KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Dec. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) (“VCI Global” or the “Company”) today announced that it has approved the spin-off of its capital markets advisory subsidiary, V Capital Consulting Group (“VCCG”), at a valuation of US$168 million. Following the listing, VCI Global will retain a 30% equity interest in VCCG, supporting the Company’s transition toward a more focused, technology-driven business model and a strengthened balance sheet.
The transaction marks the first execution of VCI Global’s newly introduced dual-track IPO strategy, an initiative designed to unlock subsidiary value, improve capital efficiency, and create clearer operating verticals aligned with long-term growth priorities.
Dual-Track IPO Strategy: Building Distinct Pathways for Scalable Growth
Track 1: 100% Pre-Money Carve-Out IPOs (Core Technology Divisions)
- V Gallant Limited (“V Gallant”): provides Enterprise Data and AI solutions, including AI Infrastructure, AI Analytics Platform, AI Security & Consulting Services, Cybersecurity & ISO Certification Consulting to support digital transformation in emerging markets
- Smart Bridge Technologies Limited (“Smart Bridge”): develops stablecoin infrastructure and provides digital asset and real-world asset (RWA) advisory solutions for institutional and enterprise adoption
Track 2: 30% Retained Spin-Off IPOs (Mature Portfolio Division)
- V Capital Consulting Group Limited (“VCCG”): provides listing (IPO) consultancy and business strategy advisory, leveraging regional expertise to guide high-growth companies and optimize capital structures
- VC Real Estate Limited (“VCRE”): property investment and development, focusing on commercial and residential assets across Southeast Asia
- VCI Energy Limited (“VCI Energy”): develops renewable energy and infrastructure projects, with a focus on clean energy generation and storage, sovereign energy frameworks, and strategic partnerships across Asia
This dual-track structure enables VCI Global to progressively surface the intrinsic value of its subsidiaries while preserving long-term strategic upside across key portfolio companies.
The spin-off of VCCG converts internal business value into market-recognized equity assets, enhancing balance sheet flexibility without shareholder dilution. It also enables VCCG to pursue its own capital-raising initiatives and listing objectives independently, providing greater operational autonomy. At the Group level, the spin-off reinforces VCI Global’s strategy to allocate resources toward its highest-growth technology verticals, including AI, GPU infrastructure, cybersecurity, and digital asset infrastructure.
“The spin-off of VCCG at US$168 million valuation represents an important milestone as we align our structure with the Group’s long-term strategic direction. Our dual-track IPO strategy is designed to unlock value systematically while ensuring that VCI Global focuses on our highest-growth technology verticals. VCCG’s transition onto an independent listing pathway underscores our commitment to capital discipline, stronger governance, and long-term shareholder value creation,” said Dato’ Victor Hoo, Group Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of VCI Global.
