VANCOUVER, Jan. 14, 2020 /CNW/ - mCloud Technologies
Corp. (TSX-V: MCLD, MCLD.DB) (OTCQB: MCLDD) ("mCloud" or the
"Company"), a leading provider of asset management solutions
combining IoT, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and
analytics, is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously
announced private placement offering of 2,875,000 special warrants
(each, a "Special Warrant") at a price of C$4.00 per Special Warrant for aggregate gross
proceeds of C$11,500,000, which
includes the full exercise of by the Agents (as herein defined) of
an over-allotment option to acquire an additional C$1,500,000 worth of Special Warrants (the
"Offering").
Each Special Warrant will be convertible into one unit of the
Company (each, a "Unit") without payment of any additional
consideration upon certain conditions being met. Each Unit will
consist of one common share of the Company (each, a "Common Share")
and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole
common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant
being exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company (a
"Warrant Share") at an exercise price of C$5.40 per Warrant Share for a term of five years
following the closing of the Offering (the "Closing").
The Special Warrants were offered pursuant to an agency
agreement dated January 14, 2020 (the
"Agency Agreement") between the Company, Raymond James Ltd. acting
as sole bookrunner and Paradigm Capital Inc. (the "Agents")
pursuant to which the Agents received cash commission equal to 7%
of the gross proceeds under the Offering.
The Company expects to complete an additional tranche of the
Offering on a non-brokered basis to certain purchasers for gross
proceeds of approximately C$1,500,000.
The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to
qualify the distribution of the Common Shares and Warrants issuable
upon exercise of the Special Warrants by way of a prospectus
("Qualifying Prospectus") within 60 days following the Closing (the
"Qualifying Condition"). The securities issued in connection with
the Offering will be subject to a 4-month hold period from the date
of Closing unless the Qualifying Prospectus is filed and receipted
within that time. If the Qualifying Condition is not met, each
Special Warrant will be exercisable (for no additional
consideration and with no further action on the part of the holder
thereof) for 1.1 Units.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for working
capital and general corporate purposes.
"We are pleased this Offering attracted mainly institutional and
international investors to mCloud," said Russ McMeekin, mCloud President and CEO. "This
positions us very well for our upcoming uplist to the TSX and our
plan to be listed on the NASDAQ in the coming months."
