INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT

 

On February 27, 2023, Genius Group Ltd. filed a complaint in the Federal District Court in the Southern District of New York against Alto Opportunity Master Fund, Ayrton Capital, and Waqas Khatri with whom Genius had entered into an $18 million loan agreement in August 2022 (the “Agreement”). The lawsuit seeks, inter alia, an order rescinding the transaction consummated under the Agreement and declaring the Agreement null and void ab initio. The basis of Genius’ claim is that Ayrton acted as an unregistered dealer, pursuant to an unlawful scheme to acquire millions of ordinary shares of Genius Group at discounted prices in order to sell them at an enormous profit. Genius has alleged that Ayrton violated multiple sections of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 including Sections 10b, 13, 15 and 16. To date, Ayrton has not responded to the complaint. It is premature at this time to opine or predict the final outcome of this litigation.
