Office Depot shareholders to vote on Staples merger Friday
With Office Depot’s Boca Raton headquarters and about 2,000 jobs at stake, Office Depot shareholders are scheduled to vote Friday on the office-supply retailer’s proposed merger with Staples.
If the $6.3 billion merger is approved, it will be one more step toward creating a single giant office-supply superstore in the nation. Office Depot previously merged with rival OfficeMax in 2013 in a $1.2 billion transaction, and the proposed merger with Staples was announced on Feb. 4.
