VCIG's Consulting Arm, V Capital Consulting Group, Secures Nasdaq IPO Advisory Mandate with AgriTech Innovator, Saturn Agtech

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) (“VCI Global”) is pleased to announce that it has secured a new Nasdaq initial public offering (IPO) advisory mandate through its consultancy arm, V Capital Consulting Group Limited (“VCCG” or the “Company”), with Malaysian-based agricultural technology firm Saturn Agtech Berhad (“Saturn”). VCCG will serve as the lead advisor for Saturn’s planned Nasdaq listing, which is targeted for completion in 2026. Saturn is a leading controlled environment agriculture (CEA) company in Southeast Asia, operating state-of-the-art indoor vertical farms in Malaysia. Since 2018, Saturn has continuously advanced its proprietary CEA systems through three generations of research and development. Its latest innovation, the Model 3 system, is engineered to transform sustainable food production, delivering over 2,300 tons per hectare per year – 20 to 30 times more efficient than conventional farming methods – achieved without the use of pesticides or herbicides. This mandate reinforces VCCG’s leadership in Nasdaq IPO advisory in Malaysia, as the Company continues to empower Southeast Asian innovators with seamless access to U.S. capital markets. Leveraging a strong track record, VCCG offers end-to-end advisory services covering equity structuring, capital market strategy, regulatory compliance, and coordination with key stakeholders, including underwriters, auditors, and legal counsel. VCCG’s momentum is further evidenced by its own planned carve-out IPO, which reflects both the strength of its business model and growing market confidence in its capabilities. As demand for U.S. capital market listing continues to rise across Southeast Asia, driven by the pursuit of global investor access, higher valuations, and deeper liquidity, VCCG is uniquely positioned to serve as the advisor of choice for ambitious, innovation-led companies. “As we advance toward VCCG’s carve-out IPO, mandates like Saturn affirm our market leadership and strategic focus on cross-border capital market solutions. Our team’s deep expertise enables us to guide clients through complex listing journeys and position them for long-term success,” said Vivian Yong, Chief Executive Director of VCCG. “Engaging with VCCG for our Nasdaq listing marks Saturn’s first step into the international capital markets, a defining milestone in our journey as an innovation-driven agricultural firm.
