Alex Cuppage, Chief Investment Officer, will represent VivoPower at the event on Wednesday, 20 May 2026. VivoPower's presentation is scheduled from 11:00 AM ET to 11:45 AM ET. The panel will be moderated by Killian Walsh, Managing Director, Structured Finance at KBRA, alongside other industry panelists. Management's presentation will focus on VivoPower's Sovereign AI compute infrastructure, and the rapid build-out of its Power-to-X platform — the development, ownership, and leasing of low-cost, sustainable powered land and data center assets in select sovereign nations. The team will join a panel of senior industry figures to discuss data center financing structures, the growing primacy of power access, and the role of infrastructure-grade capital in supporting AI-driven compute demand. The KBRA-hosted event brings together operators, financiers, and rating agency specialists to examine the structural forces reshaping data center capital markets. Panel discussions will address topics including power supply constraints, the breakdown of traditional real estate-based financing models under AI-driven compute demands, and emerging capital structures — spanning project finance, structured credit, joint venture arrangements, and asset-backed security markets — designed to attract a broader investor base.

Alex Cuppage, Chief Investment Officer of VivoPower, said: “VivoPower is delighted to participate in KBRA's European Data Centers Conference in London. The AI infrastructure market is undergoing a fundamental shift — sovereign considerations are becoming paramount, and while capital remains essential, power has emerged as the defining constraint. VivoPower's model is built around controlling that power scarcity at scale, retaining end cash flows in a permanent capital vehicle, and working side by side with sovereigns to deliver their nations' AI infrastructure. We look forward to exploring with fellow panelists how this shift will reshape the financing and structuring of these assets in ways the market is only beginning to consider.” Killian Walsh, Managing Director, Structured Finance of KBRA, said: “The rapid growth of AI infrastructure is pushing data center financing beyond traditional real estate models and toward a more diverse capital markets toolkit. As market participants explore a wider range of capital sources and structures spanning project finance, CMBS, ABS, and corporate-linked transactions, KBRA will continue to provide rigorous, thoughtful, and transparent analysis of the credit risks and structural features that drive transaction credit quality and help investors evaluate risks across evolving structures.” About VivoPower Originally founded in 2014 and listed on Nasdaq since 2016, VivoPower is an award-winning B Corporation with a global footprint spanning the United Kingdom, Australia, North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
