LONDON, March 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VivoPower International PLC (Nasdaq: VVPR) ("VivoPower" or the "Company"), a leading B Corp-certified global developer and owner of powered land and data center infrastructure for AI compute applications, today announced that, effective March 16, 2026, before the open of trading on the Nasdaq stock market, its stock will be traded under the ticker “VIVO”. The Company has also changed its name to VivoPower PLC. Both changes reflect the Company’s business focus on building, owning, and leasing powered land and data center infrastructure for AI compute applications.

The name change does not affect the rights of shareholders, and no action is required from current shareholders.

VivoPower’s scope is land, power, and real-estate infrastructure, with technology and operations remaining under the domain of the lessor. VivoPower aggregates the scarcest input in the data center value chain—power-secured land, and monetizes through long-term, bankable lease contracts with sovereign nations, hyperscalers, neocloud players, and other tenants.
