Brera Holdings (SLMT) has submitted proposals for shareholder consideration that would fundamentally transform the company’s identity and strategic direction. The Nasdaq-traded entity is pursuing authorization to adopt the name Solmate Infrastructure PLC while establishing operations centered on Solana blockchain technology from its Abu Dhabi headquarters.
Company directors greenlit these proposals Tuesday, which encompass a 10-for-1 reverse stock split alongside the rebranding initiative. The consolidation mechanism would combine every ten Class A or Class B shares into a single share, simultaneously increasing the nominal value from $0.05 to $0.50 per share.
Fractional shares won’t be distributed under this arrangement. Following implementation, the equity will maintain its SLMT ticker symbol on the Nasdaq exchange.
Shareholders will cast their votes on April 7, 2026. Company leadership maintains authority to abandon the reverse split proposal even following shareholder authorization.
The consolidation won’t alter proportional ownership stakes for existing shareholders, except for minimal adjustments resulting from fractional share rounding.
Athletic Division Faces Restructuring
The transition away from sporting investments continues gaining momentum. Brera intends to discontinue operations for two football clubs — Brera Tchumene and Brera IIch — while maintaining ownership of Italian Serie B side Juve Stabia.
Capital released through these operational closures will fund Solana infrastructure development throughout the UAE region.
The transformation from sports management to blockchain infrastructure began September 2025, when the organization secured $300 million via an oversubscribed private investment in public equity (PIPE) transaction. Participating investors included the Solana Foundation, ARK Invest, RockawayX, and UAE-headquartered Pulsar Group.
By November 2025, Solmate inaugurated what the company described as the UAE’s inaugural bare-metal Solana validator node, providing zero-fee SOL staking services to institutional partners and retail participants.
Acquisition Terminated While Alliance Continues
During early 2026, the organization terminated its proposed combination with RockawayX. Management attributed the decision to “significantly changed market conditions.” Nevertheless, both entities confirmed their intention to preserve their strategic collaboration.
Solmate Chief Executive Marco Santori highlighted Abu Dhabi’s strategic importance for the transition. “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 firm additionally appointed Erez Simha as an independent board member and Audit Committee chairman. Avram Grant received designation as Head of Football Operations to oversee remaining athletic properties.
Shares concluded Tuesday’s session down 5.17%. The stock has surrendered more than 82% of its value during the preceding six months, settling at $1.10 compared to its 52-week peak of $52.95. Current market capitalization stands at $95 million.
