Changes of control
- 31 July 2025
Conversion to a company pending; completion unverified.
Members approved conversion into a SAD on 31 July 2025. The audited accounts record €370,000 of convertible investor loans signed on 26 August 2025, giving lenders the option to convert principal and interest into equity once the SAD is formed. A March 2026 report names Jordi Alba, Thiago Alcântara, Óscar Pierre and Gonzalo Álvarez as the backers of a €2,328,428.44 restructuring commitment, with debt clearance targeted for June 2026. This matches the June 2025 negative equity; it is not a purchase price or proof of payment. Completion, final stakes and full settlement remain unverified as of 8 October 2026.
