The latest announcement is out from SMX Public Limited Company ( (SMX) ).
In May 2026, SMX (Security Matters) Public Limited Company further amended its 2022 Incentive Equity Plan, increasing the number of authorized ordinary shares under the plan from about 237,730 to 696,105. Relying on home country corporate governance exemptions available to foreign private issuers under Nasdaq rules, the company approved this amendment without seeking stockholder approval.
Following the amendment, SMX granted a total of 458,375 restricted stock units to executive officers, directors, and selected consultants, employees and advisors, with 75% vesting immediately and the remaining 25% scheduled to vest on December 1, 2026. The expanded equity awards underscore SMX’s use of stock-based compensation to incentivize leadership and key personnel, which may lead to increased dilution for existing shareholders but is intended to align management incentives with long-term corporate performance.
