Tenneco stockholders have approved the acquisition of PRI exhibitor Federal-Mogul LLC, a deal that was first announced in April of this year.

With more than 85 percent of eligible shareholders taking part in the vote, a total of three proposals regarding the acquisition was overwhelmingly approved by the group, which included plans for the issuance of stocks regarding the purchase of Federal-Mogul.

“We are very pleased with the results of the meeting and the strong vote of confidence from our stockholders,” Tenneco Chairman Gregg Sherrill said. “This is a major step forward in the creation of two strong leading global companies, each in an excellent position to capture opportunities unique to their respective markets, and realigned in a way to unlock shareholder value.”

Tenneco also announced that it has received regulatory approvals required to close the deal, which is scheduled to happen on October 1.
