Mountain Crest (NASDAQ:MCAC) announced that its shareholders have approved its combination with Playboy Enterprises at a special meeting earlier today.
The parties already announced yesterday that just 8,842 (about 0.2%) shares were redeemed by the deadline ahead of the vote, which teased a fruitful vote ahead.
Mountain Crest expects to close the deal February 10. The combined entity is to be renamed the PLBY Group, with shares expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq under the symbol “PLBY” on February 11.
Mountain Crest initially announced its $413.3 million combination with Playboy on October 1. The iconic brand is currently transitioning its business model away from its legacy media holdings towards licensed consumer products leveraging the brand as well as sexual wellness items.
