Shareholders Approve Well’s Purchase of Wachovia
Here’s a follow up to a story we first published back in early October: Shareholders from Wells Fargo and Wachovia voted today to approve the merger of the two financial institutions, resulting in the formation of one of the nation’s largest banks. In a deal that began back in late October, Well’s Fargo outbid Citigroup to takeover a struggling Wachovia.
“We are pleased that Wachovia’s shareholders agree that the Wells Fargo/Wachovia combination will provide superior growth and long-term value to shareholders, customers, employees and our communities,” said Robert K. Steel, CEO of Wachovia.
