VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA — (Marketwired) — 07/08/13 — Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX: VCM), an experienced designer and manufacturer of innovative technology in the broadband equipment market, today reported that it has sold certain of its 3.5 GHz radio spectrum licenses to Inukshuk Wireless Partnership (“Inukshuk”) for $4.0 million. In connection with the sale, Inukshuk has consented to an order to dismiss, without costs, the legal action Inukshuk filed against Vecima in Ontario Superior Court. The legal action was reported in Vecima-s press release of December 19, 2012.
In a press release issued on July 12, 2012, Vecima announced that its estimate of the remaining value of its radio spectrum holdings was between $10.0 to $15.0 million. Since that time, Vecima has entered into three transactions to sell spectrum, including today-s announced transaction, for total proceeds of approximately $14.1 million. Vecima continues to hold radio spectrum licenses in the 24 and 38 GHz range as well as those licenses which are used by its YourLink subsidiary.
