• Uplisting can provide improved liquidity, greater access to capital, enhanced corporate profile and the ability to attract institutional investors
• Nightfood’s recent acquisition of SWC Group “marks a pivotal moment in [our] growth and NASDAQ-uplist strategy,” the company stated
• Nightfood is focused on identifying and capitalizing on explosive market trends within the restaurant service and overall hospitality sector

Uplisting to a national exchange, such as NASDAQ, is a significant milestone for many companies, symbolizing a major leap in their growth trajectory and enhancing their visibility and credibility in the financial markets. Nightfood Holdings (OTCQB: NGTF) recently took a significant step forward in its strategic efforts to uplist with the closing of its acquisition of SWC Group Inc., known as CarryoutSupplies.com (https://ibn.fm/H6FQn).

NASDAQ is widely recognized for hosting a diverse range of high-growth and future-focused companies. The exchange offers numerous advantages for companies making the transition from smaller exchanges or over the counter (“OTC”) markets. These benefits include improved liquidity, greater access to capital, enhanced corporate profile and the ability to attract institutional investors.

One of the most compelling reasons companies choose to uplist is the increased liquidity that comes with being on a major exchange. The NASDAQ provides a platform with higher trading volumes and greater market depth compared to smaller exchanges. This enhanced liquidity facilitates easier buying and selling of shares, which can help stabilize the stock price and reduce volatility. In addition, a NASDAQ listing often leads to broader analyst coverage and media attention, which can positively impact the company’s public image and attract new investors.

Access to capital is another critical advantage. Companies listed on the NASDAQ are generally seen as more stable and financially robust, which can help them secure better financing terms and raise capital more effectively. This is particularly valuable for companies looking to fund growth initiatives, such as research and development, mergers and acquisitions, or expansion into new markets.

In addition to these financial benefits, uplisting to the NASDAQ can elevate a company’s profile within the industry and among investors. The prestige associated with being listed on a major exchange can enhance a company’s reputation, making it a more attractive partner for business collaborations and acquisition opportunities. This enhanced visibility can also lead to greater investor interest and potentially drive the company’s stock price higher.

A prime example of a company looking to leverage the benefits of uplisting is Nightfood Holdings. Nightfood, a company specializing in nighttime nutrition, recently completed a significant step in its uplisting strategy by acquiring CarryoutSupplies.com. The closing of this all-stock acquisition “marks a pivotal moment in Nightfood’s growth and NASDAQ-uplist strategy,” the company stated in the announcement. “We are confident that the combined strengths of the subsidiaries currently under Nightfood’s umbrella, as well as other companies we expect to acquire in the near future, will drive long-term success and create value for all stakeholders.”

Uplisting to NASDAQ offers Nightfood significant opportunities to accelerate its growth and to deliver greater shareholder value.

With the enhanced credibility and visibility that come from being on a major exchange, Nightfood can tap into new resources to fuel its expansion into emerging markets. The increased liquidity benefits not only shareholders by providing easier buying and selling opportunities but also positions the company to attract top-tier talent that will be essential to drive the business forward.

The improved access to capital that comes with a NASDAQ listing can enable Nightfood to aggressively capitalize on growth opportunities and initiatives in the fast-changing high growth markets in which the company specializes. As a NASDAQ company, Nightfood can also benefit from increased analyst coverage and media attention that can raise its corporate profile.

This uplisting milestone strengthens Nightfood’s ability to execute on its long-term strategy and create value for investors and stakeholders alike.

Nightfood’s Sonny Wang stated, “We are thrilled to announce the successful acquisition of CarryoutSupplies.com and excited for what we believe this acquisition will allow Nightfood to accomplish. This deal not only strengthens our position in the food-service industry but also can drive immense value through operational efficiencies and the integration of complementary products and services across Nightfood’s subsidiaries.”

Nightfood Holdings is a holding company focused on identifying and capitalizing on explosive market trends within the restaurant service and overall hospitality sector. By leading newly emerging categories and seizing opportunities in markets undergoing transformational upheaval, the company’s mission is to create unparalleled upside potential in industries ripe for innovation and growth.

• Saudi Arabia aims to increase its mining sector’s contribution to the economy from $17 billion today to $75 billion by 2035, as part of its Vision 2030 initiative.
• Platinum Group Metals Ltd. has entered a cooperation agreement with Ajlan & Bros Mining and Metals Co. to explore the establishment of a platinum group metals smelter and base metals refinery in Saudi Arabia.
• The agreement includes a global market study, a definitive feasibility study and the potential formation of a 50:50 joint venture for project development.

A new, potentially enormous force is sweeping the mining industry. Gulf countries, desperate to diversify away from fossil fuels, are rerouting petrodollars to acquire vital minerals required to produce clean energy. Chief among these nations is Saudi Arabia, which aims for its mining sector to contribute $75 billion to its economy by 2035, up from just $17 billion today, according to the Financial Post (https://ibn.fm/285gC). The area has enormous potential to grow a strong mining sector with lofty goals that, if met, could completely change the face of the economy.

The transition to mining seems like a sensible move to guarantee a consistent supply of raw materials in the face of hydrocarbon’s unpredictable future, since Gulf countries earn about $400 billion in fossil-fuel income each year. Under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s “Vision 2030” initiative, mining and mineral processing are identified as key pillars of economic modernization, alongside oil, gas and petrochemicals. According to the Financial Post, this strategic focus positions Saudi Arabia to exploit an estimated $2.5 trillion in domestic mineral assets, leveraging partnerships with major entities like Saudi Arabian Oil Co. (Saudi Aramco) and the state mining group Ma’aden.

Platinum Group Metals (TSX: PTM) (NYSE American: PLG), the operator and majority owner of the Waterberg Project, has announced an important collaboration with Ajlan & Bros Mining and Metals Co. to explore establishing a standalone platinum group metals (“PGM”) smelter and base metals refinery (“BMR”) in Saudi Arabia. This agreement, structured into three distinct phases, marks a pivotal step in the company’s strategy to enhance its operational capabilities and secure a stable offtake agreement for its Waterberg Project concentrate.

Overview of the Cooperation Agreement

The cooperation agreement consists of the following phases:

1. Global PGM Concentrate Market Study: This effort includes a comprehensive analysis of potential sources for PGM concentrates that could supplement the processing of concentrate from the Waterberg Project, thereby reducing reliance on a single project, and potentially enhancing the overall smelting and refining operations.
2. Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”): Upon completion of the Market Study, the parties will assess the findings and may then jointly commission a DFS for the proposed smelter and BMR. The DFS is estimated to cost approximately US$4 million, with expenses shared equally between Platinum Group and Ajlan.
3. Formation of a Joint Venture: Following the successful completion of the DFS, Platinum Group and Ajlan have the option to establish a 50:50 incorporated joint venture. This venture would focus on financing, constructing, and operating the smelting and refining facilities in Saudi Arabia.

Platinum Group’s President and CEO, Frank Hallam, emphasized the strategic importance of this partnership: “The largest impediment to the development of the Waterberg Project to date has been the need to secure a concentrate offtake agreement amongst the existing South African based PGM smelters. We are pleased to work together with Ajlan to explore a smelting and refining facility in Saudi Arabia as a strategic alternative that may create an exciting path forward.”

The Global PGM Concentrate Market Study is nearing completion and is being assessed by PTM and Ajlan. The proposed DFS would assess various aspects, including infrastructure requirements, technical specifications, capital, and operational costs. The results will be critical in determining the feasibility and scalability of the smelter and BMR project.

Implications for the Waterberg Project

The establishment of a smelting and refining facility in Saudi Arabia could provide essential offtake agreements for the Waterberg Project, which has previously faced challenges in securing concentrate offtake agreements with existing South African smelters.

The Waterberg Project is a bulk underground palladium and platinum deposit located in South Africa’s Limpopo province, with plans to produce approximately 353,000 ounces of PGMs annually at an estimated capital cost of just over $600 million. The Waterberg Project is planned to create approximately 2,000 jobs during construction and approximately 1,425 mostly high-skilled jobs once steady state mining is achieved. These direct jobs would make a significant contribution to local economic development, infrastructure growth, and foreign exchange earnings.

A trade-off study has already indicated that shipping concentrate from South Africa to Saudi Arabia could be economically viable, with shipping costs offset by lower energy and water costs.

Before Waterberg Project concentrate could be processed in Saudi Arabia, a long-term export approval to ship unrefined precious metals in concentrate from South Africa will be required. Platinum Group has engaged with the South African government to secure a long-term permit for the export of unrefined precious metals in concentrate.  As a first step, Platinum Group is working with the Government of South Africa to identify local beneficiation opportunities and to analyze the economic impact of exporting concentrate.

The cooperation agreement with Ajlan & Bros Mining and Metals Co. represents a strategic maneuver for Platinum Group Metals Ltd. as it seeks to overcome the challenges faced at the Waterberg Project and capitalize on the advantages offered by the Saudi Arabian market. This initiative not only aims to unlock the project’s potential but also to create a robust framework for future growth in the PGM sector.

• Results include high-definition recognition of mineralization in the drill core submitted, showing sulphide mineralization and mineralized inclusions in waste rock.
• TOMRA’s X-ray transmission technology separates material based on atomic density and has an impressive track record.
• By removing waste rock early in the processing cycle, Renforth expects to reduce the amount of material processed.

Renforth Resources (CSE: RFR) (OTCQB: RFHRF) has released key information regarding an initial test of materials from the company’s Quebec-based Victoria critical minerals polymetallic system. According to the company’s latest shareholder update, the test has been successfully completed at the TOMRA Mining Test Centre in Wedel, Germany (https://ibn.fm/UVfay).

“Results include high-definition recognition of mineralization in the drill core submitted, showing sulphide mineralization and mineralized inclusions in waste rock,” reported Renforth, an active mineral exploration company engaged in exploring and developing multicommodity mineral properties in Canada. “The recognition of waste rock and the detection of an EM signal of conductivity from the mineralized particles allows additional separation potential.”

Renforth chose TOMRA’s X-ray transmission technology to conduct the testing; the tech separates material based on atomic density and has an impressive track record, with numerous customer success stories (https://ibn.fm/SFlnI). In addition, the technology is currently in use at Quebec’s Renard diamond mine.

“At Renard, X-ray transmission is utilized in their recovery circuit, a proven application of the same technology, which has been successful with Victoria’s mineralization,” Renforth noted in its shareholder report. “Renforth’s nonexecutive director, John Webster, has successfully tested and implemented TOMRA technology in Russia, the UK, and Australia, and is currently testing ores from Saudi Arabia, recognizing the transformative impact it could have at Victoria.”

Company officials noted that proving that mineralized and nonmineralized material from its Victoria location can be sorted provides Renforth with “a way to streamline future operations, reducing costs and the environmental impact of a future operating scenario by implementing pre-concentration. 

“By removing waste rock early in the processing cycle, Renforth expects to reduce the amount of material processed, which will be at a higher grade than ROM material, resulting in lower Capex and cost in building out the processing capacity,” the company continued. “Sorting also means a significant reduction of the project’s environmental impact, with less electricity required, less water used and a reduction in the chemicals required to liberate the metal contained within Victoria’s polymetallic material by processing less material.”

The shareholder report also pointed out that notable reductions in material being processed results in a significant reduction in the size of the tailing’s facility as well as associated environmental costs. 

According to the announcement, Renforth plans to continue the testing process by obtaining a much larger sample. After crushing and screening it, the company will ship the sample to TOMRA for performance testing designed to evaluate and analyze separation performance and process, as well as establish the expected sorter performance and throughput and an eventual process flow sheet.  

Renforth is a battery metals area player with the dominant brownfield land position south of the world-class Cadillac-Larder Lake Fault in the prolific Cadillac and Malartic mining camps of Quebec’s Abitibi. Offering exposure to gold, zinc, nickel, copper, cobalt and more, including lithium, Renforth’s land position encompasses several areas of interest. 

Renforth’s position is unique in that both the battery metals mineralization within the Malartic Metals Package (“MMP”) and its gold deposit at Parbec are road accessible, with hydro power crossing the property, in an established and secure mining jurisdiction, which regularly ranks as top 10 in the world (as determined by the Fraser Institute).

Gold has been surging in popularity and value. Just this year, the precious metal has increased by approximately 28%, reaching a peak of more than $2,680 per ounce. In addition to Federal Reserve rate cuts and central bank purchases across emerging markets, the prospect of new financial sanctions imposed by the U.S. and growing concerns about the national debt could provide additional momentum for gold as many analysts forecast prices will continue to set new all-time highs.

In the current market landscape, gold stands out as a strategic hedge against both geopolitical and financial risks, making it an attractive option for investors seeking stability and potential growth in an uncertain economic climate. With its combination of rising demand and strong market fundamentals, countless investors are now taking a serious look at gold for the very first time.

Amidst this backdrop, companies like McEwen Mining (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX) are poised to benefit from increased investor interest in precious metals.

McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX): A Gem in the Mining Sector

McEwen Mining Inc. is a gold and silver producer with operations across the Americas, including Nevada, Canada, Mexico, and Argentina. In addition to its core business of precious metals, the company has significant exposure to copper through its 48% ownership of McEwen Copper, a subsidiary responsible for the advanced-stage Los Azules project in Argentina. Led by Rob McEwen, a seasoned mining veteran with a personal investment of $225 million, McEwen Mining is establishing itself as a significant player in the critical minerals space.

The company’s vision is simple: maximize asset productivity, improve profitability, and ultimately increase share value while offering returns to investors. With a seasoned leader at the helm, a diverse portfolio, and a keen focus on sustainability, McEwen Mining stands poised to unleash significant value, offering investors a golden opportunity to tap into an underappreciated gem.

A Strong Leader with a Proven Track Record

The success of McEwen Mining is closely tied to Rob McEwen, who is not just the company’s chairman but also its largest shareholder, holding a 16% ownership stake in McEwen Mining and 13% in McEwen Copper. McEwen’s reputation in the industry stems from his previous success at Goldcorp, where he helped grow the company’s market cap from $50 million to over $8 billion. With McEwen’s hands-on approach, alignment of interests with shareholders, and a strong commitment to innovation, the company benefits from leadership that is both invested in and focused on long-term value creation.

Focus on Critical Commodities for Emerging Sectors

McEwen Mining is uniquely positioned to benefit from the growing demand for critical minerals in sectors like artificial intelligence (“AI”), renewable energy, and high-tech infrastructure. With gold, silver, and copper playing essential roles in the AI industry, McEwen Mining stands to capitalize on the increasing need for these materials.

• Gold: Known for its exceptional malleability and resistance to corrosion, gold is crucial in the production of intricate electronic components, including those used in AI systems. Gold’s durability ensures reliable electronic connections, vital for continuous operation.
• Silver: Often overshadowed by gold, silver plays a pivotal role in the tech world, particularly in sensors and data storage. Additionally, its importance in solar energy solutions makes it a critical resource in sustainable technology, which is increasingly being integrated into AI infrastructure.
• Copper: As the backbone of electrical wiring and infrastructure, copper’s high conductivity is essential in powering data centers and AI servers. The company’s Los Azules copper project is one of the largest undeveloped copper deposits globally and could play a crucial role in supporting the infrastructure for AI and renewable energy systems.

This diversified exposure positions McEwen Mining to benefit from the growing demand across multiple industries, offering investors both stability and potential growth.

Financial Turnaround and Profit Growth

Recently reporting its highest quarterly gross profit since 2016 (https://ibn.fm/vhCcg), McEwen Mining is clearly on an upward trajectory, showing strong operational improvements. The quarter saw a 38% increase in revenue, leading to a gross profit of $10.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $7.2 million—an impressive improvement over the same quarter in 2023. This growth was largely driven by rising gold prices and improved operations at the Gold Bar mine and Fox complex. Despite challenges like increased production costs, McEwen Mining’s ability to boost revenue and maintain operational efficiency demonstrates a resilient business model.

Investors should also take a close look at McEwen Copper’s increasing value—most recently reported at an implied value of $947 million (https://ibn.fm/zp2KL)—making McEwen Mining’s 48% interest nearly equal to its entire market capitalization.

The Los Azules Project: A Game-Changer

Located in Argentina, McEwen Copper’s Los Azules project is the 8th largest undeveloped copper resource globally and expected to significantly boost McEwen’s future value. Recent developments include an agreement with YPF Luz to power the project entirely with renewable energy, aligning with McEwen’s commitment to sustainable mining practices. This partnership not only reduces the environmental impact of the project but also places McEwen at the forefront of responsible resource extraction—a crucial factor as the world shifts toward greener energy sources.

The renewable energy agreement with YPF Luz involves connecting the Los Azules site to the Argentine national power grid, ensuring that the project will be powered by 100% renewable sources. This initiative strengthens McEwen Mining’s reputation as a forward-thinking company, committed to sustainability in a sector often criticized for its environmental footprint.

As demand for critical minerals and precious metals continues to grow, McEwen Mining’s combination of assets positions it as a compelling investment opportunity. With its proven leadership, diverse portfolio, and commitment to sustainability, now is the time for investors to take a closer look.

• Dynasty has no debt and approximately 61 million shares issued and outstanding, with approx. 40% owned by insiders and long-term shareholders.
• The largest shareholder, owning 9.7%, is mining legend Rob McEwen, founder, executive chairman and largest shareholder of McEwen Mining Inc.
• The company recently launched the second phase of this year’s drilling campaign that will cover the remaining 1,800 meters of the 4,000 meter drill program announced in June 2024.
• Phase 1 drill results confirmed grades of up to 24.53 g/t within a broad zone of mineralization in the Eastern Pelham Zone.

Dynasty Gold Corp. (TSX.V: DYG) (OTC: DGDCF), a Canadian mineral exploration company currently focused on gold exploration in North America, with projects located in the Manitou-Stormy Lake greenstone belt in Ontario and the Midas gold camp in Nevada, represents a unique presence in the gold exploration space. As discussed at the company’s Annual General Meeting (https://ibn.fm/tq16Z), Dynasty holds a temptingly small market cap compared to increasingly impressive indications of huge potential with its high-grade gold resources, making it an especially attractive opportunity for investors.

With no debt and approximately 61 million shares issued and outstanding, Dynasty maintains a solid financial position that allows it to fund ongoing operations and continue exploration of its flagship Thundercloud Property. About 40% of the shares are owned by insiders and long-term shareholders, according to a recent company update detailing the results of the 2024 annual general meeting (https://ibn.fm/A2Z1e).

In addition, the founder, executive chairman, and largest shareholder of McEwen Mining Inc., and a member of the Mining Hall of Fame, Rob McEwen, owns 9.7% of the company, making this storied mining pro its largest shareholder, adding further strength to its shareholder base.

The Thundercloud project is in an emerging gold camp located in one of the most prolific mining areas in North America – in the Archean Manitou-Stormy Lakes Greenstone belt, 47 kilometers southeast of Dryden in northwestern Ontario.

The company held three drill campaigns at the property between 2022 and 2024 for a total of 7,350 meters. For three consecutive years, drilling intersected broad, shallow high-grade zones of gold including 8.4 g/t over 73.5 meters with 246 g/t over 1.5 meters (DP22-03), and 6.5 g/t over 34 meters (DP22-02) in 2022. In 2023, assay results returned 11.0 g/t over 12 meters (DP23-04) and 7.14 g/t over 14.8 meters (DP23-03).

In the first phase of this year’s campaign, the company confirmed grades of up to 24.53 g/t within a broad zone of mineralization of 5.1 g/t over 18 meters in the Eastern Pelham Zone.

An internally generated 3D geological resource model based on the 2022 and 2023 results indicated that the NI 43-101 Resource Estimate (September 2021) has been increased to 439,000 oz measured and indicated resource, at 2.14 g/t gold for an open pit resource. Additionally, the high-grade assay results of the first phase of the 2024 program are expected to further expand the resource.

Dynasty has recently launched the second phase of this year’s drilling campaign, which covers the remaining 1,800 meters of the 4,000 meter drill program announced in June 2024 (https://ibn.fm/2UrHc). This phase of the program will focus on testing the West Contact Zone, approximately 500m to 1,000m south of Pelham, where there was no previous drilling. The campaign will further test the currently obtained trench assay of 8.04 g/t over 39 meters. Other drill holes will test area of chargeability highs. Results are expected in the next few weeks.

“This project looks very promising of becoming a mine, given these grades and shallow intercepts. Large tonnage is not required for profitability,” said Roman Shklanka, Ph.D. (Geology), Director. “Additional drilling will further define mineralization along strike and at depth to unlock the total property potential.” (Note: Roman Shklanka was inducted into the Mining Hall of Fame in 2009.)

• Brera Holdings is the only publicly traded company focused on multi-club ownership of international football teams.
• As of October 2024, the company owns full or majority stakes in three professional soccer clubs across Europe, Asia and Africa, as well as an Italian professional volleyball club.
• In September 2024, Brera Holdings received the prestigious Social Impact Through Soccer award from the Internet Marketing Association for the second time in three years, recognizing its global social contributions through football.
• In January 2024, the company announced a proactive search to acquire an Italian Serie B football club, targeting expansion into Italy’s second division. A recent CFA report has projected significant revenue growth and capital appreciation for Brera upon completion of this acquisition.
• In June 2023, Brera Holdings acquired a strategic stake in English Premier League club Manchester United PLC, later selling the stake for a 74% profit, highlighting its ability to capitalize on high-value football investments.

Brera Holdings (NASDAQ: BREA) is an Ireland-based, international holding company focused on expanding its global portfolio of men’s and women’s sports clubs through a multi-club ownership approach. The company capitalizes on opportunities to earn tournament prizes, secure sponsorships, collect transfer fees, provide professional sports consulting services, and enhance the valuation of its clubs.

Brera Holdings builds on the legacy of Brera FC, an international football club (referred to as soccer in the U.S.), that it acquired in July 2022. Established in 2000 and based in Milan, Italy, Brera FC has distinguished itself by cultivating an alternative football legacy. In October 2024, the Internet Marketing Association awarded Brera FC with the Social Impact Through Soccer accolade at its IMPACT 5050 Conference, recognizing the club’s global perspective and positive contributions to society.

The company’s growth strategy focuses on unlocking value from undervalued sports clubs and talent, driving innovation, and generating socially impactful outcomes. Brera Holdings is actively expanding its Global Sports Group, acquiring professional football and other sports clubs in emerging markets such as Africa, Asia and Europe.

By targeting top-division teams in less mainstream markets, Brera Holdings aims to strengthen its competitive position in regional tournaments, including those organized by the Union of European Football Associations (“UEFA”). These acquisitions are expected to enhance sponsorship revenues and create new growth opportunities.

Leveraging its expertise in capital raising and revenue generation, Brera Holdings also anticipates growing demand for its consulting services, providing advisory support to sports clubs, associations, investors, and others. Brera Holdings is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, with additional offices in Milan, Italy.

Sporting Assets

Brera Holdings continues to grow its global sports portfolio with a series of strategic acquisitions and innovations, including the FENIX Trophy Tournament, a pan-European, non-professional football competition. Launched in September 2021 and organized by Brera FC, the tournament has been recognized by UEFA and described by BBC Sport as “the Champions League for amateurs.” In 2023, Brera FC hosted the tournament’s finals at Milan’s iconic San Siro Stadium.

In March 2023, Brera Holdings expanded into Africa by establishing Brera Tchumene FC in Mozambique. Starting in the country’s Second Division League, the team quickly earned promotion to Moçambola, Mozambique’s First Division League, by November 2023.

In April 2023, Brera Holdings further strengthened its European presence by acquiring a 90% stake in Fudbalski Klub Akademija Pandev, a first-division football team in North Macedonia. This acquisition provides access to two major UEFA competitions, solidifying the company’s position in European football.

Brera Holdings’ reach extends beyond football. In July 2023, it acquired majority ownership of UYBA Volley, an Italian Serie A1 women’s professional volleyball team, demonstrating its commitment to diversifying within top-tier sports.

In September 2023, Brera Holdings entered the Mongolian football market by acquiring Bayanzurkh Sporting Ilch FC, a Mongolian National Premier League team. For the 2024 season, the club was rebranded as Brera Ilch FC, further expanding Brera’s global footprint.

In January 2024, Brera Holdings initiated a proactive search for an Italian Serie B football club, aligning with its goal of bringing multi-club ownership opportunities to mass investors through its Nasdaq-listed shares.

In February 2024, the Brera Holdings Advisory Board was established with MLS founder and World Cup director Alan Rothenberg, luxury lifestyle executive Massimo Ferragamo, sports business leaders Paul Tosetti and Marshall Geller, and Italian football icon Giuseppe Rossi.

In June 2024, the North Macedonian women’s football club Tiverija Strumica officially became part of the Brera family with the establishment of a joint-stock company controlled by Brera Holdings called Women’s Football Club Tiverija Brera AD Strumica (“Brera Tiverija”). Brera Tiverija is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brera Strumica FC.

In September 2024 Brera announced that it signed an exclusive letter of intent to acquire an Italian Serie B club (the “LOI” and the “Club”). According to a CFA report published in June 2024, this expected strategic transaction, for an estimated purchase price of $21.6 million, would add first-year annual revenue of $10.8 million to Brera, and that revenue would likely increase by 25% each year for the next three years. The company’s capital valuation, projected the report, would also experience significant appreciation during this period.

In October 2024, Brera was recognized with the 2024 Social Impact Through Soccer Award at IMPACT 5050, an annual event honoring leaders and innovators who significantly impact their industries and communities. This is the second time Brera has won the award.

Market Opportunity

A report from IMARC Group, a global management consulting firm, reveals that the international football market generated approximately $3.3 billion in revenue in 2023, with projections to grow to $4.6 billion by 2032, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 3.6%. Key drivers behind this growth include advancements in digitization, increasing sponsorship and partnership deals between brands and clubs, the rising interest in women’s professional soccer leagues, and the expansion of the e-sports and gaming sector.

In particular, Serie B Italian football clubs seem to present exceptionally attractive investment opportunities. As of September 2024, more than half of these clubs had appreciated between 80-100% in total market value, post-purchase.

As the world’s most-watched and most-played sport, soccer drives significant demand for football-related products and services, contributing to market growth. Broadcasting rights, sponsorships, and endorsement deals are also major revenue sources for clubs and organizations, with an expanding global fanbase generating new opportunities for financial growth, according to the report.

• Chronic labor shortages in the hospitality sector force operators to adopt automated solutions
• Nightfood subsidiary offers key robotics and automation solutions designed to revolutionize both front-end and back-end operations within the hospitality industry

Recent research released by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce indicated that the leisure/hospitality industry has been hit hardest by the country’s perpetual labor shortage. This shouldn’t surprise anyone who has eaten or traveled in recent years. The short staffing is hard to miss, as it’s crippling the guest experience and guest satisfaction ratings.

Nightfood Holdings (OTCQB: NGTF) through its recently acquired subsidiary, Future Hospitality Ventures Holdings Inc., is solving this industry-wide problem with plug-and-play robotics and solutions which enhance service efficiency and consistency (https://ibn.fm/rSIBn).

According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the quit rate, which represents the number of employees who leave companies of their own accord during a given month as a percentage of employment, was highest in the leisure/hospitality space (https://ibn.fm/Ngb27). “The December 2023 quit rate for the industry was 4.3% — higher than all other industries, including wholesale/retail (2.5%), professional/business (2.5%), financial activities (1.5%), and durable goods manufacturing (1.3%),” a Cleaning and Maintenance Management report read.

“The U.S. Chamber also reports that the industry has consistently maintained the highest quit rate over several years, with the accommodation and food services industry subsector experiencing a quit rate above 4.5% since July 2021,” the article continued. The report went on to note that “jobs that are fully in-person and traditionally have lower wages have had a more difficult time retaining workers, even prior to the pandemic.”

Leading robotics industry publication AZ Robotics confirms that the labor crisis is driving mass industry adoption (https://ibn.fm/YfeoY). “While industrial robots have traditionally led the market, service robots are quickly gaining ground across various sectors,” the company noted. “These robots perform essential tasks like cleaning, security, medical care, and customer service.

“By 2030, the market for professional service robots is expected to reach $170 billion, overtaking the demand for traditional industrial robots,” the report stated. “This growth will be driven by factors such as demographic shifts, labor shortages and an increasing focus on efficiency and automation. . . . Industries like agriculture, hospitality and retail will adopt robots for tasks such as harvesting, food preparation and shelf stocking. Powered by AI and machine learning, these robots will become vital tools for companies seeking to reduce operational costs and improve service quality.”

Nightfood’s Future Hospitality is pioneering the emerging Robots-as-a-Service (“RaaS”) business model, solving both front-end and back-end challenges for labor-strapped operators. The company’s advanced serving robot works alongside front-end wait staff to ensure faster and more reliable service, streamlining service delivery, minimizing wait times, reducing human errors and enhancing guest experiences. On the back end, smart cooking bots support chefs and food prep staff, ensuring consistent food quality and enabling more efficient food prep and inventory management.

“We are excited about the positive feedback from potential partners who recognize the value our robotics solutions bring to their operations,” said Sonny Wang, CEO of Nightfood Holdings Inc. “Our technologies not only improve operational efficiencies but also enhance the overall customer experience, which is crucial in today’s competitive market.”

Future Hospitality has been showcasing the capabilities of its service robots and automated systems to an array of potential corporate clients, including restaurant franchises, assisted living facilities, hotels and hospital operators.

Nightfood Holdings is a holding company focused on identifying and capitalizing on explosive market trends within the hospitality, food services and consumer goods industries. By leading newly emerging categories and seizing opportunities in markets undergoing transformational upheaval, the company’s mission is to create unparalleled upside potential in industries ripe for innovation and growth.
