YORK, NY &ndash; 10 June 2026 &ndash; SMX (Security Matters) PLC (NASDAQ: SMX; SMXWW), a pioneer in digitizing physical materials for

Circularity-as-a-Service platform combines multiple SMX technologies and service offerings to unlock the economic value
of recycled plastics by enabling recyclers, sorters and manufacturers to accurately identify, grade, certify and verify recycled
materials, with the goal of creating trusted recycled plastic streams for higher-value applications. By offering trusted and standardized
recycled plastic streams, SMX anticipates that recycled materials can qualify for higher-value applications that have traditionally relied
on virgin plastics.</FONT></P>

platform supports participants across the plastics value chain, including waste collectors, aggregators, sorters, material recovery facilities
(MRFs), mechanical recyclers, chemical recyclers, compounders, pellet producers, resin producers, converters, packaging manufacturers,
brand owners, retailers and commodity traders. By combining the Company&rsquo;s molecular marking technology, reader infrastructure,
Digital Material Passports, a Recycled Plastic Registry, Marketplace functionality and Plastic Cycle Tokens, SMX is seeking to provide
the infrastructure required to create a new generation of verified and certified recycled plastic products.</FONT></P>

global demand for plastics continues to grow, SMX believes that the industry faces a critical challenge: increasing the supply of high-quality
recycled materials capable of replacing virgin plastic in more demanding applications. While significant volumes of plastic are collected
and recycled each year, limitations in sorting, verification and material grading often prevent recycled plastics from achieving their
highest potential value.</FONT></P>

is addressing this challenge through its advanced material identification, smart sorting and certification capabilities that would enable
used and recycled plastics to be accurately graded according to their composition, recycled content, quality and recycling history. This
is expected to allow recyclers and manufacturers to unlock new end markets, improve material performance, increase recyclate value and
expand the range of applications where recycled plastics can successfully compete with virgin materials.</FONT></P>

the plastics industry enters the &ldquo;Age of Parity&rdquo;&mdash;where recycled plastics increasingly compete with virgin plastics

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

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

that SMX may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and other risks and uncertainties described
