After just a few months of the announcement, today is the day that UK-based Eidos will become a part of the Japanese based company Square Enix. On Tuesday, Eidos announced that a court has approved the takeover, which was the final hurdle to making the deal final.
As a result of the acquisition, Eidos' shares have been taken off the UK stock market and its stockholders have received 32 pence for each share of stock in the company they own. The deal between the two companies was first announced in mid-February. It's currently unclear if the Eidos brand name will continue to be used in the new Square Enix regime.
