The power law index is -1.28 +/- 0.04 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 452 +/- 56 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (4.9 +/- 0.2)E-06 erg/cm^2.\n\nThe feature of QPO in the tail emission and the spectrum parameters are consistent with the scenario of magnetar giant flare. Follow-up observations are strongly encouraged.\n\nWe note that these results are preliminary. Refined analysis will be reported later.\n\nThe Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA, China), National Center for Space Studies (CNES, France) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS, China), which is dedicated to observing gamma-ray bursts and other transient phenomena in the energetic universe. GRM is developed by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of CAS.\n\nThe SVOM/GRM point of contact for this burst is: Chen-Wei Wang (IHEP) (cwwang@ihep.ac.cn)\n",
