(SMG), had two reported acquisitions: a grant of 29,168 shares (reported at $0.00) on July 1, 2026, and an "other acquisition" of 95.383 shares on June 30, 2026 at $52.42 per share for a total of $5,000.

Key Details

- Filing: Form 4 filed 2026-07-06 for the June 30–July 1 transactions; this is after the typical 2-business-day deadline and may be late.
- Shares owned after the transactions: not disclosed in the filing.
- Footnote: F1 states Baxter may be deemed to beneficially own shares held by Hagedorn Partnership, L.P., where he is a general partner; the reported ownership and interest reflect partnership holdings (he’s a 10% owner via that entity).
- Transaction codes: A = award/grant (likely compensation/RSUs); J = other acquisition/disposition.
Context Grants (code A) are commonly compensation-related (e.g., RSUs or restricted stock) and do not necessarily signal the insider purchasing shares in the open market. The small J acquisition ($5k) is a minor buy. As a 10% owner with partnership holdings, these reported movements may reflect partnership-level allocations or compensation rather than routine open‑market investing.
