• Significant Potential Dilution

This 424B3 prospectus supplement provides critical updates on SMX's highly dilutive equity financing. The company has an existing Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (SEPA) with Target Capital 1 LLC, allowing it to sell up to $250 million in ordinary shares. As of this filing, SMX has already drawn down $17.88 million, issuing 877,682 shares, and the prospectus covers the remaining $232.1 million capacity. The terms allow for sales at a deep discount, specifically 94% of the lowest VWAP or 98% of the lowest intraday price during pricing periods. With 3.06 million shares currently outstanding, the potential issuance of an additional 30.4 million shares represents nearly 1000% dilution. This substantial capital raise, priced at a discount while the stock trades near 52-week lows, is occurring in the context of a 'going concern' warning in the company's latest annual report and recent disclosures about potential future reverse stock splits. The use of proceeds, which includes acquiring cryptocurrency if the stock price is below $10, adds another layer of risk given the company's financial distress. This financing is a critical, albeit costly, measure to extend the company's operational runway.
