The deal is now subject to approval by the shareholders. Shares in LP Hill have been suspended from trading on AIM until the transaction is completed.
"The group has now completed a significant period of restructuring and today's announcement of the proposed reverse acquisition of Tranomaro represents a significant step forward,” said Executive Chairman of LP Hill Gerard Nealon.
