NeoGames shareholders back Aristocrat deal
NeoGames’ shareholders overwhelmingly approved the Aristocrat Leisure acquisition last month.
Over 99% of investors who held 86% or the outstanding shares of the company voted in favor of the transaction.
Aristocrat announced in May that it would pay $1.2 billion to acquire all of NeoGames’ shares.
NeoGames board of directors has approved the transaction unanimously, but other conditions remain for the closing. The acquisition is subject to other closing conditions, including the receipt of gaming and antitrust regulatory approvals as well as foreign investment regulatory clearances.
The two companies hope to close the transaction in the first half of fiscal year 2024, if all closing conditions are met.
