Results of General Meeting

On March 17, 2017, VivoPower International PLC (the “Company”) held a general meeting of shareholders at which shareholders voted to approve the share repurchase agreements between the Company and Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. (“Oppenheimer”) relating to the Company’s previously announced share repurchase program. As a result of the general meeting, the Company is authorized, until March 16, 2019, to repurchase up to $10 million of its outstanding ordinary shares, representing approximately 15% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as of February 28, 2017, at a minimum price of $3.00 per share. The maximum price which may be paid for any such ordinary share will be the amount equal to the highest independent bid or the last independent transaction price, whichever is higher, as reported by the Nasdaq Capital Market at the time the purchase is effected.

Under the program, shares may be purchased in open market transactions, including through block purchases, through privately negotiated transactions, or pursuant to any trading plan (a “10b5-1 Plan”) that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). A 10b5-1 Plan allows a company to repurchase its shares at times when it otherwise might be prevented from doing so under the securities laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods. The Company expects to enter into a 10b5-1 Plan with Oppenheimer pursuant to which Oppenheimer will be authorized on the Company’s behalf to purchase the Company’s ordinary shares. Because the repurchases under the 10b5-1 Plan will be subject to pricing parameters, there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased pursuant thereto, or that there will be any repurchases pursuant to the 10b5-1 Plan.

The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined in the Company’s discretion and the share repurchase program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares, and all open market repurchases will be made in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 10b-18, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of open market stock repurchases.
