I'm the Chairman for the purpose of this call. I will basically bring the AGM officially to order, and say welcome to what is the very first AGM for Genius Group as a public company. I think the easiest way for me to walk through each item here is that I will share my screen so we can actually see each item together with the actual votes that were cast as part of this as well. Right. I'll do both as we go. First of all, here is my screen, and we are going to take a moment to go through each of these items one by one. I'll just make this a little bit bigger, so we can see it as well.
Here we are on the 9th of September, 7:00 Singapore time. At this point it is 7:00 P.M. New York time. We are going to go through the voting results for each of the different resolutions that are part of the AGM. There is a total of 24,690,663 votes or shareholders shares that actually are able to vote. The total number who did vote was 16,633,540, which makes up 67.37% of all of the voting available.
On the very first resolution, which was to receive and adopt the directors' statement and audited financial statements for the financial year ended 31st of December 2020, together with the auditor's report thereon, the number of votes for was 99.92%. Number of votes against was 0.04%. Number of abstentions was 0.04%. So that resolution passes. The second resolution is to approve the payment of directors' fees and remuneration of directors for the financial year ended 31st of December 2020. Again, the number of votes that were voted for was 99.35%, voted against was 0.38%, and the abstentions was 0.27%.
To approve the payment of directors' fees and remuneration of directors for the financial year ended 31st December 2021 was 98.358% for, 0.96% against, and 0.46% abstained. To re-elect Sandra Morrell in view of Article 68(2) of the company's constitution and in accordance with Article 71 of the company's constitution was 99.95%, with 0.01% against and 0.04% abstention. Also passed. To re-elect Nick Lim in view of Article 68(2) of the company's constitution and in accordance with Article 71 of the company's constitution. That was 99.75% for, 0.01% against, and 0.25% abstained, and so also passes.
We had to re-elect Anna Gong in view of Article 68(2) of the company's constitution and in accordance with Article 71 of the company's constitution. That was 99.64% for, 0.12% against, and 0.24% abstained. That one also was passed. Number seven, to ratify the reappointment of Mazars LLP as auditor of the company for the financial year for 2021 and also for 2022. That one was 99.96% for, 0.01% against, and 0.04% abstained. That one also passes. To authorize the directors to allot and issue shares. This will be for a period of 12 months from this AGM. For was 98.62%, against was 1.18%, and abstain was 0.2%.
That one also has been passed. Those are all of the resolutions from this AGM. Outside of that, this was the actual information that was provided on here as well, that we've just gone through all of that, all the way through to number nine. After that we had number nine, to transact any other business which may properly be transacted at an annual general meeting. I will pause at this point, given that we have actually gone through all the votes and passed all the resolutions, just to check in with Richard and all the other directors, whether there is any other business that anyone would like to transact.
No other business. Thank you.
Thank you very much. With that.
No. None here as well.
All right, great. We are going to bring this AGM to a close. I want to say thank you everyone very much for attending and looking forward to an exciting year ahead. Thanks very much, everyone. Bye.
Thank you.
Thanks, everyone.
