InspireSemi shareholders have voted to relocate the company from British Columbia to Delaware. The move, which passed with overwhelming support, is part of a broader plan to restructure share classes.

Why it matters

The relocation marks a significant shift in the corporate structure for the Austin-headquartered firm. The move remains subject to final regulatory and court oversight before it can proceed.

Shareholders approved the arrangement resolution with 99.59% of votes cast. The plan also establishes a conversion ratio of 100 subordinate voting shares for each proportionate voting share, though the final order depends on court approval.
