LONDON--Home Retail Group PLC (HOME.LN) said Thursday that shareholders approved the resolution to sell its DIY chain Homebase to Bunnings (U.K.&I) Holdings Ltd., a subsidiary of Wesfarmers Ltd.
Home Retail which also owns Argos--the catalogue retailer--said 591.3 million votes, representing 99.33% of the votes cast favored the disposal.

Completion of the proposed transaction is expected to occur during the first quarter of the 2016 calendar year.
