Telekom Austria AG shares rose Tuesday after the company said it received shareholder support to spin off its mobile-towers business.

At 0832 GMT shares traded 5.5% higher to EUR6.55.

The Austrian telecoms company said late Monday that America Movil SAB and Oesterreichische Beteiligungs AG had agreed to support the spinoff of the business into a separate company on the Vienna stock exchange.

The company's two main shareholders also agreed to renew their syndicate agreement for another 10 years.

A decision about the spinoff is subject to relevant corporate approvals, Telekom Austria said.
