(Alliance News) - The following stocks are the leading risers and fallers on AIM on Wednesday.
----------
AIM - WINNERS
----------
Thruvision Group PLC, up 88% at 1.69 pence, 12-month range 0.50p-18.00p. The Abingdon, England-based provider of walk-through people-screening technology wins a more than GBP1 million contract for 20 systems from a new unnamed government customer in Asia. The order is for the company's highest specification systems and is scheduled to be delivered in "the next few weeks". Thruvision adds that order intake for its first quarter that ended June 30 is GBP2.3 million, more than doubled from a year before and in line with its expectations. Thruvision also has been awarded its first contract to provide a unit to a UK prison, following its "ongoing success" in an unnamed European prison service. The firm now expects that its cash resources will last until the end of calendar 2025, extended beyond its prior estimate for resources lasting only until the end of September. However, it notes this is dependent on "future trading performance and conversion of the sales pipeline in line with the board's reasonable expectations".

AIM - LOSERS
----------
Blue Star Capital PLC, down 13% at 20.00p, 12-month range 2.00p-800.00p. The investment company with a focus on blockchain, esports and payments raises GBP1.2 million through a placing of 6.4 million shares at 18 pence per share. The fundraising is led by Axis Capital Markets Ltd, and Blue Star intends to use the proceeds to invest at least GBP1 million into SatoshiPay Ltd, the blockchain payments firm in which it holds around a 50% stake. The investment will be used by SatoshiPay to increase its existing digital asset treasury, including bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Blue Star will receive payment of the equivalent value of any capital increase in the portfolio. The company adds that it may also use some of the proceeds to support other existing investees, as well as for general working capital purposes. Blue Star aims to raise a further GBP100,000 in an offer to retail investors of 555,556 new shares at the same price as the institutional placing.

K3 Business Technology Group PLC, down 8.8% at 78.00p, 12-month range 58.00p-115.00p. The Manchester, England-based provider of business-critical software solutions for fashion and apparel brands proposes a de-listing from London's AIM market and posts a circular regarding a proposed capital return of up to GBP29.0 million to shareholders by way of a tender offer. The offer is from the proceeds of its sale of NexSys Solutions Ltd to private equity investor Advent International, announced in December last year. K3 says the tender offer will be at a fixed price of 85 pence per share, and a general meeting will be held on July 18 for shareholders to vote on the proposed cancellation of shares trading on AIM.
