International Datacasting Corporation shareholders voted Monday in favour of a deal that will see the Ottawa company merge with Winnipeg’s Novra Technologies.
The acquisition, which was first announced in April, came 10 months after shareholders rejected a proposed sale to San Diego-based Pico Digital.
“This is excellent news for our employees and customers,” IDC interim CEO Steven Archambault said in a statement. “I am very pleased with our shareholders’ strong, unified vote of confidence to proceed with this merger and become shareholders of Novra with over 40 per cent ownership of the combined company on a fully diluted basis.”
