Marfrig, BRF shareholders approve merger deal

SAO PAULO (Reuters) -Shareholders in Marfrig and BRF approved on Tuesday the proposed merger between the two Brazilian food processors, the firms said in a joint securities filing.

The approval placed the deal one step closer to completion, although it still lacks necessary regulatory approvals.

The firms announced in May a plan for Marfrig - already the holder of a controlling stake in BRF - to purchase the remaining shares of BRF in a share-swap deal, forming a global food company called MBRF.
