You should add \thispagestyle{empty} after \endgroup so as to make TeX
aware that this page is part of acknowledgement and need not have page
numbers.  If not, when the group closes, the default pagestyle becomes
effective. The pagestyle operation takes place during output routine
while your group closing has taken place much earlier.
