CASE ALLEGATIONS: Rentokil provides pest control, hygiene, and wellness services worldwide. According to the Rentokil class action lawsuit, Rentokil announced on October 12, 2022 that it had completed its acquisition of Memphis, Tennessee-based Terminix Global Holdings, Inc. in a transaction valued at $6.7 billion, including $1.34 billion in cash and over 129 million new Rentokil American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”).

The Rentokil class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Rentokil experienced levels of disruption in the early pilots of the Terminix integration; (ii) Rentokil experienced significant, ongoing, self-inflicted execution challenges integrating Terminix; (iii) the disruption and execution challenges imperiled Rentokil’s integration plan for Terminix; (iv) Rentokil and Terminix were still two separate businesses that were not yet integrated; and (v) Rentokil’s failure to integrate Terminix negatively impacted Rentokil’s business and operations, particularly organic revenue growth in North America.

The Rentokil class action lawsuit further alleges that on April 18, 2024, Rentokil reported that organic revenue growth in North America had increased by only 1.5% year-over-year – below Rentokil’s guidance of 2% for the first quarter and 2% to 4% for the full year, issued just six weeks earlier on March 7, 2024. On this news, the price of Rentokil ADSs fell more than 9%, according to the complaint.

Then, on September 11, 2024, the Rentokil class action lawsuit further alleges that Rentokil provided an unscheduled “Trading Update,” announcing that Rentokil now expected only 1% organic revenue growth in North America for the second half of 2024 – well below Rentokil’s prior guidance. On this news, the price of Rentokil ADSs fell more than 21%, according to the complaint.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased Rentokil ADSs during the class period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Rentokil class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Rentokil class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Rentokil class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Rentokil class action lawsuit.
