Bark Busters Tree Service Announces Enhancements to Core Services Across Tennessee and North Georgia

HARRISON, TN – November 24, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Bark Busters Tree Service, a licensed and insured provider of professional tree care based in Harrison, Tennessee, has announced service improvements designed to strengthen safety, efficiency, and customer communication. The company, already established across Chattanooga, Hamilton County, and neighboring areas of North Georgia, is implementing new protocols and equipment upgrades to ensure that property owners receive the highest standard of care in tree removal, pruning, stump grinding, and emergency response.

The enhancements respond to growing demand for reliable tree service in the region and reflect an ongoing commitment to professionalism. Bark Busters Tree Service has long emphasized safety-first practices rooted in ANSI A300 pruning standards and TCIA guidelines. With these improvements, the company will expand its ability to handle complex removals, streamline emergency response, and ensure that every project concludes with complete cleanup and site protection.

Among the highlighted updates is an expanded use of crane-assisted removals for large or hazardous trees situated near homes, utilities, and commercial buildings. By increasing crane capacity and refining rigging techniques, crews can manage difficult jobs with greater precision. This development is especially important in neighborhoods where storm-damaged trees or aging canopies pose significant risks to property and public safety.

Stump grinding operations have also been enhanced with additional commercial-grade grinders, allowing the company to handle larger volumes of work more quickly. Stumps are now removed well below ground level to prevent regrowth and eliminate hazards. The process continues to include full debris removal, ensuring that properties are left safe and usable.

Tree trimming and pruning services have been refined to focus more closely on species-specific care and long-term tree health. Crews are trained to assess structural integrity and identify risks such as diseased or weakened limbs. Adjusted canopy management techniques will improve airflow and sunlight exposure, supporting healthier landscapes while reducing the likelihood of storm damage.

Emergency tree service has been a cornerstone of Bark Busters Tree Service’s reputation, and recent changes strengthen this offering. The company has expanded its 24/7 response capacity to manage simultaneous calls across multiple communities. Storm documentation, including photos and notes for insurance purposes, has been incorporated into the workflow. Customers facing urgent hazards can now expect not only rapid response but also assistance in navigating claims related to storm damage.

Owner Jimmy Moore explained that the improvements are designed to meet the expectations of residents who rely on dependable service. “Every time we step onto a property, the responsibility goes beyond cutting or removal,” Jimmy Moore said. “It is about protecting families, preserving landscapes, and making sure that people feel confident in the care we provide. By upgrading our services and strengthening our systems, we are ensuring that communities in Tennessee and Georgia continue to receive safe, professional support when it is needed most.”

The company has also made changes to its communication and scheduling systems. Customers now receive clearer written estimates with transparent pricing, eliminating confusion around fees or additional charges. Protective mats are more widely used during crane and rigging operations to safeguard lawns and driveways. Crews are tasked with providing updates during the course of each project, a measure intended to reinforce accountability and trust.

These enhancements come as communities across Tennessee and North Georgia experience seasonal challenges that increase the demand for reliable tree care. Severe storms, heavy winds, and rapid growth cycles have heightened risks for property owners. By improving core services, Bark Busters Tree Service positions itself to manage a higher volume of calls while maintaining safety and quality.

The improvements align with the company’s long-standing emphasis on community trust. As a locally owned and operated business, Bark Busters Tree Service has built its reputation by treating every property with care and respecting the neighborhoods it serves. The decision to reinvest in training, equipment, and systems reflects a continued focus on reliability and local accountability.

Industry observers note that the expansion of crane-assisted removals, combined with improved emergency response, positions the company to handle some of the most demanding jobs in the region. From confined spaces in urban neighborhoods to storm damage in rural areas, the upgraded services provide flexibility and assurance to property owners.

Jimmy Moore added that the changes represent an evolution of the company’s mission rather than a departure from it. “We have always believed that safety and professionalism are the foundation of good tree care. The steps we are taking now build on that foundation, giving our team the tools and structure to serve even more effectively. Our goal is to leave every property safer and every customer more confident than before.”

As Bark Busters Tree Service introduces these enhancements, residents across Chattanooga, Harrison, Hixson, Soddy Daisy, Ooltewah, Apison, and neighboring Georgia towns, including Rossville, Ringgold, and Fort Oglethorpe, can expect continued access to professional tree care delivered with accountability and attention to detail.

Natural Choice Medical Clinic Explains Evidence-Based Menopause Treatment in Elora

GUELPH, ON – November 24, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Natural Choice Medical Clinic is outlining a practical, evidence-based approach to menopause treatment for residents of Elora and surrounding communities. The clinic’s program focuses on thorough assessment, clear education, and personalized treatment plans that combine lifestyle foundations, integrative therapies, bioidentical hormones, and collaborative medical support. The goal is straightforward: translate strong clinical evidence into day-to-day strategies that reduce symptoms, protect long-term health, and fit real life.

Menopause and its transition phase, perimenopause, bring variable symptoms that can include hot flashes and night sweats, sleep disruption, mood and cognitive changes, menstrual irregularity, genitourinary concerns, and shifts in weight or metabolic health. Because presentation differs widely from person to person, Natural Choice Medical Clinic emphasizes careful history taking, review of medications and supplements, cycle and symptom timelines, and targeted testing when results will change decisions. This deliberate process helps distinguish hormone-related changes from look-alikes such as thyroid dysfunction, iron deficiency, or unmanaged sleep disorders, setting a solid foundation before any intervention begins.

Menopause treatment near Elora at the clinic starts with core lifestyle pillars that carry the strongest research signals for symptom relief and long-term benefits. Structured sleep support, graded stress-management techniques, and progressive strength and aerobic training are positioned as first-line tools. Nutrition guidance centers on consistent protein intake, fiber-rich whole foods, and practical meal timing to stabilize energy and support metabolic health. Education is delivered in plain language, with small, staged changes prioritized over drastic overhauls.

For patients who may benefit from hormones, bioidentical hormone therapy is available through a collaborative model. Clinicians review medical history, contraindications, and risk factors, then discuss routes and dosing strategies that align with current guidance, such as transdermal estradiol and oral micronized progesterone when appropriate. Decisions are individualized, balancing symptom relief, patient preferences, and safety considerations, with follow-up visits scheduled to monitor response and adjust therapy. When hormone therapy is not appropriate or not preferred, non-hormonal avenues are explored, including evidence-supported medications through prescribing partners and a range of non-pharmacologic therapies.

Integrative services round out the model. Acupuncture is offered as a supportive modality for vasomotor symptoms, sleep quality, mood, and pain. Pelvic health physiotherapy referrals address incontinence, pelvic pain, and dyspareunia—concerns that often surface or intensify during the menopausal transition. Carefully selected nutraceuticals and botanicals may be recommended when evidence and safety profiles are favorable, with attention to potential interactions and realistic outcome expectations. IV nutrient therapy is available in specific cases where targeted replenishment is indicated, accompanied by clear rationale and follow-up.

Lab testing is used judiciously. Standard blood work can help assess thyroid function, ferritin, vitamin B12, and vitamin D, while metabolic panels and lipid profiles inform cardiovascular and bone-health discussions. Sex-hormone testing is considered case-by-case, with emphasis placed on whether results will influence treatment decisions or monitoring plans. The clinic coordinates testing and shares results in accessible language, linking numbers to next steps so patients understand what actions follow from each result.

Access and continuity of care receive equal attention. Appointments are available in person and through secure virtual visits to accommodate residents of Elora and nearby communities. A clear visit cadence is set at the outset—typically an initial comprehensive assessment, an early follow-up to review progress and lab findings, and subsequent check-ins to fine-tune the plan. Educational resources and after-visit summaries reinforce key recommendations, helping patients implement changes between appointments.

A collaborative framework supports complex cases. The clinic works with primary-care providers, a nurse practitioner, pharmacists, and, when needed, specialists for imaging, prescriptions, and referrals. This team-based approach reduces friction for patients and keeps care aligned across providers. Communication emphasizes shared decision-making, with benefits, risks, and alternatives discussed before therapy is initiated and throughout follow-up.

Quality and safety measures underpin the program. Recommendations align with established clinical guidelines where available, and treatment choices favour the lowest effective doses and the least invasive options that meet goals. Monitoring includes symptom tracking, side-effect screening, and periodic reassessment of risk factors. Documentation stresses clarity, with action-oriented plans that specify what to start, what to stop, and how success will be measured.

Education remains central throughout the process. Menopause literacy improves outcomes, so the clinic prioritizes demystifying common experiences—explaining why sleep can fragment, how fluctuating estrogen influences thermoregulation, and what drives midlife changes in body composition. Understanding fosters realistic expectations and helps patients choose the options most likely to deliver relief for the concerns that matter most.

Natural Choice Medical Clinic’s approach to menopause care in Elora is built for everyday life: practical foundations first, targeted therapies layered in as needed, and consistent follow-up to maintain momentum. The emphasis on evidence, personalization, and collaboration aims to help patients feel better in the near term while supporting bone, brain, and cardiovascular health for the long run. For residents seeking structured, compassionate, and credible guidance, the clinic provides a clear pathway from confusion to a manageable plan—one step, one habit, and one adjustment at a time.

About Natural Choice Medical Clinic:

Natural Choice Medical Clinic is a leading integrative healthcare provider based in Ontario, offering personalized, holistic medical care for individuals and families.

SMX Scores $111.5 Million Equity Purchase Agreement to Advance “Proof” Economy Platform

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / December 1, 2025 / Some announcements matter. Others shift the center of gravity. SMX’s (NASDAQ:SMX) new $111.5 million equity purchase agreement belongs in the second category. It’s not an add-on to an already strong year. It’s the headline development that sets the pace for what comes next. The world is moving toward a Proof Economy, and this agreement gives SMX the capital access, strategic flexibility, and operational runway to build it on a global scale.

The agreement with Target Capital 1, LLC provides up to $111.5 million in potential funding through a structure deliberately built around SMX’s momentum. It begins with a $11.5 million convertible promissory note and extends into an equity line that SMX can draw from entirely at its own discretion. There are no minimum requirements, no penalties for non-use, and no restrictions on how the Company executes its operations.

This is not routine capital. It’s capital designed to accelerate impact.

A Sizable Impact

That impact is already visible across 2025. Singapore launched national plastic circularity programs based on molecular-level identity. Spain and France advanced high-grade recycling and textile authentication. The Middle East pushed gold verification into a new era. The United States engaged with critical minerals, regulated supply chains, and industrial recycling. Individually, these initiatives show progress. Together, they reveal something larger. The world is aligning around a future where materials carry proof embedded in their composition, and where identity is no longer a matter of paperwork but of science.

The equity purchase agreement arrives at the point where traction becomes infrastructure. It gives SMX the financial strength to support multiple partners across multiple regions, all moving toward measurable recovery, authenticated materials, and transparent circularity. It replaces the limitations of traditional financing with optionality, allowing SMX to scale technology deployments in sync with global demand.

The agreement also enables the Company to allocate a portion of net proceeds toward digital reserve assets. This strengthens long-term balance sheet resilience and mirrors the decentralization and data integrity principles at the core of SMX’s technology. It aligns financial durability with operational mission.

A Capstone to a Transformative 2025

But the true significance of this agreement is how it connects to the year SMX just lived. 2025 was not a series of isolated wins. It was the construction of a global platform. Gold verification fortified critical minerals. Plastics passports supported textiles. High-grade recycling programs reinforced industrial circularity. Each partnership amplified the next, confirming that the Proof Economy is not theoretical. It’s emerging country by country, sector by sector, system by system.

The $111.5 million equity purchase agreement ensures SMX can meet that moment. It supports the expansion of national programs, the transition of pilots into commercial systems, and the operational scale required for verification to become embedded across global supply chains.

As the year closes, the message is clear. SMX is not simply participating in the Proof Economy. it’s helping build the architecture that will define it. This agreement is more than access to capital. It’s the catalyst that powers the next global chapter.

About SMX

As global businesses face 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’s $111.5 Million Equity Purchase Agreement Arrived at the Exact Moment the World Needed Proof

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 1, 2025 / The global economy spent the past decade upgrading everything except the one thing it depends on most: verification. Industries digitized. Logistics accelerated. Compliance expanded. But the underlying trust layer never caught up. Too many systems ran on assumptions. Too many certifications depended on paper trails that failed under scrutiny. Too many supply chains were built on declarations instead of evidence.

That tension reached its breaking point in 2025. Gold markets demanded real provenance. Circularity mandates required measurable recovery. Critical minerals needed authentication capable of withstanding geopolitical pressure. Textiles faced compliance standards that could no longer be met with fragmented reporting. Nations across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America began looking for the same missing piece: industrial-scale proof.

This is the context into which SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) secured its $111.5 million equity purchase agreement with Target Capital 1, LLC. The timing was not strategic. It was structural. It aligned the Company’s strongest year of global traction with the capital required to build infrastructure, not incremental projects.

The Details Advance a Powerful Platform

The agreement provides SMX with a $11.5 million convertible promissory note and a discretionary equity line of up to $100 million. There are no minimum drawdowns. No usage penalties. No restrictions on operations. This is capital designed for acceleration, not limitation. It lets SMX build at the speed the world is now asking for.

That speed is visible everywhere. Singapore’s national plastics circularity initiative is rewriting how countries measure recycling performance. Spain and France are proving what authenticated recycled materials can unlock for industrial ecosystems. The Middle East is pushing gold verification to the forefront of global trade. The United States is looking to strengthen regulated supply chains, critical minerals, and circularity systems with measurable, molecular-level data.

These are not standalone efforts. They are interconnected signals of a global shift toward the Proof Economy, where materials carry identity embedded directly into their composition. SMX’s molecular marking technology provides that identity. It gives products, commodities, and recycled inputs a permanent, tamper-resistant signature that moves with them across processing, transformation, and reuse.

Technology and Capital are the Value Drivers

But technology alone doesn’t build global systems. It needs capital that moves the same way the mission does. Flexible. Controlled. Scalable. That is the real power behind the equity purchase agreement.

It allows SMX to scale pilots into national platforms, regional initiatives into global standards, and industry-specific programs into a multi-sector ecosystem. It lets the Company expand into critical minerals without slowing plastics circularity. Advance recycled materials without delaying gold’s transformation. Strengthen verification systems in one region while deploying new frameworks in another.

The Proof Economy needs infrastructure. This agreement gives SMX the ability to build it.

As 2025 draws to a close, the story becomes clear. The world finally knows what it needs. SMX now has the capital structure to deliver it. The equity purchase agreement is not just funding. It is the acceleration point for a global transition already underway.

About SMX

As global businesses face 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.

JM Surety Strengthens Support for Texas DMEPOS Suppliers Amid Rising Statewide Demand for Medical Equipment Providers

November 29, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

JM Surety announced an enhanced focus on Texas DMEPOS bonds as durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supply providers across the state experience rising demand, increased operational activity, and expanding consumer needs. The shift reflects a broader pattern in Texas, where suppliers serving patients at home or in community settings have continued to grow in number, resulting in greater engagement with the financial responsibility requirements that govern their licensing and ongoing operations. As more medical equipment providers seek reliable bonding options to support their compliance obligations, JM Surety has reinforced its capacity to assist these businesses with accessible, clear, and timely bonding support.

Texas has seen steady growth in the durable medical equipment sector as the need for home-based care solutions has continued to expand. Many suppliers entering the market must secure a Texas DMEPOS bond as part of the state’s established regulatory structure, which helps ensure financial accountability and appropriate conduct. Bond requirements exist to safeguard against misconduct or non-compliance, offering an added layer of protection within the healthcare supply ecosystem. As more suppliers seek the ability to operate or renew their existing authorization, interest in dependable bonding services has increased significantly. JM Surety’s updated emphasis on this subset of commercial bonds is designed to match the evolving landscape and to help suppliers understand the function and purpose of a DMEPOS bond as they navigate state-level requirements.

Industry observers have noted that the growth in Texas DMEPOS activity stems partly from increasing reliance on medical devices and supplies used outside traditional clinical environments. Many individuals now depend on home-delivered equipment for mobility, respiratory support, therapeutic use, or routine daily assistance. With more Texans relying on these services, DME suppliers face heightened scrutiny regarding financial integrity and compliance. These trends have led to a noticeable uptick in new businesses seeking bonds and established suppliers requesting additional guidance during renewal periods. JM Surety, based in Dallas, Texas, has responded to this demand by strengthening internal systems that streamline communication and support for bond applicants, aiming to make bonding more accessible to providers who may be navigating this process for the first time.

Several Texas communities have recently experienced severe weather and disaster-related disruptions, which have contributed to increased activity among DMEPOS suppliers. Events that damage or destroy medical equipment often result in sudden spikes in replacement needs, placing additional pressure on suppliers who must operate quickly and responsibly. Bonding requirements remain a foundational component of supplier accountability during times when consumer reliance is high. The relationship between community need and supplier preparedness has underscored the importance of reliable surety bond access. JM Surety’s expanded support seeks to help providers maintain operational continuity while meeting the state’s expectations for bonded suppliers.

The company’s owner, Massimo Schirru, commented on the shift, noting the significance of dependable bonding resources for businesses operating in the medical supply field. “DMEPOS suppliers in Texas play a vital role in ensuring patients have access to essential medical equipment,” Schirru said. “As the sector grows and demand increases, it becomes even more important for suppliers to have straightforward access to the bonds required to remain compliant. JM Surety is committed to supporting suppliers through this process in a way that is clear, reliable, and aligned with state regulations.”

Bond requirements for DMEPOS suppliers serve several purposes, including reinforcing consumer protection and ensuring suppliers meet financial accountability standards. The bond acts as a safeguard in circumstances involving improper conduct or failure to meet contractual or regulatory obligations. While the rules governing these bonds have not undergone dramatic shifts, increased supplier activity in the state has brought renewed attention to the importance of understanding bonding obligations. Many newer businesses may not be familiar with the role of a DMEPOS bond when entering the Texas market, creating a need for more accessible information and clear guidance. JM Surety has concentrated its efforts on making this information easier to access for applicants who rely on concise explanations as they evaluate their requirements.

The strengthening of support for DMEPOS suppliers includes a more streamlined approach to bond-related inquiries, enhanced clarity in application expectations, and improved accessibility to the company’s informational resources. These adjustments were made in response to growing engagement from Texas medical equipment providers who are either seeking to enter the field or expanding their operations. As activity among suppliers continues to rise, the need for reliable surety services becomes increasingly apparent. JM Surety’s response aims to address that need by maintaining consistent communication, ensuring clear documentation standards, and assisting suppliers as they prepare to meet Texas bonding requirements.

In addition to increased demand from new entrants, established suppliers have demonstrated heightened interest in reviewing or updating their bonds as their businesses grow. Operational expansions, diversification of equipment portfolios, or the opening of additional service areas often prompt suppliers to reassess their bonding needs. In these cases, the ability to obtain accurate information and complete the bonding process efficiently becomes crucial to uninterrupted operation. JM Surety’s expanded DMEPOS bond support is positioned to help facilitate this continuity, allowing suppliers to maintain compliance as their internal structures evolve.

The Texas medical equipment market has also experienced rising expectations from consumers, insurers, and healthcare partners regarding supplier reliability. As more individuals rely on home-based care, any disruption in equipment availability or service can create immediate consequences for patient well-being. This environment places additional importance on ensuring that suppliers meet their financial and regulatory obligations. DMEPOS bonds contribute to that stability by holding suppliers accountable, offering reassurance that they are operating within established professional and financial standards. JM Surety’s reinforced approach seeks to align with these expectations by supporting the integrity and dependability required in the medical equipment sector.

As Texas continues to see growth in its population and shifts in how medical care is delivered, the role of DMEPOS suppliers is expected to remain significant. With this growth comes ongoing reliance on the surety bond infrastructure that supports accountability and consumer protection within the industry. JM Surety’s strengthened support reflects recognition of these developments and underscores the company’s ongoing commitment to assisting suppliers as they navigate the state’s bonding landscape.

Businesses seeking guidance on bonding requirements or compliance expectations are encouraged to contact JM Surety for additional details. https://jmsurety.com/texas-dmepos-bonds/

Quad Cities Realtor® Nikki Sailor Launches Enhanced Visibility Strategy as Market Activity Surges Following Rate Cuts

BETTENDORF, Iowa – November 29, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Realtor® Nikki Sailor of Bettendorf is launching an expanded digital presence and service enhancement as Quad Cities housing activity accelerates following recent Federal Reserve rate cuts that have sparked increased buyer interest across the Iowa-Illinois bi-state region.

Operating from her office at 4555 Utica Ridge Road in Bettendorf, Sailor—who holds dual-state licensing in Iowa and Illinois—focuses on new construction, relocations, and residential transactions across communities including Bettendorf, Davenport, Eldridge, and Le Claire. The timing of her visibility initiative aligns with current market momentum, as local mortgage lenders report upticks in both purchase applications and refinancing activity.

“Falling mortgage rates are bringing more buyers into the market just as inventory dynamics shift,” said Nikki Sailor. “Buyers and sellers working across state lines need representation that accounts for different regulations and timelines. The expanded digital presence aims to reach prospects through platforms where property research increasingly begins.”

With more than 15 years of experience and affiliation with RE/MAX Concepts, Sailor has developed knowledge spanning both Iowa and Illinois residential markets. Her digital initiative includes optimization for traditional search engines, AI-powered answer platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity, and generative AI tools including Claude and Google Gemini—channels where prospective buyers and relocating professionals increasingly conduct preliminary research.

The Quad Cities region has emerged as an increasingly attractive market for homebuyers. According to Redfin, Iowa home prices increased 4.2 percent year-over-year in September 2025, while sales volume rose 10.6 percent, indicating sustained demand across the bi-state area. Local lenders including GreenState Credit Union have reported increased application activity following the Federal Reserve’s recent rate cuts, according to reports in the Quad City Times.

Sailor’s dual-state licensing addresses a challenge in the Quad Cities market, where the Mississippi River creates distinct regulatory environments. Iowa and Illinois maintain different disclosure requirements, property tax structures, and closing procedures. This credential allows representation on either side of the river, eliminating potential delays due to licensing limitations.

The visibility strategy differs from traditional real estate marketing by prioritizing placement in AI-generated responses and answer engines rather than relying solely on paid advertising or conventional search engine optimization. As consumer research habits shift toward conversational AI platforms, real estate professionals are adapting their digital presence to ensure visibility where potential clients begin their property searches.

Sailor’s practice includes buyer and seller representation, new construction guidance, relocation coordination, market analysis, and transaction management. As someone focused on new construction, Sailor maintains relationships with local builders and provides guidance on customization options, timelines, and builder contracts. Her builder network includes both national and regional developers active in communities throughout Scott County and Rock Island County.

About Nikki Sailor – Realtor®: Nikki Sailor is a real estate professional licensed in Iowa and Illinois, based in Bettendorf and serving the Iowa-Illinois Quad Cities and surrounding communities. She focuses on new construction, relocation services, and residential real estate transactions. For more information, visit https://nsailor.remax.com/. Affiliated with RE/MAX Concepts, Nikki provides representation across the bi-state region.

SMX Announces $111.5M Equity Purchase Agreement with Target Capital 1, LLC

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 1, 2025 / SMX (Security Matters) PLC (“SMX”), the pioneer of molecular “physical-to-digital” marking for supply-chain transparency, announced today that it has entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Target Capital 1, LLC, to provide an efficient and flexible source of funding, enabling SMX to progress its business development opportunities. In addition, SMX has agreed to use a portion of the net proceeds, after payment of certain fees and expenses, to acquire bitcoin or another cryptocurrency subject to the mutual consent of the parties, which shall serve as a reserve asset for SMX.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the investor will purchase a convertible promissory note from SMX in the principal amount of $11.5 million (with an OID of 20%, for a face value of $14.375 million), and further, SMX has the right to sell and the investor has the obligation to purchase, up to $100 million worth of the Company’s ordinary shares in an equity line of credit. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, SMX, at its sole discretion, will control the timing and amount of all sales of ordinary shares under the equity line, and the investor will control the timing and amount of conversions under the promissory note. The Company is not obligated to utilize any of the $100 million available under the equity line and there are no minimum commitments or minimum use penalties. Neither the equity line nor the promissory note imposes any restrictions on the Company’s operating activities. For the commitment under the equity line, SMX agreed to issue to the investor, ordinary shares or pre-funded warrants equal in value to $2 million (the “Commitment Shares”).

The closing of the transactions is expected to occur on or about December 2, 2025, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

RBW Capital Partners LLC is acting as the exclusive placement agent for the offering.

A copy of the Agreement and the promissory note is available in the Company’s Report on Form 6-K that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The promissory note, the Commitment Shares, and the shares available under the equity line and upon conversion of the promissory note, were offered in a private placement pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and have not been registered under the 1933 Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. SMX has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the Commitment Shares, the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the promissory note, and the ordinary shares issuable under the equity line.

This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these common shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

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 after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include: the ability to maintain the listing of the Company’s shares on Nasdaq; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations, and identify and realize additional opportunities; the risk of downturns and the possibility of rapid change in the highly competitive industry in which SMX operates; the risk that SMX and its current and future collaborators are unable to successfully develop and commercialize SMX’s products or services, or experience significant 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 able to fully and timely meet their obligations; the risk that SMX is unable to secure or protect its intellectual property; the possibility that SMX may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and other risks and uncertainties described in SMX’s filings from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
