* In 2018, the Company used a
termination liability approach in calculating the 2018 discount rate for the Rollins, Inc. Pension plan. The following assumptions
were used 1) 3.90%, based on current market conditions, for participants in pay status expected to elect a plan termination annuity;
2) 4.11%, based on current market conditions, for active and terminated participants with deferred benefits expected to elect a
plan termination annuity; 3) The IRC 417(e) interest rates for the month of November 2018 (3.43%, 4.46%, and 4.88), based on plan
provisions, for all lump sum eligible expected to elect a plan termination lump sum. The Waltham Services, LLC Hourly Employee
Pension Plan applied 4.05% discount rate based on yield curve analysis.
