VivoPower
Appoints Group Finance Director
On
July 20, 2026, VivoPower PLC (“VivoPower” or the “Company”) announced that effective from today, Syed Muhammad
Nouman will serve as the Company’s Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer for SEC reporting purposes,
as ratified by the Company’s Audit Committee.
Mr.
Nouman began his career at PwC, where he developed a strong foundation in audit and financial reporting. He is a Fellow Chartered Accountant
(FCA) with more than 17 years of global finance and accounting leadership experience. He brings deep expertise across audit and risk
management, IFRS and US GAAP reporting, mergers and acquisitions, commercial finance, real estate development and investment, and global
tax management. His career includes senior leadership roles in multinational companies across the oil & gas, real estate, automation
engineering, and hospitality sectors, overseeing complex finance operations across multiple continents.
Mr.
Nouman’s appointment strengthens VivoPower’s accounting and finance function as the Company scales its sovereign AI data
center infrastructure business and progresses the business combination of its Tembo subsidiary towards independent listing. His focus
will span group financial control and statutory reporting across the Company’s multi-jurisdictional footprint, public company reporting
and audit readiness in line with Nasdaq, SEC and UK Companies House requirements, enterprise financial planning, working capital optimization,
as well as support for corporate development including mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, capital raising, and transaction execution.
Kevin
Chin, Executive Chairman and CEO of VivoPower, said: “We are pleased to welcome Nouman to VivoPower as Group Finance Director.
His depth of experience across audit, financial reporting and multinational finance leadership, combined with his track record in mergers
and acquisitions and complex, multi-jurisdictional operations, is exactly what we need as we scale our sovereign AI data center infrastructure
business and progress the business combination of our Tembo subsidiary. Nouman’s appointment further fortifies our finance function
and our public company reporting capabilities at a pivotal moment in VivoPower’s growth.”
This
Report on Form 6-K, is hereby incorporated by reference into the Company’s Registration Statements on Form S-8 (File Nos. 333-227810,
333-251546, 333-268720, 333-273520) and Form F-3 (File No. 333-292437).
