8i Acquisition 2 (NASDAQ:LAX) announced this afternoon that its shareholders have approved its combination with digital health firm EUDA at a special meeting this morning.
As of November 8, the SPAC saw a total of 8,195,770 ordinary shares tendered for redemption resulting in the final redemption price of $10.0837 per share.

At that time, the deal was struck at $583 million enterprise value and was something of an in-house deal as 8i 2 CEO and Chairman James Meng Dong Tan own a 10% stake in Watermark Developments Limited, which is itself the sole shareholder of EUDA.
