On July 21, 2023, Genius Group, Ltd. (the “Company”) received a Warning Letter from NYSE regarding the manner of disclosures from March 2023 events and that such disclosures must be made in compliance with Sections 401(a) and (b) of the NYSE Company Guide. The Company confirms that it has reviewed its disclosure guidelines and will ensure that its future disclosures are made in compliance with NYSE rules and guidance. In particular, the Company has initiated a formal procedure in which all disclosures are reviewed in advance by counsel and initial disclosures will be made through either press release and/or Current Reports on 6-K (or other then appropriate 34 Act report) and any communication on social media will be limited to replication of what has already been released into the public domain in a compliant manner. In its letter to the Company, NYSE also raised the issue as to the implications of a statement made by the Company’s CEO on social media on June 28, 2023. The Company clarifies that in making his statement as to the veracity of his comments on social media, Mr. Hamilton was merely discussing the veracity of factual content and was in no way implying as to the materiality of any statements made by him.
