On February 26, 2026, Guardforce AI Co. and its Hong Kong subsidiary agreed to acquire all shares of Hong Kong-based MGAI Limited from All AI Co. for US$300,000 in cash and 5 million restricted ordinary shares, a deal later reported as closed on March 17, 2026. The consideration shares are subject to performance-based vesting through 2028 tied to revenue milestones at MGAI’s mainland China subsidiary, Shenzhen Muyan Education Technology Consulting, aligning equity issuance with the acquired business’s financial performance.

By securing indirect majority control of Muyan Education and its network of over 110,000 patients and 20,000 rehabilitation specialists, Guardforce AI positions itself to capture growth in China’s expanding children’s speech therapy market and to extend a healthcare-focused AI platform across Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, while using an earnout-style structure to limit upfront risk and support a roadmap of recurring, high-margin AI revenues.
