Shares of Harmonic rose after the company said it agreed to sell its video-business segment to video-streaming-technology company MediaKind for about $145 million.

Shares climbed 7% to $10.37, though are down 21% year to date.

Harmonic Chief Executive Nimrod Ben-Natan on Monday said the sale will provide capital to increase investment in its fiber business and aid in the company's $200 million share-repurchase program. It will also simplify operations, he said.

"With the pending sale of the video business, we will no longer manage two distinct operational models," Ben-Natan said on an investor call Monday. "This will simplify our business and enable us to operate more effectively and with greater agility."

The San Jose, Calif., virtualized-broadband and video-delivery solutions company said the proposed transaction is expected to close in the first half of next year.
