	ServiceMaster has a unique and rich heritage, founded in 1928 as a moth-proofing company by a former minor league baseball player, Marion Wade. While our company has changed a great deal since that time, our customers&rsquo; expectations have not.

	&nbsp;

	Today, the ServiceMaster Company, LLC is a leading provider of essential residential and commercial services, operating through an extensive service network of more than 7,000 company-owned, franchised and licensed locations. The company&rsquo;s portfolio of well-recognized brands includes Terminix (termite and pest control), American Home Shield (home warranties), ServiceMaster Restore (disaster restoration), ServiceMaster Clean (janitorial), Merry Maids (residential cleaning), Furniture Medic (furniture repair) and AmeriSpec (home inspections).

	&nbsp;

	Not only are our brands the leaders in their respective categories, in most cases they actually created the categories themselves. Terminix, for example, was founded in the 1920s to help protect homes from termites. American Home Shield founded the home warranty industry more than 40 years ago, and today boasts a national footprint that&#39;s unmatched by any competitor. And ServiceMaster is largely recognized as a pioneer in franchising, issuing its first franchise license in 1952.

	&nbsp;

	Finally, as you think about our company, it&rsquo;s important to know we serve 5 million residential and commercial customers a year, visiting more than 80,000 homes each day. That&rsquo;s a pretty remarkable trust our customers place in us, giving us access to their homes and businesses.
