Brera Holdings (SLMT) has submitted a comprehensive transformation proposal to its shareholders. The publicly-traded entity seeks authorization to adopt the name Solmate Infrastructure PLC and concentrate its business operations on Solana blockchain technology development from its Abu Dhabi headquarters.
Company directors greenlit the restructuring plan on Tuesday, which encompasses a 1-for-10 reverse stock consolidation. The consolidation mechanism would merge every ten Class A or Class B ordinary shares into a single share, adjusting the nominal valuation from $0.05 per share to $0.50.
Shareholders won’t receive fractional shares under this arrangement. Following implementation, SLMT will remain the trading symbol on the Nasdaq exchange.
The shareholder referendum is scheduled for April 7, 2026. Directors maintain discretionary authority to abandon the reverse consolidation regardless of shareholder endorsement.
The share consolidation won’t alter investors’ proportional ownership stakes in the enterprise, except for negligible modifications due to fractional share rounding.
Exit Strategy From Sports Industry
The company’s departure from athletic investments is gaining momentum. Brera intends to terminate operations of two soccer organizations — Brera Tchumene and Brera IIch — while maintaining ownership of Italian football team Juve Stabia.
Proceeds generated from shuttering these sports ventures will finance Solana infrastructure expansion throughout the UAE.
The sports-to-cryptocurrency transition began in September 2025, when the enterprise secured $300 million through an oversubscribed private investment in public equity offering. Investment participants included the Solana Foundation, ARK Invest, RockawayX, and UAE-headquartered Pulsar Group.
In November 2025, Solmate introduced what it described as the UAE’s inaugural bare-metal Solana validator infrastructure, providing commission-free SOL staking services for institutional partners and retail participants.
Acquisition Abandoned, Strategic Alliance Continues
Earlier in the year, the organization terminated its proposed combination with RockawayX. Management attributed the decision to “significantly changed market conditions.” Nevertheless, both entities confirmed their continued strategic collaboration.
Solmate’s Chief Executive Marco Santori emphasized Abu Dhabi’s strategic importance in the transformation. “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 also designated Erez Simha as an independent board member and chair of the Audit Committee. Avram Grant received an appointment as Head of Football Operations to oversee remaining athletic properties.
Shares finished Tuesday’s session down 5.17%. The stock has surrendered over 82% of its valuation during the preceding six months, currently trading at $1.10 compared to a 52-week peak of $52.95. The enterprise maintains a market capitalization of approximately $95 million.
