On January 3, 2024, SMX (Security Matters) Public Limited Company (the “Company”) received notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), stating that the Nasdaq staff has approved the Company’s application to transfer the listing of its ordinary shares from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market. The ordinary shares will be transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on January 8, 2024.

The ordinary shares will continue to trade under the symbol “SMX,” and trading of the ordinary shares will be unaffected by the transfer. The Nasdaq Capital Market operates in substantially the same manner as the Nasdaq Global Market.
