Scotts Miracle-Gro Co. reported an insider ownership change involving Stephen L. Johnson, a reporting person for the company, tied to director or insider compensation rather than an open-market trade. According to the Form 4 filed July 6, 2026, the transaction occurred on July 1, 2026, and involved Scotts Miracle-Gro common shares in the form of Deferred Stock Units. The filing notes that the Deferred Stock Units were issued to Johnson “in lieu of retainer” with a stated retainer value of $7,188. This indicates the equity award represented compensation that otherwise would have been paid in cash. The filing text provided does not specify the number of Deferred Stock Units issued, the deemed conversion or grant price, the transaction code, or Johnson’s beneficial ownership following the transaction. It also does not report any sale, option exercise, or open-market purchase. Based on the explanatory note, the reported change appears to be a routine equity-based compensation issuance. The Form 4 was signed on July 6, 2026, by Kathy L. Uttley as attorney-in-fact for Stephen L. Johnson.
