Shareholders in Greene King have overwhelmingly backed a £2.7 billion deal for Hong Kong's richest family to take over the London-listed brewer and pub owner.
Investors holding 99% of the shares in Greene King voted for the bid at a meeting on Wednesday.
The deal, which offered a 51% premium on the share price on August 16, transfers ownership to Cayman Islands-based CK Bidco.
The firm is controlled by CKA Group, chaired by Victor Li, the son of Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing.
Shareholders in CKA voted through the deal ahead of the Greene King meeting on Wednesday.
The chain employs 38,000 staff across its 2,700 pubs, restaurants and hotels in the º£½ÇÊÓƵ.
When the deal was announced in August, CKA said it was looking for businesses with strong cash flows.
"The º£½ÇÊÓƵ pub and brewing sector shares these characteristics and we believe that this sector will continue to be an important part of British culture and the eating and drinking-out market in the long run," said George Magnus, an economist and non-executive chairman designate of CK Bidco.
It is the second time this year Asian investors have swooped on a British pub chain. In January, Fullers sold its beer business to Japanese drinks company Asahi for £250 million.
