ArcLight Clean Transportation Corp. (NASDAQ:ACTC) announced in a press release that its shareholders approved its combination with electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Proterra at a special meeting earlier today.

The press release did not mention redemptions or exact voting numbers for the business combination, but it notes that ArcLight plans to file the 8-K later today.  The transaction is now expected to close on June 14, and the combined entity’s shares and warrants will start trading on the Nasdaq under the symbol “PTRA” and “PTRAW” on June 15, respectively.
