MEGA Brands formally will become a part of Mattel Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT). The Canadian toy company’s shareholders overwhelmingly approved the merger. This merger was to require approval of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders and a simple majority of the votes cast by shareholders other than Marc Bertrand and Vic Bertrand.
A press release showed that the majority was hit and then some, as it was approved by 99.96% of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy. This includes 99.96% of the votes cast by shareholders other than the named holders.
MEGA Brands makes construction toys, games and puzzles, as well as arts and crafts for children and families. MEGA Brands includes Mega Bloks, Rose Art, MEGA Puzzles, MEGA Games and Board Dudes.
