Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 20, 2025, BrightSpring Health Services, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement with KKR Phoenix Aggregator L.P. (the “KKR Selling Stockholder”), the Management Selling Stockholders (as defined therein) (together with the KKR Selling Stockholder, the “Selling Stockholders”), and BofA Securities, Inc. (the “Underwriter”), relating to an underwritten offering (the “Offering”) of 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”). The closing of the Offering and the Share Repurchase (as defined below) occurred on October 22, 2025.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, all 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock were sold by the Selling Stockholders. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the Offering, other than proceeds received in connection with the cash exercise of stock options by the Management Selling Stockholders in connection with the Offering.

The Company purchased 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock from the Underwriter as part of the Offering (the “Share Repurchase”). The Underwriter did not receive any underwriting fees for the shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company in the Share Repurchase.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference and filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
