The board of directors of both Tiffany and LVMH had already approved the acquisition and recommended shareholders do the same.
“This approval is a significant milestone as we move closer to completing our acquisition of Tiffany, an iconic company with a rich heritage and unique positioning in the global luxury jewelry market,” said LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault in a statement announcing the decision.
LVMH said previously it expects the brand to bolster its presence in the jewelry market, particularly in the United States.

The Tiffany deal is expected to close in mid-2020, subject to stockholders’ approval as well as regulatory clearances and other customary closing conditions.
