Guardian Pharmacy Services Enters Insider Lock-Up Through Sep 2027

What Happened
Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. filed an 8-K on September 10, 2026 announcing that its founders, executive officers and certain other employees (the “Lock-Up Holders”) entered into lock-up agreements. About 29.9 million shares of Class A common stock will be restricted from sale or transfer without the company’s consent through September 14, 2027. The company also noted an upcoming automatic conversion and issuance of 13,521,396 shares of Class A common stock on September 27, 2026.

Key Details

• Filing date: September 10, 2026 (Form 8-K, Item 8.01 Other Events).
• Lock-up covers ~29.9 million Class A shares held by founders, executives and certain employees.
• Those locked shares equal ~81% of the ~37 million Class A shares that will be held by founders/executives/employees after the upcoming conversion.
• Final tranche conversion: 13,521,396 Class A shares to be issued Sept 27, 2026; total Class A outstanding after conversion: 63,320,300 shares.
• Lock-up period: from Sept 10, 2026 through Sept 14, 2027, subject to limited exceptions and company consent.

Why It Matters
The lock-up removes a large portion of insider-held shares from the pool of potentially sellable stock for about a year, which can reduce near-term selling pressure from founders and executives. The scheduled conversion on Sept 27 increases total Class A shares outstanding, but most of the insider-held shares (about 81% of that group) will remain restricted under the new agreements. Investors should note the timing (conversion and lock-up end dates) and that exceptions or company consent could allow some earlier transfers.
