SCOTTS MIRACLE-GRO (SMG) Director Miller Austin Scott Receives Award

What Happened

• Miller Austin Scott (Director) was granted 53 derivative shares on 2026-09-04. The grant is reported as an award/acquisition (derivative) and no per-share price or total cash value is listed on the Form 4.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-09-04; Form 4 filed: 2026-09-09 (appears to be filed after the typical 2-business-day deadline).
• Transaction type/code: A (Award/Grant) — derivative (not an open-market purchase or sale).
• Shares reported: 53 shares granted; price shown as N/A; total value not specified.
• Shares owned after transaction: not provided in the supplied data.
• Footnote: Dividend equivalent rights accrued on DSU/RSU grants become exercisable proportionately with the DSUs/RSUs and are the economic equivalent of one common share (per filing footnote).

Context

• This was a compensation/award event (likely DSUs/RSUs with dividend equivalents), not a market purchase or sale — such grants are typically for compensation or retention and do not by themselves signal a buy or sell action. The Form 4 filing date is later than the transaction date, which delays public transparency of the grant.
