Vecima Networks Completes $8.0 Million Sale of Radio Spectrum

VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Dec 20, 2011 (Marketwire via COMTEX) -- Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX:VCM) is pleased to announce that its special purpose entity YourLink Inc. has successfully concluded phase one of an agreement to sell a portion of its 3.5 GHz radio spectrum licenses to Xplornet Broadband Inc.

"We are delighted to conclude the first phase of this transaction," said Surinder Kumar, Chief Executive Officer of Vecima. "This sale is further confirmation that Vecima holds assets that have a market value much higher than our historical cost." Vecima entered into an agreement for a multi-phase transaction earlier in 2011. The first phase involved the sale of 16 licences for approximately $8 million. Options exist for the sale of additional spectrum licences in the next three months. Vecima believes that the market value of YourLink's remaining spectrum holdings, after the closing of this phase 1, is approximately $20 million to $30 million.
