Nov 13 (Reuters) - Frontier Communications shareholders have approved a $9.6 billion sale to Verizon
, the company said on Wednesday, even as a number of large investors sought to get a higher price.
Shareholders had until Wednesday to cast their votes on a deal that Verizon's CEO Hans Vestberg called a "strategic fit" that would allow the company to be more competitive in additional markets.
The deal will take 18 months to close.
