Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (SMG) in our archive over the last 12 months, newest first, and each one links through to the document itself with the summary and the scores our analysis gives it.
A DEF 14A covers the proxy statement, with executive pay and the shareholder votes, so if you follow SMG and want that one kind of document rather than the whole filing history, this is the page to keep. The company's other filings, of every form, are on the full SMG filings page.
The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company is asking shareholders to vote on key items at its 2026 virtual annual meeting, including electing four directors, an advisory vote on executive pay, ratifying Deloitte & Touche LLP as auditor for fiscal 2026, and approving an amended and restated long-term incentive plan that increases the common shares available for equity awards.
The proxy describes a 12‑member board led by combined Chairman & CEO James Hagedorn, supported by a Lead Independent Director and a Vice Chair, with most directors meeting NYSE independence standards and serving on fully independent audit, compensation and governance committees. It outlines robust risk oversight, including quarterly cybersecurity reporting to the Audit Committee, and details non‑employee director pay, which blends a $115,000 annual cash retainer with equity grants (heavily weighted to RSUs) and strict stock ownership guidelines to align directors with long‑term shareholder interests.
