Vongroup Limited ( (HK:0318) ) has provided an announcement.

Vongroup Limited has agreed a share swap under which it acquired a 40% stake in Slencor AI Inc. for HK$24 million and simultaneously disposed of a 60% interest in Vongroup Consumer Finance Corporation to the same counterparty for the same amount. The transaction, settled by set-off, marks a strategic pivot from consumer finance toward artificial intelligence data training and Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback services, aligning with Vongroup’s broader technology ambitions.

As part of the deal, Vongroup secured a right of first refusal to buy additional shares in Slencor AI up to a total cap of HK$120 million, with pricing linked to the target’s earnings and any competing third-party offers.
