SHFL entertainment shareholders have approved the merger with Bally Technologies.

More than 97 per cent of them voted in favour of adoption of the merger agreement. Shareholders also approved the non-binding advisory proposal regarding merger-related compensation with a vote of more than 92 per cent.

Approval of the merger agreement by the shareholders satisfies one of the conditions required to finalise the acquisition. The transaction is still subject to required regulatory approvals and certain other customary closing conditions.
