Genius Group Limited (the “Company”) is providing the following update with regard to the pending litigation related to the Alleged Stock Market Manipulation of the Company’s shares:

 

The Company appointed lawyers Christian Attar & Warshaw Burnstein to conduct due diligence and take legal action against alleged stock market manipulation against the Company’s stock by various parties. Counsel completed their due diligence and damages report in February 2024, identifying evidence of multiple trade imbalances that suggest naked short selling and evidence of spoofing, with alleged damages calculated at between $251.3 million and $262.7 million. Subsequently, the lawyers have been in the process of securing third party financing to proceed with the case. On October 24, 2024, the Company was notified by Wes Christian of Christian Attar that funding has been secured and that, once the most recent Company data has been reviewed to update our damage model and identify potentially new defendants, the complaint will be filed soon thereafter.
