Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. (“Guardian”) (NYSE: GRDN) today announced the launch of a proposed underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 7,500,000 shares of its Class A common stock, consisting of 6,059,553 shares being offered by certain selling stockholders and 1,440,447 newly issued shares being offered by Guardian as part of a non-dilutive “synthetic secondary” transaction, as described below. In addition, the selling stockholders intend to grant the underwriters a 30‑day option to purchase up to an additional 1,125,000 shares of Class A common stock at the public offering price, less the underwriting discount.

The proposed Offering is considered non-dilutive as Guardian intends to use all of the net proceeds it receives in the Offering to repurchase from certain stockholders a number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the number of shares being issued and sold by Guardian in the Offering, at a purchase price per share equal to the public offering price in the Offering, less the underwriting discount (the “Synthetic Secondary”). Accordingly, Guardian will not retain any proceeds from the Offering and, upon completion of the Offering and the Synthetic Secondary, the total number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock will remain the same. The shares to be repurchased by Guardian consist of shares of Class A common stock that were issued upon conversion of shares of Guardian’s Class B common stock that were originally issued in connection with its corporate reorganization in September 2024. Guardian will not receive any proceeds from the offering of shares by the selling stockholders in the Offering.

Raymond James is acting as lead bookrunning manager of the offering and as representative of the underwriters for the proposed Offering. Stephens Inc. and Truist Securities are acting as joint bookrunning managers for the offering.

A registration statement on Form S-1 relating to the proposed Offering has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation, or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of that state or jurisdiction. Any offers, solicitations or offers to buy, or any sales of securities will be made in accordance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
