Robo.ai Inc., a Nasdaq-listed UAE-based company, announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the equity interests of QC Capital Limited, also known as Quantum Core or QC Capital. The total consideration for the proposed transaction is US$60 million, payable in newly issued Class B ordinary shares of Robo.ai, with the consideration shares subject to a vesting and release schedule of up to eight years. The transaction is expected to close within 30 business days following, subject to customary closing conditions and other applicable requirements.

The proposed acquisition represents a strategic step in Robo.ai's development of a global artificial intelligence robotics network platform. QC Capital is positioned as an AI-driven technology holding and venture-building platform with capabilities across technology development, venture building and industrial investment. Drawing upon Robo.ai's successful experience in acquiring AI visual data processing and compression technology company Neurovia, Robo.ai expects the integration of QC Capital to strengthen its capabilities in technology company sourcing, capital allocation, venture incubation, cross-border mergers and acquisitions, post-investment operations and global commercialization.

The transaction consideration is structured to align with long-term performance targets. The consideration shares will be released in stages and linked to the achievement of multi-year revenue targets, aligning the release of transaction consideration with QC Capital's future business performance and the long-term interests of Robo.ai shareholders.

QC Capital operates on a model based on AI technology and operational enablement capabilities, with a focus on AI agents, vertical AI applications and industrial technology enablement for sectors including industry, transportation, embodied robotics and intelligent manufacturing. In the course of its operations, QC Capital expects to accumulate AI data, operating data from portfolio companies, post-investment operating data and market feedback data, which will be incorporated into its AI Investment Engine and QC Alpha™ system to support industry analysis, project screening, due diligence, risk management, post-investment management, M&A screening and portfolio optimization. This model is designed to create a long-term loop from technology capability to data assets, and from AI-assisted decision-making to revenue growth and ecosystem expansion.

QC Capital's business system includes four core areas: venture building, strategic investment, M&A platform development and AI investment technology. Its key areas of focus include AI infrastructure, smart cities, robotics and AI agents, autonomous driving and intelligent logistics, AI fintech, enterprise AI platforms and the next-generation digital economy. These areas are complementary to Robo.ai's artificial intelligence robotics network, intelligent device ecosystem and digital infrastructure strategy.

Under the acquisition agreement's performance-based release mechanism, the shares issued to QC Capital will be released over the next eight years subject to the achievement of specified revenue targets. These include a cumulative revenue milestone of approximately US$2.4 billion across 2026 and 2027, which will serve as a key benchmark for the phased release of the consideration shares. Robo.ai expects that, subject to successful closing of the transaction, successful business integration and the recognition of related revenue in accordance with applicable accounting standards, QC Capital may become an incremental platform for the Company's medium- to long-term revenue growth, industrial synergies and global AI ecosystem commercialization.

Benjamin Zhai, Chief Executive Officer of Robo.ai, stated: "Robo.ai is building a global artificial intelligence robotics network platform for the next generation of the intelligent economy. QC Capital is expected to bring capabilities in AI investment decision-making, data asset accumulation, venture building, M&A integration and global resource networks. Following the completion of the transaction, QC Capital is expected to serve as Robo.ai's platform for strategic holdings, venture building, investment development and data asset growth, supporting the Company's continued expansion across artificial intelligence, robotics, digital infrastructure, smart cities, intelligent mobility, low-altitude economy and the next-generation digital economy."
