FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif.--In a special vote today at Oakley’s (NYSE: OO) headquarters here, the company’s shareholders voted to approve Oakley’s pending $2.1 billion acquisition by Luxottica Group (NYSE: LUX). Preliminary totals indicate approximately 83 percent of Oakley’s total shares were voted in favor of the transaction.

Stockholders will receive $29.30 per share following official closing of the deal, expected to occur next week.

Approval of the acquisition was not in doubt: a two-thirds majority of stock ownership was required for approval, and Oakley chairman Jim Jannard, who owns (and votes) just under 64 percent of the company’s shares, had previously come out in favor of the deal. Oakley’s board of directors had also unanimously recommended acceptance of Luxottica’s merger agreement, which the two companies finalized on June 20.

Once the transaction closes, Oakley will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Luxottica.
