About the Lawsuit
Scotts and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.

On this news, the price of Scotts’ shares fell by $13.58 per share, or 19%, from a closing price of $71.44 per share on August 1, 2023, to a closing price of $57.86 per share on August 2, 2023.
The case is City of Hialeah Employees’ Retirement System v. The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, No. 24-cv-03132.
