KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) (“VCI Global” or the “Company”) today announced that its Group Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Victor Hoo, has significantly expanded his ownership position in the Company through open-market purchases executed via his privately controlled investment vehicle.

The transactions, completed on November 21, 2025, were carried out in accordance with U.S. securities regulations, with full details to be furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) via Form 6-K.

The Board of Directors issued the following statement:

“Mr. Hoo’s increased open-market purchases underscore his strong conviction in VCI Global’s strategic direction and the substantial value-creation opportunities ahead. His continued accumulation reflects confidence in the Company’s multi-sector expansion across technology, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, financial services, digital asset infrastructure, and other rapidly scaling verticals.”

This development comes on the heels of VCI Global’s recently announced share repurchase program, marking a dual demonstration of confidence from both management and the Company. Together, these actions highlight VCI Global's belief that the market continues to undervalue its platform and growth trajectory.

As VCI Global accelerates major initiatives across enterprise technology, advisory services, digital infrastructure, and capital markets, the Company remains focused on aggressive execution, capital efficiency, and maximizing long-term shareholder returns.
