Gesher I (NASDAQ:GIAC) announced in an 8-K this afternoon that its shareholders approved its combination with global freight booking and payment platform Freightos at a special meeting held earlier today.
The deal was overwhelmingly approved with holders of 11,819,340 shares voting in favor of the deal and just 718,099 shares against it.

The parties were able to close the deal today and the combined company’s shares and warrants will soon begin trading on Nasdaq under the symbols “CRGO” and “CRGOW,” respectively.
