Brera Holdings (SLMT) has presented shareholders with a comprehensive corporate transformation proposal. The Nasdaq-traded entity seeks authorization to adopt the name Solmate Infrastructure PLC while establishing a strategic presence in the Solana blockchain sector from its Abu Dhabi headquarters.
On Tuesday, the board greenlit these initiatives, which encompass a 10-for-1 reverse stock consolidation. This restructuring would combine every ten Class A or Class B shares into a single share, elevating the nominal value from $0.05 to $0.50 per share.
Fractional shares won’t be distributed following the consolidation. The SLMT ticker symbol will remain unchanged on Nasdaq once the reverse split becomes operational.
Shareholders will cast their votes on April 7, 2026. Even with shareholder endorsement, the board maintains authority to abandon the reverse split.
The consolidation will preserve shareholders’ proportional ownership stakes in the enterprise, except for negligible variations resulting from fractional share adjustments.
Football Operations Face Phase-Out
The transition away from sports investments is gaining momentum. Brera intends to dissolve two football clubs — Brera Tchumene and Brera IIch — while maintaining ownership of Italian Serie B side Juve Stabia.
Capital released from these discontinued sports ventures will finance Solana infrastructure development throughout the UAE region.
The shift from sports to blockchain commenced in September 2025 when the firm secured $300 million through an oversubscribed private investment in public equity (PIPE) round. Prominent investors included the Solana Foundation, ARK Invest, RockawayX, and UAE-headquartered Pulsar Group.
By November 2025, Solmate deployed what it described as the UAE’s inaugural bare-metal Solana validator, providing commission-free SOL staking services to both institutional partners and retail participants.
Merger Abandoned While Partnership Continues
Earlier in 2025, the organization terminated its proposed merger agreement with RockawayX. Management attributed the decision to “significantly changed market conditions.” Nevertheless, both entities confirmed their intention to maintain their strategic collaboration.
Solmate CEO Marco Santori highlighted Abu Dhabi’s strategic importance for 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 firm additionally appointed Erez Simha as an independent board member and Audit Committee chairman. Avram Grant joined as Head of Football Operations to oversee the company’s remaining soccer investments.
Shares finished Tuesday’s session down 5.17%. The stock has surrendered more than 82% of its value over the preceding six months, currently trading at $1.10 compared to a 52-week peak of $52.95. The company’s market capitalization presently stands at $95 million.
