The proposed acquisition represents a strategic step in the development of Robo.ai’s global artificial intelligence robotics network platform.
Robo.ai Co., Ltd. announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of QC Capital Limited, a Nasdaq-listed United Arab Emirates-based company. Under the agreement, the total consideration for the proposed transaction is US$60 million, to be paid in newly issued Class B common stock of Robo.ai. The Consideration Shares are subject to a vesting and release schedule of up to eight years. The transaction is expected to close within 30 business days thereafter, subject to customary closing conditions and other applicable requirements.
This proposed acquisition represents a strategic step in the development of Robo.ai’s global artificial intelligence robotics network platform. QC Capital is positioned as an AI-driven technology retention and venture building platform with capabilities spanning technology development, venture building, and industrial investment. Through QC Capital’s integration offer and by leveraging Robo.ai’s successful experience in acquiring AI visual data processing and compression technology company Neurovia, Robo.ai expects to strengthen its capabilities in technology company sourcing, capital allocation, venture incubation, cross-border mergers and acquisitions, post-investment operations and global commercialization.
Under the acquisition agreement, the transaction consideration is structured to be consistent with long-term performance objectives. Consideration shares will be released in stages and will be tied to the achievement of multi-year revenue targets. This structure is intended to align the release of transaction consideration with QC Capital’s future performance and the long-term interests of Robo.ai stockholders.
QC Capital’s operating model is based on AI technology and operational enablement capabilities, with a focus on AI agents, vertical AI applications, and industrial technology enablement for sectors such as industrial, transportation, embedded 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. These data resources are expected to be incorporated into the AI Investment Engine and QC Alpha™ systems 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 capabilities to data assets and AI-assisted decision-making to revenue growth and ecosystem expansion.
QC Capital’s business system includes four core areas: venture construction, strategic investment, M&A platform development, and AI investment technology. Key focus areas 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 complement Robo.ai’s artificial intelligence robotics network, intelligent device ecosystem, and digital infrastructure strategy.
performance goals
Pursuant to the performance-based release mechanism set out in the acquisition agreement, the shares issued to QC Capital will be released over the next eight years, subject to the achievement of specified revenue targets. This includes, but is not limited to, cumulative revenue milestones of approximately $1,000. 2.4 billion in 2026-2027 and will serve as part of the main benchmark for the phased release of consideration shares.
Robo.ai expects that, subject to the completion of the transaction, the successful integration of the business, and the recognition of related revenue in accordance with applicable accounting standards, QC Capital has the potential to become a progressive platform for the company’s medium- to long-term revenue growth, industrial synergies, and commercialization of its global AI ecosystem. These earnings targets are forward-looking in nature and are not guarantees of future performance.
“Robo.ai is building a global artificial intelligence robotics network platform for the next generation of 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 network. After the transaction closes, QC Capital will serve as Robo.ai’s platform for strategic holdings, venture building, investment development and growth of data assets, including artificial intelligence, robotics, digital infrastructure, smart cities, intelligent mobility, the low-altitude economy and the next generation digital economy.
