Evolva Holding SA Moves to Acquire GZO AG

Evolva Holding SA, a company listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange, has announced a fully-funded offer to acquire all shares of GZO AG Spital Wetzikon for CHF 5 million. This strategic move is aimed at avoiding GZO's current restructuring plan. Notably, municipalities owning GZO will not need to inject additional capital, receiving immediate cash instead.

The transaction allows for a generous debt restructuring without creditor losses, proposing a conversion into Evolva shares. Creditor recovery is expected at over 60% initially, with potential for full repayment in the future. Acceptance requires approval from more than half of GZO's shareholders and all creditors.

Post-acquisition, GZO will remain operational and free of debt, with adequate funds for development. For Evolva, the acquisition represents a step towards establishing a robust healthcare platform, utilizing GZO as a foundational asset.
