SMX Origin story ‘From in the dark to informed intelligence’ There are moments the ground shifts beneath our feet. Suddenly, the entire global landscape changes, and business can no longer operate in the way it did before. Today, we are experiencing that change. The world is demanding greater and greater transparency, efficiency and resilience - a call to do things better; a challenge loaded with so much exciting possibility. That is why SMX decided to find a new way to unlock knowledge – to help counter the lack of transparency and create a system where bad actors have nowhere to hide. With ‘augmented materials,’ you can know the granular detail of a material – its provenance, its purity, its integrity. That way, transparency can be built-in, and industry can gain the intelligence it needs to work in smarter and more productive ways - linking parts of the value chain and enabling use, reuse and reuse again to realize the potential of materials. st It’s a system designed for the 21 century economy. A system that is highly innovative and can empower businesses to build the real-world circular economy. A system that can help change the way we operate from the inside out.

Our Vision To unlock the way global business will operate tomorrow, by enabling a real-world circular economy. We can help make the transition to a circular economy positive, productive and profitable for everyone in the value chain – and for the planet.

What is the ‘Circular Economy’? The circular economy is a new way of The circular economy moves away from the traditional “take- looking at the relationships between make- dispose” economic model to one that is regenerative by design, with the goal of retaining as much value as possible from markets, customers and natural resources. resources, products, parts and materials to create a system that allows for longer life, optimal reuse, refurbishment, remanufacturing and recycling. Companies who implement the circular economy concentrate on rethinking products and services using principles based on Move away from durability, renewability, reuse, repair, replacement, upgrades, the linear economy… refurbishment and reduced material use. By applying these principles, companies can design out waste, increase resource productivity and decouple growth from natural resource consumption. This is the biggest opportunity to transform production and consumption since the First Industrial Revolution 250 years ago. By unleashing circular innovation, we can boost Enable the the global economy’s resilience, support people and Circular Economy… communities around the world and help fulfil the Paris Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. - World Business Council for Sustainable Development, CEO Guide to the Circular Economy,2017 15 Proprietary to Security Matters, and protected under Federal US, AU and EU IP laws and regulations, as are any results (physical or intellectual property) of any work done.


Circular closed loop economy The core challenge of climate change and protecting the environment is not only limited to carbon emissions or coal, but about reusing products again, so we can reduce the amount of raw materials we need. It is uneconomical and inefficient to use 100% new materials in every product you manufacture. By reclaiming & recycling the materials from unwanted products at the end of their lifecycle, it can be more efficient and economical for the business and the industry as a whole. 16 Proprietary to Security Matters, and protected under Federal US, AU and EU IP laws and regulations, as are any results (physical or intellectual property) of any work done.


SMX Technology Innovation 17


To be a leading Impact ESG Investment High Impact Potential for Positive Change SMX’s technology is an enabler for global companies across various industries to transition more successfully to a sustainable circular economy. By adopting SMX’s technology, they can be able to tangibly measure and track the raw material from origination, through the supply chain and at the end of life – where the amount of material recycled/reused from that product item can be measured and as well as the number of times that specific material/item has been recycled/reused. This gives brands/companies the option and ability to record this on SMX’s digital blockchain platform to more accurately claim carbon & plastic credits that are tangibly linked to a physical recycled commodity – potentially resulting in a valuable tradeable asset. The overall transition to the Circular Economy, by incentivizing players along the value chain, can be made by commoditizing and increasing the value of the recycled materials - motivating the circular economy via the financial markets. SMX believes it is the only technology that has tangibly demonstrated a full transparent circularity successfully. 18 Proprietary to Security Matters, and protected under Federal US, AU and EU IP laws and regulations, as are any results (physical or intellectual property) of any work done.


To be a leading Impact ESG Investment Market Applications and Appeal SMX’s technology can be applied at a molecular level on solids, liquids or gas at multiple points in the supply chain as a drop in solution. This enables SMX to work strategically in the following segmented markets, across a variety of materials. Segmented Markets Materials Circular Economy / Supply Chain Plastics, Rubber Gold, Diamonds, Timber/Lumber, Cement, Ethical Mining & Raw Minerals Ore & Rare Earths Electronics & Components Electronics & Silicon Wafer Leather, Organic Silk, Organic Cotton, Wool, Fashion & Cosmetics Vegan Leather, Polyester, EVA, TPU, ABX, PET Sustainability & Food Security Wine, Animal Feed, Palm Oil, Seeds SMX’s potential for positive ESG impact is exciting, and its ability to more accurately and transparently measure has been proven. 19 Proprietary to Security Matters, and protected under Federal US, AU and EU IP laws and regulations, as are any results (physical or intellectual property) of any work done.


Enabling Technology to Successfully Transition to a Circular Economy As global businesses faces new and complex challenges relating to carbon neutrality and meeting new governmental and regional regulations and standards, SMX is able to offer players along the value chain access to its marking, tracking, measuring and digital platform technology to transition more successfully to a low-carbon economy. SMX is a key technological tool in enabling brands/companies to: • Use a transparent, measurable, tangible technology that can more accurately identify the origins and material composition of raw materials within the finished consumer product and its packaging, enabling it to re-enter the economy for recycling/reuse. • Be better positioned to create a leading industry standard relating to carbon neutrality, ethics and the ability to meet new government regulations and standards. • Adopt a transparent value chain stakeholder compliance approach. 20 Proprietary to Security Matters, and protected under Federal US, AU and EU IP laws and regulations, as are any results (physical or intellectual property) of any work done.
