SINGAPORE, Dec. 18, 2025 — (NYSE American: GNS) (“Genius Group” or the “Company”), a leading education group powered by AI and focused on Bitcoin first, announced today that it has appointed DLA Piper as an advisor for the Company’s application to dual list on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
After the Company’s Board of Directors approved on August 8, 2025 to pursue a dual listing on an Asia Pacific exchange to increase shareholder value and accessibility, the Company has been exploring potential stock exchanges, resulting in a shortlist of three exchanges in Australia (ASX), South Korea (KRX), and Hong Kong (HKEX).
From the shortlist, the Company has chosen the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) as its preferred venue for a secondary listing as it offers the most direct and streamlined way for a company like Genius Group, listed on NYSE Amex, to reach a large Asia-Pacific investor base while maintaining the Company’s primary U.S. listing.
ASX has an established framework for US-listed companies seeking a dual listing, using CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs). CDIs enable investors to trade on ASX the economic interest in GNS shares that are still registered in the US market, providing seamless access to Genius Group shares for Asia Pacific investors through local brokers, clearing, settlement, and custodial infrastructure.
The appointment of DLA Piper marks the next stage of the dual listing process, where DLA Piper will prepare and submit an In Principle Advice Application on behalf of the Company to ASX within the next 45 days. The Company anticipates that the dual listing process, if successful, will take approximately four months to complete. The dual listing is subject to ASX approval.
DLA Piper is an international law firm with offices in over 40 countries across the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. The Company is working directly with DLA Piper’s Australia Securities & Public Company Advisory practice, which has assisted numerous clients with dual listing on ASX, structuring CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs), and related regulatory compliance matters regarding dual listings.
Roger James Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group, said “We have been looking for a suitable stock exchange for a secondary listing of Genius Group for some time, and we are glad to have identified ASX as our top choice. With over 2,000 listed entities and over US$3 billion in daily trading volume, it is the perfect exchange for an international, Asia Pacific-based education company like Genius Group. Multiple companies have already had success with dual listings between ASX and US stock exchanges for the benefit of their shareholders, and we look forward to being part of this group.”
