In a move reflecting growing interest in advanced clean energy sectors, shareholders of Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. III have approved the proposed business combination with General Fusion Inc. The combined company is expected to trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol GFUZ, marking its debut as the first publicly traded, pure-play fusion energy company.
