SINGAPORE, July 10, 2025 — (NYSE American: GNS) – Genius Group, a prominent AI-powered, Bitcoin-focused education company, has announced the commencement of a share buyback program, previously approved by shareholders and the board, allowing for the repurchase of up to 20% of the company’s outstanding ordinary shares. On July 9, 2025, the company repurchased one million shares on the open market at an average price of $1.30 per share.

At the company’s Annual General Meeting held on July 7, 2025, shareholders overwhelmingly approved (98.8%) the share buyback mandate. This authorization empowers the Board to repurchase up to 20% of the company’s issued ordinary shares within the next twelve months or until the subsequent AGM.

Following shareholder approval, the company’s Board of Directors, on July 8, 2025, authorized the CEO to execute the share buyback, up to the full 20% limit approved by shareholders. The CEO has discretion over the manner, proportion, and timing of the repurchases to best preserve shareholder value.

On July 9, 2025, CEO Roger Hamilton executed the repurchase of one million ordinary shares at an average price of $1.30 each.

The one million shares repurchased represent 7% of the total shares authorized for repurchase under the approved mandate. These shares have been returned to the company’s treasury.

The company and its broker adhered to the guidelines outlined in Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, during the buyback execution. This ensured compliance and provided a non-exclusive safe harbor concerning the repurchase of shares.

The Company retains the option to conduct further buybacks within the approved mandate’s parameters. The manner, proportion, and timing of such repurchases will be determined based on the company’s assessment of economic and market conditions, along with the company’s share price relative to its current and anticipated enterprise and net asset value, to maximize shareholder value.
