The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Rentokil Initial PLC (RTO) Misled Investors Regarding its Integration of Terminix
According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that: (1) Rentokil experienced levels of disruption in the early pilots of its Terminix integration; (2) Rentokil experienced significant, ongoing, self-inflicted execution challenges integrating Terminix; (3) the disruption and execution challenges imperiled Rentokil’s integration plan for Terminix; (4) Rentokil and Terminix were still two separate businesses that were not yet integrated; and (5) Rentokil’s failure to integrate Terminix negatively impacted the Company’s business and operations, particularly organic revenue growth in North America.
Plaintiff alleges that news of the failed integration came to light on September 11, 2024, when Rentokil provided an unscheduled “Trading Update,” announcing that the Company now expected only 1% organic revenue growth in North America for the second half of 2024—well below the Company’s prior guidance. The Company further revealed this was “a manifestation of execution challenges.”
On this news, the price of Rentokil ADSs fell $6.65 per ADS, or more than 21%, from a closing price of $31.60 per ADS on September 10, 2024, to a closing price of $24.95 per ADS on September 11, 2024.
