LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BrightSpring Health Services, Inc. (“BrightSpring” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BTSG) today announced its $100 million equity grant as disclosed at the initial public offering (IPO), has now been awarded to approximately 20,000 of its full-time and tenured employees who were awarded with employee-specific shares. The Company first announced this broad-based employee grant on January 26 as part of its IPO, with these to-be-granted shares included in the Company’s share count at the time.

“We are excited and honored to award about twenty thousand of our hard-working and impactful teammates with stock grants to show our appreciation for their commitment to delivering high-quality care and services to the people and families we serve,” said BrightSpring’s President and CEO Jon Rousseau. “Realizing our mission of improving lives is only possible with dedicated employees, managers, and leaders, and we believe this grant not only rewards our people, but also aligns with an ownership culture.”

To qualify for the grant, full-time employees must work 32+ hours/week with a one-year lookback and tenured employees must have one continuous year of service through March 31, 2024.

“As a company that prioritizes customer, patient, and employee satisfaction, we hope this grant program incentivizes even more highly skilled caregivers, clinicians, pharmacists and health care workers to join our team at BrightSpring and help us further our important mission,” added Rousseau.
