This prospectus relates to 1,705,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, nominal value $0.005 per share, or the Class B Ordinary Shares, of Brera Holdings PLC that may be sold from time to time by the selling shareholders named in this prospectus.

We will not receive any proceeds from the sales of outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares by the selling shareholders.

Prior to the offering, there has been no public market for our shares. Our Class B Ordinary Shares have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market tier operated by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, under the symbol “BREA”.

We have two classes of authorized ordinary shares, Class A Ordinary Shares, nominal value $0.005 per share, or the Class A Ordinary Shares, and Class B Ordinary Shares. The rights of the holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. The Class A Ordinary Shares generally vote together with the Class B Ordinary Shares as a group, unless otherwise prohibited by law. Each Class A Ordinary Share is entitled to ten votes and is convertible into one Class B Ordinary Share. Each Class B Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote.

As of the date of this prospectus, our founders, the holders of our outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares, collectively held approximately 97.2% of the voting power of our outstanding share capital and collectively are therefore our controlling shareholders. The holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares are Alessandro Aleotti, our Chief Strategy Officer and a director; Leonardo Aleotti, the adult son of Alessandro Aleotti; Daniel Joseph McClory, our Executive Chairman and a director; Pinehurst Partners LLC, which is controlled by Daniel Joseph McClory; Marco Sala, a former director; and Niteroi Spa, which is controlled by Adrio Maria de Carolis, a former director. Following the initial public offering, taking into consideration the Class B Ordinary Shares expected to be offered therein, even if 100% of such shares are sold, our founders, some of whom are also some of our officers and directors, collectively will retain controlling voting power in the Company based on having approximately 95.4% of all voting rights.

Alessandro Aleotti, Chief Strategy Officer and a director, Daniel Joseph McClory, Executive Chairman and a director, and Adrio Mario de Carolis will directly or indirectly control approximately 31.6%, 28.5% and 31.0% of all voting rights following the initial public offering, respectively, or approximately 31.5%, 28.4% and 30.9% of all voting rights following the initial public offering if the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full, respectively. Therefore, each of these beneficial owners may have controlling voting power following the initial public offering.

Our key officers, directors and director nominees collectively will beneficially own approximately 46.9% of our outstanding share capital following the initial public offering, or approximately 46.0% if the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full. In addition, our key officers, directors and director nominees collectively will have approximately 60.7% of voting power in the Company following the initial public offering, or approximately 60.5% if the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full. As a result, they will have controlling voting power and the ability to approve all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval.

As a result, we will be a “controlled company” under Nasdaq’s rules, and, as such, may elect to avail ourselves of the corporate governance exemptions afforded to a “controlled company” under the rules of Nasdaq, although we do not intend to do so. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to This Offering and Ownership of Our Class B Ordinary Shares—As a ‘controlled company’ under the rules of Nasdaq, we may choose to exempt our company from certain corporate governance requirements that could have an adverse effect on our public shareholders.” for more information.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and future filings. See “Prospectus Summary—Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company.”

We are a “foreign private issuer” as defined under the U.S. federal securities laws and, as such, may elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this and future filings. See “Prospectus Summary—Implications of Being a Foreign Private Issuer.”

The selling shareholders may offer and sell the Class B Ordinary Shares being offered by this prospectus from time to time in public or private transactions, or both. These sales will occur at a fixed price of $5.00 per share until our Class B Ordinary Shares are listed on Nasdaq. Thereafter, these sales will occur at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. The selling shareholders may sell shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders, the purchasers of the shares, or both. Any participating broker-dealers and any selling shareholders who are affiliates of broker-dealers may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any commissions or discounts given to any such broker-dealer or affiliates of a broker-dealer may be regarded as underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The selling shareholders have informed us that they do not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute their Class B Ordinary Shares. See “Plan of Distribution” for a more complete description of the ways in which the shares may be sold.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before buying any shares, you should carefully read the discussion of the material risks of investing in our securities under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 13 of this prospectus.

Our Company

Overview

Brera Holdings PLC is an Irish holding company focused on expanding social impact football by developing a global portfolio of emerging football clubs with increased opportunities to earn tournament prizes, gain sponsorships, and provide other professional football and related consulting services. We seek to build on the legacy and brand of Brera FC, the first football club that we acquired in July 2022. Brera FC is an amateur football association which has been building an alternative football legacy since its founding in 2000. We are focused on bottom-up value creation from sports clubs and talent outside mainstream markets, innovation-powered business growth, and socially-impactful outcomes.

Football is one of the most popular spectator sports on Earth, with a global market valued at $1.8 billion in 2019, projected to reach $3.8 billion by 2027, with Europe currently being the largest market (“Global football market by type, manufacturing process and distribution channel: global opportunity analysis and industry forecast, 2021–2027,” May 2021). We believe that the leaders in the football industry, as with all enterprises, must demonstrate an awareness of social issues. We believe that teams that do not demonstrate such awareness will not succeed, and that the European football industry is signaling a need for socially-impactful ways to expand access to capital and revenues.

With this in mind, we organized, promoted and participated in the FENIX Trophy, our newly formed non-professional pan-European football tournament recognized by UEFA. As noted above, FENIX is an acronym for “Friendly European Non-professional Innovative Xenial”. The FENIX Trophy was intended to allow Brera FC to connect with the local community, increase our fanbase, and develop important relationships with other European football clubs. We believe that discussions about the FENIX Trophy spread awareness of these tenets of social impact football. We also believe that the competition’s meaning goes beyond the game itself. It is an immersive experience meant to highlight the best practices within non-professional football: sportsmanship, bonds with the local community, sustainability, use of technology, and friendship among clubs. We therefore believe the FENIX Trophy will significantly support our social-impact football value proposition. The FENIX Trophy was inaugurated in 2021 and had its first tournament from September 2021 to June 2022. We believe that the initial competition met or exceeded our expectations of its value for our social-impact football brand. The tournament was a public relations success – the Final Eight of the FENIX Trophy tournament, which took place in Rimini, Italy in June 2022, enjoyed extensive national (SKY Sports TV) and international (ZDF) media coverage. We intend to capitalize on this success and include even more amateur clubs in the FENIX Trophy’s 2022-2023 tournament.

We also expect that social awareness and impact will become a growing public focus due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup. As such, while the “transfer market,” in which teams can transfer players and managers in exchange for significant compensation both to the transferring teams and the transferred individuals, is expected to continue, we believe that it must ultimately be part of a vision of football that includes a bottom-up nurturing of players, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds or communities, such as those historically and currently competing for Brera FC. We intend to be a leader in guiding the industry toward a more inclusive approach to professional football, through the use of unconventional routes and undiscovered markets with the aim to unleash their full potential.

To that end, we are developing our “Global Football Group” portfolio of professional football clubs. Our Global Football Group will be modeled on the collaborative, brand-aligned holding company structure of Manchester, England-based City Football Group Limited. Under our Global Football Group structure, we intend to acquire top-division football teams in Africa, South America, Eastern Europe, and potentially other emerging markets, and give them access to the global transfer market. We likewise expect that acquisitions of Eastern European and other non-mainstream market teams will enable us to compete and potentially win significant revenue in UEFA and potentially other regional competitions. We believe that Brera FC’s brand of social impact football and our Global Football Group portfolio of local football club favorites will also allow us to gain increasing sponsorship revenue. We intend to expand on our noncompetitive children’s football school offerings, which we expect will generate significant revenue as well as enhance our social impact football brand and related value. Based on these and other innovative initiatives, we expect that our experience with innovative capital-raising and revenue-generating activities will draw further revenue in the form of consulting opportunities from football clubs, associations, investors and others.

Our Historical Performance

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We had minimal cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our net cash was approximately €19,165 and €26,957, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the year ended December 31, 2021, our net loss was approximately €95,835, €26,419, and €87,056, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020, our net profit was approximately €2,508. We estimate that we will be able to conduct our planned operations using currently available capital resources for at least the next twelve months. However, in order to meet our growth expectations, we will need to raise funds beyond our current working capital balance in order to finance future development of services and acquisitions and meet any debt obligations until such time as future profitable revenues are achieved. We will seek to fund our operations through public offerings, including the initial public offering, private equity offerings, debt financings, and government or other third-party funding. However, the Company may not be able to raise adequate funds for capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements from capital markets on acceptable terms, or at all. Advances from an officer or shareholder may likewise be unavailable. The Company’s failure to raise capital as and when needed and generate significantly higher revenues than operating expenses to achieve profitability would impact its going concern status and would have a negative impact on its financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategy and continue as a going concern. For further discussion, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Going Concern”.

Our Market Opportunity and Business Model

Building on the Brera FC brand and existing network of business relationships, we will utilize Brera Milano’s more than ten years of know-how in communications, marketing, and consulting capabilities, to deliver effective, monetizable projects. We expect to leverage our knowledge in talent training in the following markets:

●

Market for Football Competition Prizes. In the European countries in which we intend to operate, we intend to pursue the UEFA competitions market with at least three top-division teams. There are three UEFA competitions: The Champions League, or the CL, the Europa League, or the EL, and the Europa Conference League, or the Conference. A base participation prize is awarded to each of the 32 clubs that are admitted to the “group stage” of each UEFA competition. For the 2021-2022 season, the base participation prize for each club was €15.64 million for the CL, €3.63 million for the EL and €2.94 million for the Conference. Each competition has different rules for how a club may take one of the 32 places in the competition’s group stage, but generally they are admitted either automatically based on UEFA’s access criteria or gain admission through qualifiers. For the CL, 26 clubs are automatically admitted to the group stage based on UEFA’s criteria, and the remaining six places are divided between clubs that qualify by being league champions or by finishing second to fourth in their national championship. For the EL, 12 clubs are automatically admitted based on UEFA’s criteria, 10 are admitted by transfer from the CL by losing either of the CL’s play-off or third qualifying rounds, and 10 are winners of the EL play-off round. For the Conference, 10 are admitted after losing the EL play-off round, and 22 are admitted after winning the Conference play-off round. Clubs from smaller European countries, including the Eastern European countries where we are exploring club acquisition opportunities as discussed below, generally cannot gain automatic admission to the CL or EL due to the effect of certain coefficients that the UEFA uses to form the automatic access lists for these competitions, but they can potentially reach the group stage through the CL, EL or Conference qualifiers. In addition, participants in certain competition qualifiers can also receive participation prizes without reaching a competition’s group stage, ranging from €150,000 in case of elimination in the first round of the Conference qualifiers, up to €5 million in the event of elimination in the last round of the CL play-off round. These prizes can generate high profit margins, especially for those clubs with lower operating costs which we are targeting for acquisition. In African, South American, or other non-European markets in which we expect to acquire clubs, we likewise expect that our anticipated clubs will compete for substantial competition prizes.

●

Global Transfer Market. Each professional club we may own or manage as part of our Global Football Group is expected to provide us with professional players, and we may negotiate advantageous fees for such players’ transfers to other clubs. We believe that we can take advantage of player demographics and geographic locations that have not previously been fully utilized in the global transfer market. In particular, we believe that the markets for younger players, particularly from Eastern Europe, Africa and South America, are underutilized, and we plan to access, and provide access to other clubs to these potentially important transfer market resources. In all these regions, we believe that we can capitalize on their lower levels of football league development and less-well-resourced local competition in accessing and developing significant football talent that would otherwise not realize its full potential. For example, South American players, who do not have dual citizenship with a European country, represent a particularly large percentage of the football population in South America and only very few are involved in transfers, leaving a significant amount of talent unrealized. We likewise see substantial potential from some of the clubs in these regions due to existing local and global fanbases, iconic local stadia, and other attributes. Our goal is to build a valuable niche through participation in international tournaments and major showcases for the 17-19 age bracket. This opportunity will require our acquisition model to be flexible in order to comply with applicable local immigration laws and regulations. See “Business – Laws and Regulations”.

●

Sponsorships. By seeking to own or manage clubs in different countries and continents in our Global Football Group, we believe we will be able to attract more companies and organizations as partners/sponsors for international communication campaigns. We believe that the marketability of Brera FC’s social impact football brand will have great sponsorship potential, based on a business model that combines the anticipated lower operational costs of football clubs that we would potentially own or manage in countries with lower costs of goods and services in general, which may allow us to provide more competitive terms for sponsors with limited sponsorship budgets, even those of large international commercial brands. We expect that the social impact aspects of our teams and FENIX Trophy tournament may appeal to sponsors whose brands or management are seeking to promote their social impact-related goals. In addition, by pooling more clubs under one brand or management structure, we believe that we may be able to offer the benefit of greater economies of scale for potential sponsors, as demonstrated by the creation of global football brands such as City Football Group Limited. On August 16, 2022, we entered into a sponsorship agreement with Fudbalski Klub Akademija Pandev, or Akademija Pandev, for their use of the Brera trademarks during the 2022-23 football season.

●

Football School Services. Parents and children are seeking constructive, noncompetitive sports and social engagement for children with one other and adult figures and role models like coaches and parents to emphasize the cooperative and fun aspects of football. Our football school has grown over the years, and now engages over 350 children at our two school locations in Italy: Arena Civica and Brera Football Village. We believe that as one of our most appreciated enterprises at the local community level, as well as an important source of revenue, there is significant demand for this service.

●

Consulting. We believe that football clubs, associations, investors, and others are seeking innovative ways to enhance access to capital and revenue opportunities for football clubs. Our social impact football experience provides a basis for us to provide consulting services to assist them with these needs. Part of the unique consultancy support we expect to offer is to assist companies with products and services related to the concept of “italicity”. This concept, coined by Piero Bassetti, a Milan-based intellectual and author of several books, refers to a sense of belonging to the Italian culture regardless of citizenship status, through a perceived affinity with Italian traditions, fashions, lifestyles, arts, cuisines, or other aspects of Italian culture. Mr. Bassetti is expected to be an important partner on Brera Holdings’ consultancy projects.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that the following competitive strengths contribute to our success and differentiate us from our competitors:

●

Strong brand recognition. Since our founding in 2000, we have gained significant brand recognition in Italy but particularly in the Milan metropolitan area and the Lombardy region. The Brera FC registered trademark, “Brera Football Club,” which we own and license to Brera FC, has achieved widespread recognition, as confirmed by opinion polls that we commissioned. Based on these polling results, Brera FC is clearly recognized as “the third team of Milan,” and also as a sports brand particularly attentive to social initiatives. The relevance of the brand is not only local or national, but also global, as indicated by the high number of international followers on social media, such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter, and substantial foreign press coverage.

●

Substantial international relationships. Brera FC has strong international relationships, due to its long history of international player rosters and “cult club” status, with many fans outside Italy, and its ability to start football projects on an international level. For example, our first team in the 2003/2004 and 2006/2007 seasons included Italo-Argentine players; we participated in the Viareggio Tournament with a team which included young Gabonese football players; our practice of twinning with similar clubs outside Italy, such as the Brooklyn Italians in the United States; and the organization of the FENIX Trophy, the first European tournament recognized by UEFA for cult amateur clubs. We intend to build on this experience by acquiring top-division football teams across a number of emerging geographic regions with equally emerging football talent, helping them grow like Brera FC, and deriving the related and potentially substantial revenue opportunities.

●

Solid record of social impact programs. Brera FC has carried out many projects that have used football as a tool for social impact. Some of the most significant projects have been the creation of the MilanoMondo football team from 2000 to 2003 which included immigrants residing in Milan; the FreeOpera Brera squad from 2003 to 2005, which was the first football team set up inside a prison to participate in an official FIGC championship; the management of the European football team of the Roma and Sinti ethnic group, which participated in competitions organized by CONIFA, from 2015 to 2018; and, in the last five years, managing players with asylum seeker status, which has been the subject of a research project carried out by the Department of Psychology of the Catholic University of Milan. On October 7, 2022, the Internet Marketing Association at its IMPACT 22 Conference named Brera FC as its award recipient for “Social Impact Through Soccer,” recognizing the Company’s focus at an international level with this distinction.

Our Growth Strategies

The key elements of our strategy to expand our business include the following:

●

Focus on long-term fans, supporters, and sponsors. We intend to focus on retaining and strengthening our long-term fans, supporters, and sponsors, building on these existing ongoing strategic relationships. Our fans and followers have demonstrated substantial brand loyalty in Milan, based on a recent survey. We have approximately 10,000 followers and over 300,000 unique social media views on our social network platforms, and significant international brand recognition is reflected by press coverage. We believe that these attributes will be attractive to many sponsors seeking to target these audiences with a social impact message. We will aim to enhance all of these attributes in order to seek rapid business growth.

●

Expansion of fanbase through local marketing, social media and social-impact initiatives. We intend to capitalize on Brera FC’s reputation as a socially-impactful sports team. We will enhance our public relations efforts in the Milan area, aimed at increasing our community of fans and our followers on social networks, with a viral marketing strategy that will showcase our brand’s unique persona in an entertaining and engaging way. Our startup incubator will seek to sustain and expand acquired fanbases through appropriate brand-alignment. We will also continue and expand on our popular line of social impact football projects, headed by our noncompetitive football schools, as well as other special projects. For example, we recently offered occupational training services to inmates at Milan prison facilities through participation in courses recognized by the Italian Football Federation to expand opportunities for earning a federal referee license. We also intend to develop a women’s football section in every country in which we acquire a club.

●

International expansion. We intend to simultaneously pursue international expansion and licensing of the Brera FC brand, in Eastern Europe, Africa, and South America, through the potential acquisition and, where appropriate, renaming of football teams with the objective of enhancing the players on these teams to place them on the professional transfer market and obtain prizes related to participation rights in UEFA or other competitions. In North Macedonia, we have begun negotiations to acquire a Serie A-equivalent club; in Mozambique, we are in discussions to acquire a Serie A-equivalent club, sports venue and a housing facility for staff and players; and in Buenos Aires, we are in discussions to acquire a five-year management contract for an Argentinean Serie C-equivalent club. The choice of countries derives from an in-depth analysis of the football, regulatory and economic parameters that are key to our business model.

Our Risks and Challenges

Our prospects should be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by similar companies. Our ability to realize our business objectives and execute our strategies is subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, the following:

●

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern in its report.

●

Our business is substantially dependent on the popularity and/or competitive success of our acquired teams, which cannot be assured.

●

We had a concentration of credit risk because we derived our revenue from a limited number of customers.

●

We source our materials from a limited number of suppliers. If we lose one or more of the suppliers, our operation may be disrupted, and our results of operations may be adversely and materially impacted.

●

If we are unable to maintain and enhance our brand and reputation, or if events occur that damage our brand and reputation, our ability to expand our fanbase, sponsors, and commercial partners or to sell significant quantities of our services may be impaired.

●

Our business is dependent upon our ability to attract players and staff, including management, recruiters, and coaches for our acquired clubs.

●

Injuries to, and illness of, players in our acquired clubs could hinder our success.

●

We may pursue acquisitions and other strategic transactions to complement or expand our business that may not be successful.

●

If we fail to properly manage our anticipated growth, our business could suffer.

●

If we are unable to maintain, train and build an effective international sales and marketing infrastructure, we will not be able to commercialize and grow our brand successfully.

●

It may not be possible to renew or replace key commercial and sponsorship agreements on similar or better terms or attract new sponsors.

●

An economic downturn and adverse economic conditions may harm our business.

●

There could be a decline in the popularity of football.

●

Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations and our operating results and cash flow can vary substantially from period to period.

●

We operate in a highly competitive market and there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully.

●

Our digital media strategy may not generate the revenue we anticipate.

●

Our operations and operating results have been, and may continue to be, materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and government and league actions taken in response.

●

Our management team has limited experience managing a public company.

●

Changes to taxation or the interpretation or application of tax laws could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, we face other risks and uncertainties that may materially affect our business prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. You should consider the risks discussed in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus before investing in our ordinary shares.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

Upon the completion of the initial public offering, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Act of 2012, as amended, or the JOBS Act. As a result, we will be permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of at least $1.235 billion; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of the initial public offering; (iii) the date on which we have, during the preceding three year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which could occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. Once we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will not be entitled to the exemptions provided in the JOBS Act discussed above.

Implications of Being a Foreign Private Issuer

Once the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, we will become subject to the information reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to “foreign private issuers,” and under those requirements we will file certain reports with the SEC. As a foreign private issuer, we will not be subject to the same requirements that are imposed upon U.S. domestic issuers by the SEC. Under the Exchange Act, we will be subject to reporting obligations that, in certain respects, are less detailed and less frequent than those of U.S. domestic reporting companies. For example, although we report our financial results on a quarterly basis, we will not be required to issue quarterly reports, proxy statements that comply with the requirements applicable to U.S. domestic reporting companies, or individual executive compensation information that is as detailed as that required of U.S. domestic reporting companies. We also will have four months after the end of each fiscal year to file our annual reports with the SEC and we will not be required to file current reports as frequently or promptly as U.S. domestic reporting companies. We also present our financial statements pursuant to International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, instead of pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Furthermore, our officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the requirements to report transactions in our equity securities and from the short-swing profit liability provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. As a foreign private issuer, we will also not be subject to the requirements of Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure) promulgated under the Exchange Act. In addition, as a foreign private issuer, we will be permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of those otherwise required under the listing rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, or Nasdaq, for domestic U.S. issuers. We may take advantage of these home country exemptions, including the following:

●

Exemption from filing quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, from filing proxy solicitation materials on Schedule 14A or 14C in connection with annual or special meetings of shareholders, from providing current reports on Form 8-K disclosing significant events within four days of their occurrence, and from the disclosure requirements of Regulation FD.

●

Exemption from Section 16 rules regarding sales of ordinary shares by insiders, which will provide less data in this regard than shareholders of U.S. companies that are subject to the Exchange Act.

●

Exemption from the Nasdaq rules applicable to domestic issuers requiring disclosure within four business days of any determination to grant a waiver of the code of business conduct and ethics to directors and officers. Although we will require director approval of any such waiver, we may choose not to disclose the waiver in the manner set forth in the Nasdaq rules, as permitted by the foreign private issuer exemption.

●

Exemption from the requirement that our board of directors have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities.

●

Exemption from the requirements that director nominees are selected, or recommended for selection by our board of directors, either by (i) independent directors constituting a majority of our board of directors’ independent directors in a vote in which only independent directors participate, or (ii) a committee comprised solely of independent directors, and that a formal written charter or board resolution, as applicable, addressing the nominations process is adopted.

See “Management – Foreign Private Issuer Exemption” for more information. These exemptions and leniencies will reduce the frequency and scope of information and protections available to you in comparison to those applicable to a U.S. domestic reporting companies.

Dual Class Structure

Under our constitution, we are authorized to issue two classes of ordinary shares, Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, and any number of classes of preferred shares. Class A Ordinary Shares are entitled to ten votes per share on proposals requiring or requesting shareholder approval, unless prohibited by law, and Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote on any such matter. Class A Ordinary Shares are convertible to Class B Ordinary Shares as follows: (i) at the option of the holder of Class A Ordinary Shares without the payment of additional consideration or (ii) automatically upon the transfer of Class A Ordinary Shares, except that the transfer of Class A Ordinary Shares to another holder of Class A Ordinary Shares will not result in such automatic conversion. Class B Ordinary Shares are not convertible. Other than as to voting and conversion rights, Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares have the same rights and preferences and rank equally.

In the initial public offering, we are offering Class B Ordinary Shares. Our founders, some of whom are also some of our officers and directors, own 7,700,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, which amounts to 77,000,000 votes. Prior to the commencement of the initial public offering, there will be 7,700,000 Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding representing voting power of 77,000,000 votes, 2,205,000 Class B Ordinary Shares outstanding representing voting power of 2,205,000 votes, and no preferred shares outstanding. As a result, out of a total of 9,905,000 shares of outstanding ordinary shares representing total voting power of 79,205,000 votes, our founders collectively control approximately 97.2% of the voting power before the initial public offering. Following the initial public offering, taking into consideration the Class B Ordinary Shares expected to be offered hereby, even if 100% of such shares are sold, our founders, some of whom are also some of our officers and directors, collectively will retain controlling voting power in the Company based on collectively having approximately 95.4% of all voting rights. This concentrated control may limit or preclude the ability of others to influence corporate matters including significant business decisions for the foreseeable future. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to This Offering and Ownership of Our Class B Ordinary Shares—Our dual class voting structure has the effect of concentrating the voting control to holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares, which will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters, and your interests may conflict with the interests of these shareholders. It may also adversely affect the trading market for our Class B Ordinary Shares due to exclusion from certain stock market indices.” for more information.

Summary of Risk Factors

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks summarized below. These risks are discussed more fully in the “Risk Factors” section immediately following this Prospectus Summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

●

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern in its report.

●

Our business is substantially dependent on the popularity and/or competitive success of our acquired teams, which cannot be assured.

●

We had a concentration of credit risk because we derived our revenue from a limited number of customers.

●

Our business is dependent upon our ability to attract players and staff, including management, recruiters, and coaches for our acquired clubs.

●

Injuries to, and illness of, players in our acquired clubs could hinder our success.

●

We may pursue acquisitions and other strategic transactions to complement or expand our business that may not be successful.

●

If we are unable to maintain, train and build an effective international sales and marketing infrastructure, we will not be able to commercialize and grow our brand successfully.

●

It may not be possible to renew or replace key commercial and sponsorship agreements on similar or better terms or attract new sponsors.

●

There could be a decline in the popularity of football.

●

Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations and our operating results and cash flow can vary substantially from period to period.

●

We operate in a highly competitive market and there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully.

●

Our digital media strategy may not generate the revenue we anticipate.

●

Our operations and operating results have been, and may continue to be, materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and government and league actions taken in response.

Risks Related to Government Regulation and Being a Public Company

●

We are subject to governmental regulation, which can change, and any failure to comply with these regulations may have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations.

●

We operate in non-United States markets and are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, as well anti-corruption laws and regulations in other countries. Violations of these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

●

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources.

●

Our internal controls over financial reporting currently may not meet all of the standards contemplated by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 could impair our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations and have a material adverse effect on our business.

●

Our management team has limited experience managing a public company.

●

We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives and corporate governance practices.

Risks Related to This Offering and Ownership of Our Class B Ordinary Shares

●

Our dual class voting structure has the effect of concentrating the voting control to holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares, which will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters, and your interests may conflict with the interests of these shareholders. It may also adversely affect the trading market for our Class B Ordinary Shares due to exclusion from certain stock market indices.

●

There has been no prior public market for our Class B Ordinary Shares and an active and liquid market may fail to develop, which could harm the market price of our Class B Ordinary Shares.

●

Our key officers and directors may own a majority of our outstanding ordinary shares after the initial public offering. As a result, they may have the ability to approve all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval.

	●	Our operating results and share price may be volatile, and the market price of our Class B Ordinary Shares after the initial public offering may drop below the price you pay.

	●	Certain recent initial public offerings of companies with relatively small public floats comparable to our anticipated public float have experienced extreme volatility that was seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of the respective company. Our Class B Ordinary Shares may potentially experience rapid and substantial price volatility, which may make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the value of our Class B Ordinary Shares.

●

We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our securities and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our Class B Ordinary Shares. In addition, any distribution of dividends must be in accordance with the rules and restrictions applying under Irish law.

●

Changes to taxation or the interpretation or application of tax laws could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

●

We intend to be treated exclusively as a resident of Ireland for tax purposes, but Italian or other tax authorities may seek to treat us as a tax resident of another jurisdiction as a result of which we could be subject to increased and/or different taxes.

●

Dividends paid by us may be subject to Irish dividend withholding tax.

●

Dividends paid by us may also be subject to Italian dividend withholding tax.

●

A future transfer of your Class B Ordinary Shares, other than one effected by means of the transfer of book entry interests in DTC, may be subject to Irish stamp duty.

●

Irish law differs from the laws in effect in the United States and U.S. investors may have difficulty enforcing civil liabilities against us, our directors or members of senior management named in this prospectus.

●

As an Irish public limited company, certain capital structure decisions will require shareholder approval, which may limit our flexibility to manage our capital structure.

●

Provisions of our constitution, as well as provisions of Irish law, could make an acquisition of us more difficult, limit attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our current directors, and limit the market price of our ordinary shares.

●

Our board of directors may be limited by the Irish Takeover Rules in its ability to defend an unsolicited takeover attempt.

●

The operation of the Irish Takeover Rules may affect the ability of certain parties to acquire our ordinary shares.

	●	Irish and European insolvency and bankruptcy laws are substantially different than U.S. insolvency laws and may offer our shareholders less protection than they would have under U.S. insolvency and bankruptcy laws.

	●	As a “controlled company” under the rules of Nasdaq, we may choose to exempt our company from certain corporate governance requirements that could have an adverse effect on our public shareholders.

●

As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to rely on exemptions from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to domestic U.S. issuers. This may afford less protection to holders of our shares.

●

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from the offering and may not use them effectively.

●

There is a risk that we will be a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors in our shares.

●

Registration of the beneficial interests in our shares will subject us and the holders of such beneficial interests to certain risks.

An investment in our Class B Ordinary Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, before purchasing our Class B Ordinary Shares. We have listed below (not necessarily in order of importance or probability of occurrence) what we believe to be the most significant risk factors applicable to us, but they do not constitute all of the risks that may be applicable to us. Any of the following factors could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects, and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. Some statements in this prospectus, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section titled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern in its report.

We had minimal cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our net cash was approximately €19,165 and €26,957, respectively, or approximately $20,064 and $30,512, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, our net loss was approximately €95,835 and €26,419, respectively, or approximately $104,734 and $31,829, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021, our net loss was approximately €95,835 and €87,056, respectively, or approximately $104,734 and $102,988, respectively. We will seek to fund our operations through revenue generated from our services, bank borrowings and private placements and equity financing arrangements. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed would impact our going concern status and would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy and continue as a going concern. Management’s plans to address this need for capital through our initial public offering and through private placement offerings are discussed elsewhere in this prospectus. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise sufficient capital will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained elsewhere in this prospectus do not include any adjustments that might result from our inability to consummate our initial public offering or our inability to continue as a going concern.

Our business is substantially dependent on the popularity and/or competitive success of our acquired teams, which cannot be assured.

Our financial results are dependent on, and are expected to continue to depend in large part on, the football clubs we acquire remaining popular with their fanbases and, in varying degrees, on each club’s first team achieving competitive success, which can generate fan enthusiasm, resulting in sustained ticket, premium seating, suite, food and beverage and merchandise sales during the season. Competitive success can also lead to revenues related to access to continental (mainly European) competitions, the transfer market for the footballers we develop, and sponsorships. However, due to the sheer unpredictability of the on-the-pitch results, which do not strictly depend on the amount invested in the club, there can be no assurance that Brera-controlled clubs will achieve competitive success and ultimately thereby generate substantial increased revenues from related rights.

We believe that the past performance and proficiency of our first and currently only team under management, Brera FC, would not, due to its amateur club status, provide a meaningful indicator of interest from fans, sponsors, consulting clients, investors, or others in either Brera FC or the professional clubs that we plan to acquire or manage, or our football management abilities in general. We view Brera FC’s role in our business as one of supporting our primary revenue-generating initiatives, and do not expect significant direct revenue to be generated by its performance. We therefore believe that its performance record would not affect our ability to win professional European football competitions, professionally train players for the transfer market, win sponsorship opportunities, and enter into consulting service agreements. However, we cannot guarantee that the prior history and performance of Brera FC will not adversely our business plans to the extent that they may in fact affect such interest or act as an accurate indicator of our football club management and related revenue-generating abilities.

The competitive record for our acquired club, Brera FC, is mixed. Due to repeated relegations from season losses, we have gradually fallen from the Serie D, or highest amateur Italian football league level, to Seconda Categoria, the second-lowest level. We may therefore face substantial challenges in overcoming our history of competitive defeats in order to win crucial fan loyalty and related revenues, attract or retain talented players and coaching staff, convince sponsors to view our club association as an asset, or gain consulting work. Brera FC recently promoted and participated in the FENIX Trophy, a newly formed non-professional pan-European football tournament recognized by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), which inaugurally ran from September 2021 to June 2022 and was intended to allow Brera FC to connect with the local community, increase our fanbase, and develop important relationships with other football clubs; however, this inaugural tournament is not guaranteed to succeed in any of these aims or, even if it does, to continue to do so in the future. Moreover, there can be no assurance that Brera FC will maintain or increase in popularity and therefore play a supportive role for our revenue-generating initiatives. Without such revenues, our results of operations and financial condition will be severely impacted, and you may lose most or all of the value of your investment in our Class B Ordinary Shares.

We had a concentration of credit risk because we derived our revenue from a limited number of customers.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had four customers, among which three customers accounted for 60%, 24%, and 14%, respectively, of our revenue, or 98% of revenue in aggregate. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we had 11 customers, among which three customers accounted for 45%, 21% and 10%, respectively, of our revenue, or 75% of revenue in aggregate. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had 12 customers, among which two customers accounted for 38%, and 15%, respectively, of our revenue, or 53% of revenue in aggregate. As a result, our credit risk in respect of accounts receivable was concentrated in three customers, three customers and two customers accounting for at least 10% of revenue for each of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 and for the six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. In order to minimize the credit risk, our management has created a team responsible for the determination of credit limits and credit approvals for our customers. We cannot assure you that we will not see concentration of accounts receivable from a small number of customers in the future. In such case, if any of these customers defaults on its payment obligations to us, we will not be able to recover the related accounts receivable, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

We source our services from a limited number of service suppliers. If we lose one or more of these service suppliers, our operation may be disrupted, and our results of operations may be adversely and materially impacted.

Three service suppliers, three service suppliers and four service suppliers each accounted for over 10% of our total cost of revenue, representing 88%, 56% and 88% of our cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. If we lose service suppliers and are unable to swiftly engage new service suppliers, our operations may be disrupted or suspended, and we may not be able to deliver products to our customers on time. We may also have to pay a higher price to source from a different service supplier on short notice. While we are actively searching for and negotiating with new service suppliers, there is no guarantee that we will be able to locate appropriate new service suppliers or service supplier merger targets in our desired timeline. As such, our results of operations may be adversely and materially impacted.

The success of our business depends on the value and strength of our brand and reputation. Our brand and reputation are also integral to the implementation of our strategies for expanding our fanbase, sponsors and commercial partners. To be successful in the future, particularly outside of Europe, we believe we must preserve, grow and leverage the value of our brand across all of our revenue streams. For example, we must increase the amount of media coverage we receive in order to expand our fanbase and brand awareness. Unfavorable publicity regarding the competition performances of any of our acquired clubs or their behavior off the field, our ability to attract and retain certain players and coaching staff or actions by or changes in our ownership, could negatively affect our brand and reputation. Failure to respond effectively to negative publicity could also further erode our brand and reputation. Our brand may also be adversely affected if our public image or reputation is tarnished by negative social media campaigns or poor reviews of our services, events or fan experiences. In addition, events in the football industry as whole, even if unrelated to us, may negatively affect our brand or reputation. As a result, the size, engagement, and loyalty of our fanbase and related revenues may decline. Damage to our brand or reputation or loss of our fans’ commitment for any of these reasons could impair our ability to expand our fanbase, and increase crucial revenues from ticket, premium seating, suite, sponsorship, food and beverage and merchandise sales, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow, as well as require additional resources to rebuild our brand and reputation.

In addition, maintaining and enhancing our brand and reputation may require us to make substantial investments. We cannot assure you that such investments will be successful. Failure to successfully maintain and enhance the Brera brand or our reputation or excessive or unsuccessful expenses in connection with this effort could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

Our business is dependent upon our ability to attract players and staff, including management, recruiters, and coaches for our acquired clubs.

We are highly dependent on our players and members of our staff, such as our management, recruiters, and coaches. Competition for talented players and staff is, and will continue to be, intense. Our ability to attract and retain high quality staff, especially recruiters with local connections and networks, is critical to our success in attracting talented players for our acquired clubs, and, consequently, critical to our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow. If we fail to attract talented players for our acquired clubs and youth system, we will be unable to engage in the global transfer market and it will limit our ability to compete and potentially win significant revenue in UEFA and other regional competitions. In addition, our popularity in certain countries or regions may depend, at least in part, on fielding certain players from those countries or regions. Our failure to attract key personnel could have a negative impact on our ability to effectively manage and grow our business.

Injuries to, and illness of, players in our acquired clubs could hinder our success.

To the degree that our financial results are dependent on our acquired club’s popularity and/or competitive success, the likelihood of achieving such popularity or competitive success may be substantially impacted by serious and/or untimely injuries to or illness of key players. Our strategy is to maintain squads of first team players sufficient to mitigate the risk of player injuries or illnesses. However, this strategy may not be sufficient to mitigate all financial losses in the event of an injury or illness, and as a result such injury or illness may affect the performance of our acquired clubs. In addition, even with team and league-wide health and safety precautions in place and compliance with governmental guidance and other COVID-19 protocols we may adopt, our players may nevertheless contract COVID-19 and, as a result, our ability to participate in games may be substantially impacted. Replacement of an injured or ill player may result in an increase in our salary expenses.

We may pursue acquisitions and other strategic transactions to complement or expand our business that may not be successful.

We may explore opportunities to purchase or invest in other businesses, football clubs or assets that we believe will complement, enhance or expand our current business or that might otherwise offer us growth opportunities. In connection with our anticipated acquisitions of clubs outside Italy, different cultures, languages, and traditions, or political instability, could have material adverse effects on our business plans. As a result, our strategy of providing access to football talent from outside Western Europe could be unsuccessful.

Any transactions that we are able to identify and complete may involve risks, including the commitment of significant capital, the incurrence of indebtedness, the payment of advances, the diversion of management’s attention and resources, litigation or other claims in connection with acquisitions or against companies we invest in or acquire, our lack of control over certain joint venture companies and other minority investments, the inability to successfully integrate such business into our operations or even if successfully integrated, the risk of not achieving the intended results and the exposure to losses if the underlying transactions or ventures are not successful.

If we fail to properly manage our anticipated growth, our business could suffer.

The planned growth of our commercial operations may place a significant strain on our management and on our operational and financial resources and systems. To manage growth effectively, we will need to maintain a system of management controls, and attract and retain qualified personnel, as well as develop, train and manage management-level and other employees. Failure to manage our growth effectively could cause us to over-invest or under-invest in infrastructure, and result in losses or weaknesses in our infrastructure, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow. Any failure by us to manage our growth effectively could have a negative effect on our ability to achieve our development and commercialization goals and strategies.

If we are unable to maintain, train and build an effective international sales and marketing infrastructure, we will not be able to commercialize and grow our brand successfully.

As we grow, we may not be able to secure sales personnel or organizations that are adequate in number or expertise to successfully market and sell our brand and products on a global scale. If we are unable to expand our sales and marketing capability, train our sales force effectively or provide any other capabilities necessary to commercialize our brand internationally, we will need to contract with third parties to market and sell our brand. If we are unable to establish and maintain compliant and adequate sales and marketing capabilities, we may not be able to increase our revenue, may generate increased expenses, and may not continue to be profitable.

It may not be possible to renew or replace key commercial and sponsorship agreements on similar or better terms or attract new sponsors.

Our commercial revenue for each of the years ended 2021 and 2020 represented a major part of our total revenue. The substantial majority of our commercial revenue is generated from commercial agreements with our sponsors, and these agreements have finite terms. When these contracts do expire, we may not be able to renew or replace them with contracts on similar or better terms or at all.

If we fail to renew or replace these key commercial agreements on similar or better terms, we could experience a material reduction in our commercial and sponsorship revenue. Such a reduction could have a material adverse effect on our overall revenue and our ability to continue to compete with the other football clubs in Italy and Europe.

As part of our business plan, we intend to continue to grow our sponsorship portfolio by developing and expanding our geographic and service categorized approach, which will include partnering with additional global sponsors, regional sponsors, and mobile and media operators. We may not be able to successfully execute our business plan in promoting our brand to attract new sponsors. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in implementing our business plan or that our commercial and sponsorship revenue will continue to grow at the same rate as it has in the past or at all. Any of these events could negatively affect our ability to achieve our development and commercialization goals, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

The performance of the Company’s acquired professional football clubs in UEFA and other tournaments will be material to the Company’s results. Therefore, any failure for these teams to compete and earn sufficient prizes and sponsor interests as a result of any failure by us to supervise and manage these teams would have a material adverse effect on our business plans and results of operations.

An economic downturn and adverse economic conditions may harm our business.

The recent economic downturn and adverse conditions in Italy and global markets may negatively affect our operations in the future. Our revenue in part depends on personal disposable income and corporate marketing and hospitality budgets. Further, our sponsorship and commercial revenue are contingent upon the expenditures of businesses across a wide range of industries, and as these industries continue to cut costs in response to the economic downturn, our revenue may similarly decline. Continued weak economic conditions could cause a reduction in our commercial and sponsorship revenue, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

There can be no assurance that football will retain its popularity as a sport around the world or its status in Italy as the most popular sport. Any decline in football’s popularity could result in lower ticket sales, sponsorship revenue, a reduction in the value of our players or our brand, or a decline in the value of our securities, including our Class B Ordinary Shares. Any one of these events or a combination of such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations and our operating results and cash flow can vary substantially from period to period.

Our revenues and expenses have been seasonal, and we expect they will continue to be seasonal. Due to the playing season, revenues from our business are typically concentrated in the third and fourth fiscal quarters of each fiscal year ended December 31. As a result, our operating results and cash flow reflect significant variation from period to period and will continue to do so in the future. Therefore, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not necessarily be meaningful and the operating results of one period are not indicative of our financial performance during a full fiscal year. This variability may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We operate in a highly competitive market and there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully.

We face competition from other football clubs not only in Italy and Europe, but on a global scale. Many of those football clubs are larger, more experienced and better funded than us, which enables them to acquire top players and coaching staff and could result in improved performance from those teams in domestic and European competitions. In addition, from a commercial perspective, we actively compete across many different industries and within many different markets. We believe our primary sources of competition, both in Europe and internationally, include, but are not limited to:

All of the above forms of competition could have a material adverse effect on any of our revenue streams and our overall business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

We maintain contact with, and provide entertainment to, our global fanbase through a number of digital and other media channels, including the internet, mobile services and social media. While we have attracted a significant number of followers to our digital media assets, including our website, the future revenue and income potential of our new media business is uncertain. You should consider our business and prospects in light of the challenges, risks and difficulties we may encounter in this new and rapidly evolving market, including:

Failure to successfully address these risks and difficulties could affect our overall business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, liquidity and prospects.

Exchange rate fluctuations could negatively affect our financial condition.

Although we operate globally, our consolidated financial statements are presented in euros. In addition to conducting business in the European Union, we also operate in North America and the UK. Therefore, we have revenues and expenses denominated in euros, U.S. dollars, and British pound sterling, among others. As a result, our business and share price may be affected by fluctuations between, the euro and the U.S. dollar and the euro and the British pound sterling, which may have a significant impact on our reported results of operations and cash flows from period to period.

Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property and curb the sale of counterfeit merchandise could injure our brand.

Like other popular brands, we are susceptible to instances of brand infringement (such as counterfeiting and other unauthorized uses of our intellectual property rights). We seek to protect our brand assets by ensuring that we own and control certain intellectual property rights in and to those assets and, where appropriate, by enforcing those intellectual property rights. For example, we own the copyright in our logo, and our logo and trade name are registered as trademarks (or are the subject of applications for registration) in a number of jurisdictions in Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa, North America and South America. However, it is not possible to detect all instances of brand infringement. Additionally, where instances of brand infringement are detected, we cannot guarantee that such instances will be prevented as there may be legal or factual circumstances which give rise to uncertainty as to the validity, scope and enforceability of our intellectual property rights in the brand assets. Furthermore, the laws of certain countries in which we license our brand and conduct operations may not offer the same level of protection to intellectual property rights holders as those in Europe and the United States, or the time required to enforce our intellectual property rights under these legal regimes may be lengthy and delay recovery. If we were to fail or be unable to secure, protect, maintain and/or enforce the intellectual property rights which vest in our brand assets, then we could lose our exclusive right to exploit such brand assets. Infringement of our trademark, copyright and other intellectual property rights could have an adverse effect on our business. We also license our intellectual property rights to third parties. In an effort to protect our brand, we enter into licensing agreements with these third parties which govern the use of our intellectual property, and which require our licensees to abide by quality control standards with respect to such use. Although we make efforts to police our licensees’ use of our intellectual property, we cannot assure you that these efforts will be sufficient to ensure their compliance. The failure of our licensees to comply with the terms of their licenses could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

Our operations and operating results have been, and may continue to be, materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and government and league actions taken in response.

As discussed in the “Business” section of this prospectus, our business depends on the activities of our acquired clubs. Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, for our acquired club Brera FC, the 2019-20 and 2020-21 season championships were suspended, and as a result, virtually all of our business operations were suspended.

While capacity limitations were eased for the end of 2021-22 season, a resurgence in the COVID-19 pandemic, such as the Omicron variant, or another major epidemic or pandemic could impact future seasons. Accordingly, no assurances can be made as to whether and when the 2022-23 seasons will occur, the number of games played for the 2022-23 seasons, or if the games will be played with any in-arena audiences or without limited-capacity in-arena audiences. Additionally, it is unclear whether and to what extent COVID-19 and related concerns will impact the demand for attending those games and for our sponsorship, tickets and other premium inventory.

Given that our acquired clubs may operate in various countries, with different levels of emergency and response to COVID-19, it is not predictable whether in the future a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic will have severe repercussions on the sports sector and alter our clubs’ season and course of business.

As a result of a resurgence in COVID-19, such as the Omicron variant, our business could be subject to additional governmental regulations and/or league determinations, including updated COVID-19 protocols for the 2022-23 seasons, which could have a material impact on our business.

Even with additional protective measures to provide for the health and safety of all of those in attendance, including compliance with governmental requirements, league restrictions, and other measures we may adopt, there can be no assurances that players, fans attending games or vendors and employees will not contract COVID-19. Any such occurrence could result in litigation, legal and other costs and reputational risk that could materially impact our business and results of operations. In addition, such additional measures will increase operating expenses.

In addition, the spread of the virus in many countries continues to adversely impact global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets and supply chains. The pandemic has had, and could have a significantly greater, material adverse effect on the Italian economy as a whole, as well as the local economy where we conduct our operations. The pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result for an extended period, in significant disruption of global financial markets, which may reduce our ability to access capital in the future, which could negatively affect our liquidity.

If the COVID-19 pandemic does not continue to slow and the spread of COVID-19 is not contained, our business operations, could be further delayed or interrupted. We expect that government and health authorities may announce new or extend existing restrictions, which could require us to make further adjustments to our operations in order to comply with any such restrictions. We may also experience limitations in employee or player resources. In addition, our operations could be disrupted if any of our employees or players were suspected of having COVID-19, which could require quarantine of some or all such employees or players or closure of our facilities for disinfection. The duration of any business disruption cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but may materially affect our ability to operate our business and result in additional costs.

The extent to which the pandemic may impact our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted as of the date of this prospectus, including the effectiveness of vaccines and other treatments for COVID-19, and other new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and steps taken to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among others. Nevertheless, the pandemic and the current financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in the global supply chain and other areas present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See also “Risk Factors” for more information.

We are subject to governmental regulation, which can change, and any failure to comply with these regulations may have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations.

We are subject to substantial governmental regulations affecting our business. These include, but are not limited to, data privacy and protection laws, regulations, policies and contractual obligations that apply to the collection, transmission, storage, processing and use of personal information or personal data, which among other things, impose certain requirements relating to the privacy and security of personal information. The variety of laws and regulations governing data privacy and protection, and the use of the internet as a commercial medium are rapidly evolving, extensive, and complex, and may include provisions and obligations that are inconsistent with one another or uncertain in their scope or application.

The data protection landscape is rapidly evolving in the United States and the European Union. As our operations and business grow, we may become subject to or affected by new or additional data protection laws and regulations and face increased scrutiny or attention from regulatory authorities. For example, the European Union and California have passed comprehensive data privacy laws, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which impose data protection obligations on enterprises, including limitations on data uses and constraints on certain uses of sensitive data. Effective January 1, 2023, we may also become subject to the California Privacy Rights Act, which expands upon the consumer data use restrictions, penalties and enforcement provisions under the California Consumer Privacy Act, and Virginia’s Consumer Data Protection Act, another comprehensive data privacy law. Effective July 1, 2023, we may also become subject to the Colorado Privacy Act and Connecticut’s An Act Concerning Personal Data Privacy and Online Monitoring, which are also comprehensive consumer privacy laws. Effective December 31, 2023, we may also become subject to the Utah Consumer Privacy Act, regarding business handling of consumers’ personal data. Further, there are several legislative proposals in the United States, at both the federal and state level, that could impose new privacy and security obligations. We cannot yet determine the impact that these future laws and regulations may have on our business.

Our business is, and may in the future be, subject to a variety of other laws and regulations, including working conditions, labor, immigration and employment laws, and health, safety and sanitation requirements. We are unable to predict the outcome or effects of any potential legislative or regulatory proposals on our business. Any changes to the legal and regulatory framework applicable to our business could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

Our failure to comply with applicable governmental laws and regulations, or to maintain necessary permits or licenses, could result in liability that could have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations.

Our business has also been materially impacted by government actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. See “Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—Our operations and operating results have been, and may continue to be, materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and government and league actions taken in response.”

We are subject to various United States and non-U.S. anti-corruption laws, collectively, the Anti-Corruption Laws, including the FCPA and the Irish Criminal Justice (Corruption Offences) Act 2018. These laws generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from engaging in bribery or making other improper payments of cash (or anything else of value) to government officials and other persons in order to obtain or retain business. Our business operations also must be conducted in compliance with applicable economic sanctions laws and regulations, collectively, the Trade Controls, including rules administered by the United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the United States Department of State, the United States Department of Commerce, the United Nations Security Council and other relevant authorities.

We strive to conduct our business activities in compliance with applicable Anti-Corruption Laws and Trade Controls, and we are not aware of issues of historical noncompliance. However, we cannot guarantee full compliance currently or in the future. Violations of Anti-Corruption Laws or Trade Controls, or even allegations of such violations, could result in civil or criminal penalties, as well as adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, changes to the applicable laws and regulations, and/or significant business growth, may result in the need for increased compliance-related resources and costs.

As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the listing standards of Nasdaq. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems and resources. Management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

The Exchange Act requires that our company file annual and other material reports with respect to our businesses, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, we must establish the corporate infrastructure necessary for operating a public company, which may divert our management’s attention from implementing our growth strategy, which could delay or slow the implementation of our business strategies, and in turn negatively impact our company’s financial condition and results of operations.

As a public company, we will have significant requirements for enhanced financial reporting and internal controls. The process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that will require us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company. If we are unable to establish or maintain appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations on a timely basis, result in material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements, and harm our operating results. In addition, we will be required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the second annual report on Form 20-F following the completion of our initial public offering. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. The rules governing the standards that must be met for our management to assess our internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing, and possible remediation through the implementation of new internal controls and procedures and hiring accounting or internal audit staff. Testing and maintaining internal controls may divert management’s attention from other matters that are important to our business. If we are not able to complete our initial assessment of our internal controls and otherwise implement the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, we may not be able to certify as to the adequacy of our internal controls over financial reporting.

Moreover, in the course of its audit, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm identified several material weaknesses: (i) the Company was unable to provide supporting documents to show that certain contractual obligations of the Company had been met during revenue testing, (ii) the Company has a lack of segregation of duties due to its size, (iii) the Company wrote off a loan to a foundation because it had lack of business purpose and the Company did not evaluate the loan for collectability, (iv) the Company improperly extinguished certain accounts payable balances in 2021 without supporting documents, which were therefore required to be reinstated, and (v) in certain cases, the Company’s management team failed to review supporting documents and approve all journal entities before posting by third-party consultants. While management is in the process of developing measures intended to remediate these material weaknesses in internal control, there can be no assurance that these measures will succeed.

Matters impacting our internal controls may cause us to be unable to report our financial information on a timely basis and thereby be required to restate our financial statements or otherwise be subject to adverse regulatory consequences, including sanctions by the SEC or violations of applicable stock exchange listing rules, which may result in a breach of the covenants under existing or future financing arrangements. If we fail to meet our public reporting obligations, investors could lose confidence in us and the reliability of our financial statements, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our Class B Ordinary Shares. Confidence in the reliability of our financial statements also could suffer if we report a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. This could materially adversely affect us and lead to a decline in the market price of our Class B Ordinary Shares.

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of Nasdaq and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies, including the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. We expect that we will need to hire additional accounting, finance and other personnel in connection with our becoming, and our efforts to comply with the requirements of being, a public company and our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time towards maintaining compliance with these requirements. These requirements will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, we expect that the rules and regulations applicable to us as a public company may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, which could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our Board. We are currently evaluating these rules and regulations and cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. These rules and regulations are often subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices.

Most members of our management team have limited experience managing a publicly traded company, interacting with public company investors and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. Our management team may not successfully or efficiently manage our transition to being a public company that is subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under the federal securities laws and the continuous scrutiny of securities analysts and investors. These new obligations and constituents will require significant attention from our senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Industry and other market data used in this prospectus or in periodic reports that we may in the future file with the SEC, including those undertaken by us or our engaged consultants, may not prove to be representative of current and future market conditions or future results.

This prospectus includes or refers to, and periodic reports that we may in the future file with the SEC may include or refer to, statistical and other industry and market data that we obtained from industry publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties and surveys and studies that we undertook ourselves regarding the market potential for our current products. Although we believe that such information has been obtained from reliable sources, the sources of such data have not guaranteed the accuracy or completeness of such information. While we believe these industry publications and third-party research, surveys and studies are reliable, we have not independently verified such data. The results of this data represent various methodologies, assumptions, research, analysis, projections, estimates, composition of respondent pool, presentation of data and adjustments, each of which may ultimately prove to be incorrect, and cause actual results and market viability to differ materially from those presented in any such report or other materials.

We adopted a dual class voting structure such that our ordinary shares consist of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, and we are authorized to issue any number of classes of preferred shares. Class A Ordinary Shares are entitled to ten votes per share on proposals requiring or requesting shareholder approval, and Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote on any such matter. In the initial public offering, we are offering Class B Ordinary Shares.

Alessandro Aleotti, Chief Strategy Officer and a director, Daniel Joseph McClory, Executive Chairman and a director, and Adrio Mario de Carolis will directly or indirectly control approximately 31.6%, 28.5% and 31.0% of all voting rights following our initial public offering, respectively, or approximately 31.5%, 28.4% and 30.9% of all voting rights following our initial public offering if the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full, respectively. Therefore, each of these beneficial owners may have controlling voting power following the initial public offering.

Our founders collectively and our key officers, directors and director nominees collectively will have, and the Class A Ordinary Shareholders named above may have, the ability to control the outcome of most matters requiring shareholder approval, including:

This voting control and influence may discourage transactions involving a change of control of the Company, including transactions in which you, as a holder of our Class B Ordinary Shares, might otherwise receive a premium for your shares.

S&P Dow Jones and FTSE Russell have implemented changes to their eligibility criteria for inclusion of shares of public companies on certain indices, including the S&P 500, namely, to exclude companies with multiple classes of shares of common stock from being added to such indices. In addition, several shareholder advisory firms have announced their opposition to the use of multiple class structures. As a result, the dual class structure of our ordinary shares may prevent the inclusion of the Class B Ordinary Shares in such indices and may cause shareholder advisory firms to publish negative commentary about our corporate governance practices or otherwise seek to cause us to change our capital structure. Any such exclusion from indices could result in a less active trading market for our Class B Ordinary Shares. Any actions or publications by shareholder advisory firms critical of our corporate governance practices or capital structure could also adversely affect the value of the Class B Ordinary Shares.

There has been no prior public market for our Class B Ordinary Shares and an active and liquid market may fail to develop, which could harm the market price of our Class B Ordinary Shares.

Prior to the initial public offering, there has been no public market for our Class B Ordinary Shares. Our Class B Ordinary Shares have been approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BREA”. An active trading market for our Class B Ordinary Shares may never develop or be sustained following the initial public offering. The initial public offering price of our Class B Ordinary Shares was based and determined through negotiations between us and the underwriters. This initial public offering price may not be indicative of the market price of our Class B Ordinary Shares after the initial public offering. In the absence of an active trading market for our Class B Ordinary Shares, investors may not be able to sell their Class B Ordinary Shares at or above the initial public offering price or at the time that they would like to sell. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or assets by using our shares as consideration.

Our key officers and directors will beneficially own approximately 46.9% of our outstanding share capital following the initial public offering, or approximately 46.0% if the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full. They therefore may have the ability to approve all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval including:

In addition, this concentration of ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce the price of our securities or prevent our shareholders from realizing a premium over the prices of our securities.

We may not be able to maintain a listing of our Class B Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq.

We must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing. If we violate Nasdaq’s listing requirements, or if we fail to meet any of Nasdaq’s continued listing standards, our Class B Ordinary Shares may be delisted. In addition, our Board of Directors may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of our Class B Ordinary Shares from Nasdaq may materially impair our shareholders’ ability to buy and sell our Class B Ordinary Shares and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our Class B Ordinary Shares. The delisting of our Class B Ordinary Shares could significantly impair our ability to raise capital and the value of your investment.

A significant portion of our Class B Ordinary Shares may be sold into the public market in the near future, which could cause the market price of our Class B Ordinary Shares to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

Future sales of our Class B Ordinary Shares in the public market after the initial public offering and the availability of Class B Ordinary Shares for future sale could adversely affect the market price of our Class B Ordinary Shares prevailing from time to time. Certain of our Class B Ordinary Shares currently outstanding will not be available for sale shortly after the initial public offering due to contractual restrictions on transfers of our Class B Ordinary Shares under certain lock-up agreements. Upon the expiration of these lock-up agreements, Class B Ordinary Shares will be eligible for sale either 180 or 365 days after the date of the Public Offering Prospectus, provided that Class B Ordinary Shares held by our affiliates will remain subject to volume, manner of sale, and other resale limitations set forth in Rule 144, or Rule 144, under the Securities Act. Furthermore, under our constitution, we are authorized to issue up to 250,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, of which 3,705,000 shares will be outstanding following the initial public offering, assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters in our initial public offering. 12 months following the date of the Public Offering Prospectus, we will no longer be restricted under the terms of our lock-up agreement from issuing or offering additional Class B Ordinary Shares. Sales of substantial numbers of Class B Ordinary Shares, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class B Ordinary Shares and could impair our future ability to raise equity capital.

In addition, the Class B Ordinary Shares subject to our equity incentive plan and the Class B Ordinary Shares reserved for future delivery under such plan will become eligible for sale in the public market in the future, subject to certain legal and contractual limitations. Following the initial public offering, we intend to file one or more registration statements on Form S-8 with the SEC, covering our Class B Ordinary Shares available for future issuance under our equity incentive plan. Upon effectiveness of such registration statements, any Class B Ordinary Shares subsequently issued under such plan will be eligible for sale in the public market, except to the extent that they are restricted by the lock-up agreements referred to above and subject to compliance with Rule 144 in the case of our affiliates. Sales of a large number of the Class B Ordinary Shares issued under the plan in the public market could have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class B Ordinary Shares. If these additional Class B Ordinary Shares are sold, or if it is perceived that they will be sold in the public market, the trading price of our Class B Ordinary Shares could decline substantially.

The offering price of the primary offering and resale offering could differ.

The offering price of the Class B Ordinary Shares in the primary offering (the initial public offering) has been determined by negotiations between the Company and the underwriters based upon several factors, including our prospects and the history and prospects for the industry in which we compete; an assessment of our management; our prospects for future revenue and earnings; the recent prices of, and demand for, shares sold by us prior to the initial public offering; the general condition of the securities markets at the time of the initial public offering; the recent market prices of, and demand for, publicly traded securities of generally comparable companies; and other factors deemed relevant by us and the underwriters. The offering price in the primary offering bears no relationship to our assets, earnings or book value, or any other objective standard of value. Additionally, the offering price in the primary offering of $5.00 per share is substantially higher than the prices at which the selling shareholders acquired their shares (at an average price per share of $0.74), and we recently sold shares at a price ($1.00 per share) substantially less than the primary offering price. Our recent share issuances at prices substantially less than the primary offering price occurred while we were a non-public company, and the shares we issued were subject to transfer restrictions imposed by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and by lock-up restrictions, whereas shares issued in the primary offering will be issued after we are a public company and will be issued without restriction.

The selling shareholders may sell the resale shares at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices after close of the primary offering and listing of our Class B Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Therefore, the offering prices of our Class B Ordinary Shares in the primary offering and the resale offering could differ. As a result, purchasers in the resale offering could pay more or less than the offering price in the primary offering.

The resale by the selling shareholders may cause the market price of our Class B Ordinary Shares to decline.

The resale of Class B Ordinary Shares by the selling shareholders in the resale offering could result in resales of our Class B Ordinary Shares by our other shareholders concerned about selling volume. In addition, the resale by the selling shareholders could have the effect of depressing the market price for our Class B Ordinary Shares.

Our operating results and share price may be volatile, and the market price of our Class B Ordinary Shares after the initial public offering may drop below the price you pay.

Our quarterly operating results are likely to fluctuate in the future as a publicly traded company. In addition, securities markets worldwide have experienced, and are likely to continue to experience, significant price and volume fluctuations. This market volatility, as well as general economic, market, or political conditions, could subject the market price of our shares to wide price fluctuations regardless of our operating performance. You may not be able to resell your shares at or above the initial public offering price or at all. Our operating results and the trading price of our Class B Ordinary Shares may fluctuate in response to various factors, including:

These and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause our operating results and the market price and demand for our Class B Ordinary Shares to fluctuate substantially. While we believe that operating results for any particular quarter are not necessarily a meaningful indication of future results, fluctuations in our quarterly operating results could limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares and may otherwise negatively affect the market price and liquidity of our shares. In addition, in the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have sometimes brought securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock. If any of our shareholders brought a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. Such a lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management from our business, which could significantly harm our profitability and reputation.

Certain recent initial public offerings of companies with relatively small public floats comparable to our anticipated public float have experienced extreme volatility that was seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of the respective company. Our Class B Ordinary Shares may potentially experience rapid and substantial price volatility, which may make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the value of our Class B Common Shares.

In addition to the risks addressed above under “— Our operating results and share price may be volatile, and the market price of our Class B Ordinary Shares after the initial public offering may drop below the price you pay,” our Class B Ordinary Shares may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility. Recently, companies with comparably small public floats and initial public offering sizes have experienced instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines, and such stock price volatility was seemingly unrelated to the respective company’s underlying performance. Although the specific cause of such volatility is unclear, our anticipated public float may amplify the impact the actions taken by a few shareholders have on the price of our shares, which may cause our share price to deviate, potentially significantly, from a price that better reflects the underlying performance of our business. Our Class B Ordinary Shares may experience run-ups and declines that are seemingly unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Class B Ordinary Shares. In addition, investors in our Class B Common Shares may experience losses, which may be material, if the price of our Class B Ordinary Shares declines after the initial public offering or if such investors purchase our Class B Ordinary Shares prior to any price decline.

We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on any class of our ordinary shares since our formation and do not currently intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors after considering our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, general business conditions and other factors our board of directors deems relevant, and subject to compliance with applicable laws, including the Irish Companies Act 2014 (as amended), or the Irish Companies Act, which requires Irish companies to have distributable reserves available for distribution equal to or greater than the amount of the proposed dividend. Distributable reserves are the accumulated realized profits of the Company that have not previously been utilized in a distribution or capitalization less accumulated realized losses that have not previously been written off in a reduction or reorganization of capital. Unless the Company creates sufficient distributable reserves from its business activities, the creation of such distributable reserves would involve a reduction of the Company’s share premium account or other undenominated capital account, which would require the approval of (i) 75% of our shareholders present and voting at a shareholder meeting, and (ii) the Irish High Court. In the event that we do not undertake a reduction of capital to create distributable reserves, no distributions by way of dividends, share repurchases or otherwise will be permitted under Irish law until such time as the Company has created sufficient distributable reserves from its business activities. The determination as to whether or not the Company has sufficient distributable reserves to fund a dividend must be made by reference to “relevant financial statements” of the Company. The “relevant financial statements” are either the last set of unconsolidated annual audited financial statements or unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with the Irish Companies Act, which give a “true and fair view” of the Company’s unconsolidated financial position in accordance with accepted accounting practice in Ireland.

Moreover, even if we are or become able to declare and pay dividends, we expect to retain all earnings, if any, generated by our operations for the development and growth of our business. Therefore, you are not likely to receive any dividends on your ordinary shares for the foreseeable future.

As a result, the success of an investment in our Class B Ordinary Shares will depend upon any future appreciation in our value and investors may need to sell all or part of their holdings of Class B Ordinary Shares after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment. There is no guarantee that our Class B Ordinary Shares will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which our shareholders have purchased our Class B Ordinary Shares. If the price of our Class B Ordinary Shares declines before we pay dividends, you will incur a loss on your investment, without the likelihood that this loss will be offset in part or at all by potential future cash dividends. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase Class B Ordinary Shares.

In addition, exchange rate fluctuations may affect the amount of euros that we are able to distribute, and the amount in dollars that our shareholders receive upon the payment of cash dividends or other distributions we declare and pay in euros, if any. These factors could harm the value of our Class B Ordinary Shares, and, in turn, the dollar proceeds that holders receive from the sale of our Class B Ordinary Shares.

Changes to taxation or the interpretation or application of tax laws could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our business is subject to various taxes in different jurisdictions (mainly Italy), which include, among others, the Italian corporate income tax (“IRES”), regional trade tax (“IRAP”), value added tax (“VAT”), excise duty, registration tax and other indirect taxes. We are exposed to the risk that our overall tax burden may increase in the future.

Changes in tax laws or regulations, or in the position of the relevant Italian and non-Italian authorities regarding the application, administration or interpretation of these laws or regulations, particularly if applied retrospectively, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. These changes include the introduction of a global minimum tax at a rate of 15% under the Two-Pillar Solution to Address the Tax Challenges of the Digitalisation of the Economy, agreed upon by over 130 jurisdictions under the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting and to be implemented as from January 1, 2024.

In addition, tax laws are complex and subject to subjective valuations and interpretive decisions, and we periodically may be subject to tax audits aimed at assessing our compliance with direct and indirect taxes. The tax authorities may not agree with our interpretations of, or the positions we have taken or intend to take on, tax laws applicable to our ordinary activities and extraordinary transactions. In case of challenges by the tax authorities to our interpretations, we could face long tax proceedings that could result in the payment of additional tax and penalties, with potential material adverse effects on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

As a result of our subsidiary’s principal business activity being within Italy and our three current directors being Italian citizens, we may be deemed a tax resident in Italy for purposes of dividend withholding taxes and the IRES. However, we intend to maintain our management and organizational structure in such a manner that (i) our place of effective management would be in Ireland and we should be regarded as a tax resident of Ireland for Irish domestic law purposes; (ii) we should be considered to be exclusively tax resident in Ireland for purposes of the applicable tax treaties, including the convention between Ireland and the Republic of Italy for the avoidance of double taxation and the prevention of fiscal evasion with respect to taxes on income and on capital; and (iii) we should not be regarded as a tax resident of any jurisdiction other than Ireland or Italy either for purposes of the domestic tax laws of such jurisdiction or for the purposes of any applicable tax treaty. However, the determination of our tax residency depends primarily upon our place of effective management, which is largely a question of fact, based on all relevant circumstances. Therefore, no assurance can be given regarding the final determination of our tax residency by tax authorities. In addition, changes to applicable laws and income tax treaties, including a change to the provisional reservation made by Italy under the Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (the “MLI”) made at the time of signing the MLI with respect to Article 4 (Dual Resident Entities) of the MLI, or interpretations thereof and changes to applicable facts and circumstances (e.g., a change of board members or the place where board meetings take place), may have a bearing on the determination of our tax residency and the consequent tax treatment.

If the competent tax authorities of a jurisdiction other than Ireland, including Italy, take the position that we should be treated as (exclusively) tax resident of that jurisdiction for purposes of an applicable tax treaty, we would be subject to corporation tax and all distributions made by us to our shareholders would be subject to any applicable dividend withholding tax in such other jurisdiction(s) as well as in Ireland. To resolve any dual tax residency issue, we may have access to a mutual agreement procedure and/or dispute resolution mechanisms under an applicable tax treaty and the dispute resolution mechanism under the EU Arbitration Directive (if it is an EU jurisdiction), or we could submit our case for judicial review by the relevant courts. These procedures would require substantial time, costs and efforts, and it is not certain that double taxation issues can be resolved in all circumstances.

As noted elsewhere in this prospectus, we do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we do make dividend payments (or other returns to shareholders that are treated as “distributions” for Irish tax purposes), it should be noted that, in certain limited circumstances, dividend withholding tax (currently at the rate of 25%) may arise in respect of dividends paid on our Class B Ordinary Shares. A number of exemptions from dividend withholding tax exist, such that holders of our Class B Ordinary Shares resident in EU member states (other than Ireland) or other countries with which Ireland has signed a double tax treaty, which would include the United States, should generally be entitled to exemptions from dividend withholding tax provided that the appropriate documentation is in place. See “Material United States and Irish Income Tax Considerations—Irish Tax Considerations” for more information and in particular, please note the requirement to complete certain dividend withholding tax forms in order to qualify for many of the exemptions.

Dividends paid by us may also be subject to Italian dividend withholding tax.

If we are considered a tax resident of Italy, we would generally be required under Italian law, except as otherwise discussed in this paragraph, to apply a definitive withholding tax on dividends paid to our shareholders who are not residents of Italy for tax purposes. Dividends paid to shareholders who are not Italian residents and do not have a permanent establishment in Italy are generally subject to a 26 percent substitute tax rate. Therefore, the amount of the dividends that the shareholders not residing in Italy will initially receive will be net of such Italian substitute tax. All non-Italian resident shareholders may benefit from reduced withholding tax settled in the relevant anti-double tax treaty undersigned between Italy and the shareholder’s country of residence for tax purposes. The reduced withholding tax rate under the relevant anti-double tax treaty will be applicable provided that the non-resident shareholders are able to produce the documentation attesting the requirements to be eligible for the application of the relevant anti-double tax treaty.

You may incur immediate and substantial dilution as a result of the initial public offering.

If you purchase shares in this offering, you may pay more for your Class B Ordinary Shares than the amount paid by our existing shareholders for their shares on a per share basis. As a result, you may experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value per share in relation to the price that you paid for your shares. We expect the dilution as a result of the initial public offering to be $4.36 per share to new investors purchasing our shares in the initial public offering if the maximum number of shares being offered are sold. In addition, you may experience further dilution to the extent that our shares are issued upon the vesting of restrictive shares or exercise of share options under our equity incentive plan. All of the shares issuable under our equity incentive plan will be issued at a purchase price on a per share basis that is less than the public offering price per share in the public offering.

Shareholders could be diluted in the future if we increase our issued share capital because of the disapplication of statutory preemption rights. In addition, shareholders in certain jurisdictions, including the United States, may not be able to exercise their preemption rights even if those rights have not been disapplied.

As a matter of Irish law, holders of our ordinary shares will have a preemption right with respect to any issuance of our ordinary shares for cash consideration or the granting of rights to subscribe for our ordinary shares for cash consideration, unless such preemption right is disapplied, in whole or in part, either in our constitution or by resolution of our shareholders at a general meeting of shareholders or otherwise. However, we have opted out of these preemption rights in our constitution as permitted under Irish company law (for a period of five years). Thus, our board of directors will be permitted to issue up to all of our authorized but unissued share capital on a non-preemptive basis for cash consideration at any stage during the period of five years after the date of adoption of our constitution. In addition, even if the disapplication of preemption rights contained in our constitution expires (and is not renewed by shareholders at a general meeting) or is terminated by our shareholders in a general meeting, due to laws and regulations in certain jurisdictions outside Ireland, shareholders in such jurisdictions may not be able to exercise their preemption rights unless we take action to register or otherwise qualify the rights offering under the laws of that jurisdiction. For example, in the United States, U.S. holders of our ordinary shares may not be able to exercise preemption rights unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is declared effective with respect to our ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of such rights or an exemption from the U.S. registration requirements is available. If shareholders in such jurisdictions are unable to exercise their preemption rights, their ownership interest would be diluted. Any future issuance of shares or debt instruments convertible into shares where preemption rights are not available or are excluded would result in the dilution of existing shareholders and reduce the earnings per share, which could have a material adverse effect on the price of shares.

A future transfer of your Class B Ordinary Shares, other than one effected by means of the transfer of book entry interests in DTC, may be subject to Irish stamp duty.

Transfers of our Class B Ordinary Shares effected by means of the transfer of book entry interests in the Depository Trust Company, or DTC, should not be subject to Irish stamp duty. However, if you hold your Class B Ordinary Shares directly rather than beneficially through DTC, any transfer of our Class B Ordinary Shares could be subject to Irish stamp duty (currently at the rate of 1% of the higher of the price paid or the market value of the shares acquired). Payment of Irish stamp duty is generally a legal obligation of the transferee. The potential for stamp duty to arise could adversely affect the price of our Class B Ordinary Shares. Legislation, ruling and practice in Ireland regulating Irish Stamp Duty is subject to change from time to time. For more information, see “Material United States and Irish Income Tax Considerations—Irish Tax Considerations—Stamp Duty.”

Most of the members of our board of directors and senior management reside outside of the United States and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible to serve process on these directors, or us, in the United States or to enforce court judgments obtained in the United States against these individuals or us in Ireland based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws. The United States currently does not have a treaty with Ireland providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any U.S. federal or state court based on civil liability, whether or not based solely on U.S. federal or state securities laws, would not automatically be enforceable in Ireland. A judgment obtained against us will be enforced by the courts of Ireland if the following general requirements are met:

A judgment can be final and conclusive even if it is subject to appeal or even if an appeal is pending. But where the effect of lodging an appeal under the applicable law is to stay execution of the judgment, it is possible that in the meantime the judgment may not be actionable in Ireland. It remains to be determined whether a final judgment given in default of appearance is final and conclusive. Irish courts may also refuse to enforce a judgment of the U.S. courts that meets the above requirements for one of the following reasons:

As an Irish company, we are principally governed by Irish law, which differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to U.S. corporations and shareholders, including, among others, differences relating to interested director and officer transactions and shareholder lawsuits. Likewise, the duties of directors and officers of an Irish company generally are owed to the company only. Shareholders of Irish companies generally do not have a personal right of action against directors or other officers of the company and may exercise such rights of action on behalf of the company only in limited circumstances. Accordingly, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty protecting their interests than would holders of shares of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction of the United States.

You should also be aware that Irish law does not allow for any form of legal proceedings directly equivalent to the class action available in the United States. For further information with respect to your rights as a shareholder, see “Description of Share Capital and Constitution.”

As an Irish public limited company, certain capital structure decisions will require shareholder approval, which may limit our flexibility to manage our capital structure.

After we have converted into a public limited liability company under Irish law, our authorized share capital can be increased by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders and the directors may issue new ordinary or preferred shares up to a maximum amount equal to the authorized but unissued share capital, without shareholder approval, once authorized to do so by our constitution or by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders. Additionally, subject to specified exceptions, Irish law grants statutory preemption rights to existing shareholders where shares are being issued for cash consideration but allows shareholders to disapply such statutory preemption rights either in our constitution or by way of special resolution. Such disapplication can either be generally applicable or be in respect of a particular allotment of shares. Accordingly, our constitution contains, as permitted by Irish company law, provisions authorizing the board to issue new shares, and to disapply statutory preemption rights. The authorization of the directors to issue shares and the disapplication of statutory preemption rights must both be renewed by the shareholders at least every five years, and we cannot provide any assurance that these authorizations will always be approved, which could limit our ability to issue equity and thereby adversely affect the holders of our securities.

Our constitution which will come into effect immediately prior to the completion of the offering, together with certain provisions of the Irish Companies Act could delay, defer or prevent a third party from acquiring us, even where such a transaction would be beneficial to the holders of ordinary shares, or could otherwise adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares. For example, certain provisions of our constitution:

We believe these provisions, if implemented in compliance with applicable law, may provide some protection to holders of ordinary shares from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics. These provisions are not intended to make us immune from takeovers. They will, however, apply even if some holders of ordinary shares consider an offer to be beneficial and could delay or prevent an acquisition that our board of directors determines is in the best interest of the holders of ordinary shares. Certain of these provisions may also prevent or discourage attempts to remove and replace incumbent directors.

In addition, mandatory provisions of Irish law could prevent or delay an acquisition of the Company by a third party. For example, Irish law does not permit shareholders of an Irish public limited company to take action by written consent with less than unanimous consent. In addition, an effort to acquire us may be subject to various provisions of Irish law relating to mandatory bids, voluntary bids, requirements to make a cash offer and minimum price requirements, as well as substantial acquisition rules and rules requiring the disclosure of interests in ordinary shares in certain circumstances.

Irish law differs from the laws in effect in the United States with respect to defending unwanted takeover proposals and may give our board of directors less ability to control negotiations with hostile offerors.

Our board of directors may be limited by the Irish Takeover Rules in its ability to defend an unsolicited takeover attempt.

Following the authorization for trading of our Class B Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq, we will become subject to the Irish Takeover Panel Act, 1997, Irish Takeover Rules 2022, or the Irish Takeover Rules. Under the Irish Takeover Rules, our board of directors is not permitted to take any action that might frustrate an offer for our ordinary shares once our board of directors has received an approach that may lead to an offer or has reason to believe that such an offer is or may be imminent, subject to certain exceptions. Potentially frustrating actions such as (i) the issue of shares, options, restricted share units or convertible securities, (ii) material acquisitions or disposals, (iii) entering into contracts other than in the ordinary course of business or (iv) any action, other than seeking alternative offers, which may result in frustration of an offer, are prohibited during the course of an offer or at any earlier time during which our board of directors has reason to believe an offer is or may be imminent. These provisions may give our board of directors less ability to control negotiations with hostile offerors than would be the case for a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction of the United States.

The operation of the Irish Takeover Rules may affect the ability of certain parties to acquire our ordinary shares.

Under the Irish Takeover Rules, if an acquisition of ordinary shares were to increase the aggregate holding of the acquirer and its concert parties to ordinary shares that represent 30% or more of the voting rights of the Company, the acquirer and, in certain circumstances, its concert parties would be required (except with the consent of the Irish Takeover Panel) to make an offer for the outstanding ordinary shares at a price not less than the highest price paid for the ordinary shares by the acquirer or its concert parties during the previous 12 months. This requirement would also be triggered by an acquisition of ordinary shares by a person holding (together with its concert parties) ordinary shares that represent between 30% and 50% of the voting rights in the Company if the effect of such acquisition were to increase that person’s percentage of the voting rights by 0.05% within a 12-month period. Following the authorization for trading of the Class B Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq, under the Irish Takeover Rules, certain separate concert parties will be presumed to be acting in concert. Our board of directors and their relevant family members, related trusts and “controlled companies” are presumed to be acting in concert with any corporate shareholder who holds 20% or more of our shares. The application of these presumptions may result in restrictions upon the ability of any of the concert parties and/or members of our board of directors to acquire more of our securities, including under the terms of any executive incentive arrangements. Following the listing of the Class B Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq, we may consult with the Irish Takeover Panel with respect to the application of this presumption and the restrictions on the ability to acquire further securities, although we are unable to provide any assurance as to whether the Irish Takeover Panel will overrule this presumption. For a description of certain takeover provisions applicable to us, see the section titled “Material Differences Between Irish Law and Delaware General Corporation Law—Takeover Rules and Substantial Acquisition Rules.” Accordingly, the application of the Irish Takeover Rules may restrict the ability of certain of our shareholders and directors to acquire our ordinary shares.

Irish and European insolvency and bankruptcy laws are substantially different than U.S. insolvency laws and may offer our shareholders less protection than they would have under U.S. insolvency and bankruptcy laws.

As a company incorporated under the laws of Ireland and with its registered office in Ireland, the Company is subject to Irish insolvency laws in the event any insolvency proceedings are initiated against us including, among other things, Council and European Parliament Regulation (EU) 2015/848 of 20 May 2015 on insolvency proceedings (the Recast Directive). The Recast Directive pivots around the concept of a ‘centre of main interest’ (COMI) and provides that the jurisdiction where the company’s COMI is located is the jurisdiction where the company’s main insolvency proceedings should open. Therefore, if courts in another European country determine that the insolvency laws of that country apply to us in accordance with and subject to such EU regulations and local laws, the courts in that country could have jurisdiction over the insolvency proceedings initiated against us. Insolvency laws in Ireland or the relevant other European country, if any, may offer our shareholders less protection than they would have under U.S. insolvency and bankruptcy laws and make it more difficult for them to recover the amount they could expect to recover in a liquidation under U.S. insolvency and bankruptcy laws.

We are exempted from certain corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq by virtue of being a foreign private issuer. As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to follow the governance practices of our home country in lieu of certain corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq. As result, the standards applicable to us are considerably different than the standards applied to domestic U.S. issuers. For instance, we are not required to:

We may take advantage of these home country exemptions. See “Management – Foreign Private Issuer Exemption” for more information. As a result, our shareholders may not be provided with the benefits of certain corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.

For an overview of our corporate governance principles, see “Description of Share Capital and Constitution.” Accordingly, in the future, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of other companies that are subject to these Nasdaq requirements.

As a “controlled company” under the rules of Nasdaq, we may choose to exempt our company from certain corporate governance requirements that could have an adverse effect on our public shareholders.

Under Nasdaq’s rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including, without limitation, (i) the requirement that a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors, (ii) the requirement that the compensation of our officers be determined or recommended to our board of directors by a compensation committee that is comprised solely of independent directors, and (iii) the requirement that director nominees be selected or recommended to the Board of Directors by a majority of independent directors or a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors.

As a result, we will be a “controlled company” under Nasdaq’s rules. Although we currently do not intend to rely on the “controlled company” exemption, we could elect to rely on this exemption in the future as a controlled company after the initial public offering. If we elected to rely on the “controlled company” exemption, a majority of the members of our Board of Directors might not be independent directors and our nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees might not consist entirely of independent directors. Our status as a controlled company could cause our Class B Ordinary Shares to look less attractive to certain investors or otherwise harm our trading price.

We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to U.S. domestic public companies.

Because we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the United States that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including:

Upon the completion of the initial public offering, we will be required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the end of each fiscal year. In addition, we intend to publish our results on a quarterly basis as press releases and material events will also be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K. However, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. As a result, you may not be afforded the same protections or information that would be made available to you were you investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.

We may lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses.

While we currently qualify as a foreign private issuer, the determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business day of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter. In the future, we would lose our foreign private issuer status if we to fail to meet the requirements necessary to maintain our foreign private issuer status as of the relevant determination date. For example, if more than 50% of our securities are held by U.S. residents and more than 50% of either our directors or executive officers are residents or citizens of the United States, we could lose our foreign private issuer status.

The regulatory and compliance costs to us under U.S. securities laws as a U.S. domestic issuer may be significantly more than costs we incur as a foreign private issuer. If we are not a foreign private issuer, we will be required to file periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms with the SEC, which are more detailed and extensive in certain respects than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. We would be required under current SEC rules to prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, rather than IFRS. Such conversion of our financial statements to U.S. GAAP would involve significant time and cost, and we would still be required to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS as required by Irish law. In addition, we may lose our ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements on U.S. stock exchanges that are available to foreign private issuers such as the ones described above and exemptions from procedural requirements related to the solicitation of proxies.

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from the initial public offering and may not use them effectively.

Our Board will have broad discretion in applying the net proceeds of our initial public offering and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds of the initial public offering. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from the initial public offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our investors.

Based on our planned use of the net proceeds of the initial public offering and our current cash, cash equivalents and current financial assets, we estimate that such funds will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next 12 months from the date of the Public Offering Prospectus. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business and financial condition.

If a United States person is treated as owning at least 10% of any class of our ordinary shares, such holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

If a United States person is treated as owning (directly, indirectly or constructively) at least 10% of the value or voting power of any class of our ordinary shares, such person may be treated as a “United States shareholder” with respect to each “controlled foreign corporation” in our group (if any). If our group includes one or more U.S. subsidiaries, certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries could be treated as controlled foreign corporations, regardless of whether we are treated as a controlled foreign corporation (although recent regulations significantly limit the application of these rules). A United States shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation may be required to report annually and include in its U.S. taxable income its pro rata share of “Subpart F income,” “global intangible low-taxed income” and investments in U.S. property by controlled foreign corporations, regardless of whether the controlled foreign corporation makes any distributions. Failure to comply with these reporting obligations may subject United States shareholders to significant monetary penalties and may prevent the statute of limitations with respect to their U.S. federal income tax return for the year for which reporting was due from starting. An individual who is a United States shareholder with respect to a controlled foreign corporation generally would not be allowed certain tax deductions or foreign tax credits that would be allowed to a United States shareholder that is a U.S. corporation. We cannot provide any assurances that we will assist investors in determining whether any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries are treated as a controlled foreign corporation or whether such investor is treated as a United States shareholder with respect to any of such controlled foreign corporations or furnish to any United States shareholders information that may be necessary to comply with the aforementioned reporting and tax paying obligations. U.S. investors should consult their advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to an investment in the Class B Ordinary Shares.

There is a risk that we will be a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors in our shares.

In general, a non-U.S. corporation is a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for any taxable year in which (i) 75% or more of its gross income consists of passive income or (ii) 50% or more of the average quarterly value of its assets consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. For purposes of the above calculations, a non-U.S. corporation that owns at least 25% by value of the shares of another corporation is treated as if it held its proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation and received directly its proportionate share of the income of the other corporation. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents, royalties and certain gains. Cash is a passive asset for these purposes.

Based on the expected composition of our income and assets and the value of our assets, including goodwill, which is based on the price of the shares in the initial public offering, we do not expect to be a PFIC for our current taxable year. However, the proper application of the PFIC rules to a company with a business such as ours is not entirely clear. Because we will hold a substantial amount of cash following the initial public offering, and because our PFIC status for any taxable year will depend on the composition of our income and assets and the value of our assets from time to time (which may be determined, in part, by reference to the market price of our shares, which could be volatile), there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for our current taxable year or any future taxable year.

If we were a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. investor holds shares, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to such U.S. investor. See “Material United States and Irish Income Tax Considerations—U.S. Federal Income Taxation Considerations—Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences” for additional information.

If securities or industry analysts either do not publish research about us or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about us, our business or our market, if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our Class B Ordinary Shares, or if our operating results do not meet their expectations or any financial guidance we may provide, the trading price or trading volume of our Class B Ordinary Shares could decline.

The trading market for our Class B Ordinary Shares will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over independent analysts. If we obtain independent securities or industry analyst coverage and if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our Class B Ordinary Shares, changes their opinion of our Class B Ordinary Shares or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our share price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our Class B Ordinary Shares could decrease and we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our Class B Ordinary Shares and trading volume to decline. In addition, we may be expected to provide various measures of financial guidance, possibly including guidance related to non-GAAP financial measures, and, if we do not meet any financial guidance that we may provide to the public, if we do not meet expectations of securities analysts or investors, or if our guidance is misunderstood by securities analysts or investors, the trading price of our Class B Ordinary Shares could decline significantly. Our operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period as a result of changes in a variety of factors affecting us or our industry, many of which are difficult to predict. As a result, we may experience challenges in forecasting our operating results for future periods.

We will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not emerging growth companies, and our shareholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.

Upon the completion of the initial public offering, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we will be permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of at least $1.235 billion; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of the initial public offering; (iii) the date on which we have, during the preceding three year period, issued more than US$1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act, which could occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. Once we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will not be entitled to the exemptions provided in the JOBS Act discussed above.

Because we will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not emerging growth companies, our shareholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies. We cannot predict if investors will find our ordinary shares less attractive if we elect to rely on these exemptions, or if taking advantage of these exemptions would result in less active trading or more volatility in the price of our ordinary shares.

We are a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to smaller reporting companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act defines a “smaller reporting company” as an issuer that is not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent that is not a smaller reporting company and that:

As a smaller reporting company, we will not be required and may not include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section in our annual reports or proxy statements, if any; we will provide only two years of financial statements; and we need not provide the table of selected financial data required for other public companies. We also will have other “scaled” disclosure requirements that are less comprehensive than issuers that are not smaller reporting companies which could make our Class B Ordinary Shares less attractive to potential investors, which could make it more difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares.

As a “smaller reporting company,” we may choose to exempt our company from certain corporate governance requirements that could have an adverse effect on our public shareholders.

Under Nasdaq rules, a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, is not subject to certain corporate governance requirements otherwise applicable to companies listed on Nasdaq. For example, a smaller reporting company is exempt from the requirement of having a compensation committee composed solely of directors meeting certain enhanced independence standards, as long as the compensation committee has at least two members who do meet such standards. Although we have not yet determined to avail ourselves of this or other exemptions from Nasdaq requirements that are or may be afforded to smaller reporting companies, while we will seek to maintain our shares on Nasdaq in the future we may elect to rely on any or all of them. By electing to utilize any such exemptions, our company may be subject to greater risks of poor corporate governance, poorer management decision-making processes, and reduced results of operations from problems in our corporate organization. Consequently, our share price may suffer, and there is no assurance that we will be able to continue to meet all continuing listing requirements of Nasdaq from which we will not be exempt, including minimum share price requirements.

Future issuances of our Class B Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, our Class B Ordinary Shares, or the expiration of lock-up agreements that restrict the issuance of new ordinary shares or the trading of outstanding ordinary shares, could cause the market price of our Class B Ordinary Shares to decline. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future issuances of our securities, or the future expirations of lock-up agreements, on the price of our Class B Ordinary Shares. In all events, future issuances of our Class B Ordinary Shares would result in the dilution of your holdings. In addition, the perception that new issuances of our securities could occur, or the perception that locked-up parties will sell their securities when the lock-ups expire, could adversely affect the market price of our Class B Ordinary Shares. In connection with the initial public offering, we will enter into a lock-up agreement that prevents us, subject to certain exceptions, from offering additional shares for up to 365 days after the date of the Public Offering Prospectus, as further described in the section titled “Underwriting” therein. In addition to any adverse effects that may arise upon the expiration of these lock-up agreements, the lock-up provisions in these agreements may be waived, at any time and without notice. If the restrictions under the lock-up agreements are waived, our Class B Ordinary Shares may become available for resale, subject to applicable law, including without notice, which could reduce the market price for our Class B Ordinary Shares.

Future issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to our Class B Ordinary Shares upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of preferred shares, which could rank senior to our Class B Ordinary Shares for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the level of return you may be able to achieve from an investment in our Class B Ordinary Shares.

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by offering debt securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities, and lenders with respect to other borrowings we may make, would receive distributions of our available assets prior to any distributions being made to holders of our Class B Ordinary Shares. Moreover, if we issue preferred shares, the holders of such preferred shares could be entitled to preferences over holders of Class B Ordinary Shares in respect of the payment of dividends and the payment of liquidating distributions. Because our decision to issue debt or preferred shares in any future offering, or borrow money from lenders, will depend in part on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any such future offerings or borrowings. Holders of our Class B Ordinary Shares must bear the risk that any future offerings we conduct or borrowings we make may adversely affect the level of return, if any, they may be able to achieve from an investment in our Class B Ordinary Shares.

If our Class B Ordinary Shares become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not retain a listing on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange and if the price of our Class B Ordinary Shares is less than $5.00, our Class B Ordinary Shares could be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our Class B Ordinary Shares, and therefore shareholders may have difficulty selling their shares.

Registration of the beneficial interests in our shares will subject us and the holders of such beneficial interests to certain risks.

We will enter into a Depository Agreement, or DTC Agreement, with DTC in connection with the proposed listing and trading of the Class B Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq. In accordance with the DTC Agreement, following completion of the initial public offering of our shares, DTC’s nominee, Cede & Co., will be registered as the legal owner of certain of our shares in the Irish shareholder register that we are required to maintain pursuant to the Irish Companies Act. Under the DTC Agreement, DTC will credit the beneficial interests in those ordinary shares in book entry form to its participants. Accordingly, while the Class B Shares issued in accordance with Irish law will be listed and traded on Nasdaq, it will be the beneficial interests in such Class B Ordinary Shares that are settled and held in DTC. In accordance with market practice and system requirements of Nasdaq, the Class B Ordinary Shares will be listed and traded on Nasdaq under the category of “Common Share.” In respect of beneficial interests in ordinary shares held in DTC, such beneficial ownership would not necessarily be recognized by an Irish court. As such, investors holding beneficial interests in our Class B Ordinary Shares within DTC may have no direct rights against us and our officers and directors and may be required to obtain the cooperation of DTC in order to assert claims against us and our officers and directors, and to look solely to DTC for the payment of any dividends, for exercise of voting rights attaching to the underlying Class B Ordinary Shares and for all other rights arising in respect of the underlying Class B Ordinary Shares. We cannot guarantee that DTC will be able to execute its obligations under the DTC Agreement, including that the beneficial owners of the Class B Ordinary Shares within DTC will receive notice of general meetings in time to instruct DTC to either effect registration of their Class B Ordinary Shares or otherwise vote their Class B Ordinary Shares in the manner desired by such beneficial owners. Any such failure may, inter alia, limit the access for, delay or prevent, such beneficial shareholders being able to exercise the rights attaching to the underlying Class B Ordinary Shares.

DTC will have certain termination rights under the DTC Agreement. In the event that the DTC Agreement is terminated, we will use our reasonable best efforts to enter into a replacement agreement for purposes of permitting the uninterrupted registration of our Class B Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq. There can be no assurance, however, that it would be possible to enter into such new agreements on substantially the same terms as the DTC Agreement or at all. A termination of the DTC Agreement could, therefore, have a material and adverse effect on us and the beneficial shareholders holding their Class B Ordinary Shares within DTC. The DTC Agreement limits DTC’s liability for any loss suffered by us. DTC disclaims any liability for any loss attributable to circumstances beyond DTC’s control, including, but not limited to, errors committed by others. DTC is liable for direct losses incurred as a result of events within DTC’s control. Thus, we may not be able to recover our entire loss if DTC does not perform its obligations under the DTC Agreement.

We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Class B Ordinary Shares by the selling shareholders.

The selling shareholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by them for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by them in disposing of the shares. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our accountants.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our ordinary shares. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the near future. We may also enter into credit agreements or other borrowing arrangements in the future that will restrict our ability to declare or pay cash dividends. Any future determination to declare dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant, and will be subject to compliance with applicable laws, including the Irish Companies Act, which requires Irish companies to have distributable reserves available for distribution equal to or greater than the amount of the proposed dividend. See also “Risk Factors—Risks Related to This Offering and Ownership of Our Class B Ordinary Shares—We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our securities and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our Class B Ordinary Shares. In addition, any distribution of dividends must be in accordance with the rules and restrictions applying under Irish law.”

Brera Holdings Limited was incorporated on June 30, 2022, with an authorized share capital divided into ordinary shares of €1.00 each, or ordinary shares. The sole subscriber to the incorporation constitution of Brera Holdings Limited was Goodbody Subscriber One Limited who subscribed for one (1) ordinary share for €1.00. On July 11, 2022, the one ordinary share was transferred to Daniel Joseph McClory, and on July 14, 2022, the ordinary share was surrendered to the Company and cancelled in accordance with Irish law. On July 13, 2022, an amended constitution was adopted by Brera Holdings Limited reflecting an authorized share capital of €1.00 and $1,750,000 divided into 50,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, nominal value $0.005 per share, 250,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, nominal value $0.005 per share, 50,000,000 preferred shares, nominal value $0.005 per share, and one ordinary share with a nominal value of €1.00. On July 14, 2022, the Company issued 8,100,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 100,000 Class B Ordinary Shares as further described in “Description of Share Capital and Constitution—History of Securities Issuances.” As of the date of this prospectus, there are 7,700,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 2,205,000 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.

On July 18, 2022, we entered into a preliminary agreement for the purchase of the entire shareholdings of Brera Milano with Marco Sala, a former director of Brera Holdings, Stefano Locatelli, Alessandro Aleotti, our Chief Strategy Officer and director, Christian Rocca, Sergio Carlo Scalpelli, our Chief Executive Officer and director, and MAX SRL. We also agreed to contribute €253,821 to Brera Milano upon the final completion of the formal obligations under this agreement at the Milan Register of Companies, in order to restore Brera Milano’s share capital due to a €253,821 liability indicated by its financial statements. On July 29, 2022, we executed the final deed of share transfer, paid €253,821 for purposes of restoring Brera Milano’s share capital, and completed certain other required formalities. As a result, the share transfer became effective under Italian law and Brera Milano became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

Brera Holdings Limited re-registered as a public limited company and was renamed as Brera Holdings PLC on October 27, 2022. We refer to this reorganization by re-registration as our “Corporate Reorganization.” As a result of the Corporate Reorganization, the Class A Ordinary Shares and the Class B Ordinary Shares in Brera Holdings Limited automatically became Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, respectively, in Brera Holdings PLC.

The investors in this offering will only acquire, and this prospectus only describes the offering of, the Class B Ordinary Shares of Brera Holdings PLC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting our operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of our company as of and for the periods presented below. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. The discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, are prepared pursuant to IFRS. As permitted by the rules of the SEC for foreign private issuers, we do not reconcile our financial statements to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

With this in mind, we organized, promoted and participated in the FENIX Trophy, our newly formed non-professional pan-European football tournament recognized by UEFA. As noted above, FENIX is an acronym for “Friendly European Non-professional Innovative Xenial”. The FENIX Trophy was intended to allow Brera FC to connect with the local community, increase our fanbase, and develop important relationships with other European football clubs. We believe that discussions about the FENIX Trophy spread awareness of these tenets of social impact football. We also believe that the competition’s meaning goes beyond the game itself: It is an immersive experience meant to highlight the best practices within non-professional football: sportsmanship, bonds with the local community, sustainability, use of technology, and friendship among clubs. We therefore believe the FENIX Trophy will significantly support our social-impact football value proposition. The FENIX Trophy was inaugurated in 2021 and had its first tournament from September 2021 to June 2022. We believe that the initial competition met or exceeded our expectations of its value for our social-impact football brand. The tournament was a public relations success – the Final Eight of the FENIX Trophy tournament, which took place in Rimini, Italy in June 2022, enjoyed extensive national (SKY Sports TV) and international (ZDF) media coverage. We intend to capitalize on this success and include even more amateur clubs in the FENIX Trophy’s 2022-2023 tournament.

Our revenue currently depends on our business strategy and marketing consultancy services which we provide to commercial clients mainly in the digital media and broadband sectors, our football school services and our newly formed tournament, the FENIX Trophy. We expect that our future revenues will depend on expanding these services, acquiring professional football clubs, qualifying for or winning football tournaments and earning tournament prizes, successfully providing transfer market services, and entering into sponsorship agreements.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. We had minimal cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our net cash was approximately €19,165 and €26,957, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the year ended December 31, 2021, our net loss was approximately €95,835, €26,419, and €87,056, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020, our net profit was approximately €2,508. We estimate that we will be able to conduct our planned operations using currently available capital resources for at least the next twelve months. However, in order to meet our growth expectations, we will need to raise funds beyond our current working capital balance in order to finance future development of services and acquisitions and meet any debt obligations until such time as future profitable revenues are achieved. We will seek to fund our operations through public offerings, including the initial public offering, private equity offerings, debt financings, and government or other third-party funding. However, the Company may not be able to raise adequate funds for capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements from capital markets on acceptable terms, or at all. Advances from an officer or shareholder may likewise be unavailable. The Company’s failure to raise capital as and when needed and generate significantly higher revenues than operating expenses to achieve profitability would impact its going concern status and would have a negative impact on its financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategy and continue as a going concern. For further discussion, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Going Concern”.

On July 14, 2022, we issued 8,100,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 100,000 Class B Ordinary Shares in connection with the incorporation of Brera Holdings Limited, at an issue price of $0.005 per share, for a total consideration of $41,000. All of the shares were sold to members of our board of directors, executive officers or their affiliates and beneficial owners of more than 5% of our outstanding share capital, in reliance upon (i) the exemption contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws, or (ii) the provisions of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act.

The following table presents the amounts of Class A Ordinary Shares issued and aggregate purchase prices paid by the members of our board of directors, executive officers or their affiliates and beneficial owners of more than 5% of our outstanding share capital. The terms of these purchases were the same for all purchasers of our ordinary shares.

On September 21, 2022, Daniel Joseph McClory, our Executive Chairman and director, surrendered his 2,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and we issued 2,250,000 Class A Ordinary Shares to Pinehurst Partners LLC, whose sole beneficial owner is Daniel Joseph McClory, 200,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to Lucia Giovannetti, and 50,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to Christopher Paul Gardner, our director nominee, for $11,250, $1,000 and $250, respectively.

On October 5, 2022, Marco Sala surrendered 250,000 of his Class A Ordinary Shares, Daniel Joseph McClory surrendered 250,000 of his Class B Ordinary Shares and we issued 50,000 Class A Ordinary Shares to each of Daniel Joseph McClory and Alessandro Aleotti, our Chief Strategy Officer and director, and 50,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to each of Alberto Libanori, our director, Pietro Bersani, our director nominee, Goran Pandev, our director nominee, and Sergio Carlo Scalpelli, our Chief Executive Officer and director, for aggregate purchase prices of $250 each, and 250,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to Grant McClory, Daniel Joseph McClory’s adult son, for $1,250.

On November 11, 2022, we issued 100,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to Christopher Paul Gardner, our director nominee, and 50,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to Sergio Carlo Scalpelli, our Chief Executive Officer and director, for $500 and $250, respectively.

On July 22, 2022, September 19, 2022, October 7, 2022, October 26, 2022, and November 4, 2022, we conducted private placements of Class B Ordinary Shares and entered into certain subscription agreements with a number of (i) accredited investors as defined in Section 2(a)(15) of the Securities Act, and Rule 501 promulgated thereunder, in reliance upon the exemption contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws or (ii) non-U.S. persons made in compliance with the provisions of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. Pursuant to the agreements, we issued 1,505,000 Class B Ordinary Shares at $1.00 per share for a total of $1,505,000. The shares are subject to certain lockup provisions until 180 days after the commencement of trading of our Class B Ordinary Shares, subject to certain exceptions. See “Shares Eligible For Future Sale—Lock-Up Agreements”. Boustead Securities, LLC, or Boustead, acted as placement agent in this private placement. Pursuant to our engagement letter agreement with Boustead, in addition to payments of a success fee of $105,350, or 7% of the total purchase price of the shares sold in the private placement, and a non-accountable expense allowance of $15,050, or 1% of the total purchase price of the shares sold in the private placement, we agreed to issue Boustead a five-year warrant to purchase up to 105,350 Class B Ordinary Shares, exercisable on a cashless basis, with an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment.

On August 16, 2022, we signed a sponsorship agreement with Fudbalski Klub Akademija Pandev, or Akademija Pandev, wherein we contributed €70,000 to Akademija Pandev in exchange for their use of the Brera trademarks during the 2022-23 football season. Goran Pandev, our director nominee, is the founder and owner of Akademija Pandev, a North Macedonian football club founded in 2010, that plays in the Macedonian First League. For the entirety of 2022-23 season, Akademija Pandev will provide Brera brand awareness and will use our trademarks on their game shirts, on their wall poster campaign in the city of Strumica, on their banners, including those used in the sports center of Goran Pandev, as well as a mutually agreed upon joint communication both to the Macedonian press and on the club’s official media channels. The sponsorship agreement is non-exclusive and does not automatically renew. On November 25, 2022, we entered into an extension to the sponsorship agreement in which we agreed to extend the term of the sponsorship agreement to December 31, 2023, and to pay Akademija Pandev an additional €30,000.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic. On March 11, 2020, the Italian government announced a €25 billion (approximately $28,295,000,000) package to help Italians through the health crisis. To date, there have been a large number of temporary business closures, quarantines and a general reduction in consumer activity in Italy.

The spread of the virus in many countries continues to adversely impact global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets and supply chains. The pandemic has had, and could have a significantly greater, material adverse effect on the Italian economy as a whole, as well as the local economy where we conduct our operations. The pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result for an extended period, in significant disruption of global financial markets, which may reduce our ability to access capital in the future, which could negatively affect our liquidity.

offering, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we will be permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of at least $1.235 billion; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of the initial public offering; (iii) the date on which we have, during the preceding three year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act, which could occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. Once we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will not be entitled to the exemptions provided in the JOBS Act discussed above.

The following table sets forth key components of our results of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

The principal activities of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were the provision of consultancy services. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was €131,521 and €150,821, respectively, representing a decrease of 12.8%. The decrease was due to a drop in the total amounts of the sales contracts of the Company’s consulting services for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to June 30, 2021.

Cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was €29,768 and €34,480, respectively, representing a decrease of 13.7%. The decrease was due to a decrease in the Company’s costs of performing consulting services, which aligned with the decrease in revenue from these services.

General and administrative expenses consisted of advertising, director remuneration and benefits, rental expenses, utilities, depreciation, travel and entertainment and other miscellaneous expenses. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was €192,376 and €114,476, respectively, an increase of 68.0%. The increase was mainly due to (i) increased depreciation; (ii) increased advertising and marketing expense; and (iii) increased other administrative expenses.

Operating (loss) gain for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was €(90,623) and €1,865, respectively. The change was mainly due to increased general and administrative expenses.

Other income (expenses) mainly consisted of miscellaneous income or expenses relating to our consulting services. Other income (expenses) income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was €5,111 and €(23,134), respectively. The change was mainly due to increased miscellaneous income relating to the Company’s consulting services.

Finance costs consisted of loan interest expenses from the Company’s small and medium enterprises guarantee fund loan, a loan from a shareholder and the interest expense on lease liabilities in relation to the rental of office and vehicles. Finance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was €1,686 and €863, respectively, an increase of 95.4%. The increase was due to the increase in interest expense on lease liabilities in relation to the rental of office and vehicles for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Loss before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was €87,198 and €22,132, respectively, an increase of 294%. The increase was mainly due to the increase of general and administrative expenses and finance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was €8,637 and €4,287, respectively, an increase of 101.5%. The estimated increase was due to the increase of taxable profits in Italy after consideration of local tax requirements for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was €95,835 and €26,419, respectively, an increase of 262.8%. The increase was due to the increase in general and administrative expenses and income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The following table sets forth key components of our results of operations during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The principal activities of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were the provision of consultancy services. Revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was €420,167 and €214,756, respectively, representing an increase of 95.4%. The increase was due to an increase in the number of clients of the Company’s consulting services, and a related increase in the number of the Company’s consulting projects.

Cost of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was €110,588 and €74,546, respectively, representing an increase of 48.3%. The increase was due to an increase in the Company’s costs of performing consulting services, which aligned with the increase in revenue from these services.

General and administrative expenses consisted of advertising, director remuneration and benefits, rental expenses, utilities, depreciation, travel and entertainment and other miscellaneous expenses. General and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was €316,669 and €150,217, respectively, an increase of 110.8%. The increase was due to (i) increased depreciation; (ii) increased sponsorship expenses; and (iii) increased rental expenses.

Operating losses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was €7,090 and €10,007, respectively, a decrease of 29.1%. The decrease was due to the increased gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020.

Other (expenses) income mainly consisted of miscellaneous expenses or income relating to our consulting services. Other (expenses) income for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was €(47,942) and €21,118, respectively. The change was mainly due to increased indirect costs for our consulting services.

Finance costs consisted of loan interest expenses from the Company’s small and medium enterprises guarantee fund loan and a loan from a shareholder. Finance costs for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was €2,693 and €367, respectively, an increase of 633.8%. The increase was due to the increase of the outstanding loan amounts for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020.

(Loss) profit before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was €(57,725) and €10,744, respectively. The change was mainly due to the increase of general and administrative expenses and other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020.

Provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was €29,331 and €8,236, respectively, an increase of 256.1%. The increase was due to the increase of revenue and gross profit margin during these years.

Net (loss) profit for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was €(87,056) and €2,508, respectively. The change from net profit to net loss was due to the increase in general and administrative expenses and income taxes during these years.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of €19,165 (approximately $20,064) and €26,957 (approximately $30,512), respectively. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through revenue generated from operations and loans.

Management has prepared estimates of operations and believes that sufficient funds will be generated from operations to fund our operations and to service our debt obligations for at least the next twelve months. We may, however, in the future require additional cash resources due to changing business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our business, or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

The impact of COVID-19 on our business has been considered in these assumptions; however, it is too early to know the full impact of COVID-19 or its timing on a return to more normal operations.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under which we are expected to be able to realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities in the normal course of business.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. However, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. We had minimal cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our net cash was approximately €19,165 and €26,957, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and year ended December 31, 2021, our net loss was approximately €95,835, €26,419, and €87,056, respectively. As a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has plans to seek additional capital through public offerings, including the initial public offering, private equity offerings, debt financings, and government or other third-party funding. These plans, if successful, will mitigate the factors which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

However, the sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

On May 20, 2020, we entered into a loan through the Guarantee Fund for Small and Medium-Size Enterprises under the European Guarantee Fund Programme with Banca del Mezzogiorno - Mediocredito Centrale S.p.A. for €25,000. As disclosed in Note 11 of both the June and December financial statements, the monthly interest rate is 0.0625% and the annualized interest rate is 0.75% per annum. The loan term is 6 years and repayment of principal begins 2 years from the loan drawdown date.

On October 28, 2021, we entered into a loan with our Chief Executive Officer and director, Sergio Carlo Scalpelli, in the amount of €20,000. As disclosed in Note 13 of both the June and December financial statements, the loan is interest-free and with repayment scheduled on March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2022, in the amount of €7,000, €7,000 and €6,000, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Mr. Scalpelli waived the repayment schedule, and the repayment date of the full amount was rescheduled to September 30, 2022. The outstanding balance of the loan amounted to €20,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021. The full amount of the loan was repaid to Mr. Scalpelli on September 30, 2022.

The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statement periods presented in this prospectus.

To date the Company has financed its operations primarily through revenue generated from operations and loans.

Net cash provided by operating activities was €35,007 and €12,528 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the increase in receipt in advance in relation to the Company’s consultancy services during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Net cash provided by operating activities was €26,849 and €28,905 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change was mainly due to the decrease of operating profit before working capital.

Net cash used in investing activities was €1,209 and €11,641 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was due to less purchases of equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Net cash used in investing activities was €16,353 and €0 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was due to greater purchases of equipment during 2021 compared to 2020.

Net cash used in provided by financing activities was €41,590 and €19,071 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the increase of payments for lease liabilities.

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities was €(36,911) and €23,264 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change was mainly due to the increase of payments for lease liabilities.

Please see “Description of Share Capital and Constitution—History of Securities Issuances” for a description of our recent private placements of securities.

Other than indicated above, on June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we did not have other long-term debt obligations, capital (finance) lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or other long-term liabilities reflected on our statements of financial position.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company made €1,209 and €16,353, respectively, in capital expenditures. We do not have any contractual obligations for ongoing capital expenditures at this time.

We entered into lease agreements for office space, garage, motor vehicles and office equipment with expiration dates ranging from 2022 to 2027. The Company’s commitments for minimum lease payments under these leases as of June 30, 2022 and as of December 31, 2021 are as follows:

We are currently not a defendant to any material legal proceedings, investigation, or claims.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates as well as, to a lesser extent, inflation and credit and concentration risks. This note provides information about our exposure to each of these risks, our objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these consolidated financial statements.

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Our primary interest rate relates to interest-bearing long-term borrowings. It is estimated that a 50-basis point change in interest rates will affect our loss before tax by €125, €125 and €125 as of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effect of rising interest rates on our financial condition is expected to be negligible given that we do not have material debt or accounts receivable.

The majority of our cash flows, financial assets and liabilities are denominated in euros, which is our functional and reporting currency. We are exposed to financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of those rates. Currency risk is limited to the proportion of our business transactions denominated in currencies other than the euro, primarily for capital expenditures, potential future debt, if any, and various operating expenses such as salaries and professional fees. We do not currently use derivative financial instruments to reduce our foreign exchange exposure and management does not believe our current exposure to currency risk to be significant.

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $6.2 million in our initial public offering, assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us. Assuming that we convert the full amount of the net proceeds from the initial public offering into euros, a 10.0% appreciation of the dollar against the euro, from the exchange rate of €0.9552 per $1.00 as of June 30, 2022 to a rate of €1.0507 per $1.00, will result in an increase of approximately €588,000 in our net proceeds from the initial public offering. Conversely, a 10.0% depreciation of the dollar against the euro, from the exchange rate of €0.9552 per $1.00 as of June 30, 2022 to a rate of €0.8597 per $1.00, will result in a decrease of €588,000 in our net proceeds from the initial public offering.

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to us if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from our cash held with banks and other financial intermediaries.

The carrying amount of the cash represented the maximum credit exposure which amounted to €19,165, €26,957 and €53,372 as of June 30, 2022 and as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We had assessed no significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition based on the availability of funds, the regulatory and economic environment of the financial intermediary. As a result, the loss allowance recognized during the period was limited to 12 months expected credit losses. Based on historical information, and adjusted for forward-looking expectations, we had assessed a zero loss allowance on this cash balance as of June 30, 2022 and as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Two customers accounted for 49% of our sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and three customers accounted for 75% and 98% of our sales for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Accounts receivable from these customers was €35,047, €71,038 and €81,385 as of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The following discussion relates to critical accounting policies for our company. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements:

Information about judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes to the financial statements accompanying this prospectus.

The acquisition of Brera Milano was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with the guidance in paragraphs B19–B27 of IFRS 3 for reverse acquisitions. Brera Milano was determined to be the accounting acquirer based upon the terms of the acquisition and other factors including: (i) former Brera Milano shareholders owning approximately 35% of the combined company (on a fully diluted basis) immediately following the closing of the acquisition and are the largest shareholders’ party of the Company, (ii) former Brera Milano shareholder, Alessandro Aleotti, being appointed as the Chief Strategy Officer and a director of the Company, and (iii) former Brera Milano shareholder, Sergio Carlo Scalpelli, being appointed as the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company; (iv) shareholders of the Company other than the former Brera Milano shareholders continuing as passive investors; and (v) the combined company continuing the football related business with Brera Milano shareholders being the major subject matter experts of this industry in the Company and having the power to direct the development and operations of the combined company after the acquisition.

The Company is a shell corporation established in 2022 with no operations from incorporation date up to date. The Company has issued shares to the existing shareholders, and it is not qualified as a business under the definition of IFRS 3. With reference to IFRS 3 Appendix B, this would not constitute as a business combination since there is no substantive change in the reporting entity or its assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated financial statements represent a continuation of the financial statement of Brera Milano and the assets and liabilities are presented at their historical carrying values.

Information about assumptions and estimates as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 that have high risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year is included in the following notes to the financial statements accompanying this prospectus.

Brera FC began its football activity by taking over a sports club in the fourth division – the Italian football pyramid is made up of nine categories – and immediately established itself as an alternative to the two mainstream Milanese clubs: Football Club Internazionale Milano, or Inter Milan, and Associazione Calcio Milan, or AC Milan. In its 20-year history, Brera FC’s alternative vision of football has been validated by its ability to manage locally-meaningful and socially-impactful initiatives, including reopening the ancient Arena Civica stadium in Milan to football, hiring of Milanese football icons as coaches, including Walter Zenga, and focusing on a message of social integration and acceptance. Since being founded, our club’s DNA includes initiating social impact football projects and innovative uses for football, having adopted the same name as the Brera “artists’ quarter” of Milan, including its logo being designed by the director of the Brera Academy of Fine Arts.

We are focused on bottom-up value creation from sports clubs and talent outside mainstream markets, innovation-powered business growth, and socially-impactful outcomes. To that end, we are developing our “Global Football Group” portfolio of professional football clubs. Our Global Football Group will be modeled on the collaborative, brand-aligned holding company structure of Manchester, England-based City Football Group Limited. Under our Global Football Group structure, we intend to acquire top-division football teams in Africa, South America, Eastern Europe, and potentially other emerging markets, and give them access to the global transfer market. We likewise expect that acquisitions of Eastern European and other non-mainstream market teams will enable us to compete and potentially win significant revenue in UEFA and potentially other regional competitions. We believe that Brera FC’s brand of social impact football and our Global Football Group portfolio of local football club favorites will also allow us to gain increasing sponsorship revenue. We intend to expand on our noncompetitive children’s football school offerings, which we expect will generate significant revenue as well as enhance our social impact football brand and related value. Based on these and other innovative initiatives, we expect that our experience with innovative capital-raising and revenue-generating activities will draw further revenue in the form of consulting opportunities from football clubs, associations, investors and others.

We were incorporated pursuant to the laws of Ireland as Brera Holdings Limited, a private company limited by shares, on June 30, 2022, to become the holding company for Brera Milano S.r.l., an Italian limited liability company (società a responsabilità limitata). Brera Milano, the operating company and subsidiary of Brera Holdings Limited, was formed on December 20, 2016, and was named KAP S.r.l. until September 9, 2022. KAP was acquired by us on July 29, 2022. KAP was renamed Brera Milano S.r.l. on September 9, 2022. Brera Holdings Limited re-registered as a public limited company on October 27, 2022 and was renamed as Brera Holdings PLC. See the section above titled “Corporate Reorganization” for more information.

On July 18, 2022, we entered into a preliminary agreement for the purchase of all the shares of Brera Milano with Marco Sala, a former director of Brera Holdings, Stefano Locatelli, Alessandro Aleotti, our Chief Strategy Officer and director, Christian Rocca, Sergio Carlo Scalpelli, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, and MAX SRL. We also agreed to contribute €253,821 to Brera Milano upon the final completion of the formal obligations under this agreement at the Milan Register of Companies, in order to restore Brera Milano’s share capital due to a €253,821 liability indicated by its financial statements. On July 29, 2022, we executed the final deed of share transfer, paid €253,821 for purposes of restoring Brera Milano’s share capital, and completed certain other required formalities. As a result, the share transfer became effective under Italian law, and Brera Milano became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

On July 13, 2022, Brera Milano entered into a private deed with Alessandro Aleotti and Leonardo Aleotti in which Brera Milano agreed to purchase the trademarks “Brera” and “FENIX Trophy” for the cost of the trademarks’ registration.

On July 13, 2022, Brera Milano entered into a private deed with FCD Brera in which FCD Brera was granted the non-exclusive license to use the trademarks “Brera” and “FENIX Trophy” in connection with its football activities. Under the agreement, FCD Brera agreed to carry out certain requested sports activities relating to the trademarks in exchange for fees to be agreed between the parties. Costs attributable to the sports activities relating to the trademarks will be borne by FCD Brera, and revenues attributable to such activities will be recognized by Brera Milano. If appropriate fees cannot be agreed to in exchange for the requested sports activities, Brera Milano may decline to carry out the activities. Any costs that are sustained by FCD Brera in carrying out agreed-to sports activities in the manner requested by Brera Milano may be expensed to Brera Milano for reimbursement. FCD Brera may otherwise continue to operate independently of Brera Milano and the Company.

The following diagram depicts our organizational structure, including our subsidiary, following the completion of the initial public offering. This diagram includes our controlling shareholders of Class A Ordinary Shares, as a group, current shareholders of Class B Ordinary Shares, as a group, and the public shareholders that will receive Class B Ordinary Shares in the initial public offering, as a group. The Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares holdings of these shareholders is also depicted.

Football is one of the most popular spectator sports on Earth. Global follower interest in football has enabled the sport to commercialize its activities through sponsorship, retail, merchandising, apparel and product licensing, new media and mobile, broadcasting, and match day contests. According to a report published by Allied Market Research (“Global football market by type, manufacturing process and distribution channel: global opportunity analysis and industry forecast, 2021–2027,” May 2021), the global football market was valued at $1.8 billion in 2019, and it is projected to reach $3.8 billion by 2027, registering a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 18.3% from 2021 to 2027. Europe was the largest market and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 17.7% during the forecast period.

The effect that football and widely publicized events can have on economic development, social impact, and large-scale growth, are well established. Based on a study of the 2006 FIFA World Cup hosted by Germany (https://www.supplier.io/blog/economic-impact-of-hosting-a-world-cup), the overall financial impact to Germany was €2.86 billion ($3.31 billion) with €104 million ($120 million) being direct tax income generated, 50,000 additional jobs during the eight months before and during the event, and it boosted the German GDP by 0.3%. This impact also extended to the construction, public utility, transportation, and tourism industries.

While the FIFA World Cup’s economic impact is undeniable, we believe that there has been a clear trend in all enterprises, including football teams, toward the need to demonstrate an awareness of social issues. We believe that teams that do not demonstrate such awareness will not succeed, as supported by the recent experience of the short-lived European Super League in 2021. As described by a National Law Review article (“Off Pitch – What the Super League Fiasco Can Teach Us About ESG,” April 30, 2022), on April 18, 2021, twelve elite football teams announced a break with UEFA to form the European Super League, financed by JP Morgan Chase, which would offer mid-week matches between member teams in addition to the teams’ regular league schedules. The twelve initial members were to be permanent league members, with a handful of additional qualifying teams that would not have permanent membership. The member teams expected to reap significant earnings for participating. Also, the Super League teams would play each other instead of participating in UEFA tournaments. Once announced, the backlash was immediate and fierce. Fans, players, coaches, excluded teams, and, perhaps most importantly, the UEFA felt betrayed – it appeared that no effort had been made to solicit, much less consider, input from anyone outside the Super League’s leadership. By April 20, 2021, fewer than three days after its public debut, the Super League succumbed to the backlash, particularly potential sanctions from UEFA, and it appears to be almost entirely disbanded. We believe that the European Super League demonstrates how excluding all but the biggest money-making teams from a competition will not “save football,” as its proponents argued, but instead shows that the football industry needs to make a commitment to the interests of the whole football community.

In June 2021, Brera FC formed the FENIX Trophy, a non-professional pan-European football tournament recognized by UEFA, which inaugurally ran from September 2021 to June 2022 and was intended to allow Brera FC to connect with the local community, increase our fanbase, and develop important relationships with other football clubs. The FENIX Trophy’s emphasis is on promoting inclusive fellowship among, enthusiasm for, and commercial opportunities around European football clubs, instead of exclusive blockbuster events like the European Super League, with the slogan, “making friends, not millionaires.” Based in part on favorable press coverage of the FENIX Trophy, such as the article by German media outlet Deutsche Welle (“FENIX Trophy: Amateur clubs competing in alternative European Super League,” September 23, 2021), we believe that our vision of the future direction of the European football industry is shared by many.

We also believe that the European football market has great unmet demand for underutilized player talent both in Eastern Europe and markets outside UEFA. We believe clubs in such regions can provide much-needed opportunities with UEFA and other football competition prizes, the global transfer market, sponsorships, and other innovative projects, due to lower costs of operations, and, in some cases, substantial existing local and global fanbases, iconic local stadia, or other attributes.

We further believe that the European football industry is also signaling a need for socially-impactful ways to generate much-needed capital and revenues. We believe that our founders’ experience in accessing the public capital markets can also be applied to football club operators, and gaining sponsors, fans and followers. We plan on offering initiatives such as noncompetitive football schools and occupational-training courses to enable prison inmates to become referees, will be recognized as part of a credible, revenue-generative basis for social-impact football consulting services for under-capitalized clubs. In addition, each acquisition or operation will be conducted with respect for local partners, traditions and cultures while promoting our social impact mission. For example, we plan to develop a women’s football section in every country we acquire a club in, to increase awareness and social impact.

We intend to be a leader in guiding the industry toward a more inclusive approach to professional football, through the use of unconventional routes and undiscovered markets with the aim to unleash their full potential.

Building on the Brera FC brand and existing network of business relationships, we will utilize Brera Milano’s more than ten years of knowhow in communications, marketing, and consulting capabilities, to deliver effective, monetizable projects. We expect to leverage our knowledge in talent training by providing the following revenue-generating activities and services:

We work in tandem with others to provide services and products and expect to develop other collaborative relationships. Our current collaborations are:

We believe that the following competitive strengths contribute to our success and differentiate us from our competitors:

Our football operations are primarily comprised of the following activities: Our Global Football Group, our noncompetitive football school, and the FENIX Trophy (and its related activities).

Our main football operation is focused on the management and development of clubs in our Global Football Group’s portfolio. Our first football club, Brera FC, was acquired in July 2022. Over the next two years we expect to acquire clubs based in Eastern Europe, Africa and South America. Specifically, we expect that our next several club acquisitions will occur in North Macedonia, Mozambique and Argentina.

Brera FC plays in the amateur Italian football leagues. We believe that the team presents a compelling social impact story. On October 7, 2022, the Internet Marketing Association at its IMPACT 22 Conference named Brera FC as its award recipient for “Social Impact Through Soccer,” recognizing the Company’s focus at an international level with this distinction. We believe that the additional awareness that the IMPACT Award may create for the Company will better position it for approaching corporate and foundation sponsors for our various global initiatives. Over most of its 20-year history, it has been comprised of players of a number of different nationalities who live in Milan for various reasons. We believe the appeal of this range of different identities, combined with an inclusive and unconventional approach, makes Brera FC a newsworthy football club and particularly suitable for supporting communications projects aimed at increasing Brera FC’s fan community and sponsorship base. While the team participates in the local Italian amateur league, it serves in a support role to our primary revenue-generating services and is not expected to be our prospective primary football operation.

The clubs that we have targeted for acquisition, the North Macedonia club will start their next season in the first division, and we expect the Mozambique club to start their next season in the second division, which are the highest and second-highest football league in each country, respectively. We expect that these clubs will bear the Brera brand upon acquisition. We expect that these acquisitions will present significant economic possibilities for talent management and market transfer opportunities due to the target clubs’ low annual maintenance costs and historical connections to Western Europe.

We further expect to acquire the “gerenciamento” (management) of a third division club, the third highest football league, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where we expect to find and provide access to some of the best talents in South America. Among other attributes, the target club has rights to a 35,000-seat stadium with an average of 15,000 attendees per game. Due to the club’s own significant historical brand appeal, as well as potential regulatory restrictions, we do not plan to change the club’s name, but expect to utilize other ways to highlight our brand’s association with it.

We will provide all acquired clubs with their own Italian professional technical and management personnel from our base in Milan, with supervision from our headquarters. In addition, each acquisition or operation will be conducted with respect for local partners, while promoting our social impact mission. For example, we plan to develop a women’s football section in every country we acquire a club in, to increase awareness and social impact.

We are also exploring other opportunities to enlarge our football club portfolio.

We believe one of our most popular assets is our noncompetitive football school. The school has been active for 16 years, and we believe it radically innovates the traditional logic of football schools by focusing on children and their engagement with adult figures and role models, including coaches and parents, with the aim of enhancing the playful dimension of football. This project has had continuous growth over the years and is highly appreciated by the local communities. Currently there are 350 children among our two locations: Arena Civica and Brera Football Village.

Brera FC organized, promoted and participated in the FENIX Trophy, our newly formed non-professional pan-European football tournament recognized by UEFA. As noted above, FENIX is an acronym for “Friendly European Non-professional Innovative Xenial”. The FENIX Trophy was intended to allow Brera FC to connect with the local community, increase our fanbase, and develop important relationships with other European football clubs. We believe that discussions about the FENIX Trophy spread awareness of these tenets of social impact football. We also believe that the competition’s meaning goes beyond the game itself: It is an immersive experience meant to highlight the best practices within non-professional football: sportsmanship, bonds with the local community, sustainability, use of technology, and friendship among clubs. We therefore believe the FENIX Trophy will significantly support our social-impact football value proposition. The FENIX Trophy was inaugurated in 2021 and had its first tournament from September 2021 to June 2022. We believe that the initial competition met or exceeded our expectations of its value for our social-impact football brand.

As the official organizer of the FENIX Trophy, Brera FC and seven other iconic amateur clubs in Europe took part in the most recent competition. The seven other clubs were: AFC DWS (Amsterdam, Netherlands), AKS Zly (Warsaw, Poland), AS Lodigiani Calcio 1972 (Rome, Italy), CD Cuenca-Mestallistes 1925 (Valencia, Spain), FC United of Manchester (Manchester, UK), HFC Falke (Hamburg, Germany), and Prague Raptors FC (Prague, Czech Republic). FC United of Manchester won 2-0 against Prague Raptors FC to become the first tournament champion.

FC United of Manchester’s status as an iconic amateur club began with its founding. Founded in 2005 by disaffected supporters of Manchester United catalyzed by the takeover of Manchester United by American businessman Malcolm Glazer, the club operates as a community benefit society owned by 5,000 of its supporters. Each owner can vote on how the club is run, including voting for board members, uniform designs and ticket prices. This type of bottom-up value creation aligns with the Brera FC brand.

The tournament was a public relations success – the Final Eight of the FENIX Trophy tournament, which took place in Rimini, Italy in June 2022, enjoyed extensive national (SKY Sports TV) and international (ZDF) media coverage. We intend to capitalize on this success and include even more amateur clubs in the FENIX Trophy’s 2022-2023 tournament.

The Company competes in the nascent category of innovative social-impact football, and as such, we believe its world-leading business initiatives and emerging models transcend the historical sport team metrics of match attendance and player transfer fees. As a result, we do not believe there is any single market for which we have a well-defined group of competitors. The key metrics will be corporate, government and foundation sponsorships and grants; merchandising, both domestic and international; youth football academy fees and participants; player transfer fees; and tournament organization, hosting and sponsorship, among others.

We believe that our closest competitor is City Football Group Limited, or CFG, which is a holding company that administers association football clubs. CFG was founded in 2013 and is owned by three organizations: the Abu Dhabi United Group owns 78%, the Chinese firms China Media Capital and CITIC Capital own 12% and the American private-equity firm Silver Lake owns 10%. CFG derives its name from Manchester City Football Club, or Manchester City F.C., which is its flagship football club and acts as the club’s parent company. Manchester City F.C. is an English football club based in Bradford, Manchester that competes in the Premier League, which is the top level of the English football league system. In addition to Manchester City F.C., CFG owns 10 other clubs: New York City Football Club (USA), Melbourne City Football Club (Australia), Yokohama F. Marinos (Japan), Montevideo City Torque (Uruguay), Girona Futbol Club, S.A.D. (Spain), Lommel SK (Belgium), Espérance Sportive Troyes Aube Champagne (France), Sichuan Jiuniu Football Club (China), Mumbai City Football Club (India) and Palermo Football Club (Italy), plus it has two partner clubs, Vannes Olympique Club (France) and Club Bolívar (Bolivia). To the Company’s knowledge, City Football Group is not organized to take on funding from the public capital markets and has not attempted an initial public offering of shares and listing on a global stock exchange, such as Nasdaq.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to be efficient in all aspects of the business and achieve the appropriate cost structure. Some of our competitors have economic resources greater than ours and may have lower cost structures allowing them to better withstand volatility within the industry and throughout the economy as a whole, while retaining significantly greater operating and financial flexibility than our company.

We consider intellectual property to be important to the operation of our business, and critical to driving growth in our commercial revenue, particularly with respect to sponsorship revenue. Certain of our commercial partners have rights to use our intellectual property. In order to protect our brand, we generally have contractual rights to approve uses of our intellectual property by our commercial partners. For example, Brera FC has a non-exclusive license to use the trademarks “Brera FC” and “FENIX Trophy.”

We consider our brand to be a key business asset and therefore have a portfolio of Brera FC related registered trademarks and trademark applications, with an emphasis on seeking and maintaining trademark registrations for the words “Brera FC”, “FENIX Trophy” and the club crest. We have applied in Italy and are planning to apply across Europe as well as select countries in Africa, Asia, and North and South America. We also actively procure copyright protection and copyright ownership of materials such as literary works, logos, photographic images and audio-visual footage.

Enforcement of our trademark rights is important in maintaining the value of the Brera FC brand. While it would be cost-prohibitive to take action in all instances, our aim is to consistently reduce the number of Brera FC-related trademark infringements by carrying out coordinated, cost-effective enforcement actions following investigation of suspected trademark infringements. Enforcement action takes a variety of forms, such as working with authorities to seize counterfeit goods and stop the activities of unauthorized sellers to taking direct legal action against infringers, for example, by issuing cease and desist letters.

In relation to materials for which copyright protection is available (such as literary works, logos, photographic images and audio-visual footage), our current practice is generally to secure copyright ownership where possible and appropriate. For example, where we are working with third parties and copyright protected materials are being created, we generally try to secure an assignment of the relevant copyright as part of the commercial contract. However, it is not always possible to secure copyright ownership. For example, in the case of audio-visual footage relating to football competitions, copyright will generally vest in the competition organizer and any exploitation by Brera FC of such footage will be the subject of a license from the competition organizer.

Our subsidiary Brera Milano’s corporate office is located at Via Ripamonti 1/3, 20122 Milan MI, Italy. We lease this facility pursuant to a six-year lease agreement, dated April 1, 2021, which will renew for subsequent six-year terms until terminated by either party upon twelve (12) months’ notice. The lease provides for a base rent of €65,000 annually, subject to yearly increases.

Our Irish holding company’s registered office is located at Connaught House, 5th Floor, One Burlington Road, Dublin 4, DO4 C5Y6, Ireland.

We believe that all our properties have been adequately maintained, are generally in good condition, and are suitable and adequate for our businesses.

As of November 30, 2022, we had no employees and two independent contractors and our subsidiary, Brera Milano, had no employees and no independent contractors. None of our employees are represented by labor unions, and we believe that we have an excellent relationship with our employees.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

At the top of the worldwide football hierarchy is FIFA, Fédération Internationale de Football Association, whose rules must be followed by all member football associations organizations. FIFA’s main objectives are to continuously improve the game of football and globally promote it, to organize international competitions, to draw up regulations and provisions governing the game of football and related matters and ensure their enforcement, to control every type of association football by taking appropriate steps to prevent infringements of the FIFA Statutes, regulations or decisions of FIFA or of the Laws of the Game, to promote integrity, ethics and fair play with a view to preventing all methods or practices, such as corruption, doping or match manipulation, which might jeopardize the integrity of matches, competitions, players, officials and member associations or give rise to abuse of association football.

FIFA’s rules and regulations are mainly contained within (i) the FIFA Statutes, regulations for FIFA’s governing system, and (ii) the Laws of the Game, codified rules of association football. The FIFA Statutes provide the necessary means to resolve disputes that may arise between or among member associations, confederations, clubs, officials and players. The Council of FIFA regulates the status of players and the provisions for their transfer, as well as questions relating to these matters, in particular the encouragement of player training by clubs and the protection of representative teams, in the form of special regulations. All bodies and officials must observe the Statutes, regulations, decisions and Code of Ethics of FIFA in their activities. Every person and organization involved in the game of football is obliged to observe the Statutes and regulations of FIFA as well as the principles of fair play. Each member association must play association football in compliance with the Laws of the Game issued by the International Football Association Board, or IFAB. IFAB is a separate organization from FIFA, but FIFA is represented on the board and holds 50% of the voting power. Only IFAB may enact and alter the Laws of the Game.

Member associations from the same continent or region have formed the following six confederations, which are recognized by FIFA: (1) Asian Football Confederation – AFC; (2) Confederation of African Football – CAF; (3) Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football – CONCACAF; (4) Oceania Football Confederation – OFC; (5) South American Football Confederation – CONMEBOL; and (6) Union of European Football Associations – UEFA. Each confederation must comply with and enforce compliance with the Statutes, regulations and decisions of FIFA, must organize its own interclub and international competitions in compliance with the international match calendar, must ensure that international leagues or any other such groups of clubs or leagues shall not be formed without its consent and the approval of FIFA, must set up the bodies necessary to fulfil the duties incumbent upon it and must procure the funds necessary to fulfil its duties.

FIFA requires each member association to manage its affairs independently and without undue influence from third parties. Clubs, leagues or any other groups affiliated with a member association must be subordinate to and recognized by that member association. The member association’s statutes must define the scope of authority and the rights and duties of these groups. The statutes and regulations of these groups must be approved by the member association. Particularly relevant is the provision for which every member association must ensure that its affiliated clubs can take all decisions on any matters regarding membership independently of any external body. This obligation applies regardless of an affiliated club’s corporate structure. In any case, the member association must ensure that neither a natural nor a legal person (including holding companies and subsidiaries) exercises control in any manner whatsoever (in particular through a majority shareholding, a majority of voting rights, a majority of seats on the board of directors or any other form of economic dependence or control, etc.) over more than one club whenever the integrity of any match or competition could be jeopardized.

The UEFA, as stated above, governs all European football, including Italian football, which is in turn governed by the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio – FIGC. FIGC is the governing body of football in Italy, which carries out its functions in harmony with the resolutions and guidelines of FIFA and UEFA, in full technical, organizational and management autonomy. The rules dictated by FIGC are called NOIF (Norme Organizzative Interne della FIGC) and govern all aspects of Italian football: the registration of athletes, technicians, match officials, managers and other subjects of the federal system. Additionally, referees are part of FIGC and are divided into categories provided for by the internal regulations of the Italian Referees Association, or AIA, which independently regulates their membership and activity. All Italian football clubs are committed to exclusively using the sports justice system and cannot turn to the Ordinary Judicial Authority for the resolution of any disputes.

European association football associations have detailed rules governing and restricting the ownership, merger, acquisition, and sale of Italian teams and players, and certain transactions require association approval. Particularly relevant is NOIF provision 16 bis., which prohibits any person from controlling, directly or indirectly, more than one football company in the professional league and, if following the transition of a football company from the amateur league to the professional league any person controls more than one, the person must terminate control of one of the companies no later than 5 days before the deadline set by federal regulations for filing the application for admission to the relevant professional championship.

Mergers, acquisitions, sales and demergers are also subject to specific rules, such as NOIF provision 20. The merger between two or more companies, the demerger of a company, the capital contribution of the sports company into a company wholly owned by the transferring company, carried out in compliance with current regulations and laws, must be approved by the President of the FIGC. In the event of a spin-off of a company or transfer of the sports company to another company wholly owned by the transferring company, approval can be granted, provided that the unity of the entire sports company is preserved and the regularity and the continuation of sporting activities. In the event of an approved merger, the company that remains after the merger remains affiliated with FIGC and retains the highest sporting title and seniority of affiliation from the companies involved in the merger. In the event of an approved demerger, only one spun-off company can be affiliated with FIGC; therefore, at the time of the spin-off, the company that will be affiliated with the FIGC is decided and the sporting title and seniority of affiliation of the original company are attributed to this company. In the event of an approved capital contribution of the sports company into a company wholly owned by the transferring company, the company which then owns the sports company is the company that is affiliated with FIGC and the sporting title and seniority of affiliation of the transferring company are attributed to this company. The merger, demerger and capital contribution of a sports company into a company wholly owned by the transferring company are permitted under the following conditions: the companies subject to the merger, the company subject to the spin-off or the transferring company are affiliated with FIGC for at least two sporting seasons; in the professional field, all the companies involved in the merger, or in the spin-off or transfer must have their registered office, except in cases of absolute exception, in the same Municipality or in neighboring Municipalities. In the amateur and sector for youth and school activities, the companies involved in the merger, or the spin-off or transfer must be based in the same Province, or in neighboring Municipalities of different Provinces or Regions. In the event that the aforementioned transactions are carried out between companies in the professional sector and companies in the amateur and sector for youth and school, the criterion established in the professional field applies; between companies that, in the two previous sports seasons, have not transferred their registered office to another municipality, have not been the subject of mergers, spin-offs or company transfers.

As for the registration of players, the players are registered with FIGC upon a signed request and sent through the company for which they intend to carry out the sporting activity, by 31 March of each year. “Young”, “young amateurs” and “young series” players can be registered after this deadline. The registration request is drawn up by the Leagues, the Youth and School Activities Sector, the Divisions and the Committees, duly signed by the legal representative of the company and by the player and, in the case of minors, by one of the two parents if the membership lasts one year and by both parents if the membership lasts for several years. The declaration of the player must be attached to the registration request certifying the existence or non-existence of any previous registrations with foreign football federations, i.e., federations other than the FIGC. The clubs that play in the professional championships can freely register players from or coming from foreign Federations, as long as they are citizens of countries belonging to the European Union, or EU. To this end, applications for membership must be accompanied by a certificate of citizenship. The rules on membership for professional clubs’ players who are citizens of non-EU countries are issued annually by the Federal Council. The clubs of the National Amateur League can request the registration of only two footballers who are citizens of non-EU countries for male activity who have been registered for clubs belonging to foreign federations, as well as an unlimited number of players who are citizens of EU countries who have been registered for clubs belonging to foreign federations, provided that they are in compliance with the laws in force on immigration, entry and stay in Italy.

The UEFA Financial Fair Play Regulations will be of particular significance to our business. Implemented in the 2011-12 season and last updated in 2018, the UEFA Financial Fair Play Regulations are intended to ensure the financial self-sufficiency and sustainability of football clubs by discouraging them from continually operating at a loss, introduce more discipline and rationality on club finances, ensure that clubs settle their liabilities on a timely basis and encourage long term investment in youth development and sporting infrastructure. The regulations contain a “break-even” rule aimed at encouraging football clubs to operate on the basis of their own revenue. Therefore, owner investments of equity will be allowed only within the acceptable deviation thresholds. Potential sanctions for non-compliance with the Financial Fair Play Regulations include a reprimand/warning, withholding of prize money, fines, prohibition on registering new players for UEFA competitions and ultimately exclusion from European competitions.

Laws, regulations, or sports association rules in some of the countries in which we expect to acquire clubs prevent any person from owning more than one club in the same division in the same country. For example, in Argentina, under the Argentinian Sports Ministry’s laws, football clubs, due to their associative structure, generally cannot be sold or transferred to different owners. As a result, our acquisitions of football clubs in Argentina or countries with similar restrictions will be in the form of management and revenue-sharing agreements with their current owners. Such laws may limit our ability to derive all profits from, or to enforce control over, such clubs.

In addition, many of the countries in which we expect to acquire clubs restrict the number of foreign players that are permitted on a football club’s first team. For example, in Mozambique, the Mozambican Football Association’s rules allows clubs to field only six or fewer foreign players in league games. In North Macedonia, the North Macedonian Football Association’s rules caps foreign players to eight in league games, although an unlimited number of foreign players may be registered to play for each team. As a non-member of the European Union, North Macedonia does not currently require foreign players to hold European Union passports; however, North Macedonia has been a candidate for European Union membership since 2005 and may impose this requirement were it to become a member. These restrictions may limit our ability to realize the benefits of our global football club portfolio.

Sabby Volatility Warrant Master Fund Ltd., Empery Asset Master, Ltd., Empery Tax Efficient, LP and Empery Tax Efficient III, LP v. Kiromic BioPharma, Inc., Maurizio Chiriva-Internati, Tony Tontat, Gianluca Rotino, Pietro Bersani, Americo Cicchetti, Michael Nagel, Jerry Schneider and Thinkequity LLC, No. 1:22-cv-01927-AT (U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, March 7, 2022). On March 7, 2022, the plaintiffs named in the caption above commenced an action against Kiromic Biopharma, Inc. (Kiromic) and its current or former officers and directors, among other defendants, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On June 30, 2022, defendant Kiromic, defendant Pietro Bersani, and several other defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint, arguing, among other things, that the plaintiffs failed to plead the allegations in their complaint with the specificity required by the federal rules of civil procedure. On July 1, 2022, the court issued an order requiring the plaintiffs to file any amended complaint by July 22, 2022 and that if the plaintiffs did file an amended complaint, the defendants, within three weeks thereafter were to file an answer to that amended complaint, file a new motion to dismiss, or file a letter with the court stating that they rely on the previously filed motions to dismiss. On July 22, 2022, the plaintiffs filed their first amended complaint (FAC). In the FAC, the plaintiffs allege they purchased over 1 million shares of Kiromic stock in Kiromic’s public stock offering that opened on or about June 29, 2021 and closed on or about July 2, 2021 (the June 2021 Offering). The FAC alleges that the June 2021 Offering documents contained untrue or material misleading misrepresentations or omission due to the failure of those documents to disclose that the FDA had placed a clinical hold on Kiromic’s two Investigational New Drug (IND) applications. Based on those allegations, the FAC asserts causes of action against the defendants for violations of the federal securities laws and prays for judgment against them for: damages the plaintiffs sustained as a result of the defendants’ alleged wrongdoing in an amount to be proven at trial, including interest; an award (on Count II of the FAC) of rescission of the purchases they made of Kiromic stock in the June 2021 Offering to the extent they still hold that stock; the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses incurred in the lawsuit; and such other relief as the court may award. Pietro Bersani, who has been nominated to serve as a member of our board of directors, is individually named as a defendant in the FAC due to his position as a member of Kiromic’s board of directors and chairman of the audit committee during the time relevant to the allegations in the complaint. Mr. Bersani is also currently Kiromic’s chief executive officer. On August 30, 2021, the court entered an order extending the time of the defendants to respond to the first amended complaint to September 12, 2021, with the exceptions of defendant ThinkEquity LLC, whose time to respond was extended to September 16, 2021, and defendant Tony Tontat, who had yet to be served with the first amended complaints. On August 31, 2022, the court issued an order extending plaintiffs’ time to serve the first amended complaint on Mr. Tontat. On October 27, 2022, plaintiffs filed a consent motion with the court. On November 2, 2022, the case was resolved by settlement and the court granted the consent motion, pursuant to which a convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $1,656,720 will be issued to each of Sabby and Empery, which will be unrestricted and exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, as will be the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes.

Ronald H. Karp v. Kiromic BioPharma, Inc., Maurizio Chiriva-Internati, Tony Tontat, Gianluca Rotino, Pietro Bersani, Americo Cicchetti, Michael Nagel, Jerry Schneider and Thinkequity LLC, No. 22-6690 (U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, August 5, 2022). On August 5, 2022, the plaintiff, Ronald Karp commenced a putative class action against Kiromic Biopharma, Inc. (Kiromic) and its current or former officers and directors, among other defendants, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The allegations in the complaint, which the plaintiff filed on the same day, center on alleged violations of federal securities laws in relation to Kiromic’s public stock offering that opened on or about June 29, 2021 and closed on or about July 2, 2021 (the June 2021 Offering). The complaint alleges that the June 2021 Offering documents contained untrue or material misleading misrepresentations or omissions due to the failure of those documents to disclose that the FDA had placed a clinical hold on Kiromic’s two Investigational New Drug (IND) applications. Pietro Bersani, who has been nominated to serve as a member of our board of directors, is individually named as a defendant in the complaint due to his position as a member of Kiromic’s board of directors and chairman of the audit committee during the time relevant to the allegations in the complaint. Mr. Bersani is also currently Kiromic’s chief executive officer. The complaint prays for certification of the case as a class action and judgment in favor of the named plaintiff and members of the putative plaintiff class for an award against the defendants, jointly and severally, for recission (as appropriate) of amounts paid for shares purchased in the June 2021 Offering or all damages sustained in an amount to be proven at trial, including interest, and attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses, among other relief. On October 27, 2022, the court consolidated the action with the Podmore action discussed below, appointed Ronald H. Karp, Ari Karp, and Ethan Karp as Lead Plaintiff, and ordered the filing of a consolidated amended class action complaint within 60 days. As of December 14, 2022, this case was pending.

Nasdaq’s listing rules generally require that a majority of an issuer’s board of directors must consist of independent directors. Our board of directors currently consists of seven (7) directors, four (4) of whom are independent within the meaning of Nasdaq’s rules.

A director is not required to hold any shares in our company to qualify to serve as a director. Our board of directors may exercise all the powers of our company to borrow money, mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and uncalled capital, and to issue debentures, bonds and other securities, subject to applicable stock exchange limitations, if any, whenever money is borrowed or as security for any debt, liability or obligation of our company or of any third-party.

We established a standing audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee of our board of directors. We adopted a charter for each of the three committees. Each committee’s members and functions are described below.

Our audit committee consists of Alberto Libanori, Christopher Paul Gardner and Pietro Bersani, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq’s rules, with Mr. Bersani serving as chair of the audit committee. Our board has determined that Mr. Bersani qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert.” The audit committee will oversee our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the financial statements of our company.

The audit committee will be responsible for, among other things: (i) retaining and overseeing our independent accountants; (ii) assisting the board in its oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent auditors and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) reviewing and approving the plan and scope of the internal and external audit; (iv) pre-approving any audit and non-audit services provided by our independent auditors; (v) approving the fees to be paid to our independent auditors; (vi) reviewing with our chief executive officer and chief financial officer and independent auditors the adequacy and effectiveness of our internal controls; (vii) reviewing and approving related party transactions (viii) reviewing hedging transactions; and (ix) reviewing and assessing annually the audit committee’s performance and the adequacy of its charter.

Our compensation committee consists of Alberto Libanori, Christopher Paul Gardner and Pietro Bersani, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq’s rules, with Mr. Gardner serving as chair of the compensation committee. The compensation committee will assist the board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation, relating to our directors and executive officers.

The compensation committee will be responsible for, among other things: (i) reviewing and approving the remuneration of our executive officers; (ii) making recommendations to the board regarding the compensation of our independent directors; (iii) making recommendations to the board regarding equity-based and incentive compensation plans, policies and programs; and (iv) reviewing and assessing annually the compensation committee’s performance and the adequacy of its charter.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Alberto Libanori, Christopher Paul Gardner and Pietro Bersani, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq’s rules, with Dr. Libanori serving as chair of the nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee will assist the board of directors in selecting individuals qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of the board and its committees.

The nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for, among other things: (i) identifying and evaluating individuals qualified to become members of the board by reviewing nominees for election to the board submitted by shareholders and recommending to the board director nominees for each annual meeting of shareholders and for election to fill any vacancies on the board; (ii) advising the board with respect to board organization, desired qualifications of board members, the membership, function, operation, structure and composition of committees (including any committee authority to delegate to subcommittees), and self-evaluation and policies; (iii) advising on matters relating to corporate governance and monitoring developments in the law and practice of corporate governance; and (iv) overseeing compliance with the our code of ethics.

The nominating and corporate governance committee’s methods for identifying candidates for election to our board of directors will include the solicitation of ideas for possible candidates from a number of sources - members of our board of directors, our executives, individuals personally known to the members of our board of directors, and other research. The nominating and corporate governance committee may also, from time-to-time, retain one or more third-party search firms to identify suitable candidates.

In making director recommendations, the nominating and corporate governance committee may consider some or all of the following factors: (i) the candidate’s judgment, skill, experience with other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity and size, and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight; (ii) the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other board members; (iii) the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the board and any committee thereof; (iv) whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence; and (v) the candidate’s ability to contribute to the effective management of our company, taking into account the needs of our company and such factors as the individual’s experience, perspective, skills and knowledge of the industry in which we operate.

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. Such code of ethics addresses, among other things, honesty and ethical conduct, conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, regulations and policies, including disclosure requirements under the federal securities laws, and reporting of violations of the code.

A copy of the code of ethics has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We are required to disclose any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our code of ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, or persons performing similar functions. We intend to use our website as a method of disseminating this disclosure as well as by SEC filings, as permitted or required by applicable SEC rules. Any such disclosure will be posted to our website within four (4) business days following the date of any such amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our code of ethics.

Once the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC, we will become subject to the information reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to “foreign private issuers,” and under those requirements we will file certain reports with the SEC. As a foreign private issuer, we will not be subject to the same requirements that are imposed upon U.S. domestic issuers by the SEC. Under the Exchange Act, we will be subject to reporting obligations that, in certain respects, are less detailed and less frequent than those of U.S. domestic reporting companies. For example, although we report our financial results on a quarterly basis, we will not be required to issue quarterly reports, proxy statements that comply with the requirements applicable to U.S. domestic reporting companies, or individual executive compensation information that is as detailed as that required of U.S. domestic reporting companies. We also will have four months after the end of each fiscal year to file our annual reports with the SEC and we will not be required to file current reports as frequently or promptly as U.S. domestic reporting companies. We also present our financial statements pursuant to IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, instead of pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Furthermore, our officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the requirements to report transactions in our equity securities and from the short-swing profit liability provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. As a foreign private issuer, we will also not be subject to the requirements of Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Furthermore, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) provides that a foreign private issuer, such as us, may rely on our home country corporate governance practices in lieu of the requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5600 Series, the requirement to disclose third party director and nominee compensation set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(b)(3), and the requirement to distribute annual and interim reports set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(d), provided that we nevertheless comply with Nasdaq’s Notification of Noncompliance requirement (Nasdaq Listing Rule 5625), the Voting Rights requirement (Nasdaq Listing Rule 5640), the Diverse Board Representation Rule (Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(f)), the Board Diversity Disclosure Rule (Nasdaq Listing Rule 5606), have an audit committee that satisfies Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(3), and ensure that such audit committee’s members meet the independence requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A)(ii). If we rely on our home country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain of the rules of Nasdaq, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq. If we choose to do so, we may utilize these exemptions for as long as we continue to qualify as a foreign private issuer.

The following are some of the home country corporate governance exemptions that we may apply as a foreign private issuer instead of those otherwise required under the Exchange Act and the listing rules of Nasdaq for domestic U.S. issuers:

These exemptions and leniencies will reduce the frequency and scope of information and protections available to you in comparison to those applicable to a U.S. domestic reporting company.

Under Irish law, our directors have certain statutory and fiduciary duties. All of the directors have equal and overall responsibility for the management of the Company (although directors who also serve as employees will have additional responsibilities and duties arising under their employment agreements and will be expected to exercise a greater degree of skill and diligence than non-executive directors). The principal fiduciary duties include the statutory and common law fiduciary duties of acting in good faith in the interests of the company and exercising due care and skill. Other statutory duties include ensuring the maintenance of proper books of account, having annual accounts prepared, having an annual audit performed, maintaining certain registers and making certain filings as well as the disclosure of personal interests. Particular duties also apply to directors of insolvent companies (for example, the directors could be liable to sanctions where they are deemed by the court to have carried on our business while insolvent, without due regard to the interests of creditors). For public limited companies, directors are under a specific duty to ensure that the corporate secretary is a person with the requisite knowledge and experience to discharge the role.

As a matter of Irish law, a director is under a fiduciary duty to avoid conflicts of interest. Irish law and our constitution provide that: (i) a director may be a director of or otherwise interested in a company relating to us and will not be accountable to us for any remuneration or other benefits received as a result, unless we otherwise direct; (ii) a director or a director’s firm may act for us in a professional capacity other than as auditor; and (iii) a director may hold an office or place of profit in us and will not be disqualified from contracting with us. If a director has a personal interest in an actual or proposed contract with us, the director must declare the nature of his or her interest and we are required to maintain a register of such declared interests that must be available for inspection by the shareholders. Such a director may vote on any resolution of the board of directors in respect of such a contract, and such a contract will not be voidable solely as a result.

Our constitution provides for a minimum of two directors and a maximum of twelve directors. Our shareholders may from time to time increase or reduce the maximum number, or increase the minimum number, of directors by ordinary resolution. Our board of directors determines the number of directors subject to the above limitations. The first director of the Company was the person determined in writing by the subscriber of our constitution. The first director resigned on July 11, 2022 and was replaced by the directors named in this prospectus. Subsequent directors of our company may be appointed by our board of directors and shall hold office until the next annual general meeting where they shall be eligible for re-election. The following persons are disqualified by the Irish Companies Act from being a director of our company: (i) anyone who is less than 18 years of age; (ii) a person who is not an individual; and (iii) a person who has the status of a bankrupt.

We have entered into consulting agreements with certain of our executive officers. Each of these agreements provides for an initial salary and covenants not to solicit our employees or customers during their service period and for a period of up to 18 months following termination.

To the fullest extent permitted by Irish law, our constitution confers an indemnity on our directors and officers. However, this indemnity is limited by the Irish Companies Act, which prescribes that an advance commitment to indemnify only permits a company to pay the costs or discharge the liability of a director or corporate secretary where judgment is given in favor of the director or corporate secretary in any civil or criminal action in respect of such costs or liability, or where an Irish court grants relief because the director or corporate secretary acted honestly and reasonably and ought fairly to be excused. Any provision whereby an Irish company seeks to commit in advance to indemnify its directors or corporate secretary over and above the limitations imposed by the Irish Companies Act will be void under Irish law, whether contained in its constitution or any contract between the company and the director or corporate secretary. This restriction does not apply to our executives who are not directors, the corporate secretary or other persons who would be considered “officers” within the meaning of that term under the Irish Companies Act.

Our constitution also contains indemnification and expense advancement provisions for persons who are not directors or our corporate secretary.

We are permitted under our constitution and the Irish Companies Act to take out directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, as well as other types of insurance, for our directors, officers, employees and agents.

Additionally, we have entered into agreements to indemnify our directors and our executive officers to the maximum extent allowed under applicable law. These agreements, among other things, provide that we will indemnify our directors and executive officers for certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts reasonably incurred by such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in our right, on account of any services undertaken by such person on our behalf or that person’s status as our director or executive officer.

We recorded €130,790 in total compensation to directors and executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2022, consisting of €12,498 in salary to our Chief Executive Officer, Sergio Carlo Scalpelli, €18,986 in salary to our Chief Financial Officer, Amedeo Montonati, €53,524.08 in director’s fees and €43,282.40 in the form of a one-time termination payment to the former sole director of Brera Milano and a former director of Brera Holdings, Marco Sala, and €2,500 in director’s fees to the current sole director of Brera Milano, Francesca Duva. We have not set aside or accrued any additional amount to provide pension, retirement or other similar benefits to our directors and executive officers. Our board of directors may determine compensation to be paid to the directors and the executive officers. The compensation committee will assist the directors in reviewing and approving the compensation structure for the directors and the executive officers. In connection with the initial public offering, we adopted an equity incentive plan, see “—Equity Incentive Plan” below.

Under our consulting agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, Sergio Carlo Scalpelli, effective as of October 5, 2022, we agreed that, for a 1-year term, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, we will pay Mr. Scalpelli an annual salary of €50,000, and he will be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus as determined by the Board of Directors. Under his agreement, we agreed to grant Mr. Scalpelli a share option under the Plan, with an exercise price equal to $2.00, to purchase 50,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to vest equally over three (3) years on each anniversary of the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, or the Effective Time. Upon a change of control of the Company, all of the shares will vest immediately. The Company will also provide standard indemnification and directors’ and officers’ insurance as of the Effective Time in addition to the ability to participate in standard employee benefits, such as health insurance or 401(k), if the Company institutes these benefits in the future. Mr. Scalpelli is also subject to certain confidentiality and non-competition provisions.

Under our consulting agreement with our Chief Financial Officer, Amedeo Montonati, effective as of October 18, 2022, we agreed that, for a 6-month term, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, we will pay to AOB Accounting and Consultancy Service Company Limited on behalf of Mr. Montonati a monthly fee of $4,000, and he will be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus as determined by the Board of Directors. The Company will also provide standard indemnification and directors’ and officers’ insurance as of the Effective Time. Mr. Montonati is also subject to certain confidentiality and non-competition provisions.

Under their independent director agreements with us, each independent director will receive an annual cash fee and an initial stock option award upon the Effective Time. We will pay the annual cash compensation fee to each independent director in four equal installments no later than the fifth business day of each calendar quarter commencing in the quarter following the Effective Time. The cash fee to be paid to each director nominee will be $51,000 as to Mr. Alberto Libanori, $51,000 as to Mr. Christopher Paul Gardner, $36,000 as to Mr. Goran Pandev, and $56,000 as to Mr. Pietro Bersani. Under their agreements, each independent director shall be granted a share option, with an exercise price equal to $2.00, to purchase 50,000 Class B Ordinary Shares. The share option will vest over a three (3) year period beginning at the Effective Time at a rate of 1/3 per year. We will also reimburse each independent director for pre-approved reasonable business-related expenses incurred in good faith in connection with the performance of the independent director’s duties for us. As also required under the independent director agreements, we have separately entered into a standard indemnification agreement with each of our independent directors, the term of which will begin at the Effective Time.

Under a Private Agreement between the Company and Marco Sala, a former director of Brera Holdings, dated November 30, 2022, we agreed that Mr. Sala would resign as sole director of Brera Milano, forfeit accrued and unpaid emoluments as sole director in the amount of approximately €43,000, forfeit an indemnity of €11,000 due by way of severance, that the Company would pay Mr. Sala the total and all-inclusive amount of €43,000, and that with fulfillment of such payment obligation, an agreement and acknowledgement by Mr. Sala that he expects nothing else from Brera Milano, and that, with fulfillment of Mr. Sala’s commitments to resign and make the forfeitures described above, the Company recognizes Mr. Sala’s discharge for work carried out during his tenure as sole director of Brera Milano. On November 30, 2022, Mr. Sala resigned as sole director of Brera Milano. On the same date, Brera Milano appointed Dr. Francesca Duva as new sole director of Brera Milano and granted Dr. Duva an annual emolument of €30,000.

On October 26, 2022, our board of directors approved the Brera Holdings Limited 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2022 Plan.

Purpose of the 2022 Plan: The purpose of the 2022 Plan is to advance our interests and the interests of our shareholders by providing an incentive to attract, retain and reward persons performing services for us and by motivating such persons to contribute to our growth and profitability. The maximum number of Class B Ordinary Shares that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2022 Plan will be 2,000,000 shares. Cancelled and surrendered share options and share awards may again become available for grant under the 2022 Plan. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not granted any share options under the 2022 Plan and all 2,000,000 shares remain available for issuance under the 2022 Plan. We expect to grant awards for a total of 200,000 Class B Ordinary Shares under the 2022 Plan upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We intend that awards granted under the 2022 Plan be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, or the Code (including any amendments or replacements of such section), and the 2022 Plan shall be so construed.

The following summary briefly describes the principal features of the 2022 Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2022 Plan.

Awards that may be granted include: (a) Incentive Share Options, or ISO (b) Non-qualified Share Options, (c) Share Appreciation Rights, (d) Restricted Shares, (e) Restricted Share Units, or RSUs, (f) Shares granted as a bonus or in lieu of another award, and (g) Performance Awards. These awards offer us and our shareholders the possibility of future value, depending on the long-term price appreciation of our Class B Ordinary Shares and the award holder’s continuing service with us.

Share options give the option holder the right to acquire from us a designated number of shares of our Class B Ordinary Shares at a purchase price that is fixed at the time of the grant of the option. The exercise price will not be less than the market price of the Class B Ordinary Shares on the date of grant. Share options granted may be either incentive share options or non-qualified share options.

Share appreciation rights, or SARs, which may be granted alone or in tandem with options, have an economic value similar to that of options. When an SAR for a particular number of shares is exercised, the holder receives a payment equal to the difference between the market price of the shares on the date of exercise and the exercise price of the shares under the SAR. Again, the exercise price for SARs normally is the market price of the shares on the date the SAR is granted. Under the 2022 Plan, holders of SARs may receive this payment – the appreciation value – either in cash or Class B Ordinary Shares valued at the fair market value on the date of exercise. The form of payment will be determined by us.

Restricted shares are awards of a right to receive shares of our Class B Ordinary Shares on a future date. Restricted Share Unit Awards are evidenced by award agreements in such form as our board of directors shall from time to time establish. Restricted shares can take the form of awards of restricted shares, which represent issued and outstanding shares of our Class B Ordinary Shares subject to vesting criteria, or restricted share units, which represent the right to receive shares of our Class B Ordinary Shares subject to satisfaction of the vesting criteria. Restricted shares are surrenderable and non-transferable until the shares vest. The vesting date or dates and other conditions for vesting are established when the shares are awarded.

Our board of directors may grant Class B Ordinary Shares to any eligible recipient as a bonus, or to grant shares or other awards in lieu of obligations to pay cash or deliver other property under the 2022 Plan or under other plans or compensatory arrangements.

The 2022 Plan also provides for performance awards, representing the right to receive a payment, which may be in the form of cash, Class B Ordinary Shares, or a combination, based on the attainment of pre-established goals.

All of the permissible types of awards under the 2022 Plan are described in more detail below.

Administration of the 2022 Plan: The 2022 Plan is currently administered by our board of directors. All questions of interpretation of the 2022 Plan, of any award agreement or of any other form of agreement or other document employed by us in the administration of the 2022 Plan or of any award shall be determined by the Board, and such determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all persons having an interest in the 2022 Plan or such award, unless fraudulent or made in bad faith. Any and all actions, decisions and determinations taken or made by the board of directors. in the exercise of its discretion pursuant to the 2022 Plan or award agreement or other agreement thereunder (other than determining questions of interpretation pursuant to the preceding sentence) shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all persons having an interest therein.

Eligible Recipients: Persons eligible to receive awards under the 2022 Plan will be those employees, consultants and directors of us or of any of our subsidiaries.

Shares Available Under the 2022 Plan: The maximum aggregate number of Class B Ordinary Shares that may be issued under the 2022 Plan will be 2,000,000 shares and shall consist of authorized but unissued or reacquired Class B Ordinary Shares or any combination thereof, subject to adjustment for certain corporate changes affecting the shares, such as share splits, merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, or share dividend. Shares subject to an award under the 2022 Plan for which the award is canceled, forfeited, surrendered, or expires again become available for grants under the 2022 Plan.

General. Share options and SARs shall be evidenced by award agreements specifying the number of Class B Ordinary Shares covered thereby, in such form as the board of directors shall from time to time establish. Each Share option grant will identify the option as an ISO or Non-qualified Share Option. Subject to the provisions of the 2022 Plan, the administrator has the authority to determine all grants of share options. That determination will include: (i) the number of shares subject to any option; (ii) the exercise price per share; (iii) the expiration date of the option; (iv) the manner, time and date of permitted exercise; (v) other restrictions, if any, on the option or the shares underlying the option; and (vi) any other terms and conditions as the administrator may determine.

Option Price. The exercise price for each share option or SAR shall be established in the discretion of the board of directors; provided, however, that the exercise price per share for the share option or SAR shall be not less than the fair market value of a Class B Ordinary Share on the effective date of grant of the share option or SAR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a share option or SAR may be granted with an exercise price lower than the minimum exercise price set forth above if such share option or SAR is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner qualifying under the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.

Exercise of Options. Share options may be immediately exercisable but subject to repurchase or may be exercisable at such time or times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria and restrictions as shall be determined by the board of directors and set forth in the award agreement evidencing such share option. No share option or SAR shall be exercisable after the expiration of seven (7) years after the effective date of grant of such share option or SAR. Subject to the foregoing, unless otherwise specified by the board of directors in the grant of a share option or SAR, any share option or SAR granted hereunder shall terminate seven (7) years after the effective date of grant of the share option or SAR, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its provisions. The board of directors may set a reasonable minimum number of Class B Ordinary Shares that may be exercised at any one time.

Expiration or Termination. Options, if not previously exercised, will expire on the expiration date established by the administrator at the time of grant. In the case of incentive share options, such term cannot exceed seven years provided that in the case of holders of more than 10% of our total combined voting shares, such term cannot exceed five years. Options will terminate before their expiration date if the holder’s service with our company or a subsidiary terminates before the expiration date. The option may remain exercisable for specified periods after certain terminations of employment, including terminations as a result of death, disability or retirement, with the precise period during which the option may be exercised to be established by the administrator and reflected in the grant evidencing the award.

Incentive Share Options. Share options intending to qualify as ISOs may only be granted to employees, as determined by the board of directors. No ISO shall be granted to any person if immediately after the grant of such award, such person would own ordinary shares, including Class B Ordinary Shares subject to outstanding awards held by him or her under the 2022 Plan or any other plan established by the Company, amounting to more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of ordinary shares of the Company. To the extent that the award agreement specifies that an Option is intended to be treated as an ISO, the Option is intended to qualify to the greatest extent possible as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, and shall be so construed; provided, however, that any such designation shall not be interpreted as a representation, guarantee or other undertaking on the part of the Company that the Option is or will be determined to qualify as an ISO. If and to the extent that any shares are issued under a portion of any Option that exceeds the $100,000 limitation of Section 422 of the Code, such Class B Ordinary Shares shall not be treated as issued under an ISO notwithstanding any designation otherwise.

Restricted Share Awards: Share awards can also be granted under the 2022 Plan. A share award is a grant of Class B Ordinary Shares or of a right to receive shares in the future. These awards will be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the administrator shall determine at the date of grant. Those may include requirements for continuous service and/or the achievement of specified performance goals.

Restricted Share Units: RSU Awards shall be evidenced by award agreements in such form as the board of directors shall from time to time establish. The purchase price for shares issuable under each RSU Award shall be established by the board of directors in its discretion. Except as may be required by Applicable Law or established by the board of directors, no monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding) shall be required as a condition of receiving a RSU Award. Shares issued pursuant to any RSU Award may (but need not) be made subject to vesting conditions based upon the satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or Performance Criteria, as shall be established by the board of directors and set forth in the award agreement evidencing such award.

Performance Criteria: Under the 2022 Plan, Performance Criteria means business criteria including, but not limited to: revenue; revenue growth; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; earnings per share; operating income; pre- or after-tax income; net operating profit after taxes; economic value added (or an equivalent metric); ratio of operating earnings to capital spending; cash flow (before or after dividends); cash-flow per share (before or after dividends); net earnings; net sales; sales growth; share price performance; return on assets or net assets; return on equity; return on capital (including return on total capital or return on invested capital); cash flow return on investment; total shareholder return; improvement in or attainment of expense levels; and improvement in or attainment of working capital levels or Performance Criteria. Any Performance Criteria may be used to measure the Company’s performance as a whole or any of the Company’s business units and may be measured relative to a peer group or index.

Performance Awards. Performance awards shall be evidenced by award agreements in such form as the board of directors shall from time to time establish. Each performance award shall entitle the participant to a payment in cash or Class B Ordinary Shares upon the attainment of Performance Criteria and other terms and conditions specified by the board of directors. Notwithstanding the satisfaction of any Performance Criteria, the amount to be paid under a performance award may be adjusted by the board of directors on the basis of such further consideration as the board of directors in its sole discretion shall determine. The board of directors may, in its discretion, substitute actual Class B Ordinary Shares for the cash payment otherwise required to be made to a participant pursuant to a performance award.

Bonus Shares and Awards in Lieu of Obligations. The board of directors may grant Class B Ordinary Shares to any eligible recipient as a bonus, or to grant Class B Ordinary Shares or other awards in lieu of obligations to pay cash or deliver other property under the 2022 Plan or under other plans or compensatory arrangements, provided that, in the case of participants subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the amount of such grants remains within the discretion of the board of directors to the extent necessary to ensure that acquisitions of Class B Ordinary Shares or other awards are exempt from liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Class B Ordinary Shares or awards granted hereunder shall be subject to such other terms as shall be determined by the board of directors.

Other Material Provisions: Awards will be evidenced by a written agreement, in such form as may be approved by the administrator. In the event of various changes to the capitalization of our company, such as share splits, share dividends and similar re-capitalizations, an appropriate adjustment will be made by the administrator to the number of shares covered by outstanding awards or to the exercise price of such awards. The administrator is also permitted to include in the written agreement provisions that provide for certain changes in the award in the event of a change of control of our company, including acceleration of vesting. Except as otherwise determined by the administrator at the date of grant, awards will not be transferable, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Prior to any award distribution, we are permitted to deduct or withhold amounts sufficient to satisfy any employee withholding tax requirements. Our board of directors also has the authority, at any time, to discontinue the granting of awards. The board of directors also has the authority to alter or amend the 2022 Plan or any outstanding award or may terminate the 2022 Plan as to further grants, provided that no amendment will, without the approval of our shareholders, to the extent that such approval is required by law or the rules of an applicable exchange, increase the number of shares available under the 2022 Plan, change the persons eligible for awards under the 2022 Plan, extend the time within which awards may be made, or amend the provisions of the 2022 Plan related to amendments. No amendment that would adversely affect any outstanding award made under the 2022 Plan can be made without the consent of the holder of such award.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares as of the date of this prospectus for (i) each of our executive officers and directors; (ii) all of our executive officers and directors as a group; and (iii) each other shareholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of a class of our voting securities. The following table assumes that the underwriters have not exercised the over-allotment option.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. For purposes of this table, a person or group of persons is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any ordinary shares that such person or any member of such group has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days of the date of this prospectus. For purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares held by each person or group of persons named above, any shares that such person or persons has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days of the date of this prospectus are deemed to be outstanding for such person, but not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The inclusion herein of any shares listed as beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership by any person.

We are not aware of any arrangement that may, at a subsequent date, result in a change of control of our company.

In addition to the compensation arrangements discussed under “Management,” the following is a description of the material terms of those transactions with related parties to which we are party and which we are required to disclose pursuant to the disclosure rules of the SEC.

On July 18, 2022, we entered into a preliminary agreement for the purchase of all the shares of Brera Milano with Marco Sala, a former director of Brera Holdings, Stefano Locatelli, Alessandro Aleotti, our Chief Strategy Officer and director, Christian Rocca, Sergio Carlo Scalpelli, our Chief Executive Officer and director, and MAX SRL, for a total of €25,000. In connection with this transaction, we paid Mr. Sala, our director, €5,000 for 20% of the share capital of Brera Milano; and we paid Mr. Aleotti €4,000 for 16% of the share capital of Brera Milano. Under this agreement, we also agreed to contribute €253,821 upon the final completion of the formal obligations under this agreement at the Milan Register of Companies, to restore Brera Milano’s share capital due to a €253,821 liability indicated by its financial statements. On July 29, 2022, we executed the final deed of share transfer, paid €253,821 for purposes of restoring Brera Milano’s share capital, and completed certain other required formalities. As a result, the share transfer became effective under Italian law, and Brera Milano became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

On July 13, 2022, our subsidiary Brera Milano entered into a private deed with Alessandro Aleotti and Leonardo Aleotti in which Brera Milano agreed to purchase the trademarks “Brera” and “FENIX Trophy” for the cost of the trademarks’ registration.

On July 13, 2022, Brera Milano entered into a private deed with FCD Brera in which Brera Milano granted a non-exclusive license to FCD Brera to use the trademarks “Brera” and “FENIX Trophy” in connection with its football activities. Under the agreement, FCD Brera agreed to carry out certain requested sports activities relating to the trademarks in exchange for fees to be agreed between the parties. Costs attributable to the sports activities relating to the trademarks will be borne by FCD Brera, and revenues attributable to such activities will be recognized by Brera Milano. If appropriate fees cannot be agreed to in exchange for the requested sports activities, Brera Milano may decline to carry out the activities. Any costs that are sustained by FCD Brera in carrying out agreed-to sports activities in the manner requested by Brera Milano may be expensed to Brera Milano for reimbursement. FCD Brera may otherwise continue to operate independently of Brera Milano and the Company.

Under our constitution, we are authorized to issue two classes of ordinary shares, Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, and any number of classes of preferred shares. Class A Ordinary Shares are entitled to ten votes per share on proposals requiring or requesting shareholder approval, and Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote on any such matter. Class A Ordinary Shares are convertible to Class B Ordinary Shares as follows: (i) at the option of the holder of Class A Ordinary Shares without the payment of additional consideration or (ii) automatically upon the transfer of Class A Ordinary Shares, except that the transfer of Class A Ordinary Shares to another holder of Class A Ordinary Shares will not result in such automatic conversion. Class B Ordinary Shares are not convertible. Other than as to voting and conversion rights, Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares have the same rights and preferences and rank equally.

As a result of the above share issuances and surrenders, our founders, some of whom are, or are beneficially owned by, our officers and directors, own 7,700,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, which amounts to 77,000,000 votes out of a total of 79,205,000 votes held by our outstanding ordinary shares.

Our constitution also contains indemnification and expense advancement provisions for persons who are not directors or our corporate secretary.

From March 2016 to May 2022, we engaged SWG S.p.A., or SWG, to provide certain polling services, free of charge, and without agreements in writing. SWG is beneficially owned by Adrio Maria de Carolis, a beneficial owner of approximately 30.9% of our Class A Ordinary Shares and a former director of Brera Holdings.

For the year ending December 31, 2021, we had other receivables owed to Stefano Locatelli in the amount of €1,334 and to each of Alessandro Aleotti, our Chief Strategy Officer and director, Marco Sala, a former director of Brera Holdings, Sergio Carlo Scalpelli, our Chief Executive Officer and director, and Christian Rocca in the amount of €333, deposits and prepayments owed to MAX SRL and Stefano Locatelli in the amounts of €14,545 and €14,000, respectively, trade payables owed to MAX SRL and Brera Calcio AS in the amounts of €6,112 and €36,600, respectively and we had a loan from Mr. Scalpelli in the amount of €20,000.

For the year ending December 31, 2020, we had trade payables owed to each of MAX SRL and Stefano Locatelli in the amount of €6,000.

Pursuant to our related party transaction policy, any related party transaction must be approved or ratified by our board of directors or a designated committee thereof. In determining whether to approve or ratify a transaction with a related party, our board of directors or the designated committee will consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including without limitation the commercial reasonableness of the terms, the benefit and perceived benefit, or lack thereof, to us, opportunity costs of alternate transactions, the materiality and character of the related party’s direct or indirect interest and the actual or apparent conflict of interest of the related party. Our board of directors or the designated committee will not approve or ratify a related party transaction unless it has determined that, upon consideration of all relevant information, such transaction is in, or not inconsistent with, our best interests and the best interests of our shareholders.

The following is a description of the material terms of our share capital as set forth in our constitution, and as amended in connection with the initial public offering, and certain related sections of the Irish Companies Act. For more detailed information, please see our constitution in the form attached as Exhibit 3.2 to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

We were incorporated pursuant to the laws of Ireland as Brera Holdings Limited, a private company limited by shares, on June 30, 2022, to become the holding company for Brera Milano, which we acquired on July 29, 2022. Brera Holdings Limited re-registered as a public limited company and was renamed as Brera Holdings PLC on October 27, 2022. See the section above titled “Corporate Reorganization” for more information.

We are registered with the Companies Registration Office in Ireland under company registration number 721923 and our registered office is at Connaught House, 5th Floor, One Burlington Road, Dublin 4, DO4 C5Y6, Ireland.

As part of our Corporate Reorganization, certain resolutions have been passed by our shareholders prior to the completion of the initial public offering, including the adoption of a new constitution. See “Key Provisions of our Post-IPO Constitution” below.

The authorized share capital of the Company currently consists of 350,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 300,000,000 shares of ordinary shares, with a nominal value of $0.005 per share, of which 50,000,000 shares are designated Class A Ordinary Shares, nominal value $0.005 per share, and 250,000,000 shares are designated Class B Ordinary Shares, nominal value $0.005 per share, and (ii) 50,000,000 shares of preferred shares, with a nominal value of $0.005 per share.

As of the date of this prospectus, we have 7,700,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, 2,205,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, and no shares of preferred shares issued and outstanding.

Under our constitution, the holders of Class A Ordinary Shares will be entitled to ten (10) votes for each Class A Ordinary Share held of record and the holders of Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to one (1) vote for each Class B Ordinary Share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. Subject to the prior rights of the holders of our preferred shares, the holders of our ordinary shares will be entitled to receive dividends as and when recommended and declared by our board of directors or declared by our shareholders. See “Dividend Policy.” Subject to the rights of the holders of our preferred shares, in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or other distribution of our assets among our shareholders, the holders of our ordinary shares will be entitled to share pro rata in the distribution of the balance of our assets. Holders of ordinary shares have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our ordinary shares. There will be no provision in our constitution requiring holders of ordinary shares to contribute additional capital or permitting or restricting the issuance of additional securities or any other material restrictions. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of ordinary shares will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of preferred shares that we may designate in the future.

Under our constitution, we will be authorized to issue, without shareholder approval, up to 50,000,000 preferred shares, issuable in one or more series, and, subject to the provisions of the Irish Companies Act, having such designations, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions, including dividend and voting rights, as our board of directors may determine and as further set out in the constitution, and such rights and privileges, including dividend and voting rights, may be superior to those of the ordinary shares. The issuance of preferred shares, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company and might adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares and the voting and other rights of the holders of ordinary shares. We have no current plans to issue any preferred shares.

Upon the closing of the initial public offering, there will be up to 120,750 Class B Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the representative’s warrants. See “Underwriting—Representative’s Warrants” in the Public Offering Prospectus for a description of the representative’s warrants.

On October 26, 2022, we adopted the Brera Holdings Limited 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2022 Plan. The purpose of the 2022 Plan is to grant restricted share and share options to our officers, employees, directors, advisors and consultants. The maximum number of Class B Ordinary Shares that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2022 Plan will be 2,000,000 shares. Cancelled and forfeited share options and share awards may again become available for grant under the 2022 Plan. We have been advised that from an Irish tax perspective, each option should not be longer than 7 years in duration as under Irish income tax rules, the holder of an option that is of duration of more than 7 years is immediately subject to income tax. The 2022 Plan will expire on October 26, 2032. For further information, please see “Management—Equity Incentive Plan”.

We have the authority, pursuant to our constitution, to increase or reduce our authorized but unissued share capital by ordinary resolution (unless otherwise determined by the Board) by creating additional shares of any class or series. An ordinary resolution of our company requires more than 50% of the votes cast at the shareholder meeting by shareholders entitled to vote at that meeting. As a matter of Irish law, the board of directors of a company may issue authorized but unissued new shares without shareholder approval once authorized to do so by the constitution of the company or by an ordinary resolution adopted by the shareholders at a general meeting. The authority conferred can be granted for a maximum period of five years, at which point it must be renewed by the shareholders by an ordinary resolution. Because of this requirement of Irish law, our constitution authorizes our board of directors to issue new shares up to the amount of our authorized but unissued share capital without shareholder approval for a period of five years from the date of adoption of our constitution in the form attached as Exhibit 3.2 to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We expect that we will seek to renew such general authority at an annual general meeting before the end of that five-year period.

Under Irish law, certain statutory pre-emption rights apply automatically in favor of our shareholders when our ordinary shares are issued for cash. However, we will opt out of these pre-emption rights in our constitution as permitted under Irish law. This opt-out may be renewed every five years under Irish law by a special resolution of the shareholders. A special resolution requires not less than 75% of the votes cast by our shareholders at a meeting of shareholders. We expect that we will seek renewal of the opt-out at an annual general meeting within five years from the date on which our constitution is adopted in substantially the form attached as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. If the opt-out expires and is not renewed, ordinary shares issued for cash must be offered to our pre-existing ordinary shareholders pro rata based on their existing shareholding before the ordinary shares can be issued to any new shareholders or pre-existing shareholders in an amount greater than their pro rata entitlements. The statutory pre-emption rights:

Our constitution provides that, subject to any shareholder approval requirement under any laws, regulations or the rules of any stock exchange to which we are subject, the board is authorized, from time to time, in its discretion, to grant such persons, for such periods and upon such terms as the board deems advisable, options to purchase such number of shares of any class or classes or of any series of any class as the board of directors may deem advisable, and to cause warrants or other appropriate instruments evidencing such options to be issued. The Irish Companies Act provides that directors may issue share warrants or options without shareholder approval once authorized to do so by the constitution. We will be subject to the rules of Nasdaq that require shareholder approval of certain equity plans and share issuances. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of shares upon exercise of warrants or options without shareholder approval or authorization (up to the relevant authorized share capital limit).

Under Irish law, we are prohibited from allotting shares without consideration. Accordingly, at least the nominal value of the shares issued underlying any restricted share award, restricted share unit, performance share award, bonus share or any other share-based grant must be paid pursuant to the Irish Companies Act.

Our constitution provides that any ordinary share we agree to acquire shall be deemed to be a redeemable share. Accordingly, for Irish law purposes, the repurchase of ordinary shares by us may technically be effected as a redemption of those ordinary shares as described below under “Repurchases and Redemptions.” If our constitution did not contain such provisions, repurchases by us would be subject to many of the same rules that apply to purchases of our ordinary shares by subsidiaries described below under “Purchases by Subsidiaries,” including the shareholder approval requirements described below. Except where otherwise noted, when we refer elsewhere in this prospectus to repurchasing or buying back our ordinary shares, we are referring to the redemption of ordinary shares by us pursuant to the constitution or the purchase of our ordinary shares by a subsidiary of the Company, in each case in accordance with our constitution and Irish law as described below.

Under Irish law, a company can issue redeemable shares and redeem them out of distributable reserves (which are described below under “Dividends”) or the proceeds of a new issue of shares for that purpose. The redemption of redeemable shares may only be made by a public limited company where the nominal value of the issued share capital that is not redeemable is not less than 10% of the nominal value of the total issued share capital of the company. All redeemable shares must also be fully paid and the terms of redemption of the shares must provide for payment on redemption. Redeemable shares may, upon redemption, be cancelled or held in treasury. Shareholder approval will not be required to redeem our ordinary shares.

The board of directors will also be entitled to issue other classes or series of shares that may be redeemed at the option of either us or the shareholder, depending on the terms of such shares. See the section above titled “—Share Capital.” Repurchased and redeemed shares may be cancelled or held as treasury shares. The nominal value of treasury shares held by us at any time must not exceed 10% of the nominal value of our issued share capital. While we hold shares as treasury shares, we cannot exercise any voting rights in respect of those shares. Treasury shares may be cancelled by us or re-issued subject to certain conditions.

Under Irish law, it may be permissible for an Irish or non-Irish subsidiary to purchase our ordinary shares. A general authority of our shareholders is required to allow a subsidiary of ours to make on-market purchases of our ordinary shares; however, as long as this general authority has been granted, no specific shareholder authority for a particular on-market purchase by a subsidiary of our ordinary shares is required. We may elect to seek such general authority, which must expire no later than 18 months after the date on which it was granted, at our annual general meetings. For an off-market purchase by our subsidiary, the proposed purchase contract must be authorized by special resolution of our shareholders before the contract is entered into. The person whose shares are to be bought back cannot vote in favor of the special resolution and, from the date of the notice of the meeting at which the resolution approving the contract is to be proposed, the purchase contract must be on display or must be available for inspection by shareholders at our registered office.

The number of shares held by our subsidiaries at any time will count as treasury shares and will be included in any calculation of the permitted treasury share threshold of 10% of the nominal value of our issued share capital. While a subsidiary holds our ordinary shares, it cannot exercise any voting rights in respect of those shares. The acquisition of our ordinary shares by a subsidiary must be funded out of distributable reserves of the subsidiary.

Under Irish law, dividends and distributions may only be made from distributable reserves. Distributable reserves, broadly, means the accumulated realized profits of a company, less accumulated realized losses of the company on a standalone basis. In addition, no dividend or distribution may be made unless the net assets of a company are not less than the aggregate of a company’s called up share capital plus undistributable reserves and the distribution does not reduce the company’s net assets below such aggregate. Undistributable reserves include a company’s undenominated capital (effectively its share premium and capital redemption reserve) and the amount by which the company’s accumulated unrealized profits, so far as not previously utilized by any capitalization, exceed the company’s accumulated unrealized losses, so far as not previously written off in a reduction or reorganization of capital. The determination as to whether or not a company has sufficient distributable reserves to fund a dividend must be made by reference to “relevant financial statements” of the company. The “relevant financial statements” are either the last set of unconsolidated annual audited financial statements or unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with the Irish Companies Act, which give a “true and fair view” of the company’s unconsolidated financial position in accordance with accepted accounting practice in Ireland. These “relevant financial statements” must be filed in the Companies Registration Office (the official public registry for companies in Ireland). Our constitution authorizes the board of directors to declare such dividends as appear justified from the profits of the company without the approval of the shareholders. The board of directors may also recommend a dividend to be approved and declared by our shareholders at a general meeting. Our dividends can be declared and paid in the form of cash or non-cash assets, subject to applicable law. Our board of directors may deduct from any dividend or other moneys payable to any shareholder all sums of money, if any, due from the shareholder to the Company in respect of ordinary shares of the Company. Our board of directors is also authorized to issue shares in the future with preferred rights to participate in dividends declared by the Company. The holders of such preference shares may, depending on their terms, rank senior to the holders of the ordinary shares of the Company with respect to dividends. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

For information about the Irish tax considerations relating to dividend payments, see the section titled “Material United States and Irish Income Tax Considerations—Irish Tax Considerations.”

Under our constitution, our board of directors may resolve to capitalize any amount credited to any reserve or fund available for distribution or the share premium account or other of our undistributable reserves for issuance and distribution to shareholders as fully paid up bonus shares on the same basis of entitlement as would apply in respect of a dividend distribution.

Our constitution provides that we will have a first and paramount lien on every share for all debts and liabilities of any shareholder to the Company, whether presently due or not, payable in respect of such share. Subject to the terms of the allotment, directors may call for any unpaid amounts in respect of any shares to be paid, and if payment is not made, the shares may be forfeited. These provisions are standard inclusions in the constitution of an Irish company limited by shares such as the Company and will only be applicable to shares of the Company that have not been fully paid up.

Under our constitution, we may, by ordinary resolution (unless the board of directors determines otherwise), divide any or all of our share capital into shares of smaller nominal value than its existing shares (often referred to as a share split) or consolidate any or all of our share capital into shares of larger nominal value than its existing shares (often referred to as a reverse share split).

We may, by ordinary resolution, reduce our authorized but unissued share capital. We also may, by special resolution and subject to confirmation by the Irish High Court, reduce our issued share capital, and any undenominated share capital.

To the fullest extent permitted by Irish law, our constitution contains indemnification for the benefit of our directors, company secretary and executive officers. However, as to our directors and company secretary, this indemnity is limited by the Irish Companies Act, which prescribes that an advance commitment to indemnify only permits a company to pay the costs or discharge the liability of a director or company secretary where judgment is given in favor of the director or company secretary in any civil or criminal action in respect of such costs or liability, or where an Irish court grants relief because the director or company secretary acted honestly and reasonably and ought fairly to be excused. Any provision whereby an Irish company seeks to commit in advance to indemnify its directors or company secretary over and above the limitations imposed by the Irish Companies Act will be void, whether contained in its constitution or any contract between the company and the director or company secretary. This restriction does not apply to our executive officers who are not directors, our company secretary or other persons who would not be considered “officers” within the meaning of the Irish Companies Act.

We are permitted under the constitution and the Irish Companies Act to take out directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, as well as other types of insurance, for our directors, officers, employees and agents. In order to attract and retain qualified directors and officers, we expect to purchase and maintain customary directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and other types of comparable insurance.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and our executive officers which provide, among other things, that we will indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against all liabilities, costs, charges and expenses incurred as a result of our directors and executive officers actions in the exercise of their duties as a director or officer; provided that, we shall not indemnify such individuals if, among other things, they did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests and, in the case of a criminal or penal action, the individuals did not have reasonable grounds for believing that their conduct was lawful. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons who control the Company, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

At present, we are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees or agents in which indemnification would be required or permitted.

The following is a summary of certain important provisions of our constitution, as it will be in force on completion of the offering. Please note that this is only a summary, is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our constitution. For further information, please refer to the full version of our constitution, copies of which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

As a matter of Irish law, a director is under a general fiduciary duty to avoid conflicts of interest. Under Irish law, directors who have a personal interest in a contract or proposed contract with the applicable Irish company are required to declare the nature of their interest at a meeting of the board of directors of the applicable Irish company. An Irish company is required to maintain a register of declared interests, which must be available for shareholder inspection.

Our constitution provides that an interested director may vote on a resolution concerning a matter in which he or she has declared an interest.

Under the constitution, the board of directors are authorized to set the remuneration of the directors. The compensation committee will assist the board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation, relating to our directors.

Under the Irish Companies Act, our directors must be at last eighteen (18) years of age but it does not impose any mandatory age-related retirement or non-retirement requirement for our directors.

A director is not required to hold any shares in our company to qualify to serve as a director.

Under our constitution, the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of our board of directors is a majority of the directors in office.

Subject to our constitution and the Irish Companies Act, our board of directors may exercise all of our powers to: (i) borrow money; (ii) indemnify and guarantee; (iii) mortgage or charge; (iv) create and issue debentures and other securities; and (v) give security either outright or as collateral security for any of our debt, liability or obligation or any of a third party.

Where our shares are divided into different classes, the rights attaching to a class of shares may only be varied or abrogated if (a) the holders of 75% in nominal value of the issued shares of that class consent in writing to the variation, or (b) a special resolution, passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of that class, sanctions the variation.

The provisions of our constitution relating to general meetings apply to general meetings of the holders of any class of shares except that the necessary quorum is determined in reference to the shares of the holders of the class. Accordingly, for general meetings of holders of a particular class of shares, a quorum consists of one or more shareholders present in person or by proxy holding not less than a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the class entitled to vote at the meeting in question.

The rights conferred upon the holders of any class of shares issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by a purchase or redemption by us of our own shares or by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith or subordinate thereto.

We are required to hold an annual general meeting within 18 months of incorporation and at intervals of no more than 15 months thereafter, provided that an annual general meeting is held in each calendar year following the first annual general meeting and no more than nine months after our fiscal year-end.

Notice of an annual general meeting must be given to all of our shareholders and to our auditors. Our constitution provides for a minimum notice period for an annual general meeting of 21 days, which is the minimum permitted under Irish law.

Generally speaking, the only matters which must, as a matter of Irish law, be transacted at an annual general meeting are (i) the presentation of the annual statutory financial statements, balance sheet and reports of the directors and auditors, (ii) the appointment of new auditors and the fixing of the auditor’s remuneration (or delegation of same) and (iii) the review by the members of the company’s affairs. If no resolution is made in respect of the reappointment of an existing auditor at an annual general meeting, the existing auditor will be deemed to have continued in office. Under our constitution, each director will be required to retire from office at each annual general meeting and shall be eligible for reelection.

As provided under Irish law, extraordinary general meetings may be convened (i) by our board of directors, (ii) by request of our shareholders holding not less than 10% of our paid up share capital carrying voting rights for so long as our shares are not admitted to trading on a regulated market in any member state of the European Union, (iii) by request of our statutory auditor in connection with its resignation or (iv) in exceptional cases, by court order.

At least 21 days’ notice of any annual general meeting or general meeting at which a special resolution is proposed and 14 days in all other circumstances must be given to shareholders, each director and our auditors, under our constitution. The notice periods prescribed for the convening of general meetings are on the basis of “clear” days, meaning the deemed date of receipt of the notice and the date of the meeting itself are not counted towards the minimum number of days’ notice required.

In the case of an extraordinary general meeting convened by our shareholders, the proposed purpose of the meeting must be set out in the requisition notice. Upon receipt of any such valid requisition notice, our board of directors will have 21 days to convene a meeting of our shareholders to vote on the matters set out in the requisition notice. This meeting must be held within two months of the receipt of the requisition notice. If our board of directors does not convene the meeting within such 21-day period, the requisitioning shareholders, or any of them representing more than one half of the total voting rights of all of them, may themselves convene a meeting, which meeting must be held within three months of our receipt of the requisition notice.

If our board of directors becomes aware that our net assets are not greater than half of the amount of our called-up share capital, the directors must convene an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders not later than 28 days from the date that they learn of this fact to consider how to address the situation.

Under our constitution, the presence, in person or by proxy, of one or more shareholders holding not less than a majority of our issued shares that carry the right to vote at the meeting constitutes a quorum for the conduct of any business at a general meeting.

Our constitution provides that the board may fix in advance a date as the record date (i) for any such determination of members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the members, which record date shall not be more than eighty (80) days before the date of such meeting, and (ii) for the purpose of determining the members entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, or in order to make a determination of members for any other proper purpose, which record date shall not be more than eighty (80) days prior to the date of payment of such dividend or other distribution or the taking of any action to which such determination of members is relevant.

If no record date is fixed for the determination of members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of members, the date immediately preceding the date on which notice of the meeting is deemed given under our constitution will be the record date for such determination of members.

Under Irish law, there is no general right for a shareholder to put items on the agenda of an annual general meeting of a U.S.-listed company, other than as set out in the constitution of a company. Under our constitution, in addition to any other applicable requirements, for business or nominations to be properly brought before an annual general meeting by a shareholder, such shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to our corporate secretary in a timely manner as prescribed in the constitution.

For nominations to the board, the notice must include all information about the director nominee that is required to be disclosed by SEC rules regarding the solicitation of proxies for the election of directors pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act. For other business that a shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, the notice must include a brief description of the business, the reasons for proposing the business at the meeting and a discussion of any material interest of the shareholder in the business. Whether the notice relates to a nomination to the board of directors or to other business to be proposed at the meeting, the notice also must include information about the shareholder and the shareholder’s holdings of our ordinary shares. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed in accordance with these procedures (as set out in our constitution), and if any proposed business is not in compliance with these provisions, to declare that such defective proposal shall be disregarded.

The Irish Companies Act provides for a minimum of two directors. Our constitution provides that the number of directors will be not less than two and not more than twelve. The authorized number of directors within the prescribed range will be determined solely by our board of directors and does not require approval or ratification by the shareholders in a general meeting. Our directors will be elected by way of an ordinary resolution at a general meeting save that directors in contested elections will be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the relevant general meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. If the number of the directors is reduced below the fixed minimum number, the remaining director or directors may appoint an additional director or additional directors to make up such minimum or may convene a general meeting for the purpose of making such appointment. Casual vacancies may be filled by the board of directors.

Under our constitution, our board of directors has the authority to appoint directors to the board either to fill a vacancy or as an additional director. A vacancy on the board of directors created by the removal of a director may be filled by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders at the meeting at which such director is removed and, in the absence of such election or appointment, the remaining directors may fill the vacancy. The board of directors may fill a vacancy by an affirmative vote of a majority of the directors constituting a quorum. If there is an insufficient number of directors to constitute a quorum, the board may nonetheless act to fill such vacancies or call a general meeting of the shareholders. Under our constitution, if the board fills a vacancy, the director will hold this position as a director for a term that will coincide with the remaining term of the relevant class of director. If there is an appointment to fill a casual vacancy or an addition to the board, the total number of directors shall not at any time exceed the number of directors from time to time fixed by the board in accordance with our constitution.

Irish law does not expressly authorize or prohibit companies from issuing share purchase rights or adopting a shareholder rights plan as an anti-takeover measure; there is no directly relevant case law on this issue. We do not currently have a rights plan in place.

Our constitution expressly authorizes our board of directors to adopt a shareholder rights plan, subject to applicable law, including the Irish Takeover Rules and Substantial Acquisition Rules described below and the requirement for shareholder authorization for the issue of shares described above.

Subject to the Irish Takeover Rules described above, our board of directors also has power to issue any of our authorized and unissued shares on such terms and conditions as it may determine and any such action should be taken in the best interests of the Company. It is possible, however, that the terms and conditions of any issue of preferred shares could discourage a takeover or other transaction that holders of some or a majority of the ordinary shares believe to be in their best interests or in which holders might receive a premium for their shares over the then market price of the shares.

Our Class B Ordinary Shares have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BREA”.

Our corporate affairs will be governed by our constitution and applicable Irish law, including the Irish Companies Act. Irish laws differ from the various state laws applicable to U.S. corporations and their stockholders. The following is a summary of the material differences between Irish law and the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL, the Irish laws and our governing corporate instruments. Before investing, you should consult your legal advisor regarding the impact of Irish corporate law on your specific circumstances and reasons for investing.

Under the DGCL, the board of directors must consist of at least one number. The number of directors shall be fixed by the bylaws of the corporation, unless the certificate of incorporation fixes the number of directors, in which case a change in the number of directors shall only be made by an amendment of the certificate of incorporation. Under the DGCL, directors are elected at annual stockholder meetings by a plurality vote of the stockholders, unless a shareholder-adopted bylaw prescribes a different required vote.

Delaware law does not have director residency requirements comparable to those of the Irish Companies Act. Delaware law permits a corporation to prescribe qualifications for directors under its certificate of incorporation or bylaws.

Under the Irish Companies Act, a director is not required to hold a share in our capital as qualification for his or her office but must be qualified as required by the Irish Companies Act to become, act or continue to act as a director. The Irish Companies Act provides that the following persons are disqualified from being a director of a corporation: (i) anyone who is less than 18 years of age; (ii) a person who is not an individual; and (iii) a person who has the status of a bankrupt. Further, the Irish Companies Act provides that at least one of the directors of the company must be resident in a state in the European Economic Area, or EEA state, and if not, a bond is required to be put in place under section 137 of the Irish Companies Act.

Under the DGCL, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors, may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.

Any vacancy on our board of directors, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors or from the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal of a director, shall be deemed a casual vacancy. A vacancy on the board of directors created by the removal of a director may be filled by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders at the meeting at which such director is removed and, in the absence of such election or appointment, the remaining directors may fill the vacancy. The board of directors may fill a vacancy by an affirmative vote of a majority of the directors constituting a quorum, provided that the appointment does not cause the number of directors to exceed any number fixed by or in accordance with our constitution as the maximum number of directors. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall have the same remaining term as that of his predecessor. A director retiring at a meeting shall retain office until the close or adjournment of the meeting.

The DGCL generally provides that no transaction between a corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between a corporation and any other corporation or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers, are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the board or committee which authorizes the transaction, or solely because any such director’s or officer’s votes are counted for such purpose, if (i) the material facts as to the director’s or officer’s interest and as to the transaction are known to the board of directors or the committee, and the board or committee in good faith authorizes the transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; (ii) the material facts as to the director’s or officer’s interest and as to the transaction are disclosed or are known to the shareholders entitled to vote thereon, and the transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the shareholders; or (iii) the transaction is fair as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the board of directors, a committee or the shareholders.

Our constitution provides that an interested director may vote on a resolution concerning a matter in which he or she has declared an interest.

The DGCL permits a corporation to include a provision in its certificate of incorporation eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of the director’s fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability: (i) for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL which concerns unlawful payment of dividends, stock purchases or redemptions; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

To the fullest extent permitted by Irish law, our constitution contains indemnification for the benefit of our directors, company secretary and executive officers. However, as to our directors and company secretary, this indemnity will be limited by the Irish Companies Act, which prescribes that an advance commitment to indemnify only permits a company to pay the costs or discharge the liability of a director or company secretary where judgment is given in favor of the director or company secretary in any civil or criminal action in respect of such costs or liability, or where an Irish court grants relief because the director or company secretary acted honestly and reasonably and ought fairly to be excused. Any provision whereby an Irish company seeks to commit in advance to indemnify its directors or company secretary over and above the limitations imposed by the Irish Companies Act will be void, whether contained in its constitution or any contract between the company and the director or company secretary. This restriction will not apply to our executive officers who are not directors, our company secretary or other persons who would not be considered “officers” within the meaning of the Irish Companies Act.

We will be permitted under our constitution and the Irish Companies Act to take out directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, as well as other types of insurance, for our directors, officers, employees and agents. In order to attract and retain qualified directors and officers, we expect to purchase and maintain customary directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and other types of comparable insurance.

Under Delaware law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, written notice of any meeting of the stockholders must be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting not less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting and shall specify the place, date, hour, and purpose or purposes of the meeting.

Under the DGCL, an annual or special stockholder meeting is held on such date, at such time and at such place as may be designated by the board of directors or any other person authorized to call such meeting under the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws. If an annual meeting for election of directors is not held on the date designated or an action by written consent to elect directors in lieu of an annual meeting has not been taken within 30 days after the date designated for the annual meeting, or if no date has been designated, for a period of 13 months after the later of the last annual meeting or the last action by written consent to elect directors in lieu of an annual meeting, the Delaware Court of Chancery may summarily order a meeting to be held upon the application of any stockholder or director.

In the case of an extraordinary general meeting convened by our shareholders, the proposed purpose of the meeting must be set out in the requisition notice. Upon receipt of this requisition notice, our board of directors will have 21 days to convene a meeting of our shareholders to vote on the matters set out in the requisition notice. This meeting must be held within two months of the receipt of the requisition notice. If our board of directors does not convene the meeting within such 21-day period, the requisitioning shareholders, or any of them representing more than one-half of the total voting rights of all of them, may themselves convene a meeting, which meeting must be held within three months of the receipt of the requisition notice.

Under the DGCL, a majority of the stockholders of a corporation may act by written consent without a meeting unless such action is prohibited by the corporation’s certificate of incorporation.

Under the Irish Companies Act and the constitution, a written resolution signed by all the shareholders of a corporation who would have been entitled to vote on the resolution at a meeting is effective to approve the resolution.

Under the DGCL, at any meeting of stockholders, a stockholder may designate another person to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A director of a Delaware corporation may not issue a proxy representing the director’s voting rights as a director.

Under Irish law, a shareholder may designate another person to attend, speak and vote at a general meeting of the company on their behalf by proxy, which proxy need not be a shareholder. Voting rights may be exercised by shareholders registered in the share register as of the record date for the meeting or by a duly appointed proxy of such a registered shareholder. Where interests in shares are held by a nominee trust company, this company may exercise the rights of the beneficial holders on their behalf as their proxy. All proxies must be appointed in accordance with our constitution. Our constitution permits the appointment of proxies by our shareholders to be notified to us electronically, when permitted by our directors.

Generally, under the DGCL, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote is required to approve a proposed amendment to the certificate of incorporation, following the adoption of the amendment by the board of directors of the corporation, provided that the certificate of incorporation may provide for a greater vote. Under the DGCL, holders of outstanding shares of a class or series are entitled to vote separately on an amendment to the certificate of incorporation if the amendment would have certain consequences, including changes that adversely affect the rights and preferences of such class or series.

Under the DGCL, after a corporation has received any payment for any of its stock, the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws shall be vested in the stockholders entitled to vote; provided, however, that any corporation nay, in its certificate of incorporation, provide that bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the board of directors. The fact that such power has been conferred upon the board of directors shall not divest the stockholders of the power nor limit their power to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws.

Irish law requires a special resolution of our shareholders (approval by not less than 75% of the votes cast at a general meeting of our shareholders) to approve any amendments to our constitution.

The DGCL provides that, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, the adoption of a merger agreement requires the approval of a majority of the outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote thereon.

Pursuant to Irish law, shareholder approval in connection with a transaction involving the Company would be required under the following circumstances:

Under the DGCL, a stockholder of a Delaware corporation generally has the right to dissent from a merger or consolidation in which the Delaware corporation is participating, subject to specified procedural requirements, including that such dissenting stockholder does not vote in favor of the merger or consolidation. However, the DGCL does not confer appraisal rights, in certain circumstances, including if the dissenting stockholder owns shares traded on a national securities exchange and will receive publicly traded shares in the merger or consolidation. Under the DGCL, a stockholder asserting appraisal rights does not receive any payment for his or her shares until the court determines the fair value or the parties otherwise agree to a value. The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the court and assessed against the parties as the court deems equitable under the circumstances.

Generally, under Irish law, shareholders of an Irish company do not have statutory appraisal rights. If we are being merged as the transferor company with another EEA company under the European Communities (Cross-Border Merger) Regulations 2008 (as amended) or if we are being merged with another Irish company under the Irish Companies Act, (i) any of our shareholders who voted against the special resolution approving the merger or (ii) if 90% of our shares are held by the successor company, any other of our shareholders, may be entitled to require that the successor company acquire its shares for cash.

Under Delaware law, stockholders have no preemptive rights to subscribe to additional issues of stock or to any security convertible into such stock unless, and except to the extent that, such rights are expressly provided for in the certificate of incorporation.

Under Irish law, unless otherwise authorized, when an Irish public limited company issues shares for cash to new shareholders, it is required first to offer those shares on the same or more favorable terms to existing shareholders of the company on a pro rata basis, commonly referred to as the statutory preemption right. However, we have opted out of these preemption rights in our constitution as permitted under Irish law. Because Irish law permits this opt-out to last for a maximum of five years, our constitution provides that this opt-out will lapse five years after the adoption of our constitution. Such opt-out may be renewed by a special resolution of the shareholders. A special resolution requires not less than 75% of the votes cast at a general meeting of our shareholders. If the opt-out is not renewed, shares issued for cash must be offered to our preexisting shareholders pro rata before the shares can be issued to any new shareholders. The statutory preemption rights do not apply where shares are issued for noncash consideration and do not apply to the issue of non-equity shares (that is, shares that have the right to participate only up to a specified amount in any income or capital distribution).

Under Delaware law, stockholders may bring derivative actions on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the corporation. The plaintiff in a derivative action on behalf of the corporation either must be or have been a stockholder of the corporation at the time of the transaction or must be a stockholder who became a stockholder by operation of law in the transaction regarding which the stockholder complains.

Under Irish law, the decision to institute proceedings is generally taken by a company’s board of directors, who will usually be empowered to manage the company’s business. In certain limited circumstances, a shareholder may be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company.

The central question at issue in deciding whether a minority shareholder may be permitted to bring a derivative action is whether, unless the action is brought, a wrong committed against the company would otherwise go unredressed.

The principal case law under Irish law indicates that to bring a derivative action a person must first establish a prima facie case (i) that the company is entitled to the relief claimed and (ii) that the action falls within one of the five exceptions derived from case law, as follows:

Shareholders may also bring proceedings against the company where the affairs of the company are being conducted, or the powers of the directors are being exercised, in a manner oppressive to the shareholders or in disregard of their interests. Oppression connotes conduct that is burdensome, harsh or wrong.

Conduct must relate to the internal management of the company. This is an Irish statutory remedy and the court can grant any order it sees fit, usually providing for the purchase or transfer of the shares of any shareholder.

Unless an issuer opts out of the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, Section 203 generally prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with a holder of 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock (as defined in Section 203), referred to as an interested stockholder, for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder, except as otherwise provided in Section 203. For these purposes, the term “business combination” includes mergers, assets sales and other similar transactions with an interested stockholder.

A transaction in which a third party seeks to acquire 30% or more of our voting rights and any other acquisitions of our securities will be governed by the Irish Takeover Panel Act 1997 and the Irish Takeover Rules made thereunder, and will be regulated by the Irish Takeover Panel. The general principles of the Irish Takeover Rules, or the General Principles, and certain important aspects of the Irish Takeover Rules are described below.

The Irish Takeover Rules are built on the following General Principles which will apply to any transaction regulated by the Irish Takeover Panel:

Under certain circumstances, a person who acquires shares, or other voting securities, of a company may be required under the Irish Takeover Rules to make a mandatory cash offer for the remaining outstanding voting securities in that company at a price not less than the highest price paid for the securities by the acquiror, or any parties acting in concert with the acquiror, during the previous 12 months. This mandatory bid requirement is triggered if an acquisition of securities would increase the aggregate holding of an acquiror, including the holdings of any parties acting in concert with the acquiror, to securities representing 30% or more of the voting rights in a company, unless the Irish Takeover Panel otherwise consents. An acquisition of securities by a person holding, together with its concert parties, securities representing between 30% and 50% of the voting rights in a company would also trigger the mandatory bid requirement if, after giving effect to the acquisition, the percentage of the voting rights held by that person, together with its concert parties, would increase by 0.05% within a 12-month period. Any person, excluding any parties acting in concert with the holder, holding securities representing more than 50% of the voting rights of a company is not subject to these mandatory offer requirements in purchasing additional securities.

Voluntary Bid; Requirements to Make a Cash Offer and Minimum Price Requirement

If a person makes a voluntary offer to acquire our outstanding ordinary shares, the offer price must not be less than the highest price paid for our ordinary shares by the bidder or its concert parties during the three-month period prior to the commencement of the offer period. The Irish Takeover Panel has the power to extend the “look back” period to 12 months if the Irish Takeover Panel, taking into account the General Principles, believes it is appropriate to do so.

If the bidder or any of its concert parties has acquired our ordinary shares (1) during the 12-month period prior to the commencement of the offer period that represent more than 10% of our total ordinary shares or (2) at any time after the commencement of the offer period, the offer must be in cash or accompanied by a full cash alternative and the price per share must not be less than the highest price paid by the bidder or its concert parties during, in the case of clause (1), the 12-month period prior to the commencement of the offer period or, in the case of (2), the offer period. The Irish Takeover Panel may apply this Rule to a bidder who, together with its concert parties, has acquired less than 10% of our total ordinary shares in the 12-month period prior to the commencement of the offer period if the Irish Takeover Panel, taking into account the General Principles, considers it just and proper to do so.

An offer period will generally commence from the date of the first announcement of the offer or proposed offer.

The Irish Takeover Rules also contain rules governing substantial acquisitions of shares and other voting securities which restrict the speed at which a person may increase his or her holding of shares and rights over shares to an aggregate of between 15% and 30% of the voting rights of the company. Except in certain circumstances, an acquisition or series of acquisitions of shares or rights over shares representing 10% or more of the voting rights of the company is prohibited, if such acquisition(s), when aggregated with shares or rights already held, would result in the acquirer holding 15% or more but less than 30% of the voting rights of the company and such acquisitions are made within a period of seven days. These rules also require accelerated disclosure of acquisitions of shares or rights over shares relating to such holdings.

Under the Irish Takeover Rules, our board of directors is not permitted to take any action that might frustrate an offer for our shares once our board of directors has received an approach that may lead to an offer or has reason to believe that such an offer is or may be imminent, subject to certain exceptions. Potentially frustrating actions such as (1) the issue of shares, options, restricted share units or convertible securities, (2) material acquisitions or disposals, (3) entering into contracts other than in the ordinary course of business or (4) any action, other than seeking alternative offers, which may result in frustration of an offer, are prohibited during the course of an offer or at any earlier time during which our board of directors has reason to believe an offer is or may be imminent. Exceptions to this prohibition are available where:

Irish law does not expressly authorize or prohibit companies from issuing share purchase rights or adopting a shareholder rights plan as an anti-takeover measure. However, there is no directly relevant case law on the validity of such plans under Irish law. In addition, such a plan would be subject to the Irish Takeover Rules and the General Principles underlying the Irish Takeover Rules. Our constitution allows our board of directors to adopt a shareholder rights plan upon such terms and conditions as our board of directors deems expedient and in the best interests of us, subject to applicable law.

Subject to the Irish Takeover Rules, our board of directors also has the power to issue any of our authorized and unissued shares on such terms and conditions as it may determine and any such action should be taken in our best interests. It is possible, however, that the terms and conditions of any issue of preference shares could discourage a takeover or other transaction that holders of some or a majority of the ordinary shares believe to be in their best interests or in which holders might receive a premium for their shares over the then-market price of the shares.

Under the Irish Companies Act, our shareholders must notify us if, as a result of a transaction, the shareholder will become interested in 3% or more of our voting shares, or if as a result of a transaction a shareholder who was interested in 3% or more of our voting shares ceases to be so interested. Where a shareholder is interested in 3% or more of our voting shares, the shareholder must notify us of any alteration of his or her interest that brings his or her total holding through the nearest whole percentage number, whether an increase or a reduction. The relevant percentage figure is calculated by reference to the aggregate nominal value of the voting shares in which the shareholder is interested as a proportion of the entire nominal value of our issued share capital (or any such class of share capital in issue). Where the percentage level of the shareholder’s interest does not amount to a whole percentage, this figure may be rounded down to the next whole number. We must be notified within five business days of the transaction or alteration of the shareholder’s interests that gave rise to the notification requirement. If a shareholder fails to comply with these notification requirements, the shareholder’s rights in respect of any of our shares it holds will not be enforceable, either directly or indirectly. However, such person may apply to the court to have the rights attaching to such shares reinstated.

In addition to these disclosure requirements, we, under the Irish Companies Act, may, by notice in writing, require a person whom we know or have reasonable cause to believe to be, or at any time during the three years immediately preceding the date on which such notice is issued to have been, interested in shares comprised in our relevant share capital to (i) indicate whether or not it is the case and (ii) where such person holds or has during that time held an interest in our shares, provide additional information, including the person’s own past or present interests in our shares. If the recipient of the notice fails to respond within the reasonable time period specified in the notice, we may apply to the Irish court for an order directing that the affected shares be subject to certain restrictions, as prescribed by the Irish Companies Act, as follows:

The court may also order that shares subject to any of these restrictions be sold with the restrictions terminating upon the completion of the sale.

In the event we are in an offer period pursuant to the Irish Takeover Rules, accelerated disclosure provisions apply for persons holding an interest in our securities of 1% or more.

Before the initial public offering, there has not been a public market for shares of our ordinary shares. Future sales of substantial amounts of ordinary shares, including shares issued upon the conversion of convertible notes, the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, in the public market after the initial public offering, or the possibility of these sales occurring, could cause the prevailing market price for our ordinary shares to fall or impair our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

Immediately following the closing of our initial public offering, we will have 3,705,000 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. In the event the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full, we will have 3,930,000 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. The Class B Ordinary Shares sold in the initial public offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration or qualification under the Securities Act.

Previously issued ordinary shares that were not offered and sold in the initial public offering, as well as shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and subject to employee stock options, are or will be upon issuance, “restricted securities,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. These restricted securities are eligible for public sale only if such public resale is registered under the Securities Act or if the resale qualifies for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act, which are summarized below.

In general, a person who has beneficially owned restricted ordinary shares for at least twelve months, or at least six months in the event we have been a reporting company under the Exchange Act for at least ninety (90) days before the sale, would be entitled to sell such securities, provided that such person is not deemed to be an affiliate of ours at the time of sale or to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the ninety (90) days preceding the sale. A person who is an affiliate of ours at such time would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of the following:

provided that, in each case, we are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days before the sale. Rule 144 trades must also comply with the manner of sale, notice and other provisions of Rule 144, to the extent applicable.

In general, Rule 701 allows a shareholder who purchased shares pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours during the immediately preceding 90 days to sell those shares in reliance upon Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. All holders of Rule 701 shares, however, are required to wait until ninety (90) days after the date of this prospectus before selling shares pursuant to Rule 701.

We, all of our directors and officers, and holders of 10% or more of our outstanding ordinary shares have agreed with the underwriters, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell, transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of our ordinary shares or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our ordinary shares for a period of 12 months after the date of the Public Offering Prospectus. The underwriters have agreed to waive the lock-up requirement for Class B Ordinary Shares being sold by the selling shareholders named in the Resale Prospectus. See “Underwriting—Company Lock-Up” in the Public Offering Prospectus.

The following summary contains a description of material Irish and U.S. federal tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our Class B Ordinary Shares. This summary should not be considered a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to the decision to acquire ordinary shares in this offering.

The following is a summary of the material Irish tax consequences for certain beneficial holders of our Class B Ordinary Shares. The summary is based upon Irish tax laws and the practice of the Revenue Commissioners of Ireland in effect on the date of this prospectus and correspondence with the Revenue Commissioners of Ireland. Changes in law and/or administrative practice may result in alteration of the tax considerations described below, possibly with retrospective effect.

The summary does not constitute tax advice and is intended only as a general guide. The summary is not exhaustive, and holders of our Class B Ordinary Shares should consult their own tax advisors about the Irish tax consequences (and the tax consequences under the laws of other relevant jurisdictions) of this offering, including the acquisition, ownership, and disposal of our Class B Ordinary Shares. The summary applies only to shareholders who will own our Class B Ordinary Shares as capital assets and does not apply to other categories of shareholders, such as dealers in securities, trustees, insurance companies, collective investment schemes and shareholders who have, or who are deemed to have, acquired ordinary shares by virtue of an Irish office or employment (performed or carried on in Ireland).

The current rate of tax on chargeable gains (where applicable) in Ireland is 33%.

A disposal of our Class B Ordinary Shares by a shareholder who is not resident or ordinarily resident for tax purposes in Ireland will not give rise to Irish tax on any chargeable gain realized on such disposal unless such Class B Ordinary Shares are used in or for the purposes of a trade carried on by such shareholder in Ireland through a branch or agency or are used or held or acquired for use by or for the purposes of such a branch or agency.

A holder of our Class B Ordinary Shares who is an individual and who is temporarily non-resident in Ireland may, under Irish anti-avoidance legislation, be liable to Irish tax on any chargeable gain realized on a disposal of our Class B Ordinary Shares during the period in which such individual is non-resident.

The rate of stamp duty (where applicable) on transfers of shares in Irish incorporated companies generally is 1% of the price paid or the market value of the shares acquired, whichever is greater. Where Irish stamp duty arises, it is generally a liability of the buyer or transferee. Irish stamp duty may, depending on the manner in which our Class B Ordinary Shares are held, be payable in respect of transfers of our Class B Ordinary Shares.

It is expected that a transfer of our Class B Ordinary Shares effected by means of the transfer book entry interests in DTC will not be subject to Irish stamp duty.

A transfer of our Class B Ordinary Shares where any party to the transfer holds such shares outside of DTC may be subject to Irish stamp duty. Holders of our Class B Ordinary Shares wishing to transfer their shares into (or out of) DTC may do so without giving rise to Irish stamp duty provided that:

Due to the potential Irish stamp duty charge on transfers of our Class B Ordinary Shares, any person who wishes to acquire shares of our company should consider acquiring such shares through DTC.

We do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we do make dividend payments (or other returns to shareholders that are treated as “distributions” for Irish tax purposes), it should be noted that such distributions made by us will, in the absence of one of many exemptions, be subject to Irish dividend withholding tax, or DWT, currently at a rate of 25%.

For DWT purposes, a distribution includes any distribution that may be made by us to our shareholders, including cash dividends, non-cash dividends and additional stock taken in lieu of a cash dividend. Where an exemption does not apply in respect of a distribution made to a particular shareholder, we are responsible for withholding DWT prior to making such distribution.

The following is a general overview of the scenarios where it will be possible for us to make payments of dividends without deduction of DWT.

Irish domestic law provides that a non-Irish resident holder of our Class B Ordinary Shares is not subject to DWT on dividends received from us if such shareholder is beneficially entitled to the dividend and is either:

and provided, in all cases noted above, we have received from the holder of our Class B Ordinary Shares, where required, the relevant Irish Revenue Commissioners DWT Form(s) prior to the payment of the dividend and such DWT Form(s) remain valid.

For non-Irish resident holders of our Class B Ordinary Shares that cannot avail themselves of one of Ireland’s domestic law exemptions from DWT, it may be possible for such shareholders to rely on the provisions of a double tax treaty to which Ireland is party to reduce the rate of DWT.

The holders of our Class B Ordinary Shares that do not fall within any of the categories specifically referred to above may nonetheless fall within other exemptions from DWT (subject if required to certain administrative obligations being satisfied). If any holders of our Class B Ordinary Shares are exempt from DWT, but receive dividends subject to DWT, such shareholders may apply for refunds of such DWT from the Revenue Commissioners of Ireland.

Irish income tax may arise for certain persons in respect of dividends received from Irish resident companies. A shareholder that is not resident or, in the case of individuals, ordinarily resident in Ireland and that is entitled to an exemption from DWT generally has no liability to Irish income tax or the universal social charge on a dividend received from us. An exception to this position may apply where such holder holds our Class B Ordinary Shares through a branch or agency in Ireland through which a trade is carried on.

A holder of our Class B Ordinary Shares that is not resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland and that is not entitled to an exemption from DWT generally has no additional Irish income tax liability or a liability to the universal social charge. The DWT deducted by us discharges the liability to income tax. An exception to this position may apply where the holder holds our Class B Ordinary Shares through a branch or agency in Ireland through which a trade is carried on.

Irish capital acquisitions tax, or CAT, comprises principally gift tax and inheritance tax. CAT could apply to a gift or inheritance of our Class B Ordinary Shares irrespective of the place of residence, ordinary residence or domicile of the parties. This is because our Class B Ordinary Shares are regarded as property situated in Ireland for Irish CAT purposes as our share register must be held in Ireland. The person who receives the gift or inheritance has primary liability for CAT.

CAT is currently levied at a rate of 33% above certain tax-free thresholds. The appropriate tax-free threshold is dependent upon (i) the relationship between the donor and the donee, and (ii) the aggregation of the values of previous taxable gifts and taxable inheritances received by the donee from persons within the same group threshold. Gifts and inheritances passing between spouses of the same marriage or civil partners of the same civil partnership are exempt from CAT. Children have a tax-free threshold of €335,000 in respect of taxable gifts or inheritances received from their parents. The holders of our Class B Ordinary Shares should consult their own tax advisors as to whether CAT is creditable or deductible in computing any domestic tax liabilities.

There is also a “small gift exemption” from CAT whereby the first €3,000 of the taxable value of all taxable gifts taken by a donee from any one donor, in each calendar year, is exempt from CAT and is also excluded from any future aggregation. This exemption does not apply to an inheritance.

THE IRISH TAX CONSIDERATIONS SUMMARIZED ABOVE ARE FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. HOLDERS OF OUR CLASS B ORDINARY SHARES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES IN IRELAND, INCLUDING RELATING TO THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSAL OF SUCH ORDINARY SHARES.

The following discussion describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares by U.S. Holders (as defined below). This discussion applies to U.S. Holders that purchase our ordinary shares pursuant to this prospectus and hold such ordinary shares as capital assets. This discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, and the income tax treaty between Ireland and the United States (the “Treaty”), all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to specific U.S. Holders in light of their particular circumstances or to U.S. Holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law (such as certain financial institutions, insurance companies, currency or securities dealers and traders in securities or other persons that generally mark their securities to market for U.S. federal income tax purposes, tax-exempt entities, retirement plans, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, certain former citizens or residents of the United States, persons who hold our ordinary shares as part of a “straddle”, “hedge”, “conversion transaction”, “synthetic security” or integrated investment, persons that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar, persons that own directly, indirectly or through attribution 10% or more of the voting power of our shares, corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, persons subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code, partnerships and other pass-through entities, and investors in such pass-through entities). This discussion does not address any U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax consequences or any U.S. federal estate, gift or alternative minimum tax consequences.

As used in this discussion, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of our ordinary shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source or (iv) a trust (x) with respect to which a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions or (y) that has elected under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a domestic trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our ordinary shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to an investment in our ordinary shares will depend in part upon the status and activities of such entity and the particular partner. Any such entity should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to it and its partners of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares. Persons considering an investment in our ordinary shares should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular tax consequences applicable to them relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares, including the applicability of U.S. federal, state and local tax laws and non-U.S. tax laws.

In general, a corporation organized outside the United States will be treated as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for any taxable year in which either (1) at least 75% of its gross income is “passive income” or (2) on average at least 50% of its assets, determined on a quarterly basis, are assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income for this purpose generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, royalties, rents, and gains from the sale or exchange of property that gives rise to passive income. Assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income generally include cash, even if held as working capital or raised in a public offering, marketable securities, and other assets that may produce passive income. Generally, in determining whether a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC, a proportionate share of the income and assets of each corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, at least a 25% interest (by value) is taken into account.

Although we do not believe that we were a PFIC for the year ending December 31, 2021, our determination is based on an interpretation of complex provisions of the law, which are not addressed in a significant number of administrative pronouncements or rulings by the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our conclusions regarding our status as a PFIC for the 2021 taxable year will not be challenged by the IRS and, if challenged, upheld in appropriate proceedings. In addition, because PFIC status is determined on an annual basis and generally cannot be determined until the end of the taxable year, there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for the current taxable year. Because we may continue to hold a substantial amount of cash and cash equivalents, and because the calculation of the value of our assets may be based in part on the value of our ordinary shares, which may fluctuate considerably, we may be a PFIC in future taxable years. Even if we determine that we are not a PFIC for a taxable year, there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with our conclusion and that the IRS would not successfully challenge our position. Our status as a PFIC is a fact-intensive determination made on an annual basis.

If we are a PFIC in any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder owns our ordinary shares, the U.S. Holder could be liable for additional taxes and interest charges under the “PFIC excess distribution regime” upon (1) a distribution paid during a taxable year that is greater than 125% of the average annual distributions paid in the three preceding taxable years, or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for our ordinary shares, and (2) any gain recognized on a sale, exchange or other disposition, including a pledge, of our ordinary shares, whether or not we continue to be a PFIC. Under the PFIC excess distribution regime, the tax on such distribution or gain would be determined by allocating the distribution or gain ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for our ordinary shares. The amount allocated to the current taxable year (i.e., the year in which the distribution occurs or the gain is recognized) and any year prior to the first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income earned in the current taxable year. The amount allocated to other taxable years will be taxed at the highest marginal rates in effect for individuals or corporations, as applicable, to ordinary income for each such taxable year, and an interest charge, generally applicable to underpayments of tax, will be added to the tax.

If we are a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ordinary shares, that U.S. Holder must generally continue to treat us as a PFIC for all succeeding years during which the U.S. Holder holds our ordinary shares, unless we cease to meet the requirements for PFIC status and the U.S. Holder makes a “deemed sale” election with respect to our ordinary shares. If the election is made, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to sell our ordinary shares it holds at their fair market value on the last day of the last taxable year in which we qualified as a PFIC, and any gain recognized from such deemed sale would be taxed under the PFIC excess distribution regime. After the deemed sale election, the U.S. Holder’s ordinary shares would not be treated as shares of a PFIC unless we subsequently again become a PFIC.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ordinary shares and one of our non-U.S. corporate subsidiaries is also a PFIC (i.e., a lower-tier PFIC), such U.S. Holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of the lower-tier PFIC and would be taxed under the PFIC excess distribution regime on distributions by the lower-tier PFIC and on gain from the disposition of shares of the lower-tier PFIC even though such U.S. Holder would not receive the proceeds of those distributions or dispositions. U.S. Holders are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to our non-U.S. subsidiaries.

If we are a PFIC, a U.S. Holder will not be subject to tax under the PFIC excess distribution regime on distributions or gain recognized on our ordinary shares if such U.S. Holder makes a valid “mark-to-market” election for our ordinary shares. A mark-to-market election is available to a U.S. Holder only for “marketable stock”.

Our ordinary shares will be marketable stock so long as they remain listed on Nasdaq and are regularly traded, other than in de minimis quantities, on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. If a mark-to-market election is in effect, a U.S. Holder generally would take into account, as ordinary income each year, the excess of the fair market value of our ordinary shares held at the end of such taxable year over the adjusted tax basis of such ordinary shares. The U.S. Holder would also take into account, as an ordinary loss each year, the excess of the adjusted tax basis of such our ordinary shares over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the excess of amounts previously included in income over ordinary losses deducted as a result of the mark-to-market election. The U.S. Holder’s tax basis in our ordinary shares would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss recognized as a result of the mark-to-market election. Any gain from a sale, exchange or other disposition of our ordinary shares in any taxable year in which we are a PFIC would be treated as ordinary income and any loss from such sale, exchange or other disposition would be treated first as ordinary loss (to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains previously included in income) and thereafter as capital loss.

A mark-to-market election will not apply to our ordinary shares for any taxable year during which we are not a PFIC, but it will remain in effect with respect to any subsequent taxable year in which we become a PFIC. Such election will not apply to any non-U.S. subsidiaries that we may organize or acquire in the future. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to tax under the PFIC excess distribution regime with respect to any lower-tier PFICs that we may organize or acquire in the future notwithstanding the U.S. Holder’s mark-to-market election for our ordinary shares.

The tax consequences that would apply if we are or become a PFIC would also be different from those described above if a U.S. Holder were able to make a valid qualified electing fund, or QEF, election. At this time, we do not expect to provide U.S. Holders with the information necessary for a U.S. Holder to make a QEF election. Consequently, prospective investors should assume that a QEF election will not be available.

U.S. persons who are investors in a PFIC are generally required to file an annual information return on IRS Form 8621 containing such information as the U.S. Treasury Department may require. The failure to file IRS Form 8621 could result in the imposition of penalties and the extension of the statute of limitations with respect to U.S. federal income tax.

The U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs are very complex. Prospective U.S. investors are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the impact of PFIC status on the purchase, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares, the consequences to them of an investment in a PFIC, any elections available with respect to our ordinary shares and the IRS information reporting obligations with respect to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the ordinary shares of a PFIC.

Subject to the discussion above under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences”, a U.S. Holder that receives a distribution with respect to our ordinary shares generally will be required to include the gross amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend when actually or constructively received to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of our current and/or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). To the extent a distribution received by a U.S. Holder is not a dividend because it exceeds the U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital and reduce (but not below zero) the adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder’s ordinary shares. To the extent the non-dividend portion of the distribution exceeds the adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder’s ordinary shares, the remainder will be taxed as capital gain. Because we may not account for our earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, U.S. Holders should expect all distributions to be reported to them as dividends. Distributions on our ordinary shares that are treated as dividends generally will constitute income from sources outside the United States for foreign tax credit purposes and generally will constitute passive category income. Such dividends will not be eligible for the “dividends received” deduction generally allowed to corporate shareholders with respect to dividends received from U.S. corporations.

As discussed above under “Dividend Policy”, we do not currently expect to make distributions on our ordinary shares. Subject to the discussion above under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences”, for so long as our ordinary shares are listed on Nasdaq or we are eligible for benefits under the Treaty, dividends paid to certain non-corporate U.S. Holders will be eligible for taxation as “qualified dividend income” and therefore, subject to applicable holding period requirements, will be taxable at rates not in excess of the long-term capital gain rate applicable to such U.S. Holder. The amount of a dividend will include any amounts withheld by us in respect of Irish income taxes. The amount of the dividend will be treated as foreign source dividend income to U.S. Holders and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally available to U.S. corporations under the Code. Dividends will be included in a U.S. Holder’s income on the date of the U.S. Holder’s receipt of the dividend. The amount of any dividend income paid in Euros will be the U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date of actual or constructive receipt, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars at that time. If the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. A U.S. Holder may have foreign currency gain or loss if the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars at a later date.

Subject to applicable limitations, some of which vary depending upon the U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, Irish income taxes withheld from dividends on ordinary shares (at a rate not exceeding the rate provided by the Treaty) will be creditable against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex and U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the creditability of foreign taxes in their particular circumstances. In lieu of claiming a foreign tax credit, U.S. Holders may, at their election, deduct foreign taxes, including any Irish income tax, in computing their taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S. law. An election to deduct foreign taxes instead of claiming foreign tax credits applies to all foreign taxes paid or accrued in the taxable year.

Dividends paid by a “qualified foreign corporation” are eligible for taxation for certain non-corporate U.S. Holders at a reduced capital gains rate rather than the marginal tax rates generally applicable to ordinary income provided that certain requirements are met. However, if we are a PFIC for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year (see discussion above under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences”), we will not be treated as a qualified foreign corporation, and therefore the reduced capital gains tax rate described above will not apply. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced tax rate on dividends with regard to its particular circumstances.

A non-U.S. corporation (other than a corporation that is classified as a PFIC for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year) generally will be considered to be a qualified foreign corporation (a) if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the United States which the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury determines is satisfactory for purposes of this provision and which includes an exchange of information provision, or (b) with respect to any dividend it pays on ordinary shares that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. We believe that we qualify as a resident of Ireland for purposes of, and are eligible for the benefits of, the Treaty, although there can be no assurance in this regard. Further, the IRS has determined that the Treaty is satisfactory for purposes of the qualified dividend rules and that it includes an exchange of information provision. Therefore, subject to the discussion above under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences”, if the Treaty is applicable, such dividends will generally be “qualified dividend income” in the hands of individual U.S. Holders, provided that certain conditions are met, including holding period and the absence of certain risk reduction transactions.

Subject to the discussion above under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences”, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of our ordinary shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized (i.e., the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received) on the sale, exchange or other disposition and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our ordinary shares. Such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain taxable at a reduced rate for noncorporate U.S. Holders or long-term capital loss if, on the date of sale, exchange or other disposition, our ordinary shares were held by the U.S. Holder for more than one year. Any capital gain of a non-corporate U.S. Holder that is not long-term capital gain is taxed at ordinary income rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized from the sale or other disposition of our ordinary shares will generally be gain or loss from sources within the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

Certain U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds generally are subject to a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their net investment income, which may include their gross dividend income and net gains from the disposition of our ordinary shares. If you are a United States person that is an individual, estate or trust, you are encouraged to consult your tax advisors regarding the applicability of this Medicare tax to your income and gains in respect of your investment in our ordinary shares.

U.S. Holders may be required to file certain U.S. information reporting returns with the IRS with respect to an investment in our ordinary shares, including, among others, IRS Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets. As described above under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences”, each U.S. Holder who is a shareholder of a PFIC must file an annual report containing certain information. U.S. Holders paying more than $100,000 to acquire our ordinary shares are required to file IRS Form 926, Return by a U.S. Transferor of Property to a Foreign Corporation, reporting this payment. Substantial penalties may be imposed upon a U.S. Holder that fails to comply with the required information reporting.

U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the information reporting rules.

ALL PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS ABOUT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF AN INVESTMENT IN OUR ORDINARY SHARES IN LIGHT OF THE INVESTOR’S OWN CIRCUMSTANCES.

We were incorporated under the laws of Ireland. Almost all of our directors and officers reside outside of the United States. Service of process upon such persons may be difficult or impossible to effect within the United States. Furthermore, because most of our assets, and most of the assets of our directors and officers, are located outside of the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States, including a judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws, against us or any of such persons may not be collectible within the United States. It also may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to assert United States securities laws claims in original actions instituted in Ireland.

In addition, it may not be possible to enforce court judgments obtained in the United States against us in Ireland based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws. The United States currently does not have a treaty with Ireland providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters.

The following requirements must be met before a judgment of a U.S. court will be deemed to be enforceable in Ireland:

An Irish court will also exercise its right to refuse enforcement if the U.S. judgment was obtained by fraud, if the judgment violates Irish public policy, if the judgment is in breach of natural or constitutional justice or if it is irreconcilable with an earlier foreign judgment. There is some uncertainty as to whether the courts of Ireland would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or officers based on the civil liabilities provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws or hear actions against us or those persons based on those laws. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any U.S. federal or state court based on civil liability, whether or not based solely on U.S. federal or state securities laws, would not automatically be enforceable in Ireland.

Foreign judgments enforced by Irish courts generally will be payable in euros. An Irish court hearing an action to recover an amount in a non-Irish currency will render judgment for the equivalent amount in Irish currency.

Our agent for service of process in the United States is Cogency Global Inc.,122 East 42^nd Street, 18^th Floor, New York, NY 10168, (800) 221-0102.

We are registering the Class B Ordinary Shares in order to permit the selling shareholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of these securities or as otherwise disclosed below, the selling shareholders have not had any position, office, or other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three years, and based on the information provided to us by the selling shareholders, no selling shareholder is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. For purposes of this table, a person or group of persons is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any ordinary shares that such person or any member of such group has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days of the date of this prospectus. For purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding ordinary shares held by each person or group of persons named below, any shares that such person or persons has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days of the date of this prospectus are deemed to be outstanding for such person, but not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The inclusion herein of any shares listed as beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership by any person.

The table below lists the selling shareholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the ordinary shares by each of the selling shareholders. The second column lists the number of Class B Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by each selling shareholder. The third column lists the Class B Ordinary Shares being offered by this prospectus by the selling shareholders.

The selling shareholders can offer all, some or none of their Class B Ordinary Shares. See “Plan of Distribution.” We therefore have no way of determining the number of Class B Ordinary Shares each selling shareholder will hold after this offering. Therefore, the fourth and fifth columns assume that each selling shareholder will sell all Class B Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus.

Each selling shareholder and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales will occur at a fixed price of $5.00 per share until our Class B Ordinary Shares are quoted on the OTCQB or OTCQX marketplace, or listed on a national securities exchange. Thereafter, these sales will occur at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. A selling shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

The selling shareholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling shareholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The resale securities covered hereby will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Class B Ordinary Shares for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the Class B Ordinary Shares by the selling shareholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling shareholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Certain legal matters as to the United States federal and New York law in connection with this offering will be passed upon for us by Bevilacqua PLLC.

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Brera Holdings PLC (FKA Brera Holdings Limited)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Brera Holdings PLC (FKA Brera Holdings Limited) (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of profit or loss, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended, and related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Brera Holdings PLC (FKA Brera Holdings Limited) (“Brera Holdings” or the “Company”), a public company limited by shares, was incorporated in Ireland on June 30, 2022.

The sole subscriber to the incorporation constitution of the Company was Goodbody Subscriber One Limited who subscribed for one (1) ordinary share for EUR1.00. On July 11, 2022, the one ordinary share was transferred to Daniel Joseph McClory, and on July 14, 2022, the ordinary share was surrendered to the Company and cancelled in accordance with Irish law. On July 13, 2022, an amended constitution was adopted by the Company reflecting an authorized share capital of EUR1.00 and US$1,750,000 divided into 50,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, nominal value US$0.005 per share, 250,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, nominal value US$0.005 per share, 50,000,000 preferred shares, nominal value US$0.005 per share, and one ordinary share with a nominal value of EUR1.00. On July 14, 2022, the Company issued 8,100,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 100,000 Class B Ordinary Shares.

KAP S.r.l. (“KAP”), an Italian limited liability company (società a responsabilità limitata), was formed on December 20, 2016. KAP will be renamed as Brera Milano Srl (“Brera Milano”) prior to the completion of the Company’s initial public offering.

On July 18, 2022, the Company entered into a preliminary agreement for the purchase of all the shares of Brera Milano with Marco Sala, Stefano Locatelli, Alessandro Aleotti, Christian Rocca, Sergio Carlo Scalpelli, and MAX SRL (the “Acquisition”). Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired 100% of equity interest of Brera Milano on July 29, 2022. As a result, Brera Milano became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Company also agreed to contribute EUR253,821 to Brera Milano upon the final completion of the formal obligations under this agreement at the Milan Register of Companies, in order to restore Brera Milano’s share capital due to a EUR253,821 liability indicated by its financial statements. On July 29, 2022, the Company executed the final deed of share transfer, paid EUR253,821 for purposes of restoring Brera Milano’s share capital, and completed certain other required formalities. On the same day, the share transfer became effective under Italian law. As a result, Brera Milano became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Acquisition was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with the guidance in paragraphs B19–B27 of IFRS 3 for reverse acquisitions. Brera Milano was determined to be the accounting acquirer based upon the terms of the Acquisition and other factors including: (i) former Brera Milano shareholders owning approximately 35% of the combined company (on a fully diluted basis) immediately following the closing of the Acquisition and are the largest shareholders’ party of the Company, (ii) former Brera Milano shareholder, Alessandro Aleotti, being appointed as the Chief Strategy Officer and a director of the Company, and (iii) former Brera Milano shareholder, Sergio Carlo Scalpelli, being appointed as the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company; (iv) shareholders of the Company other than the former Brera Milano shareholders continuing as passive investors; and (v) the combined company continuing the football related business with Brera Milano shareholders being the major subject matter experts of this industry in the Company and having the power to direct the development and operations of the combined company after the Acquisition.

The Company, via its majority-owned operating subsidiary, Brera Milano, is engaged in a range of businesses including football division progression, global football player transfer services, sponsorship services, and football school services and consulting services on football projects.

Note 2 – General principles for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”), and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report with new variants being discovered. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Group’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations.

Management is actively monitoring the impact of the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. The Group cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at this time. If the pandemic continues, it may have a material effect on the Group’s results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in the next 12 months.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost basis, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability which market participants would take into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for leasing transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 16 Leases, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as value in use in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

The consolidated financial statements consist of the consolidated statements of financial position, the consolidated statements of profit or loss, consolidated statements of changes in equity, consolidated statements of cash flows and the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated statements of financial position has been prepared based on the nature of the transactions, distinguishing: (a) current assets from non-current assets, where current assets are intended as the assets that should be realized, sold or used during the normal operating cycle, or the assets owned with the aim of being sold in the short term (within 12 months); (b) current liabilities from non-current liabilities, where current liabilities are intended as the liabilities that should be paid during the normal operating cycle, or over the 12-month period subsequent to the reporting date.

The consolidated statements of profit or loss has been prepared based on the function of the expenses.

The consolidated statements of cash flows has been prepared using the indirect method.

The consolidated financial statements present all amounts rounded to the nearest dollars of Euro, unless otherwise stated. They also present comparative information in respect to the previous period.

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). These consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro (the Group’s presentation currency).

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively. Estimates are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations about future events that may have a financial impact on the Group and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes.

Information about assumptions and estimates as at December 31, 2021 that have high risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year is included in the following notes.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors of the Company have given careful consideration to the future liquidity of the Group in light of the fact that the Group incurred a net loss of EUR87,056 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and as of that date, the Group has deficit in equity attributable to shareholders of the Company of EUR253,821 and the Group had net liabilities of EUR253,821 and net current liabilities of EUR313,905. These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties which cast substantial doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and classifications in the consolidated statements of financial position that may be necessary were the Company unable to continue as a going concern and these adjustments could be material.

Subsequent to the end of reporting period, the Company has received EUR253,821 capital injections from the investors and the directors consider the Group have sufficient working capital.

The Group will need to raise additional capital in the near term to fund its ongoing operations and business activities. The directors of the Company consider that the Group will have sufficient working capital to finance its operations and to meet its financial obligations for at least the next twelve months from the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statements of profit or loss from the date the Group gains control until the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each item of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group’s equity therein, which represent present ownership interests entitling their holders to a proportionate share of net assets of the relevant subsidiaries upon liquidation.

Property, plant and equipment are tangible assets that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes. Property, plant and equipment are stated in the consolidated statements of financial position at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Costs include any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Depreciation is recognized to allocate the cost of assets less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

Depreciation is charged to allocate the cost of assets, over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method, on the following bases:

At the end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets to determine whether there is any indication that these assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the relevant asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are estimated individually. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount individually, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

In testing a cash-generating unit for impairment, corporate assets are allocated to the relevant cash-generating unit when a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be established, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be established. The recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units to which the corporate asset belongs, and is compared with the carrying amount of the relevant cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset (or a cash-generating unit) for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. For corporate assets or portion of corporate assets which cannot be allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to a cash-generating unit, the Group compares the carrying amount of a group of cash-generating units, including the carrying amounts of the corporate assets or portion of corporate assets allocated to that group of cash-generating units, with the recoverable amount of the group of cash-generating units. In allocating the impairment loss, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill (if applicable) and then to the other assets on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit or the group of cash-generating units. The carrying amount of an asset is not reduced below the highest of its fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable), its value in use (if determinable) and zero. The amount of the impairment loss that would otherwise have been allocated to the asset is allocated pro rata to the other assets of the unit or the group of cash-generating units. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or a cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and one-time termination benefits for certain employees are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date/settlement date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value except for trade receivables arising from contracts with customers which are initially measured in accordance with IFRS 15. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income and interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts and payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:

Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method for financial assets measured subsequently at amortized cost and debt instruments/receivables subsequently measured at FVTOCI. Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset.

The Group performs impairment assessment under expected credit loss (“ECL”) model on financial assets (including trade and other receivables and loan receivables) which are subject to impairment assessment under IFRS 9. The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.

Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL (“12m ECL”) represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. Assessments are done based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions.

The Group always recognizes lifetime ECL for trade receivables. For all other instruments, the Group measures the loss allowance equal to 12m ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, in which case the Group recognizes lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognized is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.

In assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. In making this assessment, the Group considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.

In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly:

Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Group presumes that the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 120 days past due, unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information that demonstrates otherwise.

Despite the foregoing, the Group assumes that the credit risk on a debt instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the debt instrument is determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date. A debt instrument is determined to have low credit risk if (i) it has a low risk of default, (ii) the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and (iii) adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations.

The Group regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.

In order to minimize the credit risk, management of the Company has created a team responsible for the determination of credit limits and credit approvals for customers.

The Group considers for internal credit risk management purposes and based on historical experience, that an event of default to have occurred when there is information obtained from internal or external sources that indicates the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Group.

A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. These events include evidence that there is significant financial difficulty of the debtors or it is becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy.

The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g., when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Group’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognized in profit or loss.

The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e., the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information as described above. As for the exposure at default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets’ gross carrying amount at the reporting date.

For financial assets, the expected credit loss is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

If the Group has measured the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to lifetime ECL in the previous reporting period, but determines at the current reporting date that the conditions for lifetime ECL are no longer met, the Group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month ECL at the current reporting date.

The Group recognizes an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.

The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognize the financial asset and a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received.

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortized cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial liabilities including trade and other payables, loans from shareholders and borrowings are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized on an effective yield basis, except for short-term payables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

Interest-bearing loans are initially recognized at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method.

The Group derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized as and when control of a service is transferred to a customer.

A performance obligation represents a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same.

Control is transferred over time and revenue is recognized over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met:

Otherwise, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the distinct good or service.

A contract asset represents the Group’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Group has transferred to a customer that is not yet unconditional. It is assessed for impairment in accordance with IFRS 9. In contrast, a receivable represents the Group’s unconditional right to consideration, i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due.

A contract liability represents the Group’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer.

A contract asset and a contract liability relating to the same contract are accounted for and presented on a net basis.

4. Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

The Group enters into services agreements and statements of work which set out the details of the work streams for each project to be provided to the customers. The work streams are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.

Revenue recognized from contracts with customers is disaggregated into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Value of the service performed is determined based on the hours incurred times a fixed rate as stipulated in the contract. Any variabilities in the transaction price are resolved before each billing.

The Group has elected to apply the practical expedient provided in IFRS 15, to recognize revenue in the amount to which it has the right to invoice and has not disclosed the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of the end of the reporting period.

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

For contracts entered into or modified on or after the date of initial application of IFRS 16 or arising from business combinations, the Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition under IFRS 16 at inception, modification date or acquisition date, as appropriate. Such contract will not be reassessed unless the terms and conditions of the contract are subsequently changed.

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to leases of motor vehicles that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option. It also applies the recognition exemption for lease of low-value assets. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis or another systematic basis over the lease term.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

Right-of-use assets in which the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the underlying leased assets at the end of the lease term are depreciated from commencement date to the end of the useful life. Otherwise, right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term.

The Group presents right-of-use assets as a separate line item on the consolidated statements of financial position.

Refundable rental deposits paid are accounted under IFRS 9 and initially measured at fair value. Adjustments to fair value at initial recognition are considered as additional lease payments and included in the cost of right-of-use assets.

At the commencement date of a lease, the Group recognizes and measures the lease liability at the present value of lease payments that are unpaid at that date. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.

After the commencement date, lease liabilities are adjusted by interest accretion and lease payments.

The Group remeasures lease liabilities (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use assets) whenever:

The Group presents lease liabilities as a separate line item on the consolidated statements of financial position.

All borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit/(loss) before tax because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realized, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied to the same taxable entity by the same taxation authority.

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

The following table sets out the financial instruments as at the end of the reporting period:

The Group’s overall risk management policy seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on financial performance of the Group. There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to these financial risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies to mitigate these risks are set out below.

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables and other receivables.

As at December 31, 2021, approximately 75% of the Group’s trade receivable arose from 3 customers, each accounted for over 10% of the Group’s total revenue (2020: approximately 98% of the Group’s trade receivable arose from 3 customers, each accounted for over 10% of our total revenue). In order to minimize the credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits and credit approvals.

Cash and cash equivalents are placed with credit-worthy financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies and therefore credit risk is limited. The Group has adopted procedures in extending credit terms to customers and monitoring its credit risk. Credit evaluations are performed on customers requiring credit over a certain amount. Before accepting any new customer, the Group carries out research on the credit risk of the new customer and assesses the potential customer’s credit quality and defines credit limits by customer. Limits attributed to customers are reviewed when necessary.

The Group’s current credit risk grading framework comprises the following categories:

The table below details the credit quality of the Group’s financial assets as well as maximum exposure to credit risk by credit risk rating grades:

Interest rate risk arises from the potential changes in interest rates that may have an adverse effect on the Group in the current reporting period and future years.

The Group’s primary interest rate relates to interest-bearing long-term borrowings. The interest rate and terms of repayment of bank loans are disclosed in note 11 of the consolidated financial statements.

The sensitivity analysis has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period in the case of instruments that have floating rates. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

As at December 31, 2021 it is estimated that a 50 basis point change in interest rates will affect the Group’s loss before tax by EUR125 (2020: profit before tax by EUR125).

In the management of the liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to finance its operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.

The following table details the Group’s contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay.

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these consolidated financial instruments. The fair values of other classes of financial assets and liabilities are disclosed in the respective notes to consolidated financial statements.

Management reviews the capital structure regularly to ensure that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern. The capital structure comprises only issued capital, reserves and retained earnings. As a part of this review, the management consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the directors, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, new share issues as well as the issue of new debts or the redemption of existing debts. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged.

Depreciation expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 amounted to EUR4,455 and EUR1,185 which were included in general and administrative expenses.

The credit period on rendering of service to outside parties is based on ordinary course of businesses.

Loss allowance for trade receivables has been measured at an amount equal to the lifetime ECL. The ECL on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, and where relevant general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate. As at end of reporting period, management considers the ECL for trade and other receivables is insignificant.

As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished between the Group’s different customer base.

The Group entered into lease agreements for office space, garage, office equipment and vehicles with expiration dates ranging from 2022 to 2027. The lease terms were between 2 to 6 years. The Company’s lease liabilities payables and commitments for minimum lease payments under these leases as at December 31, 2021 are as follows:

A maturity analysis of lease liabilities based on undiscounted gross cash flow is reported in the table below:

At December 31, 2021, the total cash outflow for leases amount to EUR56,996 (2020: EUR1,883).

The loan was drawn on June 25, 2020 from an independent third party. The monthly interest rate is 0.0625% and the annualized interest rate is 0.75% per annum. The loan term is 6 years and repayment of principal begins 2 years from the loan drawdown date.

Trade payables mainly represents trade payables due to vendors, including independent third party and related parties, who delivered the consultancy services. Other payable mainly represents VAT and other tax payables.

The balance represents the loan from a shareholder in the amount of EUR20,000, interest-free with repayment scheduled on March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 in the amount of EUR7,000, EUR7,000 and EUR6,000, respectively. Subsequent to the reporting period, the shareholder waived the repayment schedule and the repayment date of the full amount is rescheduled to September 30, 2022.

The balance represents the termination benefits for directors of KAP. Provisions for termination benefits for directors are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated.

The calculation of the basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share attributable to the shareholders of the Group is based on the following data:

Diluted (loss) earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company had no dilutive shares as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The Group computes net (loss) earnings per share of Ordinary Shares Class A and Ordinary Shares Class B stock using the two-class method. Basic net (loss) earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares and the effect of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of restricted stock units and other contingently issuable shares. The dilutive effect of outstanding restricted stock units and other contingently issuable shares is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.

The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of our Ordinary Shares Class A and Ordinary Shares Class B stock are identical, except with respect to voting.

In the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the net (loss) earnings per share amounts are the same for Ordinary Shares Class A and Ordinary Shares Class B stock because the holders of each class are entitled to equal per share dividends or distributions in liquidation.

Note 2 — General principles for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The consolidated statements of financial position has been prepared based on the nature of the transactions, distinguishing:

(a) current assets from non-current assets, where current assets are intended as the assets that should be realized, sold or used during the normal operating cycle, or the assets owned with the aim of being sold in the short term (within 12 months); (b) current liabilities from non-current liabilities, where current liabilities are intended as the liabilities that should be paid during the normal operating cycle, or over the 12-month period subsequent to the reporting date.

The consolidated statements of profit or loss has been prepared based on the function of the expenses.

The consolidated statements of cash flows has been prepared using the indirect method.

The consolidated financial statements present all amounts rounded to the nearest dollars of Euro, unless otherwise stated. They also present comparative information in respect to the previous period.

Information about assumptions and estimates as at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 that have high risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year is included in the following notes.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors of the Company have given careful consideration to the future liquidity of the Group in light of the fact that the Group incurred a net loss of EUR95,835 and EUR26,419 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Group has deficit in equity attributable to shareholders of the Company of EUR349,456 and EUR253,821, respectively. As at June 30, 2022, the Group had net liabilities of EUR349,456 and net current liabilities of EUR414,124. As at December 31, 2021, the Group had net liabilities of EUR253,821 and net current liabilities of EUR313,905. These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties which cast substantial doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Subsequent to the end of reporting period, the Company has received EUR253,821 capital injections from the investors and the Group will need to raise additional capital in the near term to fund its ongoing operations and business activities. The directors of the Company consider that the Group will have sufficient working capital to finance its operations and to meet its financial obligations for at least the next twelve months from the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
