Candle Lake Submits Takeover Bid for Evolution After 30% Stake

Kenneth Dart’s Candle Lake investment company has submitted a formal takeover offer for iGaming provider Evolution. The proposal follows the firm’s July purchase of over two million shares, which pushed its ownership stake above the 30% threshold.

Regulatory Requirements and Shareholding

The acquisition of the additional shares triggered a mandatory disclosure requirement under Stockholm Stock Exchange regulations. Once an investor’s holding exceeds thirty percent of a listed company’s voting rights, the exchange rules require the submission of a formal bid to remaining shareholders. Candle Lake complied with this obligation immediately after crossing the ownership limit.

Transaction Valuation and Next Steps

The takeover proposal outlines the financial terms for the complete acquisition of the gaming software supplier. The bid establishes the market valuation for Evolution as the transaction moves to the next regulatory stage, per iGaming Expert.
