Governance and Nominating Committee
 
The Governance and Nominating Committee is organized and conducts its business pursuant to a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. A copy of the Governance and Nominating Committee charter is posted under the “Corporate Governance” link on the Company’s Internet website located at http://investor.scotts.com and is available in print to any shareholder of the Company or other interested person who requests it from the Corporate Secretary of the Company. At least annually, the Governance and Nominating Committee evaluates its performance, reviews and assesses the adequacy of its charter and recommends to the Board of Directors any proposed changes thereto as may be necessary or desirable.
 
The Governance and Nominating Committee recommends nominees for membership on the Board of Directors and policies regarding the composition of the Board of Directors generally. The Governance and Nominating Committee also makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding committee selection, including committee chairs and rotation practices, the overall effectiveness of the Board of Directors and of management (in the areas of Board of Directors relations and corporate governance), director compensation and developments in corporate governance practices. The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for developing a policy with regard to the consideration of candidates for election or appointment to the Board of Directors recommended by shareholders of the Company and procedures to be followed by shareholders in submitting such recommendations, consistent with any shareholder nomination requirements which may be set forth in the Company’s Code of Regulations and applicable laws, rules and regulations. In considering potential nominees for election or appointment to the Board of Directors, the Governance and Nominating Committee conducts its own search for available, qualified nominees and will consider candidates from any reasonable source, including shareholder recommendations. The Governance and Nominating Committee is also responsible for developing and recommending to the Board of Directors corporate governance guidelines applicable to the Company and overseeing the evaluation of the Board and management.
