"The overwhelming support our shareholders have given today for the Transactions and Ancillary Matters, is critical to making the business combination with Urbn leaf and Loudpack a reality," added Mr. Hawkins. "In the coming days, we will be working to complete the steps required to close the Transactions, including complying with all necessary regulatory requirements. We expect to close the Urbn Leaf acquisition on or about March 1, 2022 and the Loudpack acquisition on or about March 15, 2022."
