Registration
Statement on Form S-8
|
Ladies/Gentlemen:
This
opinion is rendered in connection with the proposed issue and sale
by Rollins, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Rollins”),
of up to 6,000,000 shares of Rollins common stock (the
“Shares”), pursuant to Rollins’ 2018 Stock
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) upon the terms and
conditions set forth in the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the
“Registration Statement”) filed by Rollins with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Act”). We have acted as counsel
for Rollins in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares
by Rollins.
In
rendering the opinion contained herein, we have relied in part upon
examination of Rollins’ corporate records, documents,
certificates and other instruments and the examination of such
questions of law as we have considered necessary or appropriate for
the purpose of this opinion. Based upon the foregoing, we are of
the opinion that the Shares have been duly and validly authorized
and the Shares will be legally issued, fully paid and
non-assessable (a) when issued in the manner contemplated by the
terms of the Plan and pursuant to a current prospectus in
conformity with the Act, and (b) upon receipt by the Company of
payment therefor (assuming that such payment at all times exceeds
the par value thereof).
We
consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement. This consent is not to be construed as an
admission that we are a party whose consent is required to be filed
with the Registration Statement under the provisions of the
Act.

Sincerely,
