Sprint Nextel Corporation (NYSE:S): Current price $6.88
On Tuesday, Sprint shareholders okayed SoftBank’s acquisition of 78 percent of the company for $21.6 billion, which formally concludes an epic takeover battle that placed SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son and the DISH Network Chairman Charlie Ergen.

Sprint said that roughly 98 percent of votes cast at Tuesday’s special shareholder meeting approved the SoftBank deal, representing 80 percent of Sprint’s outstanding common stock.
