonus paid or payable to Mr. GilletteVarty with respect to the two fiscal years immediately preceding the date of termination or, if Mr. GilletteVarty has not received an annual bonus for either or both of those fiscal years immediately preceding the date of termination, with such average to be calculated using his target annual bonus for such year or years, as applicable. Payments of Mr. Gillette'sVarty's severance benefits are subject to Mr. GilletteVarty signing a general release of claims. Mr. GilletteVarty is also subject to covenants not to compete or solicit for two years following termination and an indefinite covenant not to disclose confidential information. Upon Mr. Gillette'sVarty's retirement, death or disability, we shall pay to Mr. GilletteVarty (or his executors or legal representatives)representatives, to the extent applicable) the annual bonus earned for the fiscal year immediately preceding the date of termination to the extent not previously paid, plus a prorated bonus through his date of termination. The treatment of equity awards granted to Mr. Varty is described below under the "MSIP and Omnibus Incentive Plan" section.

Mr. HaughieTibbens

        We entered into a severanceMr. Tibbens' employment agreement with Mr. Haughie upon his hire that provides that if we were to terminate Mr. Haughie's employment without cause, or if he were to terminate his employment for good reason, he wouldwill receive: (1) continued payment of his monthly base salary, at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination, for 12 months following the Date of Termination; provided that such payment period shall be for 24 months following the date of termination; (2) an amount equal to the executive's then current year's annual bonus at target; (3)termination if the date of termination is after June 30prior to January 1, 2020; (2) a lump sum payment equal to Mr. Tibbens' target bonus; (3) to the extent not already vested by their terms on or prior to such date of a fiscal year, a prorated bonus throughtermination, the Sign-On RSUs will become immediately vested on the date of termination; and (4) an amount equal to 12 times the executive's monthly cost for health care continuation coverage for those eligible plans in place immediately prior to termination. Mr. Haughie left the Company on March 15, 2017, which will result in payments under his approved severance agreement.

Mr. Derwin

        We entered into a severance agreement with Mr. Derwin upon his hire that provides that if we were to terminate Mr. Derwin's employment without cause, or if he were to terminate his employment for good reason, he would receive: (1) continued payment of monthly base salary for 12 months following the date of termination; (2) an amount equal to the executive's then current year's annual bonus at target; (3) ifearned for the date of termination is after June 30 of a2018 fiscal year, a prorated bonus through the date of termination; and (4) an amount equal to 12 times the executive's monthly cost for health care continuation coverage for those eligible plans in place immediately prior to termination. Mr. Derwin resigned from the Company during 2016, resulting in payments under his approved severance agreement.year.

Severance Arrangements with Other NEOs

        We have not historically offered severance agreements or change in control agreements to newly hired executive officers; however, the Compensation Committee periodically reassesses the need to offer these types of arrangements as part of maintaining competitive executive compensation packagesofficers. Messrs. DiLucente, Persson and has included severance agreements for Messrs. Haughie and Derwin, where the agreement was needed to hire the executive. Messrs. Haynes and WickStevenson and Ms. Wegner are covered under our


Table of Contents

standard severance practices and guidelines. As an officer who reports directly to our CEO, he or she is eligible to receive severance if terminated without cause (as defined in "—Potential"Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control—Severance Benefits for NEOs"). Under our practice for executive officers as in effect as of December 31, 2016,2018, in the event of such termination, an amount equal to one times base salary plus target bonus for the year of termination is paid out generally in monthly installments over a period of 12 to 18 months, and, if termination occurs after June 30 of a year, a prorated portion of the bonus earned under the ABPAIP would be payable to the terminated executive at the same time as annual bonuses are paid to other executives for the applicable year, subject to execution of a general release and observing covenants not to compete, solicit, nor disclose confidential information. The Compensation Committee adopted severance guidelines in July 2018 that provide for enhanced severance payments to executive officers in the event of a change in control and subsequent termination from the acquiring company within 24 months of the change in control, a "double trigger provision." The guidelines provide for the payment of two times annual salary and target bonus upon the termination following a change in control.

MSIP and Omnibus Incentive Plan

        If an executive's employment is terminated by us for "cause" (as defined in the MSIP and Omnibus Incentive Plan) all options (vested and unvested), unvested RSUs, unvested restricted stock and unvested performance RSUs are immediately cancelled.

        If an executive's employment is terminated by us without "cause" or if the executive voluntarily terminates his employment for any reason, all unvested options, RSUs and PSUs immediately terminate. Upon such a termination, the executive may exercise vested options before the first to occur of (1) the three month anniversary of the executive's termination of employment, (2) the expiration of


Table of Contents

the options' normal term, after which date such options are cancelled or (3) the cancellation of the options in the event of a change in control in exchange for a cash payment.

        If an executive's employment terminates by reason of death or disability, all unvested options will vest, and all options will remain exercisable until the first to occur of (1) the one year anniversary of the executive's date of termination, (2) the expiration of the options' normal term, after which date such options are cancelled or (3) the cancellation of the options in the event of a change in control in exchange for a cash payment. RSUs will vest as to the number of RSUs that would have vested on the next anniversary of the grant date (assuming the executive's employment had continued through such anniversary) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed since (x) the grant date, if the termination due to death or disability occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the grant date, or (y) the most recent prior anniversary of the grant date, if the termination due to death or disability occurs after the first anniversary of the grant date, and the denominator of which was 366365 for 2016. PSUs will vest as to the number of PSUs that would have vested at "Target," multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed from the grant date through the date of death or disability and the denominator of which is the number of days in the performance cycle.2018.

        The stock option agreements provide that all then outstanding options (whether vested or unvested) will be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment if we experience a "change in control" (as defined in the MSIP and the Omnibus Incentive Plan), unless the board of directors reasonably determines in good faith that options with substantially equivalent or better terms are substituted for the existing options. Upon a change in control, all RSUs will become vested. For stock option and RSU awards granted April 23, 2018 and later, no cancellation, acceleration of vesting or other payment shall occur with respect to any RSU in connection with a change in control occurring prior to the third anniversary of the grant date, all RSUsif the administrator reasonably determines prior to the change in control that the executive shall receive an "alternative award" meeting the requirements of the plan; provided, however, that if within two years following a change in control, the executive's employment is involuntarily terminated (other than for cause) or the executive resigns with good reason, at a time when any portion of the alternative award is unvested, the unvested portion of such alternative award shall immediately vest in full and such executive shall be provided with either cash or marketable stock equal to the fair market value of the stock subject to the alternative award on the date of termination. Notwithstanding the plan terms, certain legacy RSU grant agreements provide for accelerated vesting on a change in control occurring prior to vesting.

        Mr. Varty's equity awards (granted in connection with his employment agreement and any other awards granted to Mr. Varty under the Omnibus Incentive Plan) will become vested and PSUs willalso vest atif he is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason, within 24 months following the "Target" numbersigning of units awarded.a definitive agreement, which if consummated, would result in a change in control.

        The Compensation Committee also has the discretion to accelerate the vesting of options and RSUs or PSUs at any time and from time to time.

CEO Pay Ratio

        To determine the CEO pay ratio, we included our global population as of December 31, 2018. We used actual compensation data from the Company's human resource systems for employees in the United States and target compensation for employees outside the United States. We annualized pay for employees, including part-time employees, who commenced work in 2018. Pay for part-time employees who commenced work in 2018 was annualized only to the extent of the part-time hours they would have worked during 2018. We determined our median employee based on this data. We calculated the median base salary and determined that person's total compensation was $47,907 in 2018. Our CEO's annual compensation for 2018 was $5,526,809, including the grant date value of equity awards. As a result, the ratio of CEO pay to median employee pay for 2018 was 115:1.

        The SEC's pay ratio disclosure rules permit the use of estimates, assumptions and adjustments, and the SEC has acknowledged that pay ratio disclosures may involve a degree of imprecision. The resulting pay ratio as calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules and we believe it constitutes a reasonable estimate. However, as contemplated by SEC rules, we relied on methods and assumptions that we determined to be appropriate for calculating the pay ratio at ServiceMaster. Other companies will use methods and assumptions that differ from the ones we chose but are appropriate for their circumstances. It may therefore be difficult, for this and other reasons, to compare our reported pay ratio to pay ratios reported by other companies.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

        The following table sets forth information as of March 7, 20172019 with respect to the ownership of our common stock by:

        The amounts and percentages of shares beneficially owned are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under SEC rules, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Securities that can be so acquired are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing such person's ownership percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other person's percentage. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest.

        Percentage computations are based on 134,404,265136,057,181 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 7, 2017.

        OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE CLASS IIIII NOMINEES LISTED ABOVE.


PROPOSAL 2: NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

        As a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and in accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the Company's stockholders are entitled to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs. This non-binding advisory vote, commonly known as a "Say-on-Pay" vote, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our NEOs' compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our NEOs and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. At the 20162018 Annual Meeting, stockholders approved the 20162018 Say-on-Pay vote and at the 2015 Annual Meeting approved the advisory vote on the frequency of Say-on-Pay vote for every year. As such, we expect to present a Say-on-Pay vote to stockholders each year.

        As described in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section of this proxy statement (the "CD&A"), the Compensation Committee is tasked with the implementation of our executive


Table of Contents

compensation philosophy, and the core of that philosophy has been, and continues to be, to pay our executives based on our performance. In particular, the Compensation Committee strives to (i) attract and retain highly motivated, qualified and experienced executives, (ii) focus the attention of the NEOs on the strategic, operational and financial performance of the Company and (iii) encourage the NEOs to meet long-term performance objectives and increase stockholder value. To do so, the Compensation Committee uses a combination of short-near- and long-term incentive compensation to motivate and reward executives who have the ability to significantly influence our long-term financial success and who are responsible for effectively managing our operations in a way that maximizes stockholder value. It is always the intention of the Compensation Committee that our executive officers be compensated competitively with the market and consistently with our business strategy, sound corporate governance principles and stockholder interests and concerns. We believe our compensation program is effective, appropriate and strongly aligned with the long-term interests of our stockholders and that the total compensation package provided to our NEOs are reasonable and not excessive.


Table of Contents

        For these reasons, the board of directors is asking stockholders to vote "FOR" the following resolution:

        As you consider this Proposal 2, we urge you to read the CD&A section of this proxy statement for additional details on executive compensation, including the more detailed information about our compensation philosophy and objectives and the past compensation of our NEOs, and to review the tabular disclosures regarding NEO compensation together with the accompanying narrative disclosures in the "Executive Compensation" section of this proxy statement.

        As an advisory vote, Proposal 2 is not binding on our board of directors or the Compensation Committee, will not overrule any decisions made by our board of directors or the Compensation Committee or require our board of directors or the Compensation Committee to take any specific action. Although the vote is non-binding, our board of directors and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and will carefully consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our NEOs.

        OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" NON-BINDING ADVISORY APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.


PROPOSAL 3: RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

        The Audit Committee of the board of directors has selected Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 20172019 and recommends that the stockholders vote for ratification of such selection. Prior to appointing Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017,2019, the Audit Committee reviewed the performance of Deloitte and made inquiries of management regarding Deloitte's performance. The Audit Committee has sole and direct responsibility for the appointment, retention, termination, compensation, evaluation and oversight of the work of any independent registered public accounting firm engaged by the Company. In the event of a negative vote on the ratification, the Audit Committee may reconsider its appointment of Deloitte for 2017;2019; however, the Audit Committee will consider the outcome of the vote when making appointments of our independent registered public accounting firm in future years.


Table Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of Contentsa different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the Company's and the stockholders' best interests.

        Representatives of Deloitte are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so, and to respond to appropriate questions from those attending the meeting.

Evaluation and Oversight Responsibilities

        The Audit Committee evaluates the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm each year. In determining whether to reappoint Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee considers a number of factors, including:


Table of Contents

Considered together, these factors enable the Audit Committee to evaluate whether the selection of Deloitte as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, and the retention of Deloitte to perform other services, will contribute to, and enhance, audit quality. Based on its evaluation, the Audit Committee believes that the continued retention of Deloitte to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interest of our stockholders.

Review and Assessment of Audit and Related Services

        The Audit Committee has sole and direct responsibility for assessing the overall value, both quality and cost, of the annual audit and related services provided by Deloitte. They actively monitor the engagement through all phases of the process, including approving audit fees and other related fees and assessing overall value delivered. Each year Deloitte makes a proposal of services to be performed and the fees related to such services. The Audit Committee, along with management, engages Deloitte in a negotiation of such fees, consistent with the value of a quality audit. Our Audit Committee members are experienced in the accounting industry and sit on other boards and audit committees, which provides them with competitive insight that allows them to assess the total value derived from the annual audit and related services.

        The following table presents, for 20162018 and 2015,2017, fees for professional services rendered by Deloitte for the audit of our annual financial statements, audit-related services, tax services and all other services. In accordance with the SEC's definitions and rules, "audit fees" are fees we paid Deloitte for professional services for the audit of our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by Deloitte in connection with statutory and

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

        In accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Audit Committee charter provides that the Audit Committee of the board of directors has the sole authority and responsibility to pre-approve all audit services, audit- related tax services and other permitted services to be performed for the Company by its independent auditors and the related fees. Pursuant to its charter and in compliance with rules of the SEC and PCAOB, the Audit Committee has established a pre-approval policy that requires the pre-approval of all services to be performed by the independent auditors. The independent auditors may be considered for other services not specifically approved as audit services or audit-related services and tax services so long as the services are not prohibited by SEC or PCAOB rules and would not otherwise impair the independence of the independent auditor.

        All of the services performed by Deloitte during the year ended December 31, 20162018 and 20152017 were approved in advance by the Audit Committee pursuant to the pre-approval policy.
