GRIFFIN GREENHOUSE SUPPLIES INC

Shareholders of GRIFFIN GREENHOUSE SUPPLIES, INC.

No shareholder rows were supplied with this company record. The shareholder field delivered by the data provider contains only a generic note about United States disclosure practice and carries no holder name, no percentage, no share class and no date. That is a gap in what was supplied, and it is a separate statement from what the jurisdiction publishes. It is not evidence that GRIFFIN GREENHOUSE SUPPLIES, INC. has no shareholders.

On the jurisdiction: Massachusetts does not publish share registers or beneficial ownership for business corporations, and the Connecticut and New York registrations read for this profile publish principals, agents and addresses but no shareholders. GRIFFIN GREENHOUSE SUPPLIES, INC. appears to be privately held: a search of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s EDGAR company database on 30 September 2026 returned no registrant matching "Griffin Greenhouse", so there is no proxy statement, no table of holders of 5% or more, and no Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G disclosure for this company. Beneficial ownership reported to FinCEN under U.S. federal law is not held in a public register.

One official record bears on ownership without naming anyone. On its LEI record GRIFFIN GREENHOUSE SUPPLIES, INC. reports neither a direct nor an ultimate accounting-consolidation parent, and the reporting-exception reason recorded by GLEIF in both cases is NATURAL_PERSONS — GLEIF’s category for an entity whose consolidating parent is a natural person or persons. That record states no name, no percentage and no date of acquisition, and it sits on an LEI registration that has been lapsed since 26 June 2024, last updated 15 April 2025, so it should be read as an entity-supplied declaration of that vintage rather than as a current ownership filing.

Data availability

Shareholders: Not public. Ultimate beneficial ownership: Not public. Neither the Massachusetts register of formation nor the Connecticut or New York foreign registrations publish shareholders, holding percentages or beneficial owners for a privately held business corporation, and no federal securities filing exists for this company to supply them. Every gap described above is a disclosure limit of the jurisdiction or a gap in the data supplied, not a finding that no shareholder or beneficial owner exists. No ultimate beneficial owner is identified here because no authoritative source read for this profile names one.

Directors and officers of GRIFFIN GREENHOUSE SUPPLIES, INC.

The only officer list for GRIFFIN GREENHOUSE SUPPLIES, INC. that could be read from an official register comes from the Connecticut Secretary of the State’s Business Registry, which publishes principals for the company’s Connecticut registration under account 0286658. In the registry extract dated 30 September 2026 it records five principals: M. Christopher Cowles, designation Director; Richard Tompkins, designation Director; David Weener, designation Director; Craig S. Hyslip, designation Officer and Director; and Richard T. Hyslip, designation Officer and Director. The Connecticut register supplies no appointment date, no resignation or termination date and no nationality for any of them, so each is best described as status not disclosed rather than confirmed active. Separately, the New York Department of State’s record for the company’s foreign registration, DOS ID 3138675, names Richard T. Hyslip in the chief executive officer field; that dataset carries no date for the field, so it reflects the most recent biennial statement of undisclosed vintage.

The officer rows delivered with this company record are a partial, undated set — five rows against a stated total of 20, each with a null appointment date, a null resignation date and a work status of ACTIVE. Two of the five correspond to people the Connecticut register records as principals, but with different role labels: one is labelled chief financial officer where Connecticut records him as an Officer and Director and New York records him in the chief executive officer field, and the other is labelled generically as an officer where Connecticut records him as a Director. One person appears twice in the supplied rows under two different titles. Two of the supplied names could not be matched to any register that could be read for this company and are therefore not repeated here. The given-name and surname fields are in the correct order in all five supplied rows; no transposition of name fields was found.

Data availability

Partial. The Massachusetts Corporations Division is the register of formation and is the authoritative source for this company’s officers and directors, but its corporate search at corp.sec.state.ma.us could not be read on 30 September 2026 because it sits behind a JavaScript challenge, so the domicile register’s own officer list was not obtained. The Connecticut principals data is current only: it carries no appointment, resignation or termination dates and no history. Nationality is not disclosed by any register read for this profile, so nationality is recorded as Not disclosed for every person named above, and it is not inferred from a name, an address or a state of residence. The Connecticut register also publishes residence addresses for principals; those are not reproduced here, and no date of birth or national identification number is published or repeated. Missing officer data is a disclosure limit, not evidence that the company has no directors or officers.

Group structure of GRIFFIN GREENHOUSE SUPPLIES, INC.

No corporate parent and no subsidiary of GRIFFIN GREENHOUSE SUPPLIES, INC. could be verified from any source read for this profile. On its LEI record the company reports neither a direct nor an ultimate accounting-consolidation parent, giving NATURAL_PERSONS as the reporting-exception reason in both cases, and GLEIF returned no direct children for the LEI when queried on 30 September 2026. Searches of the New York Department of State and the Connecticut Business Registry each return exactly one entity matching this name, and GLEIF returns one; no separate legal entity with a confusingly similar name was found in those registers.

The corporate-linkage data supplied with this record is a two-node tree. The lower node is labelled "SHS Griffin" and carries the identifier "#0189871813", which is not in the format of any register identifier used by the sources above and could not be matched to anything. No entity named "SHS Griffin" appears in the New York Department of State register, the Connecticut Business Registry or the GLEIF database. Greenhouse Grower reported on 14 November 2012 that Griffin acquired the SHS business from Syngenta, including its distribution and brokerage capabilities and the assets affiliated with its Lisle, Illinois headquarters and Downers Grove, Illinois facility, with employees at both sites transferring to Griffin at closing — an acquisition of a business and assets rather than of a company. On the evidence read here, "SHS Griffin" is not established as a legal entity and is not counted as a subsidiary of GRIFFIN GREENHOUSE SUPPLIES, INC.

Recent structural changes

Greenhouse Grower reported on 9 December 2024 that GRIFFIN GREENHOUSE SUPPLIES, INC. had acquired Waldo & Associates Inc. of Perrysburg, Ohio. The report does not state whether shares or assets were acquired, and no register read for this profile records Waldo & Associates Inc. as a subsidiary of GRIFFIN GREENHOUSE SUPPLIES, INC., so the relationship is not presented as verified corporate ownership.

Data availability

Not public. Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York publish no parent, subsidiary, branch or ownership-percentage information for a privately held business corporation, and no shareholder rows were supplied with this record from which an ownership chain could be built, so no ownership percentage is stated and none is calculated. The GLEIF parent declarations are entity-supplied and sit on an LEI registration that has been lapsed since 26 June 2024, last updated 15 April 2025. The absence of a recorded relationship here is a disclosure limit and a supply gap; it is not evidence that GRIFFIN GREENHOUSE SUPPLIES, INC. has no parent, no subsidiaries and no branches.
