On September 24, 2024, Roger Hamilton, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Genius Group Limited (the “Company”) was made aware of an attempt by the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, Michael Moe, to hold a board meeting of the Company without notice to him and at least one other director. Singapore counsel has advised the Company that such attempt to hold a Board meeting is not valid under Singapore law and thus any actions purported to have taken place at such alleged meeting, including, but not limited to, termination of Mr. Hamilton as CEO, are invalid.

 

Furthermore, the Company has received allegations from shareholders of LZG International Inc., the seller of Prime Source Acquisition, Inc. to the Company, that LZGI’s principals, Michael Moe and Peter Ritz, have not complied with LZGI’s corporate governance obligations in connection with the Prime Source transaction and the issuance of LZGI shares to themselves. The Company has also recently learned about issues relating to the corporate structure and representations regarding the ownership and control of shares and the alleged financial obligations of Prime Source itself, which may be in violation of the transactional documents between the Company and LGZI. Under these circumstances, the Company is in the process of investigating these allegations, through counsel, who have been asked to provide recommendations to the Company about any remedial steps, including litigation, that may be appropriate going forward.

 

The Company has terminated Mr. Ritz’s employment with the Company and is consulting with counsel with respect to further action as to Mr. Moe and Mr. Ritz.
