information in this press release includes &ldquo;forward-looking statements&rdquo; within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions

events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words &ldquo;anticipate,&rdquo; &ldquo;believe,&rdquo;

&ldquo;predict,&rdquo; &ldquo;project,&rdquo; &ldquo;should,&rdquo; &ldquo;would&rdquo; and similar expressions may identify forward-looking
statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this
press release may include, for example: successful launch and implementation of SMX&rsquo;s joint projects with manufacturers and other
supply chain participants of steel, rubber and other materials; changes in SMX&rsquo;s strategy, future operations, financial position,
estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects and plans; SMX&rsquo;s ability to develop and launch new products and services,
including its planned Plastic Cycle Token; SMX&rsquo;s ability to successfully and efficiently integrate future expansion plans and opportunities;
SMX&rsquo;s ability to grow its business in a cost-effective manner; SMX&rsquo;s product development timeline and estimated research
and development costs; the implementation, market acceptance and success of SMX&rsquo;s business model; developments and projections
relating to SMX&rsquo;s competitors and industry; and SMX&rsquo;s approach and goals with respect to technology. These forward-looking
statements are based on information available as of the date of this press release, and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions,
and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing
views as of any subsequent date, and no obligation is undertaken to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances
after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable
securities laws. As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, actual results or performance may be materially
different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ
include: the ability to maintain the listing of the Company&rsquo;s shares on Nasdaq; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the
ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations, and identify and realize additional opportunities; the risk of
downturns and the possibility of rapid change in the highly competitive industry in which SMX operates; the risk that SMX and its current
and future collaborators are unable to successfully develop and commercialize SMX&rsquo;s products or services, or experience significant
delays in doing so; the risk that the Company may never achieve or sustain profitability; the risk that the Company will need to raise
additional capital to execute its business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; the risk that the Company
experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations; the risk that third-party suppliers and manufacturers are not
able to fully and timely meet their obligations; the risk that SMX is unable to secure or protect its intellectual property; the possibility
that SMX may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and other risks and uncertainties described
