Respective shareholders approve mergers that still await regulatory approval.

StanCorp’s shareholders nearly unanimously voted to approve the company’s sale to Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance.
The merger awaits regulatory approval.
Jeff Hallin, StanCorp’s VP of investor relations and capital markets, said the company now awaits regulatory approval on the deal.
“The good news with this transaction structure is that we retain all of our subsidiaries, including Standard Insurance Company, which means we keep our Portland headquarters, The Standard brand, our employees as well as our products,” Hallin said. “The sale will not affect our product offerings.”
