Harvest Health Shareholders Approve Transaction With Trulieve Cannabis
It appears that Harvest health (CSE: HARV) and Trulieve Cannabis (CSE: TRUL) are set to become one. Last night, Harvest Health reported that its shareholders have approved a special resolution related to the proposed transaction.
The approval grants the two firms with the ability to proceed with the previously announced merger transaction. The meeting saw a total of 552.6 million shares vote in favour of the transaction, while just 0.8 million shares voted against the proposal.

Following the announcement, Trulieve Cannabis this morning filed its second quarter financial results, reporting revenues of $215.1 million along with adjusted EBITDA of $94.9 million.
An estimated timeline for closing of the transaction was not provided.
