This week, Genius Group Limited (NYSE American: GNS), a leading entrepreneur EDtech and education group, announced their redeemable discount coupons (NFTs) are now available to shareholders of the record date February 28, 2023 to claim on Upstream.

Upon a successful claim, shareholders may redeem the NFT for iGEMs on Genius Group’s Edtech platform, GeniusU equivalent to $10 per share.

Who can participate?

Shareholders of the record date February 28, 2023, will be able to redeem the coupon NFT and iGEMs for discounts on courses or products. The iGEMs are for the use of each named investor and neither the NFT coupon nor iGEMs can be transferred, traded, or sold.

Complete details on how to claim and redeem discount coupon NFTs can be found on their Investor Relations website.

How to claim the discount coupon NFT

Shareholders can claim their discount coupon NFT by downloading Upstream from their preferred app store at https://upstream.exchange/, tapping sign-up; and completing a simple KYC identity verification.

The email address used for KYC identity verification on Upstream should match the email address used to create your GeniusU account. Once KYC is approved, shareholders can tap Investor, NFT, NFT claim, and enter the claim code “GNSCOUPON”, then Claim.

For non-objecting shareholders of record that currently maintain positions in brokerage accounts, their ownership will be verified via Genius’s shareholder list. Shareholders that are objecting may receive a request from Upstream via email to provide a copy of their brokerage account statement for the record date of February 28, 2023, that shows a long position of Genius Group.
