Recent strategic and AI/data center announcements have often been followed by sizable but mixed price reactions, with both strong rallies and sharp selloffs around ostensibly positive news.
Over the past months, VivoPower has focused on AI-ready infrastructure and EV growth. On Dec 30, 2025, it announced a Norway data center deal with indicative $10M proforma EBITDA and saw a -11.28% move. A Finland OGDC acquisition for 291MW of powered land on Jan 22, 2026 led to a modest gain. Advisory appointments and a Dublin office to build sovereign AI data centers sparked a 9.56% rise. Today’s EGM approvals on capital structure and incentives fit this ongoing repositioning and governance refinement.
Regulatory & Risk Context
An effective Form F-3 shelf dated Dec 23, 2025 allows VivoPower to issue up to $180,000,000 of securities from time to time for purposes including EV expansion, working capital, digital asset-related investments, acquisitions, and debt reduction.
