SMX (Security Matters) Public Limited Company (the "Company") previously announced that, on December 1, 2025, it entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, as amended pursuant to an Amendment and Addendum to Standby Equity Purchase Agreement dated December 9, 2025 (as so amended, the "Purchase Agreement"), with institutional investors (each, an "Investor" and collectively, the "Investors") to issue and sell to (a) each of the Investors, promissory notes (each, a "Note" and collectively, the "Notes"), for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $16.5 million, and (b) one of the Investors (the "Equity Line Investor"), up to $100 million worth of the Company's ordinary shares in an equity line of credit (the "Equity Line"). The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement originally closed on December 3, 2025, with a second closing having occurred on December 24, 2025. Accordingly, the Company, as of December 24, 2025, issued Notes to the Investors with an aggregate principal (including a 20% original issue discount) of $20,625,000.

(the "Placement Agent") acted as placement agent for the offering, and the Company paid the Placement Agent an aggregate cash fee equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Notes, or $1,320,000, plus expenses.

The resale of the Company's ordinary shares (a) issued as the Facility Fee, (b) that may be issued upon conversion of the Notes and (c) that may be issued pursuant to the Equity Line, are registered pursuant to the Company's Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-292153) declared effective by the SEC on December 29, 2025.

This Report on Form 6-K is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities of the Company.
