On November 29, 2024, BGM Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: BGM) ("the Company" or "BGM") announces its acquisition of the intelligent platform of AIX Inc. (NASDAQ: AIFU) ("AIX") valued at 1 billion RMB (approximately $140 million). The intelligent platform encompasses AIX's subsidiaries – RONS Intelligent Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. ("RONS Technology") and Shenzhen Xinbao Investment Management Co., Ltd. ("Xinbao Investment"). Completion of the transaction is anticipated by the end of 2024.
Through this strategic acquisition, BGM formally ventures into the domains of AI intelligent technology and financial and insurance services, setting the stage for diversified growth beyond biopharmaceuticals and inaugurating a new era for the Company in the digital and intelligent landscape.
Mr. Xin Chen, CEO of BGM, commented, "AIX's efforts in digital innovation and intelligent transformation have yielded remarkable outcomes. Their accumulated technology and expertise will serve as a crucial reference for our own transformation in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors. This collaboration will not only bolster BGM's technological capabilities but also expedite our strategic development, enabling us to deliver more efficient and intelligent solutions to the global market. This partnership represents a mutually beneficial opportunity and I am optimistic about our future together."
Mr. Hu Yinan, CEO of AIX, stated, "Intelligent technology is the future of the insurance sector. AIX’s intelligent platform has already exhibited significant potential within the industry. However, broader advancement requires an open industry perspective and ecological support. Partnering with BGM will allow our platform to reach a wider user base and unlock greater potential for AI technology beyond the insurance realm. Furthermore, this collaboration aligns with national elderly care policies and promotes the growth of the silver economy. By extending our intelligent capabilities from insurance into the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, we aim to facilitate industry transformation through technology and propel AIX’s growth. AIX will maintain its role as the primary user of the intelligent platform, actively investing resources to maximize its technological capabilities. We are confident that this collaboration will create new opportunities for both AIX and the intelligent platform, enhancing value for our customers, industry partners, and shareholders."
