Scotts Miracle‑Gro (SMG) Director Stephen Johnson Receives Award

What Happened

• Stephen L. Johnson, a director of Scotts Miracle‑Gro Co. (SMG), received a grant/award of common shares as part of a board retainer deferral election. The amendment corrects an earlier Form 4 omission: the reporting person received 118 common shares in total (not 112), at a reported fair value of $61.01 per share (total ≈ $7,199.18). The amendment specifically adds a missing 6 shares valued at $366.

• Price/fair value reported: $61.01 per share
• Shares involved: amendment adds 6 shares; total received = 118 shares (previously reported as 112)
• Total value (approx.): 118 × $61.01 = $7,199.18; the omitted 6 shares ≈ $366

Context

• This was a compensation-related award (board retainer deferral), not an open-market purchase or sale, so it reflects director compensation mechanics rather than a market bet. The amendment fixes a disclosure error and does not on its own indicate a change in insider sentiment.
