Stock exchange Deutsche Boerse AG's (DBOEF, DB1.XE) ambitious plan to merge with rival NYSE Euronext (NYX) has been accepted by just 6.09% of the German exchange's shareholders, despite its plan to pay a one-time dividend.

The takeover offer has been accepted by holders of just 11.87 million shares, Alpha Beta Netherlands Holding NV, the holding company of what would be the combined firms, said Wednesday.

That corresponds to 6.09% of voting rights at Deutsche Boerse, or just 0.08% more than a week ago, the holding company said.

Deutsche Boerse holders have until July 13 to tender their shares.
