BrightSpring Celebrates First Day of Trading on Nasdaq

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BrightSpring Health Services, Inc. (“BrightSpring” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BTSG) today marked its first day of trading on Nasdaq following the pricing of its initial public offering on January 25, 2024. The Company today announced that it will award approximately $100 million in restricted stock unit grants to approximately 20,000 full-time, tenured employees.

BrightSpring is a leader in delivering essential and high-quality pharmacy and provider services to complex patients in preferred home and community settings. The Company serves over 400,000 patients per day while making a positive impact in communities and people’s lives across the U.S. Affiliates of KKR and Walgreens Boots Alliance have owned BrightSpring since 2019 and will continue to hold the majority of the Company’s shares after the initial public offering.

“Our dedicated employees are the foundation of our mission-driven organization, and we are honored to have this opportunity to further invest in them in a unique way,” said BrightSpring CEO Jon Rousseau. “As we continue to advance, investing in our people has remained at the forefront in order to deliver high-quality and cost-effective care to patients. By creating broad and deep employee ownership on a large scale, we continue to demonstrate the Company’s commitment to rewarding and further incentivizing our skilled and compassionate clinicians, pharmacists, and caregivers and the broader BrightSpring team.”

“We have tremendous respect for BrightSpring and are thrilled to support the Company and share in this momentous event,” said Max Lin, Partner at KKR. “We are also excited to announce a significant broad-based equity grant program to thank thousands of hard-working and devoted employees for their significant efforts and further energize the collective organization as a quality-focused and innovative leader in healthcare services.”
