VivoPower Announces Leadership Changes

LONDON, 19 February 2026 – VivoPower International PLC (Nasdaq: VVPR) (“VivoPower” or the “Company”) today announced changes to its executive leadership team.

As part of the Company’s strategic focus on powered land and data center infrastructure — reflected in its recently announced acquisition of 291MW of powered sites in Finland, the securing of site and power access for a 25MW data center platform in the United Arab Emirates, and the successful completion of a $30 million PIPE financing, as well as the proposed acquisition of a 40MW energized Norway data center expected to add approximately $10 million in pro forma EBITDA — and following the transfer of its digital asset treasury business to its Korean partners, David Mansfield (Chief Financial Officer), Keith Loose (Chief Technology Officer), and Gary Challinor (Company Secretary) will be departing the Company.

VivoPower thanks David, Keith, and Gary for their contributions and wishes them success in their future endeavors.

The Board continues to strengthen the Company’s executive leadership and governance framework with experienced and well-credentialed data center and AI infrastructure leaders as VivoPower advances the buildout of its sovereign-powered AI data center platform.
