On August 17, 2026, VCI Global Limited (the “Company”) entered into a Business Separation Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) with V Gallant Limited (“V Gallant”), a Company Limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Separation Agreement provides for the separation of the Company’s technology related consulting and product businesses in the areas of artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, robotics, cloud storage, and hardware and software technology (the “Technology Related Business”) from the Company’s other businesses.

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain transition services to V Gallant, including HR and administrative services, finance services, and legal services, for a period of one (1) year following the closing (the “Transition Period”). The shared service costs for such transition services are set forth in Exhibit 1.01 to the Separation Agreement and are intended to reflect the Company’s historic cost allocation for providing such services.

The Separation Agreement also contains mutual non-competition and non-solicitation covenants for a period of five (5) years from the closing date. Under these covenants, neither the Company nor V Gallant (or their respective affiliates) may compete with, or solicit employees of, the other party during the non-competition period, subject to certain customary exceptions.

The Separation Agreement is governed by New York law and is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the federal courts located in New York.

The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Separation Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 6-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
