BEIJING, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- VNET Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: VNET) ("VNET" or the "Company"), a leading carrier- and cloud-neutral internet data center services provider in China, today announced the closing of the previously announced purchase by PJ Millennium I Limited ("Buyer I") and PJ Millennium II Limited ("Buyer II," and together with Buyer I, the "Buyers") of an aggregate of 650,424,192 Class A ordinary shares of the Company (the "Transaction") from Success Flow International Investment Limited ("Success Flow") and Choice Faith Group Holdings Limited ("Choice Faith," and together with Success Flow, the "Sellers").

VNET Group remains rated Neutral as the market shifts focus from event-driven catalysts to fundamentals amid uncertainty around the CATL transaction. Despite strong wholesale IDC demand and recurring revenue, higher capex, negative free cash flow, and rising leverage weigh on VNET's valuation and sentiment. The CATL deal's closure, expected Q4, is critical; delays or regulatory hurdles could exacerbate downside risk given VNET's balance sheet pressures.
