Under the agreement, shareholders will receive GBP7.50 per share plus an interim dividend of up to GBP0.03 per share to holders prior to completion of the proposals.
Ruby is a newly incorporated company controlled by the Oaktree Funds, which plans to combine Richmond with its Roncadin ice cream business in Germany upon completion of the deal.
North Yorkshire-based ice cream maker Richmond, whose shareholders voted in favour at an EGM on Friday (9 June), first announced details of the takeover a month ago.
