VivoPower International PLC Addresses Recent Market Activity in the Company’s Shares

 

LONDON, May 7, 2018 -- VivoPower International PLC (Nasdaq:VVPR) (“VivoPower”), a global solar power producer, has noted increased trading activity in the Company’s stock. While the Company's general policy is not to comment on market rumors or speculation, including market activities, the Company confirms that it has not taken any corporate action that would explain the trading activity and is not in possession of any material non-public information that would prompt the trading activity. Further, to the Company’s knowledge, no insiders have sold or acquired any of the Company’s shares recently, as the Company is in a blackout period in view of the reporting season, per the Company’s policies.

 

The Company continues to execute its strategy, including the previously announced strategic process to secure co-development capital for its US development portfolio.
