Rentokil Initial plc

Issue of new €350m bond

Rentokil Initial plc (the "Company") has today agreed the issue of €350 million 3.25% bonds due 7 October 2021.

The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of existing debt.  One of the Company's existing bonds matures early next year, so this new issue will lengthen the average life of the Company's debt.

The issue follows Standard & Poor's recent improvement in the outlook associated with its BBB- rating for the Company, from "stable" to "positive".

Jeremy Townsend, Chief Financial Officer of Rentokil Initial plc, said: "I am delighted by the success of this issue, which secures more than two thirds of our bond debt at a coupon below 3.5%."
