Update: Rights issue supports stevia JV

Evolva has announced a capital-raising in the form of a fully underwritten
rights issue, which will be used to underpin the company’s JV with Cargill.
Evolva plans to raise c CHF57m gross and roughly half the proceeds will
be used through to 2017 to invest in the manufacturing infrastructure for
the stevia JV. Stevia remains on track to be co-commercialised with Cargill
in 2016 and our model indicates fair value of CHF1.89 for Evolva.
