Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 17, 2024, VivoPower International PLC (the “Company”) entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Chardan Capital Markets LLC, to act as the exclusive placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) on a best efforts basis in connection with an offering of up to 10,000,000 of its ordinary shares, par value $0.12 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) at a price of $1.25 per Ordinary Share (the “Offering”). The Offering is made pursuant to the prospectus included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 (Registration No. 333-281065), initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 26, 2024 (as amended and supplemented, the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was declared effective on August 29, 2024. The final prospectus was filed on September 19, 2024. The documents relating to this Offering, including the Registration Statement and the final prospectus, are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 6.5% of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering. The Company also granted the Placement Agent, for a period of nine months from the closing of the Offering, the right, on at least the same terms and conditions offered to the Company by other investment banking service providers, to provide investment banking services to the Company on an exclusive basis in all matters for which investment banking services are sought by the Company, which right is exercisable in the Placement Agent’s sole discretion.

In addition, in accordance with the terms of the Placement Agency Agreement, each of the Company’s directors and officers, and certain shareholders, have entered into lock-up agreements (the “Lock-Up Agreements”) that generally prohibit the sale, transfer, or other disposition of the Company’s securities, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, for a period of 45 days following the date of closing of the Offering.

As of the date of this Report on Form 6-K (this “Report”), the Company has issued an aggregate of 2,200,000 Ordinary Shares in the Offering, providing the Company with approximately $2.3 million in net proceeds after transaction expenses. The Offering period will terminate on or about September 30, 2024.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering, together with existing cash and cash equivalents, to fund its working capital needs in connection with the expansion of its operations to the commercial electronic vehicle segment and to reduce its debts, including monies owed to shareholders, and for general corporate purposes.

The foregoing description of the Placement Agency Agreement and the Lock-Up Agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Placement Agency Agreement and the form of Lock-Up Agreement, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Report, and which are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.
