Shore Capital announced on 31 March 2015 that Spectrum's subsidiary, DBD, had signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement to sell its interest in national radio spectrum licences together with six regional radio spectrum licences to Deutsche Telekom AG for €15.45 million ("the Transaction"). The customary completion conditions have now been satisfied save for an approval by the German telecommunications regulator, Bundesnetzagentur, which is still awaited.  A further update will be provided to shareholders in due course.
