Shares in Rentokil Initial PLC (LSE:RTO) were among the picks of the FTSE 100 in a quiet Wednesday morning, rising 1.6% on the pest control company striking a deal to offload its French workwear business for up to an expected €370 million (£274m) of cash proceeds. The buyer is US-based investment firm HIG Capital, which has signed a binding put option to obtain the workwear, flat linen and clean room business in France for a gross enterprise value of roughly €410 million on a cash and debt-free basis.
