VCI Global Provides Strategic Update on AI-Native Transformation and Subsidiary Spin-Off; Reaffirms Commitment to Nasdaq Compliance

VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) a diversified holding company transitioning toward an AI-Native operating platform, provided a strategic update on its evolving business model and reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements.

Validation of Modular Spin-Off Strategy

VCI Global continues to advance its strategy to unlock value from its subsidiaries through potential independent listings. The Company confirms that its consulting arm, V Capital Consulting Group Limited (“VCCG”), filed a Form F-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 28, 2026, in connection with a proposed listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

This initiative reflects VCI Global’s modular operating approach, under which selected business units may be scaled and positioned for potential independence. The Company believes this structure may enhance strategic focus, improve capital allocation efficiency, and support long-term shareholder value, although there can be no assurance regarding the timing or completion of any listing.

Progress Toward an AI-Native Operating Platform

Following the planned carve-out of its consulting segment, VCI Global is accelerating its transition toward an AI-Native operating model, with artificial intelligence positioned as a core layer across its business ecosystem. The Company is implementing a centralized automation roadmap aimed at embedding proprietary AI frameworks across key industrial verticals, including robotics, clean energy, automotive, mobility solutions, and selected consumer-oriented businesses.

Management believes that integrating AI at the operational level may enhance efficiency, support scalable growth, and enable more data-driven decision-making across its portfolio, while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to evolving market and technological developments.
