OUTCOME OF FRENCH REGULATORY INQUIRY


Further to the announcement made in November 2006, Initial BTB SA, a Rentokil
Initial subsidiary operating in the washroom services and linen and garment
rental market in France, has now received the judgment of the French Competition
Council relating to allegations that certain of its activities in a period
between 1997 and 2002 infringed competition laws.  As a result, Initial BTB will
pay a fine of €5.25 million.

Initial BTB co-operated in all respects with the inquiry, which has now been
concluded.  The amount of the fine was provided for in 2006.

Rentokil Initial's policy has been and remains to conduct its business in full
compliance with all applicable competition laws.  Enhanced training programmes
and communication procedures have been introduced across the group to reinforce
this policy and our employees' understanding of their obligations.
