Arowana Inc. (“Arowana”) (NASDAQ: ARWA; ARWAU; ARWAR; ARWAW)
announced today that it intends to adjourn the extraordinary
general meeting of shareholders scheduled for 10:00 a.m., eastern
time, on December 15, 2016, without conducting any business, and to
reconvene the meeting at 4:00 p.m., eastern time, on December 20,
2016. Likewise, Arowana intends to adjourn the extraordinary
general meeting of its warrantholders scheduled for 9:30 a.m.,
eastern time, on December 15, 2016, without conducting any
business, and will reconvene the meeting at 3:30 p.m., eastern
time, on December 20, 2016.
The purpose of the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders
is to consider the proposed business combination with VivoPower
International PLC (“VivoPower”) and certain related matters. The
purpose of the extraordinary general meeting of warrantholders is
to approve an amendment to Arowana’s outstanding warrants to
provide that each such warrant will be exchanged for 1/20th of a
VivoPower ordinary share upon completion of the business
combination. Such approvals are conditions to completing the
business combination. Arowana determined that an adjournment of the
extraordinary general meetings was necessary to provide additional
time for the other conditions to closing to be met.
The extraordinary general meetings of shareholders and
warrantholders will be reconvened at 4:00 p.m., eastern time, and
3:30 p.m., eastern time, respectively, on December 20, 2016, at the
offices of Graubard Miller, Arowana’s U.S. counsel, at The Chrysler
Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 11th Floor, New York, New York
10174, the same location as the original meetings. The record date
for the extraordinary general meetings will remain November 18,
2016.
Arowana encourages all of its shareholders and warrantholders to
vote at the reconvened extraordinary general meetings. If you have
already provided voting instructions, your shares will be voted in
accordance with these instructions at the reconvened extraordinary
general meetings, unless you affirmatively change your instructions

extraordinary general meetings.
