Genius Group Limited (the “Company”) is providing the following updates with regards to the FatBrain AI (LZGI) Asset Purchase Agreement signed on January 23, 2024:
Further to the previously reported issues related to the Company’s LZGI Asset Purchase Transaction, and in light of there being no out-of-court settlement reached to date with regards to the transaction, the Company’s Board has voted to proceed with arbitration to fully rescind ab initio the agreement and to pursue via the arbitration process the return of the 7.3 million ordinary shares in the Company issued and the $6.6 million in cash paid to date to LZGI as part of the transaction to the Company.
The Board further resolved that in the event the Company is successful in receiving back all or part of the 7.3 million ordinary shares related to this transaction, that these shares will be returned to the Company’s treasury, and the Company’s issued share capital will be reduced by the same number of shares.
The Board further resolved that in the event the Company is successful in receiving back all or part of the $6.6 million in cash related to this transaction, that this will be converted to Bitcoin as part of the Company’s Bitcoin treasury and the Company’s Bitcoin holdings will increase by the corresponding amount.
The Company is proceeding with its preparation and filing of its 2024 first half financial results, excluding the Fat Brian financials that would have been included had the transaction proceeded. The Company is also withdrawing any guidance or prior statements in which LZGI has been included, and will be releasing an additional Current Report on 6-K to provide full details accordingly.
