Pinnacle Technology, the Scottish cloud-based solutions group, has gone back to investors to raise another £2.65 million, just a few weeks after a successful £300,000 placing.
The Stirlingshire-based group, listed on the Alternative Investment Market, has issued 883.3 million new shares in a placing that was again oversubscribed.
Chief executive Alan Bonner said: "We are delighted, in this difficult economic climate, to have secured the level of support we have received from existing investors, as well as new institutional investors who have participated in the placing.
"The placing will transform the company's balance sheet, and will provide Pinnacle with the necessary funding to advance our cross-selling programme, allowing us to expand the business further."
Pinnacle moved into the IT services and security sectors last year, and recently unveiled new chairman Dr James Dodd to succeed Bill Allan. Former Thus chief executive Mr Allan took over in 2010 from Graham Duncan, creator of the doomed Atlantic Telecom, as chairman of what was then Pinnacle Telecom.
Mr Bonner said: "Support from high-quality institutions has demonstrated the strength of the company, and we look forward with confidence to delivering investor value and share price appreciation."
Shares rose from 0.32p to 0.34p.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
