First Closing of SeriesB Preferred Financing Transaction
On May 30, 2025, Brera Holdings PLC, a public limited company incorporated in the Republic of Ireland (the “Company”), completed an initial closing of its Series B Preferred Shares financing, raising gross proceeds of $143,008.20 through the issuance of 26,483 Units at an offering price of $5.40 per share.
The financing, which has been authorized by the Company to raise up to $10.8 million through the sale of up to 2,000,000 units (the “Units”), consisting of (i) one Series B Preferred Share (each, a “Series B Preferred Share”) and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase a number of Class B Ordinary Shares, $0.005 nominal value per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”), equal to ten percent (10%) of the number of Class B Ordinary Shares underlying the Series B Preferred Shares purchased by the investor, with an exercise price of $1.35 per whole Class B Ordinary Share, is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis with Boustead Securities LLC serving as the placement agent. Boustead Securities LLC will be paid a commission equal to seven percent (7%) of the gross amount actually received by the Company in the offering, a non-accountable expense allowance equal to one percent (1%) of the gross amount actually received by the Company in the offering, and which will be issued five-year warrants to acquire a number of Series B Preferred Shares sold in the offering in an amount not to exceed seven percent (7%) of the gross amount actually received by the Company divided by $5.40 (the price per share of the Units paid by investors in the offering), at an exercise price of $5.40, subject to cashless exercise.
The terms of the Series B Preferred Shares include a liquidation preference of $5.40 per share and optional conversion into eight Class B Ordinary Shares per Series B Preferred Share.
The net proceeds from the offering will be used fund ongoing investments in the Company’s Italian professional football team and other sports team, other strategic growth initiatives and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The offering is exempt from registration under Rule 506(b) of Regulation D and Regulation S, and no public market is expected to develop for the Units, Series B Preferred Shares or Warrants. Additional closings may be conducted on a rolling basis until the maximum offering amount is reached or the offering is terminated.
The Subscription Agreement and Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred Shares and the Warrant are filed as Exhibit 1.1 and Exhibit 1.2 to this report on Form 6-K, respectively, and this description of the Subscription Agreement and Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred Shares and Warrant are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibits.

Exhibit 1.1
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
Board of Directors of
Brera Holdings PLC
Connaught House, 5th Floor, One Burlington Road
Dublin 4, D04 C5Y6, Ireland
(the “Company”)
This Subscription Agreement (this “Agreement”) has been executed by the subscriber whose name appears on the signature page to this Agreement (the “Subscriber”) in connection with the subscription to purchase the number of units (the “Units”) set forth on the signature page to this Agreement, at a purchase price of $5.40 per Unit, for an aggregate purchase price as set forth on the signature page to this Agreement (the “Purchase Price”). Each Unit consists of (i) one Series B Preferred Share (each, a “Series B Preferred Share”) and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase Class B Ordinary Shares, $0.005 nominal value per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”). The Warrant entitles the holder to purchase a number of Class B Ordinary Shares equal to ten percent (10%) of the number of Class B Ordinary Shares underlying the Series B Preferred Shares purchased by the Subscriber, with an exercise price of $1.35 per whole Class B Ordinary Share. If such calculation results in a fractional share, the number of Class B Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
The Series B Preferred Shares included in the Units have the benefits, privileges, limitations, and restrictions set forth in the Certificate of Designation included in Schedule 1 hereto. Schedule 1 forms part of this Agreement and shall have effect as if set out in full in the body of this Agreement. Any reference to this Agreement includes Schedule 1.
The Units being subscribed for pursuant to this Agreement (including the Series B Preferred Shares, the Warrant and the Class B Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrant) have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). A total of 2,000,000 Units are being offered (the “Offering”) at the Purchase Price for total maximum gross proceeds of up to $10,800,000 (the “Maximum Offering Amount”).
This Offering is being made exclusively, and is limited, to accredited investors as defined in Section 2(a)(15) of the Securities Act, and Rule 501 promulgated thereunder (subject to the Company’s election to include purchasers outside the United States in accordance with the rules of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, and/or in accordance with such other rules and regulations as may be applicable under the circumstances), and, in reliance upon the exemption contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Rule 506(b) under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Units are being sold without registration under the Securities Act.
1. Subscription. The Subscriber hereby subscribes to purchase the number of Units set forth on the signature page to this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and on the basis of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein. The minimum initial investment per Subscriber is $25,000, unless otherwise agreed to by the Company. No fractional Units shall be issued. In the event that the Purchase Price would otherwise result in the issuance of a fractional Unit, the number of Units to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole Unit. The Company may conduct a series of closings (each a “Closing”) in this Offering from time to time as subscriptions are made; provided, however, that the initial closing (the “Initial Closing”) of this Offering may not occur unless and until the Company closes on binding subscriptions for at least $100,000 (the “MinimumOffering Amount”). Funds will be held in a non-interest-bearing escrow account until the Company conducts a Closing. The Offering shall cease on the earlier of the following: (a) the allotment and issue of such number of Units at an aggregate subscription price up to the Maximum Offering Amount, or (b) December 31, 2025 (the “Termination Date”). Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Termination Date may be extended by the Company until March 31, 2026, provided that such number of Units at an aggregate subscription price of the Minimum Offering Amount have been allotted and issued on or before December 31, 2025.

2. Representationsand Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Subscriber the following:
(a) Authorization. As of the Initial Closing of this Offering, all action on the part of the Company, its board of directors, officers and existing shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder shall have been taken, and this Agreement, assuming due execution by the parties hereto and thereto, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to: (i) judicial principles limiting the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, and other equitable remedies and (ii) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect generally relating to or affecting creditors’ rights.
(b) Capitalization. The authorized share capital of the Company currently consists of 350,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 300,000,000 ordinary shares with a $0.005 nominal value per share, of which 50,000,000 shares are designated Class A Ordinary Shares with a $0.005 nominal value per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and 250,000,000 shares are designated Class B Ordinary Shares with a $0.005 nominal value per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”), and (ii) 50,000,000 Preferred Shares with a $0.005 nominal value per share (the “Preferred Shares”), of which 10,000,000 are designated as Series A Preferred Shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) and 2,500,000 are designated as Series B Preferred Shares. Immediately prior to the Initial Closing, the Company will have issued and allotted (i) 6,258,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, (ii) 12,825,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, and (iii) 731,400 Series A 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 may be voluntarily converted into Class B Ordinary Shares on a one-to-one basis. A transfer of Class A Ordinary Shares will result in their automatic conversion into Class B Ordinary Shares upon such transfer, 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. Series A Preferred Shares are convertible into eight (8) Class B Ordinary Shares at the option of the holder, subject to adjustment for share splits, share combinations, recapitalizations or similar transactions. The Company has adopted the Brera Holdings PLC 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and reserved 4,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares for issuance thereunder. The Company has granted 1,520,000 Class B Ordinary Shares and 200,000 share options at an exercise price of $2.00 per share under the Plan, and 2,280,000 shares remain available for issuance under the Plan. The Company has also issued and outstanding warrants to acquire (i) 210,350 Class B Ordinary Shares with exercise prices ranging from $1.00 to $5.00 per share and (ii) 51,198 Series A Preferred Shares with an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The Company has not otherwise reserved any shares for issuance to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company pursuant to any equity incentive plan and, except as aforesaid, no securities are outstanding that are exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, any ordinary shares of the Company. All of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable and free of pre-emptive rights and were issued in full compliance with applicable state and federal securities law and any rights of third parties. No person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in connection with the Offering. Other than indicated above, there are no outstanding options, warrants, script rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or giving any person any right to subscribe for or acquire, any Series B Preferred Shares, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to issue additional Series B Preferred Shares, or securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into Series B Preferred Shares. The issue and sale of the Units in this Offering will not obligate the Company to issue Units or other securities to any person (other than subscribers) and will not result in a right of any security holder in Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities. There are no voting agreements, buy-sell agreements, option or right of first purchase agreements or other agreements of any kind among the Company and any of the security holders of the Company relating to the securities of the Company held by them.

The Company is not a party or subject to, and none of its assets is bound by, the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality which would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
(g) Patents and Trademarks. The Company and its subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other similar rights that are necessary or material for use in connection with their respective businesses and which the failure to so have could have a material adverse effect on the Company (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). Neither the Company nor any subsidiary has received a written notice that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company or any subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any person. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights.

(i) No General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold any Units by any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D).
3. Representationsand Warranties of the Subscriber. The Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company the following:
(a) The Subscriber has the knowledge and experience in financial and business matters necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of its prospective investment in the Company, and has carefully reviewed and understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, the purchase of Units, including, without limitation, the risk factors related to startup businesses and businesses in this industry and the tax consequences of the investment, and has the ability to bear the economic risks of the investment.
(b) The Subscriber is acquiring the Units for investment for its own account and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, except for a resale or distribution that complies with the Securities Act and all other applicable state securities laws. The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the Units have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein. The Subscriber further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to any third person with respect to any of the Units. The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the Offering of the Units pursuant to this Agreement will not be registered under the Securities Act nor under the state securities laws on the ground that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
(c) The Subscriber understands that no public market now exists, and there may never be a public market for, the Units or Series B Preferred Shares.
(d) The Subscriber has received and reviewed information about the Company and has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with its management. The Subscriber understands that such discussions, as well as any written information provided by the Company, were intended to describe the aspects of the Company’s business and prospects which the Company believes to be material, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description, and except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to the completeness of such information and makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to any information provided by any entity other than the Company. Some of such information may include projections as to the future performance of the Company, which projections may not be realized, may be based on assumptions which may not be correct and may be subject to numerous factors beyond the Company’s control.
(e) As of the Closing, all action on the part of Subscriber, and its officers, directors and partners, if applicable, necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of the Subscriber hereunder and thereunder shall have been taken, and this Agreement, assuming due execution by the parties hereto, constitutes valid and legally binding obligations of the Subscriber, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to: (i) judicial principles limiting the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, and other equitable remedies and (ii) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect generally relating to or affecting creditors’ rights.
4
(f) The Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, and shall submit to the Company such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Company.
(g) If the Subscriber is not a “U.S. Person,” as such term is defined in Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, the Subscriber hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Units or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the subscription to the Units, (ii) any foreign restrictions applicable to such subscription, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the subscription, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Units. The Subscriber’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Units will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Subscriber’s jurisdiction.
(h) The Subscriber or its duly authorized representative realizes that because of the inherently speculative nature of businesses of the kind conducted and contemplated by the Company, the Company’s financial results may be expected to fluctuate from month to month and from period to period and will, generally, involve a high degree of financial and market risk that could result in substantial or, at times, even total losses for investors in securities of the Company.
(i) The Subscriber has adequate means of providing for its current and anticipated financial needs and contingencies, is able to bear the economic risk for an indefinite period of time and has no need for liquidity of the investment in the Units and could afford complete loss of such investment.
(j) The Subscriber is not subscribing for Units as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication, published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio, or the internet, or presented at any seminar or meeting, or any solicitation of a subscription by a person not previously known to the Subscriber in connection with investments in securities generally.
(k) All of the information that the Subscriber has heretofore furnished, or which is set forth herein, is correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement, and, if there should be any material change in such information prior to the consummation of Subscriber’s investment in the Company, the Subscriber will immediately furnish revised or corrected information to the Company.
4. TransferRestrictions. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees as follows:
(a) The Units have not been registered for sale under the Securities Act, in reliance on the private offering exemption in Section 4(a)(2) thereof; and the Company does not intend to register the Units under the Securities Act at any time in the future.
5
(b) The Subscriber understands that the certificates representing the Series B Preferred Shares, until such time as they have been registered under the Securities Act, shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such certificates or other instruments):
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
(c) No governmental agency has passed upon the Units or made any finding or determination as to the wisdom of any investments therein.
5. ClosingConditioned on Raising Minimum Offering Amount. The Initial Closing of this Offering is conditioned on the Company raising the Minimum Offering Amount, inclusive of any investments made by officers, directors or other affiliates of the Company or the placement agent that contribute toward achieving the Minimum Offering Amount.
6. DemandRegistration Rights. The Company shall file with the Commission not later than sixty (60) days after the date of the final Closing of the Offering a registration statement on an appropriate form (the “Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the Class B Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares and the Warrants issuable in connection with the Offering (collectively, the “Registrable Shares”) and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective within ninety (90) days following the date that the Registration Statement is filed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, in the best interest of the Company and otherwise required (a “Grace Period”); provided, that the Company shall promptly: (i) notify the Subscriber in writing of the existence of material, non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Company will not disclose the content of such material, non-public information to the Subscriber) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any issue that makes disclosure of the material, non-public information not in the best interests of the Company. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with this Section 6, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees of transfer agents and registrars are called “Registration Expenses.” All underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of the Registrable Shares, including any fees and disbursements of any counsel to the Subscriber, are called “Selling Expenses.” The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the Registration Statement. Selling Expenses in connection with the Registration Statement, if any, shall be borne by the Subscriber.

“Series B Original Issue Price” means $5.40 per share.
Section 2. Designation, Amount and Nominal Value. The series of Preferred Shares shall be designated as Series B Preferred Shares, $0.005 nominal value per share (the “Series B Preferred Shares”), and the number of shares so designated shall be Two Million Five Hundred Thousand (2,500,000), which shall not be subject to increase without the written consent of the Requisite Holders. Each Series B Preferred Share shall have a stated value equal to the Series B Original Issue Price.
Section 3. Ranking. The Series B Preferred Shares will, with respect to preferences to participate in distributions or payments upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, rank (a) senior to the Ordinary Shares and any other class of securities hereafter authorized that is specifically designated as junior to the Series B Preferred Shares (the “Junior Securities”) and (b) on parity with the Series A Preferred Shares, $0.005 nominal value per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) and any future series of Preferred Shares created hereafter that is designated as ranking on parity with the Series B Preferred Shares as to rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, other than the capital stock referred to in clause (a) (the “Parity Securities”). Accordingly, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, any dividend, redemption, put or other payments required to be made to a Holder hereunder may not be made during periods when the Corporation is in default under similar payments required to be made under the terms of Parity Securities. The terms of the Series B Preferred Shares will not limit the Corporation’s ability to (i) incur indebtedness or (ii) issue additional securities that are Junior Securities or Parity Securities as to distribution rights and rights upon the Corporation’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
Section 4. Dividends. All dividends shall be declared pro rata on the Ordinary Shares, the Series A Preferred Shares, and the Series B Preferred Shares on a pari passu basis according to the number of Class B Ordinary Shares held by such holders. For this purpose, each Holder of Series B Preferred Shares is to be treated as holding the greatest whole number of Class B Ordinary Shares then issuable upon conversion of all Series B Preferred Shares held by such Holder pursuant to Section 8.
10
Section 5. Liquidation.
(a) Liquidation Preference. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (a “Liquidation Event”) or Deemed Liquidation Event, the Holders of Series B Preferred Shares then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid a liquidation preference out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of Junior Securities by reason of their ownership thereof, but pari passu with the holders of shares of Parity Securities on a pro rata basis in an amount per share equal to the Series B Original Issue Price, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. The Corporation shall provide written notice of any Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event promptly to each Holder, and not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the payment date stated therein.
(b) Insufficient Assets. If upon any such Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders shall be insufficient to pay the Holders the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Section 5, the Holders shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.
Section 6. Voting Rights. As long as any Series B Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote of the Requisite Holders, voting together as a class, (a) authorize or issue any class or series of equity securities ranking senior in benefits of the Series B Preferred Shares with respect to dividend and other distribution rights, preference or other preferences on redemption, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation (other than in connection with the acquisition of assets in a transaction that is approved by the Requisite Holders) or (b) amend its Constitution (whether by merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to materially and adversely alter or change the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series B Preferred Shares or alter or amend this Certificate of Designation in a manner that materially and adversely alters or changes the powers, preferences or benefits given to the Series B Preferred Shares. Except as set forth in this Section 6, Holders of Series B Preferred Shares have no voting rights.
Section 7. Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares. Any Series B Preferred Shares that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred. Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any voting or other preferences granted to the Holders of Series B Preferred Shares following redemption.
11
Section 8. Conversion. The holders of the Series B Preferred Shares shall have conversion benefits as follows:
(a) Right to Convert.
(i) Conversion Ratio. Each Series B Preferred Share shall be convertible, at the option of the Holder thereof, at any time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable Class B Ordinary Shares as is determined by dividing the Series B Original Issue Price by the Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The “Conversion Price” for the Series B Preferred Shares shall initially mean $0.675. Based on the initial Conversion Price, each Series B Preferred Share will convert into eight (8) Class B Ordinary Shares. Such initial Conversion Price, and the rate at which Series B Preferred Shares may be converted into Class B Ordinary Shares, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below.
(ii) Termination of Conversion Rights. Subject to Section 8(c)(i) in the case of a Contingency Event, in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or a Deemed Liquidation Event, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the first payment of any funds and assets distributable on such event to the Holders of Series B Preferred Shares.
(b) Fractional Shares. No fractional Class B Ordinary Shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall round up such fraction of a Class B Ordinary Share to the nearest whole share.
(c) Mechanics of Conversion.
(i) Notice of Conversion. In order for a Holder of Series B Preferred Shares to voluntarily convert Series B Preferred Shares into Class B Ordinary Shares, such Holder shall, at the office of the transfer agent for the Series B Preferred Shares or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent, deliver written notice that such Holder elects to convert all or any number of the Series B Preferred Shares owned by such Holder and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent (a “Contingency Event”). Such notice shall state such Holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such Holder wishes the book entry for Class B Ordinary Shares to be issued. The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent of such written notice (or, if later, the date on which all Contingency Events have occurred) shall be the time of conversion (the “Conversion Time”), and the Class B Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares represented by such written notice shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such time. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time, (a) issue and deliver to such Holder of Series B Preferred Shares, or to such Holder’s nominees, a book entry for the number of full Class B Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and a book entry for the number (if any) of the Series B Preferred Shares that were not converted into Class B Ordinary Shares and (b) pay all declared but unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Shares converted.
12
(ii) Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times while any Series B Preferred Shares shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued share capital, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares, such number of its duly authorized Class B Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series B Preferred Shares; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Class B Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then-outstanding Series B Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall use its best efforts to cause such corporate action to be taken as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Class B Ordinary Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Shares below the then nominal value of the Class B Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares, the Corporation will take any corporate action that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary so that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Class B Ordinary Shares at such adjusted Conversion Price.
(iii) Effect of Conversion. All Series B Preferred Shares that shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the Holders thereof to receive Class B Ordinary Shares in exchange therefor and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Any Series B Preferred Shares so converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued.
(iv) No Further Adjustment. Upon any conversion of Series B Preferred Shares, no adjustment to the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Shares shall be made with respect to the converted shares for any declared but unpaid dividends on such Series B Preferred Shares or on the Class B Ordinary Shares delivered upon conversion.
(d) Adjustment for Share Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the date on which the first Series B Preferred Share is issued by the Corporation (such date referred to herein as the “First Issue Date”) effect a subdivision of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, the Conversion Price for such Series B Preferred Shares in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of Class B Ordinary Shares issuable on conversion of each Series B Preferred Share shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of Class B Ordinary Shares outstanding. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the First Issue Date combine the outstanding Ordinary Shares, the Conversion Price for such Series B Preferred Shares in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of Class B Ordinary Shares issuable on conversion of each Series B Preferred Share shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of Class B Ordinary Shares outstanding. Any adjustment under this Section shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
13
(e) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the First Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Class B Ordinary Shares in additional Class B Ordinary Shares, then and in each such event the Conversion Price for the Series B Preferred Shares in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying such Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:
(i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of Class B Ordinary Shares issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, such Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter such Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 8(e) as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (ii) no such adjustment shall be made if the Holders of Series B Preferred Shares simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of Class B Ordinary Shares in a number equal to the number of Class B Ordinary Shares that they would have received if all outstanding Series B Preferred Shares had been converted into Class B Ordinary Shares on the date of such event.
(f) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the First Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a distribution of Class B Ordinary Shares in respect of outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares), then and in each such event the Holders of Series B Preferred Shares shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Ordinary Shares, a dividend or other distribution of such securities in an amount equal to the amount of such securities as they would have received if all outstanding Series B Preferred Shares had been converted into Class B Ordinary Shares on the date of such event.
14
(g) Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If at any time or from time to time after the First Issue Date the Class B Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion of Series B Preferred Shares is changed into the same or a different number of any class or classes of shares of the Corporation, whether by recapitalization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than by a shares split or combination, dividend, distribution, merger or consolidation regarding a Deemed Liquidation Event), then in any such event each Holder of Series B Preferred Shares shall have the right thereafter to convert such shares into the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of Class B Ordinary Shares into which such Class B Ordinary Shares could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change.
(h) Adjustment for Merger or Consolidation. If there shall occur any consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Class B Ordinary Shares (but not the Series B Preferred Shares) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash, or other, then, following any such consolidation or merger, provision shall be made that each Series B Preferred Share shall thereafter be convertible, in lieu of the Class B Ordinary Shares into which it was convertible prior to such event, into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of Class B Ordinary Shares of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one Series B Preferred Share immediately prior to such consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 8 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holders of Series B Preferred Shares, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 8 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Shares) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares.
(i) Book Entry as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price of Series B Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 8, the Corporation at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than fifteen (15) days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder of Series B Preferred Shares a book entry setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which the Series B Preferred Shares is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any Holder of Series B Preferred Shares (but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a book entry setting forth (a) the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Shares then in effect and (b) the number of Class B Ordinary Shares and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares.
15

Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, by email, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Corporation, at the principal address of the Corporation or such other facsimile number, email address or address as the Corporation may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders delivered in accordance with this Section 9(a). Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Corporation hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, by email, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the facsimile number, email address or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Corporation, or if no such facsimile number or address appears on the books of the Corporation, at the principal place of business of such Holder. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or email prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or email on a day that is not a Business Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, (iii) the second Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
(b) Absolute Obligation. Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Certificate of Designation shall alter or impair the obligation of the Corporation, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the liquidation preference and accrued but unpaid dividends, as applicable, on the Series B Preferred Shares at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
(c) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Certificate of Designation shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Ireland, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder of a breach of any provision of this Certificate of Designation shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Certificate of Designation or a waiver by any other Holders, except that a waiver by the Requisite Holders or two-thirds of the Holders, as applicable, will constitute a waiver of all Holders. The failure of the Corporation or a Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Certificate of Designation on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party (or any other Holder) of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Certificate of Designation on any other occasion. Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder must be in writing.
16
(e) Severability. If any provision of this Certificate of Designation is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Certificate of Designation shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law.
(f) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
(g) Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Certificate of Designation and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

Brera Holdings PLC, a public limited company incorporated in the Republic of Ireland (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, the Initial Holder shown above, or its permitted registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to the number of Class B Ordinary Shares, $0.005 nominal value per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”), shown above (each such share, a “Warrant Share” and all such shares, the “Warrant Shares”) at the exercise price shown above (as may be adjusted from time to time as provided herein, the “Exercise Price”), at any time and from time to time on or after the original issue date indicated above (the “Original Issue Date”) and through and including the expiration time shown above (the “Expiration Time”), and subject to the following terms and conditions:
This Warrant is being issued pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, dated ________________ (the “Subscription Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Initial Holder and the other parties thereto.
1. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Subscription Agreement.
2. List of Warrant Holders. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder (which shall include the Initial Holder or, as the case may be, any registered assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder from time to time). The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
3. List of Transfers; Restrictions on Transfer. The Company shall register any transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new Warrant to purchase Class B Ordinary Shares, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new Warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the New Warrant that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant.
4. Exercise and Duration of Warrant.
(a) All or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any manner permitted by this Section 4 at any time and from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date and through and including the Expiration Time. At the Expiration Time, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value and this Warrant shall be terminated and shall no longer be outstanding.
(b) The Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company: (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), completed and duly signed, and (ii) if such Holder is not utilizing the cashless exercise provisions set forth in this Warrant, payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised. The Holder shall be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. The date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
(c) Cashless Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant by making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Exercise Price, the Holder may elect to receive the number of Class B Ordinary Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised), by surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with the exercise form attached hereto, in which event the Company will issue to the Holder the number of Class B Ordinary Shares in accordance with the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
| X | = | Y(A-B) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | |||
| Where, | |||
| X | = | The number of Class B Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Holder; | |
| Y | = | The number of Class B Ordinary Shares for which the Warrant is being exercised; | |
| A | = | The fair market value of one Class B Ordinary Share; and | |
| B | = | The Exercise Price. |
For purposes of Section 4(c), the fair market value means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Class B Ordinary Shares are then listed or quoted on an Eligible Market, the value shall be deemed to be the highest daily price on any trading day on such Eligible Market on which the Class B Ordinary Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on New York City time) during the five trading days preceding the exercise, (b) if the OTCQB Venture Market (“OTCQB”) service or the OTCQX Best Market (“OTCQX”) service of OTC Markets Group Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices, the “OTC Markets Group”) is not an Eligible Market, the value shall be deemed to be the highest daily price on any trading day on the OTCQB or the OTCQX on which the Class B Ordinary Shares are then quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on New York City time) during the five trading days preceding the exercise, as applicable, (c) if the Class B Ordinary Shares are not then listed or quoted for trading on the OTCQB or the OTCQX and if prices for the Class B Ordinary Shares are then quoted on the Pink Open Market service of OTC Markets (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices) (the “Pink Sheets”), the value shall be deemed to be the highest daily price on any trading day on the Pink Sheets on which the Class B Ordinary Shares are then quoted as reported by OTC Markets Group (based on New York City time) during the five trading days preceding the exercise, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a Class B Ordinary Share as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company. “Eligible Market” means The New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market, any Electronic Communication Network or any Alternative Trade Facility.
2
For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date hereof, assuming the Holder is not an affiliate of the Company, it is intended that the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the closing date of the Offering pursuant to which the Company was obligated to issue this Warrant.
(d) The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof.
5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.
(a) Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than ten (10) business days after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends. The Holder, or any Person permissibly so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. The Company shall, upon the written request of the Holder, use its best efforts to deliver, or cause to be delivered, Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available; provided, that, the Company may, but will not be required to, change its transfer agent if its current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation. If as of the time of exercise the Warrant Shares constitute restricted or control securities, the Holder, by exercising, agrees not to resell them except in compliance with all applicable securities laws.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates or book entry receipts representing Class B Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(c) If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate(s) or book entry receipt(s) (either physical or electronic) representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms hereof by applicable delivery date, then, the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates or book entry receipts for Class B Ordinary Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates or book entry receipts, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates or book entry receipts for Warrant Shares or the Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
3
7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.
8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Class B Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
9. Certain Adjustments to Exercise Price. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.
(a) Adjustments for Share Splits and Combinations and Share Dividends.
