Equity Compensation Analyst

Executive receives time-vested stock option grant, a standard long-term incentive.

Guardian Pharmacy Services granted Morris David K 50,000 stock options with a $34.59 exercise price, expiring on February 11, 2036. This is coded as an acquisition award, not an open-market purchase or sale, and is reported as directly owned.

The option vests in full on February 11, 2029, encouraging long-term alignment with the company’s performance. Because this is a single award with no immediate cash transaction or share issuance, its impact on existing shareholders appears routine based on the disclosed figures.
