Shares in Vianet, a supplier of remote vending machine software, surged almost 40% after it announced a plan to raise £525,000 by issuing 10.5m shares at 5p each.

The placing shares will make up some 4.7% of the enlarged issue share company, Vianet said. The placing will come into effect if they are approved at a shareholder meeting on 9 January.

The additional money will be used to cover continuing operating expenses as the company continues its strategy of growth, Vianet said.

Commenting on the placing, chairman Ian Orrock said: "The directors consider that the placing is in the best interests of the company and shareholders as a whole. The placing will strengthen the company's balance sheet and support the implementation of the board's strategy."
