[6-K] VivoPower International PLC Current Report (Foreign Issuer)

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

VivoPower International PLC (VVPR) has received a Nasdaq notice confirming that it now satisfies Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires a minimum US$2.5 million in stockholders’ equity. The company reversed its previously reported US$40.5 million equity deficit (FY 2024) by completing the first phase of a US$121 million private placement, generating US$60.5 million in gross proceeds. This capital infusion eliminates the immediate delisting threat. Nasdaq will continue to monitor compliance; failure to maintain the threshold in the FY 2025 report could still result in delisting proceedings, subject to appeal. The Form 6-K is incorporated into several existing S-8 and F-3 registration statements.

Positive

• Regained Nasdaq compliance under Rule 5550(b)(1), removing immediate delisting threat.
• Raised US$60.5 million via private placement, converting a US$40.5 million deficit into positive equity.

Negative

• Ongoing monitoring means VVPR could face delisting again if equity dips below US$2.5 million in FY 2025.
• Partial financing risk: only the first US$60.5 million of the US$121 million placement has closed.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Capital raise restores equity, lifts delisting threat—overall positive for VVPR shares.

VivoPower’s US$60.5 million placement shifts the firm from a US$40.5 million deficit to compliance with Nasdaq’s equity listing rule. Removing the delisting overhang should improve liquidity and investor confidence, while preserving access to U.S. capital markets. The deal represents the first half of a planned US$121 million raise, suggesting further balance-sheet strengthening is possible. Although no earnings metrics were disclosed, the event is materially positive because it safeguards listing status and enhances financial flexibility.

Risk Analyst

TL;DR: Compliance achieved, but sustainability risk remains until full capital plan closes.

Nasdaq will reassess equity at the FY 2025 filing; if VVPR’s ongoing losses erode the new capital, the company could re-enter deficiency status. Only US$60.5 million of the US$121 million placement is closed, exposing investors to execution and dilution risk for the remaining tranche. Management must demonstrate operating improvements to prevent future deficits. Consequently, while today’s news is a relief, the long-term risk profile is unchanged until profitability or full financing is secured.

LONDON, July 1, 2025 — VivoPower Receives NASDAQ Letter Confirming Recompliance with Listing Standard

VivoPower International PLC (Nasdaq: VVPR) (“VivoPower” or the “Company”) announced that it has received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that, based on the Company’s Form 6-K, dated June 26, 2025, Nasdaq has determined that the Company complies with the 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 previously disclosed, on January 3, 2025, the Company received a notification letter from Nasdaq indicating that the Company was not in compliance with 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. Following the successful completion of the first phase of the previously disclosed private placement of US$121 million equivalent of the Company’s ordinary shares, the Company recognized gross proceeds of US$60.5 million. As a result, the Company has now satisfied the stockholders’ equity requirement.

Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement and, if at the time of its next periodic report for the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company does not evidence compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement, the Company may be subject to delisting. At such time, Nasdaq staff will provide written notification to the Company, which may then appeal the Nasdaq staff’s determination to a Hearings Panel.

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. 333-276509).
