Fusion Acquisition Corp. (NYSE:FUSE) announced in an 8-K filing today that its shareholders approved its combination with fintech platform MoneyLion at a shareholder vote held earlier this morning.
The filing did not disclose redemption numbers, but FUSE traded above $10 throughout its redemption deadline September 17, and climbed 10.47% today, closing at $10.76.
A total of 27,285,861, or 62.37%, of Fusion’s shares were present at today’s meeting. The business combination was overwhelmingly approved as it received 26,847,370 votes in favor of the proposal.
