Brera Holdings (SLMT) is seeking shareholder approval for a comprehensive corporate transformation. The Nasdaq-listed entity aims to adopt the name Solmate Infrastructure PLC and establish a primary focus on the Solana blockchain ecosystem, operating out of Abu Dhabi.
Brera Holdings PLC, SLMT
On Tuesday, the board sanctioned the proposals, which include a 10-for-1 reverse stock split. Under this arrangement, every 10 Class A or Class B shares will be consolidated into a single share, increasing the nominal value from $0.05 to $0.50.
Fractional shares will not be distributed. The company will continue to trade under the SLMT ticker on the Nasdaq following the implementation of the split.
The vote for shareholders is slated for April 7, 2026. The board reserves the authority to cancel the reverse split even if it receives shareholder approval.
The reverse split will not alter the proportional ownership stake of shareholders, excluding minor adjustments related to fractional rounding.
Sports Assets Being Wound Down
The transition away from the sports industry is gaining momentum. Brera intends to phase out two of its soccer teams—Brera Tchumene and Brera IIch—while retaining the Italian club Juve Stabia.
Capital generated from these discontinued operations will be directed toward the development of Solana infrastructure in the UAE.
The company’s shift from sports to blockchain began in September 2025, following a $300 million oversubscribed PIPE financing round. Investors included the Solana Foundation, ARK Invest, RockawayX, and the UAE-based Pulsar Group.
In November 2025, Solmate introduced what it described as the first bare-metal Solana validator in the UAE, providing zero-commission SOL staking for the public and partners.
Merger Scrapped, Partnership Stays
Earlier this year, the firm terminated its proposed merger with RockawayX, citing significant shifts in market conditions. Nevertheless, both organizations confirmed that their strategic partnership remains in effect.
Solmate CEO Marco Santori highlighted Abu Dhabi as a primary driver for the transition. He stated that by concentrating capital and corporate identity on Solana, the company is positioning itself to become a major participant in the region’s growing digital economy.
Additionally, the company appointed Erez Simha as an independent director and chair of the Audit Committee, while Avram Grant was named Head of Football Operations to oversee the remaining sports assets.
The stock concluded Tuesday’s session down 5.17%. It has depreciated by over 82% during the last six months, currently trading at $1.10 compared to a 52-week peak of $52.95. The company’s market capitalization is presently $95 million.
