Roth CH Acquisition I Company (ROCH) Shareholders Approve PureCycle Deal

Roth CH I (NASDAQ:ROCH) announced in an 8-K filing that its shareholders have nearly unanimously approved its deal with sustainable plastic-maker PureCycle at a special meeting earlier today.

Strangely, 5,100 shares were redeemed at an estimated rate of $10.01 per share in connection with the vote. This is a negligible amount in terms of completing the deal, but is a surprise in that Roth CH I opened at $26.25 ahead of the vote and these investors could have more than doubled their money with a short wait.

The transaction is now likely to be completed in the coming days with the combined entity expected to trade on the Nasdaq under the symbol “PCT” thereafter.

Roth CH I initially announced its $826 million combination with PureCycle on November 16. Ohio-based PureCycle recycles polypropylene plastic into resin chips for making new plastic products that is more cost-efficient and environmentally sustainable than producing new polypropylene.
