On February 26, 2018, ServiceMaster entered into an agreement to purchase and combine its Terminix national account pest control operations with Copesan Services, Inc., one of the largest national providers of commercial pest management in the country.
The preliminary purchase price of approximately $150 million, comprised of approximately $100 million due at closing and $50 million due on the third anniversary of closing.
This combination would significantly improve Terminix’s capabilities in commercial pest control as Copesan, under its brand, would provide us with significant expertise, reputation and processes for delivering pest management solutions to sophisticated commercial customers. The transaction is expected to close in the next 30 to 45 days, subject to satisfaction of customary conditions and regulatory approval.
