In a significant announcement on May 27, 2026, Rollins, Inc. (NYSE: ROL), a leading player in the global consumer and commercial services sector, disclosed the forthcoming resignation of its Chief Financial Officer, Kenneth D. Krause. Effective June 15, 2026, Krause will leave to embrace a new opportunity in a different industry. In a bid to ensure a seamless transition, he has agreed to assist the company during the transfer period through a transition services agreement.

Krause joined Rollins in 2022 and has made substantial contributions to the organization throughout his tenure. His leadership has been pivotal in modernizing business operations, optimizing the capital structure, and enhancing investor transparency. Under his guidance, Rollins has experienced impressive growth, with market capitalization soaring by over fifty percent and dividends rising more than eighty percent since 2022.

Jerry Gahlhoff, President and CEO of Rollins, commended Krause’s leadership qualities and strategic vision, highlighting his role in fortifying the finance division and contributing significantly to the company’s long-term objectives. "Ken has been an outstanding leader and trusted partner to me, our leadership team, and our Board," said Gahlhoff, expressing gratitude for Krause's impactful contributions.

I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together over these years, particularly in advancing the company’s modernization and growth efforts. I am committed to supporting the company in the coming months for a smooth handover."

Stepping into the CFO role upon Krause's departure will be William W. Harkins, who has been elected to the position effective June 15, 2026. Harkins comes with over two decades of extensive financial and accounting leadership experience.

Expressing his enthusiasm for the new role, Harkins said, "I am honored to take on the role of CFO at Rollins. The company possesses a solid foundation and a distinctive business model that provides a promising avenue for ongoing shareholder value creation.
