“Tony Bloom’s decision to invest in Hearts was very much founded on the many benefits he saw at Tynecastle through the club being in fan ownership, not least its financial security through the level of our pledging.”
Bloom will be purchasing non-voting rights shares, which would not impact the 75.1% voting rights held by the Foundation of Hearts but he will be entitled to one place on the board and is expected to appoint a representative rather than take up the position himself.
FoH had said Bloom believes Hearts can “disrupt Scottish football” and that he wants to be a part of a “glorious chapter” in the Edinburgh club’s history.
Hearts finished season 2024-25 seventh in the Scottish Premiership and have appointed Derek McInnes as their new manager.
The club has a formal relationship with Bloom’s company Jamestown Analytics for recruitment.
