Computer hardware and software distributor Fayrewood plc has today sold its shares in ComputerLinks AG.
Fayrewood owned 27.47 per cent of ComputerLinks AG, a European value-added distributor of computer security products.
The firm said that the net proceeds from the sale are expected to be €27.4m, having traded at €13.55 each per share.
In a statement issued this afternoon, Fayrewood said proceeds from the sale "will be placed on deposit by the Company and aggregated with the proceeds received from the sale of UMD SAU.
