Vianet Wins 'Best Payment System' & 'Best Supplier Website' at 'The
Vendies' 2022

Vianet Group plc (AIM: VNET), the international provider of actionable data
and business insight through devices connected to its Internet of Things
platform ("IOT"), is pleased to announce that it was crowned winner of two
awards at 'The Vendies' 2022 in London earlier this month.

At this year's Vending Industry Awards, held on Thursday, 9 June 2022, in
Holborn, London and hosted by Vending International, Vianet won the awards for
'Best Payment System' and 'Best Supplier Website', as well as being 'Highly
Commended' for the 'Corporate Responsibility' award, alongside the category
winner.

The event welcomed a wealth of suppliers and operators from across the UK's
vending industry, with the awards recognising the best innovations and
achievements within the sector. Vianet was shortlisted in seven award
categories. Each award entry was reviewed by an independent panel of industry
experts from across the sector in accordance with a strict set of criteria.
The shortlists went to an online vote, where professionals from the vending
sector were able to cast a vote on their favourite products, operators, and
individuals.

The 'Best Payment System' award against international competition is a huge
achievement for Vianet, recognising the Company's new all-in-one contactless
payment and telemetry solution, 'SmartContact Pro', which has been introduced
to the unattended retail market as contactless payment reached new highs of
demand throughout the pandemic.

Following the launch of its new and improved website in November 2021, Vianet
was also awarded 'Best Supplier Website' at the ceremony. The new website
enhanced the communication of Vianet's products and services, improved user
journey, and introduced a streamlined login area for accessing service
dashboards remotely.

Vianet's Mark Parry, Commercial Director, alongside Rachel Little, Marketing
Manager and Matt Thornton, Client Director attended the event and accepted the
awards on behalf of the Company.

Commenting on the awards, Mark Parry, Vianet's Commercial Director, said:

 "We had a fantastic day in London for The Vendies, and I'm extremely proud
of the Smart Machines division and our support functions who have contributed
to this success. Already in 2022, we have had some great achievements,
launching new features into SmartVend and expanding our reach in the payments
market. These awards are testament to this and the hard work of our team."

James Dickson, Chairman of Vianet Group plc, added:

"The Vendies award ceremony recognises the immense talent and creativity
within the fast-evolving vending industry, so to come away with two awards and
a commendation alongside the eventual winner in a third category is a
brilliant achievement for Vianet. The awards highlight significant recent
innovations made by the Company, notably the launch of our new all-in-one
contactless payment and telemetry solution, 'SmartContact Pro' and our new and
improved website. We are delighted to have these efforts publicly acknowledged
by experts and professionals in the sector."
