Taptica shareholders voted overwhelmingly in favour of the deal, with 99.99% of shareholders voting to pass the resolution.
The next hurdle facing the deal is a general meeting for RhythmOne shareholders Friday at 1015 GMT. The deal is expected to be completed on April 2.
Taptica closed up 6.6% Thursday at 202.50 pence each. RhythmOne ended the session 6.1% higher at 175.00p.

RhythmOne shareholders will receive 28 Taptica shares for every 33 RhythmOne shares held. The agreement values RhythmOne at GBP135 million and will see RhythmOne shareholders take a 49.9% stake in the combined firm with the remainder held by Taptica shareholders.
