- A 10-for-1 reverse stock split received board approval, awaiting shareholder decision scheduled for April 7, 2026

Brera Holdings (SLMT) has presented shareholders with a comprehensive corporate transformation plan. The Nasdaq-traded entity seeks authorization to adopt the name Solmate Infrastructure PLC and establish itself as a major player in the Solana blockchain sector, operating from Abu Dhabi.
The board greenlighted these initiatives on Tuesday, incorporating a 10-for-1 reverse stock split among the changes. This consolidation mechanism will merge every 10 Class A or Class B shares into a single share, elevating the nominal value from $0.05 to $0.50.
Fractional shares will receive cash settlements instead of share issuance. Trading will continue under the SLMT ticker symbol on Nasdaq following the split’s implementation.
Shareholders will cast their votes on April 7, 2026. Board members maintain authority to abandon the reverse split regardless of shareholder approval.
The consolidation preserves each shareholder’s proportional ownership stake, with minimal variations resulting from fractional share adjustments.
Soccer Operations Face Discontinuation
The transition away from sports investments gains momentum. Brera intends to discontinue operations for two soccer franchises — Brera Tchumene and Brera IIch — while maintaining ownership of Italian football club Juve Stabia.
Capital recovered from these shuttered operations will finance Solana infrastructure development throughout the UAE.
The sports-to-blockchain transformation began in September 2025, when the company secured $300 million through an oversubscribed PIPE financing round. Investment partners included the Solana Foundation, ARK Invest, RockawayX, and UAE-based Pulsar Group.
November 2025 marked Solmate’s debut of what the company described as the UAE’s inaugural bare-metal Solana validator, providing zero-commission SOL staking services to partners and public users.
RockawayX Merger Terminated, Alliance Continues
The company withdrew from its proposed merger with RockawayX earlier this year. Management attributed the decision to “significantly changed market conditions” as the primary factor. Both organizations confirmed their intention to maintain their strategic alliance.
Solmate CEO 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 organization also appointed Erez Simha to serve as an independent director and Audit Committee chair. Avram Grant received appointment as Head of Football Operations to oversee continuing sports holdings.
Shares concluded Tuesday’s session down 5.17%. The stock has surrendered over 82% of its value during the preceding six months, settling at $1.10 compared to a 52-week peak of $52.95. Current market capitalization stands at $95 million.
