Company believes it has regained compliance with pro forma net equity of approximately US$20 million as of May 31, 2025 US$121 million Reg S investment round led by His Royal Highness Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki bin Talal Al Saud Including binding close of first-phase private placement totalling US$60.5 million in gross proceeds LONDON, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VivoPower International PLC (Nasdaq: VVPR) (“VivoPower” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that, based on a binding close of the first phase of the private placement and corresponding accounting treatment, the Company believes it has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), with a pro forma stockholders’ equity of approximately US$20.0 million as of May 31, 2025. On January 3, 2025, the Company received a notification letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires listed companies to maintain a minimum of US$2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Rule”). As disclosed in the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported a stockholders’ equity deficit of US$40.5 million. On April 24, 2025, Nasdaq notified the Company of its determination to grant an extension of time to regain compliance with the Rule. The terms of the extension required that on or before July 2, 2025, the Company must file a public report demonstrating compliance with the Rule, including disclosure of the transaction or event that led to compliance. On May 28, 2025, the Company announced its XRP-focused digital asset treasury strategy and a US$121 million private placement priced at US$6.05 per share. This investment was led by His Royal Highness Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki bin Talal Al Saud and included a consortium of non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933. Subsequently, on June 20, 2025, the Company confirmed the binding close of the first phase of this private placement equivalent to gross proceeds of US$60.5 million. Based on this development, the Company believes its preliminary pro forma stockholders’ equity as of May 31, 2025, is approximately US$20.0 million, which exceeds the minimum equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). In accordance with its normal operating procedure, Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement and, if at the time of its next periodic report the Company does not evidence compliance, it may be subject to delisting.
