LSE investors to vote on Refinitiv deal on November 26

(Reuters) - London Stock Exchange Group Plc (L:LSE) said on Wednesday its shareholders would vote on Nov. 26 on whether to approve its $27 billion deal to buy data provider Refinitiv.

The LSE agreed to buy the financial information provider in August, in a deal aimed at offering trading across regions and currencies.

The deal was announced 10 months after a Blackstone-led (N:BX) consortium completed a leveraged buyout of Refinitiv from Thomson Reuters (TO:TRI), the parent organization of Reuters News.
