Shareholders from Disney and 21st Century Fox voted to approve Disney’s $71.3 billion offer to purchase Fox’s major film and television studios today (July 27), a blockbuster deal which has been months in the making.
The two companies had all but completed a deal last December, when Comcast submitted an 11th-hour offer to purchase the Rupert Murdoch-owned 21st Century Fox. Disney upped its offer to $71.3 billion, Comcast relented, and the shareholders approved the acquisition price this morning.
