Evolva Holding SA Takes Note of GZO Shareholder Communities' Announcement

Reinach, Switzerland, 4 June 2025 - Evolva Holding SA (SIX: EVE) ("Evolva") has taken note of the public statement issued by the shareholder communities of GZO AG Spital Wetzikon ("GZO") on 3 June 2025 regarding Evolva's offer to acquire 100% of GZO's share capital as announced by Evolva on 27 May 2025.

Evolva remains confident that its proposal represents a compelling and value-preserving solution for all stakeholders. The offer eliminates the need for further municipal contributions, ensures the continued operation of the hospital, and provides a transparent and market-based path to restructuring via a listed company with access to capital markets.

Following completion of the transaction, control of Evolva would transition to GZO's current creditors - primarily Swiss pension funds and institutional investors - ensuring strong domestic oversight, governance and alignment with the long-term interests of the region.

With the offer valid until 4 July, Evolva reiterates its openness to engage in constructive dialogue with GZO, its shareholder communities, and other stakeholders, with the goal of achieving a consensual solution that protects jobs, safeguards medical care in the region, and creates long-term value.

At the same time, Evolva will continue to pursue alternative strategic options.

Documentation outlining the details of the transaction, key rationale and restructuring proposal is available on the company website via this link.
