As of November 5, 2024, VCI Global Limited. (the “Company”) effectuated a 1 for 49 share consolidation of its authorized share capital, such that every 49 ordinary shares, no par value, in the authorized share capital of the Company be consolidated into 1 ordinary share, no par value (the “Reverse Split”).

The Reverse Stock Split reduced the number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding from approximately 202.2 million to approximately 4.0 million.

In connection with the Reverse Split, the CUSIP number for the ordinary shares has changed to: G98218 202.

Any fractional shares that would have resulted because of the Reverse Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share at the participant level.

On November 1, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the Reverse Split. A copy of the Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
