Evolution's shares rose about 3.4% to 718.8 SEK after major shareholder Candle Lake Limited bought a further 2.05 million shares, bringing its total stake to roughly 30.02%. Under Swedish takeover law, crossing the 30% mark triggers an obligation to make an offer, so Candle Lake must either present an offer for the remaining shares or reduce its holding below 30% within four weeks. Candle Lake is controlled by Kenneth Dart; the price increase was seen as a company-specific reaction to takeover speculation. » More on de.investing.com
