SMX Ltd. and Ybyrá Capital Inch Closer to Finalizing Transformative Partnership
The non-binding Heads of Agreement outlines the roadmap for due diligence, regulatory compliance, and shareholder approvals. SMX emphasized its commitment to ensuring transparency throughout the process, working closely with Ybyrá to align the transaction with U.S., Brazilian, and Nasdaq regulatory standards. An independent third-party analysis is underway to validate Ybyrá's assets, which exceed $1 billion in value. This assessment will serve as a cornerstone for structuring the final transaction to maximize shareholder returns.
MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / January 27, 2025 / SMX Ltd. (NASDAQ:SMX), a pioneer in digitizing physical objects for a circular economy, provides an update on its proposed business combination with Ybyrá Capital S.A. In a 6-K filing on January 23, 2025, SMX reaffirms the progress made since the December 2024 Heads of Agreement between SMX and Ybyrá, a prominent player in South America's commodities and real estate sectors. This update highlights progress toward finalizing a transformative deal that could significantly expand SMX's footprint in emerging markets.

The planned partnership intends to maximize and leverage company strengths , including combining SMX's ability to integrate its groundbreaking molecular marking technology with Ybyrá's extensive infrastructure, including port operations and fertilizer holdings, to address global challenges in sustainability and traceability. By doing so, the collaboration intends to unlock new revenue streams, particularly in Brazil's commodity exports, which include soybeans, coffee, beef, and more.
While the timeline for deal completion remains subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals, the 6-K filing signals significant progress. SMX notes that both companies remain committed to turning this agreement into a milestone for sustainable trade and supply chain accountability. A final agreement, including provisions discussed among the negotiating parties, has the potential to set new standards for value creation and operational excellence in global trade, positioning both companies-and Brazil-for a stronger, more sustainable future.
While no assurances can be made as to the actual closing date of the transaction, assuming that both companies satisfy all customary and specific closing conditions, signatures from authorized company designees are expected to occur during the first half of 2025.
