VivoPower PLC (NASDAQ:VIVO, FRA:51J) has fully retired the $28.8 million in shareholder debt it owed to AWN Holdings, eliminating the last of its principal obligation to the entity and sharpening its credit profile ahead of a planned AI data center buildout in Norway, according to a new ****** yst note from ****** le Capital Markets.
Of the total, $16.5 million was converted under the company's second PIPE offering, while the remaining $12.3 million was repaid in cash.
Analysts at ****** le said the move removes the ****** ociated interest expense and materially improves VivoPower's credit quality as it advances the Mo i Rana AI data center conversion.
The debt retirement follows a $50 million PIPE priced at $7.50 per share on July 29, led by Blue Sky Capital alongside Nordic, EU and GCC institutional and family-office investors. Proceeds from the raise are earmarked for the Mo i Rana project and further debt reduction.
VivoPower's board has also approved separating the company's 2.2GW non-Nordic portfolio, spanning the UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and the Philippines, into an independently listed and capitalized platform on the London Stock Exchange and Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange. ****** le said the restructuring moves the portfolio's capital expenditure off VivoPower's balance sheet while the company retains de facto control, leaving a Nordic-focused AI infrastructure business.
