Binding Term Sheet Signed for Ongoing Investment and 51.72% Shareholding Alongside Current Majority Owner XX Settembre Holding srl and President Andrea Langella for 117-Year Old Club in Italy’s Third-Largest Metro Area

 

DUBLIN, Ireland and MILAN, Italy, December 9, 2024 at 06:00 Eastern Time (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brera Holdings PLC (“Brera Holdings” or “Brera”) (Nasdaq: BREA), an Ireland-based, Nasdaq-listed, international holding company focused on expanding its global portfolio of men’s and women’s sports clubs through a multi-club ownership (“MCO”) approach, announced today at a press conference in Naples that it has signed a binding term sheet to make a strategic investment in SS Juve Stabia SpA (“Juve Stabia” or “the Club”), a historic Italian Serie B football club celebrating 117 years of tradition.

 

Brera’s investment has been structured to reinforce Juve Stabia’s sporting competitiveness in Serie B and beyond, alongside current majority owner XX Settembre srl (“XX Settembre”) and Club President Andrea Langella. Pending completion of the share purchase agreement and the initial closing of the transaction by December 31, 2024, Brera and XX Settembre have agreed to an approximate 52-48 strategic shareholding over three phases through March 31, 2025. Known as ‘The Second Team of Naples,’ Juve Stabia is a key fixture in Italy’s third-largest metropolitan area, strategically located near the famous historical sites of Pompeii and the picturesque Amalfi Coast, offering a unique blend of sporting and cultural significance in one of Italy’s most renowned regions.

 

“After a thorough analysis and negotiations with leading Serie B clubs, Brera Holdings is extremely proud to invest in Juve Stabia, an important club with an ideal partner in President Andrea Langella,” said Brera Executive Chairman Daniel McClory, Founder and majority shareholder. “Competing in the vibrant Naples metropolitan area, home to 3.5 million people with an unparalleled tradition of top-caliber football, makes Brera’s investment in Juve Stabia especially strategic,” added Mr. McClory.

 

Mr. Langella added, “We welcome Brera’s strategic capital, and the Nasdaq listing of its MCO model are expected to bring Juve Stabia not just additional financial resources and support, but expanded awareness of our brand and team, as well as human capital and player pathways between Brera’s teams on three continents,” said Mr. Langella. “Juve Stabia shares the social impact mission of Brera and will extend their reach into the greater Naples area, starting with Castellammare di Stabia,” he continued.

 

Brera’s SEC filings will contain details of its strategic investment in Juve Stabia, and further updates will be provided on an ongoing basis, starting with the initial closing agreed to take place by December 31, 2024.
