PROXY STATEMENT
ROLLINS, INC.
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD APRIL 22, 2008


        This Proxy Statement and a form of proxy were first mailed to stockholders on or about April 4, 2006.March 17, 2008. The following information concerning the enclosed proxy and the matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on April 25, 2006,22, 2008, is submitted by the Company to the stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Company's Board of Directors.


SOLICITATION OF AND POWER TO REVOKE PROXY

        A form of proxy is enclosed. Each proxy submitted will be voted as directed, but if not otherwise specified, proxies solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company will be voted in favor of the candidates for election to the Board of Directors.Directors and in favor of the proposals to approve the Performance-Based Incentive Cash Compensation Plan for Executive Officers and the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan.

        A stockholder executing and delivering a proxy has power to revoke the same and the authority thereby given at any time prior to the exercise of such authority, if he so elects, by contacting either proxy holder or by attending the meeting and voting in person. However, a beneficial stockholder who holds his shares in street name must secure a proxy from his broker before he can attend the meeting and vote. All costs of solicitation have been, and will be, borne by the Company.

Householding and Delivery of Proxy Materials

        The Company has adopted the process called "householding" for mailing the proxy material in order to reduce printing costs and postage fees. Householding means that stockholders who share the same last name and address will receive only one copy of the Proxy Material, unless we receive contrary instructions from any stockholder at that address. The Company will continue to mail a proxy card to each stockholder of record.

        If you prefer to receive multiple copies of the proxy material at the same address, additional copies will be provided to you promptly upon written or oral request. If you are a stockholder of record, you may contact us by writing to the Company 2170 Piedmont Rd., NE, Atlanta, GA 30324 or by calling 404-888-2000. Eligible stockholders of record receiving multiple copies of the Proxy Material can request householding by contacting the Company in the same manner.


CAPITAL STOCK

        The outstanding capital stock of the Company on March 17, 2006February 29, 2008 consisted of 68,585,567100,876,558 shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote (non-cumulative) for each share of such stock registered in their respective names at the close of business on March 17, 2006,February 29, 2008, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

        A majority of the outstanding shares will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. In accordance with the General Corporation Law of the state of Delaware, the election of the nominees named herein as Directors will require the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote in the election provided that a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. In the case of a plurality vote requirement (as in the election of



directors), where no particular percentage vote is required, the outcome is solely a matter of comparing the number of votes cast for each nominee, with those nominees receiving the most votes being elected, and hence only votes for director nominees (and not abstentions) are relevant to the outcome. In this case, the two nominees receiving the most votes will be elected. The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stockcommon stock of the Company entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting is required for approval of the proposal to amend the Certificate of Incorporation. With respect to the proposalproposals to approve the amendment toPerformance-Based Incentive Cash Compensation Plan for Executive Officers and the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, abstentions and broker non-votes2008 Stock Incentive Plan. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against those proposals and broker non-votes will be disregarded and will have no effect on the proposal.outcome of the vote on those proposals. There are no rights of appraisal or similar dissenter's rights with respect to any matter to be acted upon pursuant to this Proxy Statement. It is expected that shares held of record by officers and directors of the Company, which in the aggregate represent approximately 56.859 percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, will be voted for the nominees and the proposals to approve the Performance-Based Incentive Cash Compensation Plan for directorsExecutive Officers and in favor of the proposal to amend the Certificate of Incorporation.2008 Stock Incentive Plan.

        Independence Guidelines.    Under New York Stock Exchange listing standards, to be considered independent, a director must be determined to have no material relationship with the Company other than as a director. The New York Stock Exchange standards set forth a nonexclusive list of relationships which are conclusively deemed material.

        The Company's Independence Guidelines (Appendix A to the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines) are posted on the Company's website atwww.rollins.com under the Governance section. These Independence Guidelines provide that to be independent, a director must not have any relationship that would be considered material under New York Stock Exchange Standards. In addition, the Company's Guidelines provide that, except in special circumstances as determined by a majority of the Board, the following relationships are not material:


        Audit Committee Charter.    Under the Company's Audit Committee Charter, in accordance with New York Stock Exchange listing requirements and the Securities Exchange Act, of 1934, all members of the Audit Committee must be independent of management and the Company. A member of the Audit Committee is considered independent as long as he or she (i) does not accept any consulting, advisory, or compensatory fee from the Company, other than as a director or committee member; (ii) is not an affiliated person of the Company or its subsidiaries; and (iii) otherwise meets the independence requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines.

        As required by the Independence Guidelines, the Board of Directors unanimously concluded that the above-listed relationships would not affect the independent judgment of the independent directors, based on their experience, character and independent means, and therefore do not preclude an independence determination.

The Audit Committee's responsibility is generally to monitor and oversee these processes, as described in the Audit Committee Charter.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATIONDISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

        TheCompensation Committee

        During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the members of our Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors hasheld primary responsibility for determining the base salary for all of the executive officers, the stock-based incentive plans for all of the executive officers, as well as the cash incentive plan for all of the executive officers.compensation levels. The Compensation Committee is comprisedcomposed of outsidethree of our non-management directors who aredo not eligible to participate in the Company's compensation plansplans. The Committee determines the compensation and over whose names this report is presented.administers the performance-based cash compensation plan for our executive officers. In addition, the Committee also administers our Stock Incentive Plan for all the employees.

        The members of our Compensation Committee have extensive and varied experience with various public and private corporations—as investors and stockholders, as senior executives, and as directors charged with the oversight of management and the setting of executive compensation levels. Henry B. Tippie, the Chairman of the Compensation Committee, has served on the board of directors of twelve different publicly traded companies and has been involved in setting executive compensation levels at all of these companies. Messrs. Wilton Looney and James B. Williams have served on the board of directors of several different publicly traded companies and have similarly been involved in setting executive compensation levels at many of these companies.

        The Compensation Committee has authority to engage attorneys, accountants and consultants, including executive compensation consultants, to solicit input from management concerning compensation matters, and to delegate any of its responsibilities to one or more directors or members of management where it deems such delegation appropriate and permitted under applicable law. The Committee has not used the services of any compensation consultants in determining or recommending the amount of form of executive compensation.

        The Compensation Committee believes that determinations relative to executive compensation levels are best left to the discretion of the Committee. In addition to the extensive experience and expertise of the Committee's members and their familiarity with the Company's performance and the performance of our executive officers, the Committee is able to draw on the experience of other directors and on various legal and accounting executives employed by the Company, isand the Committee has access to the wealth of readily available public information relative to structuring executive compensation programs and setting appropriate compensation levels. The Committee also believes that the structure of our executive compensation programs should not become overly complicated or difficult to understand. The Committee solicits input from our Chief Executive Officer with respect to the performance of our executive officers and their compensation levels.


General Compensation Objectives and Guidelines

        We are engaged in a highly competitive industry. The actions of the executive officers have a profound impactWe believe that our success depends on the short-termour ability to attract and long-term profitability of the Company; therefore, the design of the executive officer compensation package is very important.retain highly qualified and motivated executives. In order to retain key employees, the Company has anaccomplish this objective, we have endeavored to structure our executive compensation packagein a fashion that is based on increase in shareholder value, the overalltakes into account our operating performance of the Company, and the individual performance of the executive.

        The measuresCompensation Committee endorses the philosophy that executive compensation should reflect Company performance and the contribution of executive officers to that performance. The Company's compensation policy is designed to achieve three fundamental objectives: (i) attract and retain qualified executives, (ii) motivate performance to achieve Company objectives, and (iii) align the interests of our executives with the long-term interests of the Company's stockholders.

        The Committee recognizes that there are many intangibles involved in evaluating performance consideredand in motivating performance, and that determining an appropriate compensation level is a highly subjective endeavor. The analysis of the Committee is not based upon a structured formula and the objectives referred to above are not weighted in any formal manner.

        Pursuant to our compensation philosophy, the total annual compensation of our executive officers is primarily made up of one or more of three elements. The three elements are salary, annual performance-based incentive compensation and grants of stock based awards such as restricted stock.

        We believe a competitive base salary is important to attract, retain and motivate top executives. We believe annual performance-based incentive compensation is valuable in recognizing and rewarding individual achievement. Finally, we believe equity-based compensation makes executives "think like owners" and, therefore, aligns their interests with those of our stockholders.

        Effective November 1, 2006, we adopted formal Stock Ownership Guidelines for our executive officers and note that our executive officers are significant stockholders of the Company, as disclosed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement. The purpose of these Guidelines is to align the interests of executives with the interests of shareholders and further promote our longstanding commitment to sound corporate governance.

        The Committee is mindful of the stock ownership of our directors and executive officers but does not believe that it is appropriate to provide a mechanism or formula to take stock ownership (or gains from prior option or stock awards) into account when setting compensation levels. As do many public companies, we have historically provided in our insider trading policies that directors and executive officers may not sell Company securities short and may not sell puts, calls or other derivative securities tied to our Common Stock.

        We expect that the salary and other compensation paid to our executive officers will qualify for income tax deductibility under the limits of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code However, it is possible that the Committee may authorize compensation which may not, in a specific case, be fully deductible by the Company.

        The Company does not have a formal policy relative to the adjustment or recovery of incentives or awards in the event that the performance measures upon which incentives or awards were based are later restated or otherwise adjusted in a manner that would have reduced the size of an incentive or award. However, as all incentives and awards remain within the discretion of the Compensation Committee, the Committee retains the ability to take any such restatements or adjustments into account in subsequent years.

Salary

        The salary of each executive officer is determined by the Compensation Committee. In making its determinations, the Committee in determining 2005 executive officer compensation were primarily revenue growth, pretax profit plan achievement,gives consideration to our operating performance for the prior fiscal



year and pretax profit improvement over the past year.

        Pursuantindividual executive's performance. The Committee solicits input from our Chief Executive Officer with respect to the above compensation philosophy, the three main components of the executive compensation package are base salary, an incentive cash plan and stock-based incentive plans.

        The factors subjectively used in determining base salary include the recent profit performance of our executive officers and their compensation levels. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company,following adjustments were made to the magnitude of responsibilities, the scope of the position, individual performance and the pay received by peers in similar positions in the same geographic area. These factors are not used in any specific formula or weighting. Thebase salaries of theour executive officers are reviewed annually. Three executive officers received raises in 2005 that were based on company performance as well as their individual performancesofficers: Gary W. Rollins $1,000,000 (no change from 2007); R. Randall Rollins: $900,000 (no change from 2007); Glen Rollins $680,000 ($80,000 increase from 2007); Harry J. Cynkus $450,000 ($50,000 increase from 2007); and overall departmental improvements.Michael W. Knottek $415,000 ($30,000 increase from 2007).

Performance-Based Plan

        At the Annual Meetingannual meeting of stockholders held on April 22, 2003, the stockholders approved the terms of the Company's Performance-Based Incentive Cash Compensation Plan for Executive Officers (the "Cash"2003 Cash Incentive Plan"). Under the 2003 Cash Incentive Plan, executive officers have an opportunity to earn bonuses of up to 80% of their base salaries, not to exceed a maximum dollar amount of $2,000,000 per individual per year, upon achievement of bonus performance goals, which are preset every year by the Compensation Committee upon its approval of the performance bonus program for that year. The 2003 Cash Incentive Plan expires on April 22, 2008. The Board has submitted for approval of the stockholders at the Annual Meeting a new Performance-Based Incentive Cash Compensation Plan for Executive Officers (the "2008 Cash Incentive Plan") which is more fully described below under "Approval of Performance-Based Incentive Cash Compensation Plan for Executive Officers."

For 20052007, these performance goals were measured by attainment of specific levels of the following: Rollins, Inc. revenue growth, pretax profit plan achievement, and pretax profit improvement over the prior year. The Compensation Committee set a maximum award for fiscal year 2007 of 80% of the executive's base salaries for Messrs. R. Randall Rollins, Gary W. Rollins and Glen Rollins and 60% of the executive's base salary for fiscal year 2007 for Messrs. Harry J. Cynkus and Michael W. Knottek. Subject to stockholders approval of the 2008 Cash Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee approved bonus awards and performance goals for 2005 were pre-established2008 under that plan. For 2008 these performance goals will be measured by attainment of specific levels of the following: revenue growth, pretax profit plan achievement, and pretax profit improvement over the prior year. The Compensation Committee has set maximum awards for fiscal year 2008 of 100% of base salaries for Messrs. R. Randall Rollins and ratified byGary W. Rollins, and 80% of base salary for Mr. Glen Rollins. Messrs. Harry J. Cynkus and Michael W. Knottek have a maximum award potential of 60% of their base salaries for fiscal year 2008. Under the Board2003 and 2008 Cash Incentive Plans the Company must achieve 95 percent and 90 percent, respectively, of Directorsplanned income for allthe executive officers.officers to be eligible for bonuses under those plans. These cash compensation performance goals of the 2003 and 2008 Cash Incentive Plans are difficult to achieve, but achievable. The Committee believes that the 2003 and 2008 Cash Incentive PlanPlans and the performance bonus programs thereunder provide performance incentives that are and will be beneficial to Rollins, Inc.the Company and its stockholders. This

        Messrs. Harry J. Cynkus and Michael W. Knottek also participate in the Company's Home Office Bonus Plan. Under this Plan, the participants may receive a bonus of up to five percent in 2007 (and ten percent in 2008) of the participant's annual salary for achievement of the participant's expense plan will be in place until April 22, 2008. Alland an additional five percent (for both 2007 and 2008) of theannual salary for achievement of internal customer service survey results.



Executive Officers participating in        Cash payments under the Cash Incentive Plan and the Home Office Plan are paid the following year. Payments made under the 2003 Cash Incentive Plan and the Home Office Plan in 2008 to the executive officers are as follows: Gary W. Rollins $394,063; Harry J. Cynkus $144,213; R. Randall Rollins $354,657; Glen Rollins $236,438 and Michael W. Knottek $128,795.


        In addition to any bonuses earned under the Cash Incentive Plan or Home Office Plan, the Compensation Committee has the authority to award discretionary bonuses if the Committee finds that circumstances warrant that act.

Equity Based Awards

        Our Stock Incentive Plan allows for a bonuswide variety of stock based awards such as stock options and restricted stock awards. We last issued stock options in fiscal year ended 2003 and have no immediate plans to issue additional stock options. Partially in response to changes relative to the manner in which stock options are accounted for 2005 as a resultunder generally accepted accounting principles, we have modified the structure and composition of achievementthe long-term equity based component of pre-established performance goals.our executive compensation. In recent years, we have awarded time-lapse restricted stock in lieu of granting stock options. The terms and conditions of these awards are described in more detail below.

        Awards under the Company's stock incentive plansStock Incentive Plan are purely discretionary, and are not based upon any specific formula and may or may not be granted in any given fiscal year. For the past three years, we have granted time-lapse restricted stock to various employees, including our executive officers, in early January during our regularly scheduled meeting of the Compensation Committee during which the Committee reviews executive compensation. Consistent with this practice, we granted restricted stock awards to our executive officers in January 2006, 2007 and 2008 as follows:

Name

 2006
 2007
 2008
Gary W. Rollins 37,500 37,500 
R. Randall Rollins 22,500 30,000 
Glen Rollins 18,000 22,500 30,000
Harry J. Cynkus 15,000 15,000 20,000
Michael W. Knottek 15,000 15,000 20,000

        It is our expectation to continue yearly grants of restricted stock awards to selected executives although we reserve the right to modify or discontinue this or any of our other compensation practices at anytime.

        To date, all of our restricted stock awards have had the same features. The shares vest one-fifth per year beginning on the second anniversary of the grant date. Restricted shares have full voting and dividend rights. However, until the shares vest, they cannot be sold, transferred or pledged. Should the executive leave our employment for any reason prior to the vesting dates (other than due to death or retirement on or after age 65), the unvested shares will be forfeited. In the event of a "change in control" of the Company, the Compensation Committee has the discretion to accelerate vesting of the shares.

        Grants are made under our Stock Incentive Plan and the plan is administered pursuant to Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. When considering the grant of stock options and other equity compensation (such as restricted stock),based awards, the Compensation Committee gives consideration to theour overall performance of the Company and the performance of individual employees. Grants

Employment Agreements

        There are no agreements or understandings between the Company and any executive officer which guarantee continued employment or guarantee any level of compensation, including incentive or bonus payments, to the executive officer.


Retirement Plans

        The Company maintains a defined benefit plan (Rollins, Inc. Retirement Income Plan) for employees hired prior to January 1, 2002, a non-qualified retirement plan (Rollins, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan) for our executives, and a 401(k) savings plan (Rollins 401(k) Plan) for the benefit of all of our eligible employees.

        The Company froze the Rollins, Inc. Retirement Income Plan effective June 30, 2005. Due to the freeze of the Rollins, Inc. Retirement Income Plan, for certain of our older and more tenured employees who are participants in the Rollins, Inc. Retirement Income Plan, the Company makes additional company contributions ("Pension Restoration Contributions") into either the 401(k) Plan (for non-highly compensated employees) or into the Rollins, Inc. Deferred Compensated Plan (for highly compensated employees). This contribution will be made for five years. The first contribution was made in January 2007 for those participants who were employed for all of the 2006 plan year. Only employees with five full years of vested service on June 2005 qualify for the Pension Restoration Contributions. Messrs. Randall Rollins, Gary Rollins, Glen Rollins, Michael Knottek and Harry Cynkus are expected to receive Pension Restoration Contributions of 3%, 3%, 1.5%, 3%, and 3% of their annual salary (up to a maximum 2007 annual salary of $225,000), respectively, annually under the Rollins, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan. The Rollins, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan also provides other benefits as described below under "Nonqualified Deferred Compensation").

The Company provides certain perquisites to its executive officers which are described below under "Executive Compensation." The Company requires that its Chairman and its President and CEO use Company or other private aircraft for air travel whenever practicable for security reasons.

        The Deferred Compensation Plan provides that participants may defer up to 50% of their base salary and up to 100% of their annual bonus with respect to any given plan year, subject to a $2,000 per plan year minimum. The annual bonus deferral percentage was amended to allow participants the ability to defer up to 85%, beginning with bonuses earned in 2007 and paid in 2008. The Company may make discretionary creditscontributions to participant accounts. The Company currently plans to credit accounts of participants of long service to the Company with certain discretionary amounts ("Pension Plan Benefit Restoration Credits"Contributions") in lieu of benefits that previously accrued under the Company's Retirement Income Plan. The Company ceased all future benefit accruals under the Retirement Income Plan effective June 30, 2005. The Company intends to make Pension Plan Benefit Restoration CreditsContributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan for five years, with theyears. The first such credit beingcontribution was made in January 2007 for those participants who arewere employed for all of the 2006 plan year. Only employees with five full years of vested service on June 30, 2005 qualify for Pension Plan Benefit Restoration Credits. The Company intends to make comparable payments on behalf of certain employees (i.e., certain employees who do not participate in the plan) under the Company's 401(k) Plan. Messrs.Contributions. Randall Rollins, Gary Rollins, Glen Rollins, Michael Knottek and Harry Cynkus each a Named Executive Officer, are expected to receive Pension Plan Benefit Restoration CreditsContributions of 3.0%, 3.0%, 1.5%, 3.0% and 3.0% of their annual salary (up to a maximum annual salary of $210,000)$220,000), respectively, equal to the percentage of their annual contribution.respectively.

        The accounts are unfunded.        Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, salary and bonus deferrals and Pension Plan Benefit Restoration CreditsContributions are generally 100% vested, but anyfully vested. Any discretionary credits other than Pension Plan Benefit Restoration Credits would becontributions are subject to vesting in accordance with the matching contribution vesting schedule set forth in the Company 401(k) planPlan in which a Participantparticipant participates. If a participant participates in more than one Company 401(k) plan, such discretionary



credits would vest in accordance with the 401(k) plan's vesting schedule that would provide the participant with the greatest vested percentage.

        Accounts will be credited with hypothetical earnings, and/or debited with hypothetical losses, based on the performance of certain "Measurement Funds." Account values are calculated as if the funds from deferrals and Company credits had been converted into shares or other ownership units of



selected Measurement Funds by purchasing (or selling, where relevant) such shares or units at the current purchase price of the relevant Measurement Fund at the time of the participant's selection. Deferred Compensation Plan benefits are unsecured general obligations of the Company to the participants, and these obligations rank in parity with the Company's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Company has established a "rabbi trust," which it intends to useuses to voluntarily set aside amounts to indirectly fund any obligations under the Deferred Compensation Plan. To the extent that the Company's obligations under the Deferred Compensation Plan exceed assets available under the trust, the Company would be required to seek additional funding sources to fund its liability under the Deferred Compensation Plan.

        Generally, the Deferred Compensation Plan provides for distributions of any deferred amounts upon the earliest to occur of a participant's death, disability, retirement or other termination of employment (a "Termination Event"). However, for any deferrals of salary and bonus (but not Company contributions), participants would be entitled to designate a distribution date which is prior to a Termination Event. Generally, the Deferred Compensation Plan allows a participant to elect to receive distributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan in installments or lump-sum payments.


401(k) Plan

        Effective October 1, 1983, the Company adopted a qualified retirement plan designed to meet the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code ("401(k) Plan"). The only formforms of benefit payment under the 401(k) Plan isare dependent upon the account balance. If the assets are greater than $1,000, a single lump-sum paymentparticipant may leave their funds in the Plan, take a full or partial lump sum distribution, take systematic distributions or roll their vested assets into another qualified plan. If the account balance is equal to or less than $1,000, the participant may roll their vested balance in the participant's account on the date the distribution is processed.into another qualified plan or take a lump sum distribution. Under the 401(k) Plan, the full amount of a participant's vested benefit is payable upon his termination of employment, retirement, total and permanent disability, or death. While employed, a participant may withdraw a certain amount of his pre-tax and rollover contributions upon specified instances of financial hardship, and may withdraw all or any portion of his pre-tax and rollover account after attaining the age of 591/2. A participant may withdraw all or part of their vested account balance upon reaching age 701/2. A participant may withdraw all or any portion of his after-tax account at any time and for any reason. Amounts contributed by the Company to the accounts of Named Executives under this plan are included in the "All Other Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table above.

Pre-approval

The Committee has no pre-approval policies or procedures other than as set forth below.

The Audit Committee is responsible for pre-approving all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent public accountants and ensuring that they are not engaged to perform the specific non-audit services proscribed by law or regulation. The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its Chairman with the stipulation that his decision is to be presented to the full Committee at its next scheduled meeting.




SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCEAPPROVAL OF PERFORMANCE-BASED INCENTIVE
CASH COMPENSATION PLAN FOR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

        The Internal Revenue Code prohibits the Company from taking an income tax deduction for remuneration paid during any fiscal year to its chief executive officer, chief financial officer and its three other most highly-compensated executive officers to the extent that the remuneration of any such person exceeds $1 million during such fiscal year, excluding remuneration that qualifies as "performance-based compensation." Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that in order for remuneration to be treated as qualified performance-based compensation, among other requirements, the material terms of the performance goals must be disclosed to and approved by the stockholders of the employer.

        At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders will be asked to approve the terms relating to incentive compensation to be paid to the Company's executive officers pursuant to the 2008 Cash Incentive Plan. Executive officers will be eligible to participate in the 2008 Cash Incentive Plan. Executive officers of the Company (of which there are currently five) will be entitled to receive bonuses up to 100% of their base salaries, or a maximum dollar amount of $2,000,000 per individual per year, upon achievement of bonus performance goals, which shall be Rollins, Inc.'s achievement of pre-established performance goals in one or more of the following three targeted financial measures: revenue growth, pretax profit plan achievement, and pretax profit improvement over the prior year. The bonus performance goals for 2008 have been pre-established by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors for all executive officers. For 2008 these performance goals will be measured by obtaining specific levels of the following: revenue growth, pre-tax profit plan achievement, and pre-tax profit improvement over the prior year. The Compensation Committee has completedset a reviewmaximum award of Forms 3, 4100% of base salaries for fiscal year 2008 for Messrs. R. Randall Rollins and 5Gary W. Rollins, and amendments thereto furnisheda maximum award of 80% of base salary for Mr. Glen Rollins. Messrs. Harry J. Cynkus and Michael W. Knottek have a maximum award potential of 60% of their base salaries for 2008. No bonuses will be payable under the 2008 Cash Incentive Plan if the Plan is not approved by stockholders at the Annual Meeting. For future years, goals will be set annually within 90 days after the commencement of the performance period to which such goals relate. The Company believes that the incentive-related provisions provide performance incentives that are and will be beneficial to the Company and its stockholders. This plan is intended to be in place until April 22, 2013.

        Since the amounts payable under the Plan for the year ending December 31, 2008 are dependent on Rollins, Inc.'s future financial performance, the amounts are not currently determinable. However, the following table sets forth information regarding the theoretical maximum amounts that could be earned under the 2008 Cash Incentive Plan by all directors, officers and greater than 10 percent stockholders subject to the provisions of Section 16each of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, the Company has a written representation from all directors, officers and greater than 10 percent stockholders from whom no Form 5 was received, indicating that no Form 5 filing was required. Based solely on this review, the Company believes that all filing requirements of such persons under Section 16following executives for the fiscal year endedending December 31, 20052008.

If the 2008 Plan is approved, all future equity compensation awards by the Company will be made under the 2008 Plan. Under the 2008 Plan, the Company can tailor incentive awards to support its corporate objectives and to keep pace with competitive business practices. Generally, the 2008 Plan is intended to strengthen the mutuality of interests between award recipients and the Company's stockholders.

        The Board of Directors adopted the 2008 Plan on January 22, 2008, effective upon and subject to approval by the Company's stockholders. The 2008 Plan provides for the delivery of up to 5.0 million shares of the Company's Common Stock ("Shares").

Summary Description of the 2008 Plan

The following summarizes the major provisions of the 2008 Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the text of the 2008 Plan, which is attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

        Generally, the 2008 Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee (or, if so designated by the Board of Directors, the full Board of Directors or some other committee of non-employee directors) to grant to directors, officers and other key employees ("Participants") stock options and other equity compensation more fully described below. The Compensation Committee may delegate its powers and duties under the 2008 Plan subject to the limitations set forth in the 2008 Plan.

        Eligibility.    Directors, officers and other key employees of the Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates who are responsible for or contribute to the growth and/or profitability of the business of the Company are eligible to be granted awards under the 2008 Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing,



incentive stock options (as defined in the 2008 Plan) may only be granted to employees of the Company and any of its subsidiaries or affiliates that are a "subsidiary corporation" (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")) and stock options and stock appreciation rights may be granted only to individuals with respect to whom the Shares will qualify as "service recipient stock" (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code). Furthermore, no director who is not also an employee of the Company is eligible to receive incentive stock options.

        Awards That May Be Issued Under the 2008 Plan.    The 2008 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), and any other type of award valued by reference to (or otherwise based on) Shares, including, without limitation, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance accelerated restricted stock, performance stock and performance units. If the Shares covered by an award are not delivered because the award is forfeited or canceled, or because the award is settled in cash or because such shares are withheld from the award or otherwise tendered, physically or by attestation, to pay the exercise or purchase price of an award granted under the 2008 Plan or to satisfy applicable tax withholding obligations incurred in connection with the award, such Shares will not be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the number of Shares remaining available for delivery. The maximum number of Shares available for delivery under the 2008 Plan will be unaffected by the availability of Shares under any plan assumed in connection with the acquisition of an interest in another company or awards granted upon assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by a company or other entity acquired directly or indirectly by the Company or with which the Company combines.

        The Compensation Committee has full authority to grant, pursuant to the terms of the 2008 Plan (i) stock options, including, without limitation, incentive stock options ("ISO"), non-qualified options ("NQOs") and premium stock options, (ii) SARs and/or (iii) other stock-based awards, including, without limitation, restricted stock, restricted stock units (stock units are grants of a right to receive shares of stock in the future), performance-accelerated restricted stock, performance stock and performance units (as such terms are defined in the 2008 Plan).

        Additional Plan Limitations.    The 2008 Plan imposes additional limitations. Under the 2008 Plan, no more than 5.0 million Shares may be issued pursuant to ISOs. In addition, no one individual may be granted options, SARs or other stock-based awards representing over 100,000 Shares during any fiscal year. There is no maximum number of persons eligible to receive awards under the 2008 Plan. The Company estimates that approximately 175 persons are currently eligible.

        Plan Administration.    The 2008 Plan may be administered by the Board of Directors, or any committee (the "Committee") of at least two "non-employee directors" (as that term is defined by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act) who are also "outside directors" as defined by regulations promulgated under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Company expects the 2008 Plan to be administered by the Compensation Committee which will have the authority to select participants and determine the timing, type, size and terms of each award, and to make all other determinations necessary or desirable in the interpretation and administration of the 2008 Plan. The Committee may also determine whether awards may be settled in cash.

        Repricing and Amendment of Awards.    If the exercise or base prices of any options or SARs exceed the current fair market value (as defined in the 2008 Plan) of the Shares, the Committee may, without stockholder approval, reprice such options or SARs to a price no lower than the then-current fair market value of the Shares. The Committee may also, without stockholder approval, amend any award to provide its holder with additional rights or benefits of the type otherwise permitted by the 2008 Plan, including extending its term. However, no amendment to the terms of any outstanding award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code may cause the award to violate such Section, no amendment to the terms of an outstanding award that is not subject to Section 409A of the Code may cause the



award to become subject to such Section, and the term of an outstanding award may not be extended beyond the earlier of the latest date the award would have expired by its original terms or the tenth anniversary of the original grant date of the award, except to the extent that an award cannot be exercised because such exercise would violate the federal, state or local laws, then the expiration of such award shall automatically be tolled for the period in which such exercise would violate applicable law but not more than thirty (30) days.

        Termination of the Plan.    The 2008 Plan will terminate ten years from the date of stockholder approval.

        Transferability.    Except as may be provided by the Committee, awards will not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

        Termination of Employment.    Generally, options and SARs are forfeited if the recipient's employment or performance of services terminates before the award is exercised. However, the Committee may provide otherwise, and there are limited exceptions where employment terminates because of death, disability or retirement. Generally, if an option or SAR holder's employment terminates due to:

        The Committee has discretion to alter the extension periods. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, all unvested other stock-based awards, including without limitation restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance-accelerated restricted stock, are forfeited upon termination of the Participant's employment for any reason other than death or disability. In the event of death for disability, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, a pro rata portion of the restrictions pertaining to continued employment will lapse based on the number of full months the Participant was employed during the restriction period divided by the total number of months in the restriction period.

        Option Pricing.    The Committee has the authority to fix the exercise price of option awards. Generally, the exercise price of an ISO must be at least 100 percent of the fair market value of the Shares at the time of grant. However, if the grantee is a person with over ten percent of the voting power of the Company (or any subsidiary or parent of the Company), then the exercise price must be at least 110 percent of such fair market value. The exercise price of NQOs must be at least 100 percent of such fair market value. On February 29, 2008, the closing price of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange was $17.65 per share.

        Option Term.    The term of each stock option will be fixed by the Committee, but no stock option shall be exercised more than ten years (or, in the case of an ISO granted to an employee who owns stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its subsidiary or parent corporations, more than five years) after the date the option is granted. Options will become exercisable at such times and in such installments as the Committee shall determine. Payment of the option price must be made in full at the time of exercise in such form (including, but not limited to, cash, unrestricted common stock held for at least six months, or any combination thereof) as the Committee may determine.

        Certain ISO Restrictions.    In order to comply with certain federal tax restrictions, no employee may be granted an incentive stock option if, taking into account such option, the aggregate fair market value of the stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by such



employee during any given calendar year, under this and all other incentive stock option plans of the Company, would exceed $100,000.

        Cashless Exercises.    If permitted by the Committee, a Participant may elect to pay the exercise price upon the exercise of an option by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell shares of stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the option and remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire exercise price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise.

        SARs.    Upon the exercise of a SAR, the holder shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash and/or Shares equal in value to the excess of the fair market value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the fair market value of the Shares on the date of grant, multiplied by the number of SARs exercised, with the Committee having the rights to determine the form of payment.

        Restricted Stock Awards.    A restricted stock award is an award of a given number of shares of common stock which are subject to a restriction against transfer and to a risk of forfeiture during a period set by the Committee. During the restriction period, the Participant generally has the right to vote and receive dividends on the shares.

        Performance-Based Compensation.    The Committee may determine whether an award is "performance-based compensation" as defined by Section 162(m) of the Code. Any awards designated as "performance-based compensation" must be conditioned on achievement of one or more performance measures, as selected by the Committee: increase in stock price, return on capital or increase in pretax earnings of the Company and/or one or more divisions and/or subsidiaries, return on stockholders' equity of the Company, increase in earnings per share of the Company, sales of the Company and/or one or more divisions and/or subsidiaries, pretax earnings of the Company and/or one or more divisions and/or subsidiaries, net earnings of the Company and/or one or more divisions and/or subsidiaries, control of operating and/or non-operating expenses of the Company and/or one or more divisions and/or subsidiaries, margins of the Company and/or one or more divisions and/or subsidiaries, cash flow of the Company and/or one or more divisions and/or subsidiaries, market price of the Company's securities and, solely for an award not intended to constitute "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code, other factors directly tied to the performance of the Company and/or one or more divisions and/or subsidiaries or other performance criteria. Any award so designated must also meet any additional requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

        Amendment and Termination.    The 2008 Plan is subject to amendment or termination by the Board of Directors without stockholder approval but no amendment may without stockholder approval (i) increase the number of Shares that may be issued under the 2008 Plan (except by certain adjustments provided for under the 2008 Plan); (ii) change the class of persons eligible to receive ISOs under the 2008 Plan; (iii) change the requirements regarding the exercise price; or (iv) amend the 2008 Plan in a manner that would require approval of the Company's stockholders under applicable law, regulation or rule. Options may not be granted under the 2008 Plan after the date of termination of the 2008 Plan, but options granted prior to that date shall continue to be exercisable according to their terms.

        Changes in Capital Structure.    If the Company effects a subdivision or consolidation of Shares or other capital readjustment, the payment of a stock dividend, or other increase or reduction of the number of shares of the Company stock outstanding, without receiving compensation therefor in money, services or property, then the terms and conditions of the 2008 Plan and any then outstanding awards shall be adjusted proportionally in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of benefits or potential benefits under the 2008 Plan and awards made under the 2008 Plan.


        Merger and Consolidation.    In the event the Company is a party to a merger or other reorganization, outstanding awards shall be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization. That agreement may provide, without limitation, for the assumption of outstanding awards by the surviving corporation or its parent, for their continuation by the Company (if the Company is a surviving corporation), for their cancellation, for accelerated vesting and accelerated expiration, or for settlement in cash.

New Plan Benefits

        As of the date of this proxy statement, no awards had been granted under the 2008 Plan and none will be granted unless and until the 2008 Plan is approved by the Company's stockholders. Because of the discretionary nature of any future awards under the 2008 Plan, the amount of such awards is not determinable at this time with respect to the Company's directors, executive officers, including the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table, and the Company's other employees. Information regarding options and restricted stock granted in 2007 to certain executive officers of the Company under the Company's 1998 Plan is set forth in the table captioned "Grants of Plan-Based Awards," and information regarding outstanding options and restricted stock under the Company's stock plans is set forth in the table captioned "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End." In 2007, grants of restricted stock covering 233,250 Shares were made to the non-executive employee group under the 1998 Plan. Except as referred to in the preceding sentence, there were no other grants in 2007 under Company plans. Non-employee directors have never been granted any options or other stock-based awards by the Company for service as a director.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

        The following discussion addresses certain anticipated United States federal income tax and certain employment tax consequences to the Company and to recipients of awards made under the 2008 Plan who are citizens or residents of the United States for federal income tax purposes. It is based on the Code and interpretations thereof as in effect on the date of this proxy statement. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and, among other things, does not describe state, local, or foreign tax consequences. Moreover, it is not intended as tax advice to any individual.

        IRS Circular 230 Notice.    To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Service, you are hereby notified that any discussion of tax matters set forth in this prospectus was written in connection with the promotion or marketing (within the meaning of IRS Circular 230) of awards made under the 2008 Plan, and was not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by any taxpayer for the purpose of avoiding any tax-related penalties under federal law. Each recipient of an award under the 2008 Plan should seek advice based on his or her particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

        Summary of Current Federal Income Tax Rates for Individuals.    Ordinary income of individuals, such as compensation income, is currently taxed at a top marginal rate of 35%. In addition, the maximum long-term capital gains rate for individuals is currently 15%. The maximum federal income tax rate for qualifying dividends received by individuals is currently 15%.

        Grant of Options.    There will be no federal income tax consequences to the grantee of an option or the Company upon the grant of either an ISO or an NQO under the 2008 Plan.

        Exercise of NQOs.    Upon the exercise of an NQO, the grantee generally will recognize ordinary compensation income, subject to withholding and employment taxes, in an amount equal to: (a) the fair market value, on the date of exercise, of the acquired shares of common stock, less (b) the exercise



price paid for those shares. The Company will be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the compensation income recognized by the grantee. Gains or losses recognized by the grantee upon a subsequent disposition of the shares will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the shares are held for more than a year from the date of exercise. Such gains or losses will be short-term gains or losses if the shares are held for one year or less. For purposes of computing gain or loss, the grantee's basis in the shares received will be the exercise price paid for the shares plus the amount of income, if any, recognized upon exercise of the option.

        Exercise of ISOs.    Upon the exercise of an ISO, the grantee will recognize no immediate taxable income for regular income tax purposes, provided the grantee was continuously employed by the Company or a subsidiary from the date of grant through the date which is three months prior to the date of exercise (or through the date which is one year prior to the exercise date in the case of termination of employment as a result of total disability).

        The exercise of an ISO will, however, result in an item of adjustment for alternative minimum tax purposes in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares at exercise over the exercise price. That adjustment may result in alternative minimum tax liability to the grantee upon the exercise of the ISO. Subject to certain limitations, alternative minimum tax paid in one year may be carried forward and credited against regular federal income tax liability for subsequent years. If the grantee retains the shares acquired upon the exercise of the ISO for more than two years from the date of grant and more than one year from the date of exercise, any gain on a later sale of the shares will be treated as long-term capital gain, and the Company will not be entitled to any tax deduction with respect to the ISO.

        If the grantee disposes of the shares of common stock received upon the exercise of an ISO before the expiration of the two-year and one-year holding periods discussed above, a "Disqualifying Disposition" occurs. In that event, the grantee will have ordinary compensation income, and the Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction at the time of such disposition. The amount of ordinary income and deduction generally will be equal to the lesser of: (a) the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date of exercise minus the exercise price; or (b) the amount realized upon disposition of the common stock minus the exercise price. If the amount realized on disposition exceeds the value of the shares on the date of exercise, that additional amount will be taxable as capital gain. To be entitled to a deduction as a result of a Disqualifying Disposition, the Company must satisfy applicable reporting requirements.

        Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.    A recipient of restricted stock or restricted stock units generally does not recognize income and the Company generally is not entitled to a deduction at the time of grant. Instead, the recipient recognizes compensation income and the Company is entitled to a deduction on the date on which vesting occurs ("Vesting Date") in the case of restricted stock, or on the date on which stock is issued or cash is paid in the case of restricted stock units. The amount of income recognized and the amount of the Company's deduction will equal the fair market value of the vested stock or stock unit on the Vesting Date in the case of restricted stock, or on the date on which stock is issued or cash is paid in the case of restricted stock units. However, the recipient may elect to include in income the fair market value of restricted stock at the time of grant by making a timely satisfied.election under Section 83(b) of the Code. If such Section 83(b) election is made, the Company's deduction will equal the fair market value of the restricted stock at the time of grant.

        Any dividends on restricted stock, or dividend equivalents with respect to restricted stock units, paid to the recipient prior to the Vesting Date will be includible in the recipient's income as compensation and deductible as such by the Company.

        Section 162(m) Limitation.    In general, Section 162(m) of the Code limits to $1 million the federal income tax deductions that may be claimed in any tax year of the Company with respect to certain



compensation payable to any employee who is the chief executive officer, chief financial officer or one of the other three highest paid executive officers of the Company on the last day of that tax year. This limit does not apply to "performance-based compensation" paid under a plan that meets the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company believes that the options to be granted under the 2008 Plan will qualify for the performance-based compensation exception to the Section 162(m) limitations under current law because options will be issued only if stockholder approval is obtained, and any taxable compensation will be based solely on an increase in value of the stock after the date of the option since option exercise prices will be no less than fair market value on the date of grant. Compensation from restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards generally will be performance-based only if the vesting conditions as established by the Committee are based upon performance goals.

        Golden Parachute Tax and Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.    The Committee may provide for immediate vesting of all then outstanding unvested awards upon a change in control of the Company. That immediate vesting may cause certain amounts to be characterized as "parachute payments" under Section 280G of the Code for certain employees of the Company. Section 280G of the Code generally applies to employees or other individuals who perform services for the Company if, within the 12-month period preceding the change in control, the individual is an officer of the Company, a shareholder owning more than 1% of the stock of the Company, or a member of the group consisting of the lesser of the highest paid 1% of the employees of the Company or the highest paid 250 employees of the Company. An employee generally is deemed to have received a parachute payment in the amount of compensation that is contingent upon an ownership change if such compensation exceeds, in the aggregate, three times the employee's Base Amount. The "Base Amount" is generally the employee's average annual compensation for the five preceding years. An employee's "excess parachute payment" is the excess of the employee's total parachute payments over the Base Amount. An employee will be subject to a 20% excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, and the Company will be denied a deduction for, any "excess parachute payment."

        Deferred Compensation.    Awards made under the 2008 Plan, including awards granted under the 2008 Plan that are considered to be deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, must satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A to avoid adverse tax consequences to recipients, which could include the inclusion of amounts not payable currently in income and interest and an additional tax on any amount included in income. The Company intends to structure any awards under the 2008 Plan such that the requirements under Code Section 409A are either satisfied or are not applicable to such awards.

        The discussion set forth above is intended only as a summary and does not purport to be a complete enumeration or analysis of all potential tax effects relevant to recipients of awards under the 2007 Plan.

Certain Interests of Directors

        In considering the recommendations of the Board of Directors with respect to the 2008 Plan, stockholders should be aware that members of the Board of Directors have certain interests that may present them with conflicts of interest in connection with the proposal to approve the 2008 Plan. As discussed above, directors and employees of the Company are eligible for the grant of awards under the 2008 Plan. The Board of Directors believes that approval of the 2008 Plan will advance the interests of the Company and its stockholders by encouraging employees to make significant contributions to the long-term success of the Company.


Required Vote

        The affirmative vote of a majority of votes is required to approve this proposal. For purposes of qualifying the shares authorized under the proposed plan for listing on the NYSE, the total votes cast on the proposal must represent over 50% of shares outstanding. Broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast for this purpose.

The Board of Directors Recommends a Vote for the Proposal to Approve the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan.


STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

        Appropriate proposals of stockholders intended to be presented at the Company's 20072009 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders must be received by the Company by December 1, 2006,November 20, 2008 in order to be included, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in the proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting.

With regard to such stockholder proposals, if the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders is advanced or delayed more than 30 calendar days from April 25, 2007,22, 2009, the Company will, in a timely manner, inform its stockholders of the change and of the date by which such proposals must be received.

        With respect to stockholder nomination of directors, the Company's by-laws provide that nominations for the election of directors may be made by any stockholder entitled to vote for the election of directors. Nominations must comply with an advance notice procedure which generally requires with respect to nominations for directors for election at an annual meeting, that written notice be addressed to: Secretary, Rollins, Inc., 2170 Piedmont Road, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30324, not less than ninety days prior to the anniversary of the prior year's annual meeting and set forth the name, age, business address and, if known, residence address of the nominee proposed in the notice, the principal occupation or employment of the nominee for the past five years, the nominee's qualifications, the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Company which are owned beneficially or of record by the person and any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings. Other specific requirements related to such notice, including required disclosures concerning the stockholder intending to present the nomination, are set forth in the Company's bylaws. Notices of nominations must be received by the Secretary of the Company no later than January 25, 200724, 2009 and no earlier than December 16, 2006,15, 2008, with respect to directors to be elected at the 20072008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
