BUZZ-Telit: house broker gets behind co after "badly explained" share sale

** Internet of things (Frankfurt: 7IT.F - news) company Telit rises 2.6 pct as house broker Berenberg gets behind stock despite criticising a recent management share sale

** Shares (Berlin: DI6.BE - news) fell on May 24 after CEO Oozi Cats sold a third of his stake in the company in order to repay a loan that had been used to buy Telit stock

** Stock is down by around a quarter since hitting an all-time high in early May

** Still the most shorted stock on AIM with four funds disclosing positions totalling 8.5 pct
