Notes

  • 1 To appoint as a proxy a person other than the Chairman of the meeting insert the full name in the space provided. A proxy need not be a member of the company. Unless otherwise indicated the proxy will vote as he or she thinks fit or, at his or her discretion, including in respect of any other resolution properly put to the meeting. If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If left blank your proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement (or in the case of a corporate shareholder, the full voting entitlement for each relevant designated account).
  • 2 To appoint more than one proxy you may photocopy this form or obtain additional proxy forms by contacting Capital Registrars. Please indicate the proxy holder's name and the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy (which, in aggregate, should not exceed the number of shares held by you). Please indicate if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.
  • 3 A corporation may appoint more than one corporate representative. A corporation's form of proxy must be executed under either its common seal or the hand of a duly authorised officer or attorney (stating the officer's capacity).
  • 4 The proxy form is for use in respect of the shareholder account specified above only and should not be amended or submitted in respect of a different account.
  • 5 In the case of joint shareholders the signature of any will suffice, but the names of all joint holders should be shown, and the vote of the senior holder who tenders the vote, in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint members. For this purpose seniority is determined by the order in which names stand on the register of members.
  • 6 The 'Vote Withheld' option is to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. Such a vote is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.
  • 7 The form of proxy must be signed by the shareholder or any person duly authorised by the shareholder or if the shareholder is a corporation, be signed by a duly authorised person or under its common seal, or any other manner authorised by its constitution.
  • 8 Shares held in uncertified form (i.e. in CREST) may be voted through the CREST Proxy Voting Service in accordance with the procedures set out in the CREST manual.
  • 9 To be valid the proxy form below must arrive not later than 48 hours before the time set for the meeting at Capita Registrars, The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU during usual business hours. If you submit more than one proxy in respect of the same share, the last appointment received before the latest time for receipt of proxies will take precedence.
  • 10 Neither the appointment of a proxy nor the submission of a CREST voting instruction through the CREST Proxy Voting Service will preclude a registered shareholder from attending or voting in person. If you prefer you may return your proxy form in an envelope to FREEPOST RSBH-UXKS-LRBC, PXS, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU. No stamp is required.

This letter is your notification that Rentokil Initial plc ("the company") has posted its 2011 annual report and the 2012 AGM notice on the company's website at www.rentokil-initial.com/investors

This year our AGM will be held in the Ascot Suite at the Hilton, Gatwick Airport, South Terminal, Crawley, West Sussex RH6 0LL on Tuesday 1 May 2012 at 12 noon. A location map for this new venue is provided on page 11 of the notice of meeting and on the form of proxy. An attendance card is also attached which you should bring with you if you attend the meeting.

Biographical details of the directors seeking re-election or re-appointment are set out in the notes on the resolutions which follow the notice of meeting.

The board believes that all of the proposed resolutions set out in the following notice of meeting are in the best interests of the company and the shareholders as a whole and recommends you to vote in favour of the resolutions to be put to the meeting, as all members of the board intend to do in respect of their own beneficial shareholdings.

I hope that you will be able to attend the AGM and raise any questions you may have on the matters to be considered at the meeting. If you would like to vote on the resolutions but cannot come to the meeting, please complete the proxy form sent with this notice and return it to our registrars by no later than 12 noon on Friday 27 April 2012. Information about how to appoint a proxy electronically is given in note 4(b) of the notice of meeting.

The company will conduct votes on all resolutions by way of a poll of all shareholders. This reflects best practice and will ensure that shareholders who are not able to attend the meeting, but who have appointed proxies, have their votes fully taken into account. The poll results will be announced on the business day following the AGM.

If you have consented to receive the company's annual report via our website, I would like to thank you. This minimises the use of resources and contributes to additional cost savings for the company.
