Folkestone has announced that its shareholders have voted in favour of the proposed acquisition of the company by Charter Hall Limited, which was first announced in August.

Under the terms of the agreement, Charter Hall Limited would acquire 100 per cent of the ordinary shares in Folkestone via a scheme of arrangement.

Following the approval from its shareholders, Folkestone would seek approval for the scheme from the Federal Court of Australia and, if successful, it would lodge the orders of the court with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) on 23 October.

The $205 million acquisition would be funded by cash from available investment capacity, the firm said in August.

Folkestone shareholders were expected to receive $1.39 cash per share, which would comprise a Charter Hall cash consideration of $1.354 per share and a special dividend of $0.036 per share.
