iRobot sets Oct. 12 for new holder vote on revised deal with Amazon
Justin Sullivan
iRobot (NASDAQ:IRBT) will hold a vote on Oct. 12 for shareholders to decide on the planned sale to Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) after the original price of the deal was cut late last month.
The virtual vote is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Eastern time on Oct. 12, according to a proxy filing on Thursday.
The vote comes after Amazon (AMZN) revised its deal with the Roomba robot vacuum maker last month, cutting the price it was paying to $51.75 in cash from $61, when the deal was originally struck a year ago. iRobot (IRBT) holders previously voted to approve the original deal on October 17 of last year. 
Amazon (AMZN) and iRobot (IRBT) also noted last month that they are still working cooperatively with the relevant regulators in their review of the merger. On July 6, the European Commission opened an in-depth review of the purchase of the Roomba vacuum maker.
The UK's antitrust regulator approved the transaction in June. iRobot (IRBT) received a second request from the Federal Trade Commission in September to do a more in-depth review of the deal. Amazon confirmed in June that it had filed substantial compliance with the FTC's second request.
