Genius Group board approves $37M spinoff of Entrepreneur Resorts

Genius Group Limited announces a plan approved by the Board for the spinoff of subsidiary Entrepreneur Resorts Ltd to create shareholder value. Entrepreneur Resorts Ltd is a public listed company on the Seychelles MERJ Stock Exchange with a share price of $2.75 and market cap of $37 million, with 97% of outstanding shares owned by Genius Group. The company was acquired in June 2020 in an all-share swap, with shareholders in ERL receiving shares in Genius Group. Entrepreneur Resorts Ltd operates a Bali resort, South Africa safari and co-working cafes in Bali and Singapore. The process of the spinoff is now underway following approval by the Board at Genius Group’s Board Meeting on January 18, 2022. The spinoff will follow the Singapore legal process of a company restructure and capital reduction, and will be subject to shareholder approval and possibly a court order. If approved, it will result in all shareholders of Genius Group receiving an equal percentage of shares in ERL. The Board believes the spinoff will be of benefit to shareholders, as it will streamline and rationalize the group’s operations into Genius Group Ltd with its Edtech focus, and Entrepreneur Resorts Ltd, with its hospitality focus, enabling the management teams of both companies to grow their respective business models most effectively.
