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.
Genius Group CEO, Roger Hamilton, stated “We are fortunate to already have two public listed companies within the group, making a spinoff a viable option. While the MERJ exchange does not have high trading liquidity like the NYSE American, our future plan is to list Entrepreneur Resorts on a larger exchange.”
