<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">SMX enables materials to carry a history that can be authenticated through origination, use, recycle, and multiple reuse cycles. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company&#146;s B2B white label platforms power commercial sustainability applications across a variety of industries, including timber, rubber, palm oil,
cocoa, steel, gold, luxury goods, leather, plastics, and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-ferrous</FONT> metals, to transition successfully to a sustainable circular economy, thus reducing their carbon footprint and waste. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">SMX offers a robust, innovative, and scalable solution for supply chain authentication, traceability, and transparency to transform businesses for
participation in the circular economy. Its technology gives materials in solid, liquid, and gas forms the ability to maintain a virtual memory of origination, processing and supply chain journey, including the ability to authenticate provenance, as
well as to track recycling loop counts and the percentage of authenticated and/or recycled materials contained. The data is recorded digitally on blockchain, and a linking molecular chemical marker is embedded in the product itself and can be read
with a proprietary reader. The SMX technology has been in active operational use on a national scale by the Israeli Government for more than ten years, is environmentally sustainable and has a proven track record. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The SMX solution is an efficient, cost effective, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">drop-in</FONT> solution within an existing supply chain, enabling
substantial benefits for manufacturers, consumers, and others in the value chain &#150; and the planet, including providing the necessary data for product recycling and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-use.</FONT> In addition, the SMX technology
addresses the issue of the increase in waste globally by enabling the increase in demand for verified, usable recycled materials by creating a commoditized, tradable certified asset which is the recycled material, which can be traded and sold to
other players in the value chain and ecosystem. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Forward-Looking Statements </B></P>
