March 7 (Reuters) - Shareholders of Dutch-registered Yandex NV approved the sale of "Russia's Google," the country's most valuable technology asset, to a management-led consortium of Russian investors, the company said on Thursday.

Yandex last month struck a 475-billion-rouble ($5.27 billion) deal after months of negotiations to sell its assets in Russia at a heavily discounted price due to Kremlin demands on foreign asset sales.
