Tembo operates across international markets, including Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Oceania, Europe and North America

Increasing adoption of digital assets and currencies across these markets enables Tembo to provide these payment options, with potential benefits to its working capital cycle

LONDON, Jan. 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VivoPower International PLC (Nasdaq: VVPR) ("VivoPower" or the "Company") announced today that its subsidiary, Tembo e-LV will commence accepting payments for deposits and orders in Bitcoin (BTC), Ripple (XRP), and Dogecoin (DOGE).

The primary rationale is to provide customers and partners with added flexibility as to how to pay Tembo for goods and services provided. With instantaneous settlement, it has the potential to shorten the working capital cycle for the Company.

VivoPower will incorporate these selected digital assets into its corporate treasury management strategy. The Company's treasury may elect hold a portion of its reserves in Bitcoin, XRP, and/or Dogecoin, subject to ongoing market assessments and risk management considerations.

VivoPower remains committed to ensuring secure and compliant digital currency transactions and has established a payment architecture that enables this.
