TORONTO – Freshii Inc. says its shareholders have approved the sale of the healthy fast-food chain to Montreal-based Foodtastic Inc.

Foodtastic will acquire Freshii at $2.30 per share in a deal valued at $74.4 million.

In December, Freshii said it expects to benefit from Foodtastic’s scale and that the deal recognizes the value of the Freshii brand.
