Evolva Holding SA / Key word(s): Miscellaneous PRESS RELEASE | AD HOC ANNOUNCEMENT PURSUANT TO ART. 53 LR Evolva Holding SA: Update about earn-out from Danstar Reinach, Switzerland, 23 July 2025 - Evolva Holding SA (SIX: EVE) ("Evolva") has been informed by the buyer of the operating business of Evolva AG, Danstar Ferment AG, that no earn-out is payable to Evolva Holding AG for the second earn-out period (1H 2025) as the business did not meet the agreed sales level. Evolva and Danstar Ferment AG ("Danstar") entered into an earn-out agreement at the time of the sale of the operating business of Evolva AG to Danstar, a Swiss affiliate of Lallemand Inc. The earn-out was agreed in order to provide for additional future contingent purchase price payments of up to CHF 10 million, depending on the achievement of certain product-based sales targets. As communicated with the Annual Report 2024, the agreed sales floor of CHF 17.5 million for the first earn-out period (2024) was not reached and therefore no earn-out payment for 2024 was paid. Evolva has now been informed by Danstar that the agreed sales floor for the second earn-out period (January - June 2025) of CHF 10.29 million was also not reached. As a result, no earn-out payment can be expected for 1H 2025.
