The Boardroom Buzz Hosts Tim Mulrooney

Tim Mulrooney, equity research analyst at William Blair, returned to The Boardroom Buzz to discuss the pending acquisition of Terminix by Rentokil. 

 

“I was very surprised. I think investors were very surprised. I know Rentokil shareholders were very surprised…but maybe we shouldn't have been,” said Mulrooney.

 

Co-host, Paul Giannamore, Potomac Pest Control Group, added, “No matter what we say in the pest control industry about the Terminix brand, it is a phenomenal brand. And I would argue probably one of the best brands, at least from a consumer-facing perspective.”

 

Other topics discussed included:

 

• The potential synergies of the transaction

• The structure and valuation of the deal

• Potential shareholder vote issues

• Other potential suitors for Terminix

• Potential solutions to possible antitrust issues in the US and Europe

 

Co-hosts of The Boardroom Buzz, Giannamore and Patrick Baldwin, dive deep with Mulrooney to discuss regulatory issues – such as the national accounts business – that could derail the deal.
