EasyJet shareholders approve the purchase of the company by the American fund Apollo

EasyJet shareholders approved the acquisition by Apollo, with 97.07% voting in favor. The deal, valued at £5.7 billion, will conclude EasyJet's listing on the London Stock Exchange. The acquisition is expected to finalize by the end of March next year. Apollo's offer of £7.15 per share surpassed Castlelake's bid, leading to Castlelake's withdrawal. EasyJet, founded in 1995, operates flights to 168 destinations across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
