Hagedorn Christopher 4

What Happened
Christopher Hagedorn, Executive Vice President & Chief of Staff at Scotts Miracle-Gro (SMG), reported an acquisition of 4.252 shares on April 30, 2026. The shares were acquired at $51.04 each for a total reported value of about $217. This was an acquisition (not a sale), but the dollar amount is very small and therefore of limited economic significance.

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-04-30, 4.252 shares at $51.04 per share (total ~$217).
• Transaction code: J (reported as "Other acquisition or disposition") — a catch-all code for transactions that don't fit standard categories.
• Filing date: Form 4 was filed 2026-05-28, about 28 days after the transaction; Form 4s are generally required within 2 business days, so this filing appears late.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the information provided in this summary.
• No notation of a 10b5-1 plan, tax withholding, or gift—none were indicated in the provided transaction details.

Context
Code J transactions are labeled "other" and do not by themselves explain the motive or mechanism (e.g., dividend reinvestment, rounding, plan adjustments). Given the small dollar value (~$217), this trade is unlikely to be material to the insider's holdings or to signal a major change in insider sentiment.
