Brera Holdings (SLMT) has submitted a comprehensive corporate transformation plan for shareholder consideration. The Nasdaq-traded entity seeks approval to rebrand as Solmate Infrastructure PLC while establishing a strategic foothold in the Solana blockchain sector from its Abu Dhabi headquarters.
Tuesday saw the board of directors approve several key proposals, including a 10-for-1 reverse stock consolidation. The split mechanism would merge every 10 Class A or Class B shares into a single share, simultaneously increasing the nominal value from $0.05 per share to $0.50.
Fractional shares resulting from the consolidation will not be distributed. Following the split’s implementation, the company will maintain its SLMT ticker symbol on the Nasdaq exchange.
Shareholders will cast their votes on April 7, 2026. Board members retain discretionary authority to abandon the reverse split proposal even if shareholders grant approval.
The consolidation structure ensures shareholders maintain proportional ownership stakes, with only minimal variations due to fractional share adjustments.
Athletic Investments Face Discontinuation
The company’s departure from sports investments is gaining momentum. Brera has outlined plans to discontinue operations of Brera Tchumene and Brera IIch soccer clubs, while preserving its ownership stake in Italian football organization Juve Stabia.
Capital recovered from these terminated sports ventures will be channeled into Solana infrastructure development across UAE territories.
The transformation from sports ownership to blockchain technology began in September 2025, when the firm secured $300 million through an oversubscribed private investment in public equity (PIPE) transaction. Key investors included the Solana Foundation, ARK Invest, RockawayX, and UAE-headquartered Pulsar Group.
November 2025 marked Solmate’s debut of what the company described as the UAE’s inaugural bare-metal Solana validator node, providing commission-free SOL staking services to institutional partners and retail participants.
Acquisition Terminated, Alliance Continues
The company abandoned its previously announced merger agreement with RockawayX earlier this year. Management attributed the decision to “significantly changed market conditions.” Both organizations confirmed their intention to preserve existing strategic cooperation arrangements.
Solmate’s Chief Executive Officer Marco Santori highlighted Abu Dhabi’s strategic importance in the company’s evolution. “By focusing our capital and corporate identity on Solana, we are positioning ourselves to be a central player in the region’s rapidly expanding digital economy,” he stated.
The organization has also appointed Erez Simha to serve as an independent board member and chair of the Audit Committee. Avram Grant received appointment as Head of Football Operations, overseeing the company’s remaining sports portfolio.
Shares finished Tuesday’s session down 5.17%. The stock has surrendered more than 82% of its value over the trailing six-month period, currently trading at $1.10 compared to its 52-week peak of $52.95. The firm’s market capitalization presently stands at $95 million.
