SINGAPORE, July 30, 2025 – Genius Group Limited (NYSE American: GNS), a leading education group powered by AI and focused on Bitcoin, announced the completion of the Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) with Entrepreneur Resorts Ltd (ERL), initially announced on June 10, 2025. This agreement finalizes the acquisition and reintegration of ERL’s entrepreneur cafés and resorts into Genius Group, expanding the Genius City model.
The company received confirmation from ERL regarding the shareholder vote results from the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held on July 30, 2025. The vote showed 5.78 million votes in favor of the APA, representing 99.97% approval, and approval to rebrand ERL as “Genius Resorts.”
This shareholder approval satisfied the final condition for closing the acquisition. The 50 million Genius Group shares held in escrow will now be transferred to ERL through a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. These shares will be restricted for six months before distribution to ERL shareholders at a ratio of three Genius Group shares for each ERL share.
ERL also presented a Post APA plan to its shareholders at the EGM, which included these key points:
The Learning Cities of the Future: The APA will speed up the expansion plans for the combined group. The group intends to develop learning communities using its hi-tech, hi-touch Genius Resort and Genius City model to create the learning cities of the future.
Genius Resort Model: The company’s internal objective is to launch 20 Genius Resorts within the next five years. These resorts will offer retreats, accelerators, and co-working spaces focused on AI, Bitcoin, and Community (the ABCs to the Future) in appealing locations, with an average revenue target of $5 million per resort.
Genius City Model: The group aims to launch 100 licensed Genius Cities within five years, providing AI-powered lifelong learning schools from early education to student apprenticeships and adult mentoring, each targeting an average revenue of $1 million. Additionally, it plans to build five owner-managed Genius Cities, each with a revenue goal of $20 million. (These goals are targets and not financial projections or forecasts.)
Acceleration of Genius City Plan: Following the completion of the GNS ERL APA, the group will expedite plans for the initial $20 million Genius City model, with the first fully developed model located in Bali, Indonesia.
2025 GNS Revenue Guidance: As a result of the APA, Genius Group increased its revenue guidance for 2025 by 50% from $10 million to $15 million – $18 million at the time of the APA announcement on June 10, 2025.
Education and Hospitality Expertise: Genius Group’s Genius Academy is based on an AI-powered gamified learning platform and is managed by an experienced Edtech team, while Genius Resorts is developing learning communities guided by skilled education and hospitality teams.
The Post APA plan includes further information on the Genius Resort and Genius Cities model, future plans, ERL financials, and disclosures on related parties. The presentation and a recording are available at .
Genius Group supports ERL’s Post APA plan and reaffirms the 50% increase in its revenue guidance for 2025, from $10 million to $15 million – $18 million, and may provide updated metrics as reintegration plans progress.
