VANCOUVER, March 22, 2020 /CNW/ - mCloud
Technologies Corp. (TSX-V: MCLD, MCLD.DB) (OTCQB: MCLDF)
("mCloud" or the "Company"), a leading provider of asset management
solutions combining IoT, cloud computing, artificial intelligence
("AI"), and analytics, today announced it is evaluating alternative
arrangements with BuildingIQ (ASX: BIQ) as a result of material
misrepresentations mCloud identified during due diligence.
mCloud originally announced an Expression of Interest ("EOI") to
acquire BuildingIQ on February 10,
2020. As announced, the EOI was subject to a due diligence
period, which revealed that BuildingIQ required significantly more
cash to fund the business than was originally represented by
BuildingIQ management. mCloud informed BuildingIQ of this cash
deficiency on March 17, 2020.
The Company is exploring options under Delaware law to recover a secured A$500,000 loan already provided to
BuildingIQ.
