Brera Holdings PLC (NASDAQ: BREA) Announces New Ticker Symbol, ‘SLMT', Reflecting Its Mission and Focus

Crypto infrastructure company reinforces its commitment to Solana stewardship and regional growth from its base in Abu Dhabi Shares will begin trading under the new ticker on October 3, 2025 ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Oct. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brera Holdings PLC (“Brera Holdings,” “Solmate” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BREA), which intends to change its name to Solmate to reflect its focus as a Solana-based crypto infrastructure company, today announced that it will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the new ticker symbol SLMT, effective at the open of trading on October 3, 2025. The Company previously traded under the ticker symbol “BREA”. No action is required from the Company’s current shareholders. “Changing our ticker to SLMT is more than a formality,” said Marco Santori, CEO of Solmate. “Our new identity in the public market underscores Solmate’s role as one of the premier Solana-focused infrastructure companies in the public market today. Our North Star is growing SOL-per-share, and we intend to do this by standing up real, performant hardware where it will be the most impactful. We believe Abu Dhabi, the 'Capital of Capital’ and where our operations are based, enhances our access to capital and is geographically situated at the crossroads of East and West, a natural hub for global digital finance.” Solmate’s Differentiated Model Solmate is building the real infrastructure required for the crypto revolution. Unlike many digital asset treasuries that outsource staking to third-party validators, Solmate is building the infrastructure, including dedicated servers in Abu Dhabi, to directly power Solana’s network. This strategy is designed to generate more Solana per share than peers, while processing transactions faster, more efficiently, and more profitably. Solmate is differentiated through: Leadership: Led by Marco Santori, former Chief Legal Officer of Kraken and President of Blockchain.com, alongside a Board including Dr. Arthur Laffer, and Viktor Fischer of RockawayX.Partnerships: Backed by a $300 million oversubscribed PIPE sponsored by Pulsar Group with participation from the Solana Foundation, RockawayX and ARK Invest. Regional Advantage: Operating from Abu Dhabi – “the Capital of Capital” – with access to performant, low-cost Solana infrastructure and proximity to sovereign wealth funds and global capital flows. Solana is the fastest growing blockchain in the world, designed to handle hundreds of thousands of transactions per second at the base layer – without the compromises of Ethereum’s L2 ecosystem. With native yield generation, higher developer activity than any other chain, and accelerating adoption across institutional finance, DeFi, NFTs, and AI, we believe Solana represents the most compelling foundation for the next generation of financial infrastructure. Solmate is pioneering the first performant Solana validator in the Middle East. We anticipate this initiative will provide regional investors with a local option to stake SOL, support the UAE’s digital transformation agenda, and position Abu Dhabi as a global hub for the Solana ecosystem. “Abu Dhabi offers a unique and favorable regulatory and capital markets environment for blockchain innovation,” Santori added. “By anchoring our infrastructure here, we’re aligning with the UAE’s long-term vision for becoming a world-class technology and finance hub.” About Brera Holdings PLC Brera Holdings PLC (Nasdaq: BREA) is an Ireland-based international holding company focused on expanding its global portfolio of men's and women's football clubs on three continents through a multi-club ownership ("MCO") strategy, and the first to list on Nasdaq.
