CALGARY, AB, April 8, 2021 /CNW/ - mCloud Technologies Corp. (TSXV: MCLD) (OTCQB: MCLDF) ("mCloud" or the "Company"), a leading provider of asset management solutions combining IoT, cloud computing, artificial intelligence ("A.I.") and analytics, is pleased to announce that it is commencing an overnight marketed offering (the "Offering") of up to C$12.6 million of units of the Company (the "Units"). Each Unit will consist of one common share (a "Unit Share") and one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant being exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company.

The Offering will be conducted on a "best efforts" basis by ATB Capital Markets Inc. (the "Agent"). A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners is acting as lead U.S. placement agent. The Offering will be priced in the context of the market with the offering price and the exercise price and term of the Warrants to be ‎determined prior to the filing by the Company of a prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") to its short form base shelf prospectus dated April 28, 2020, for Nunavut and its amended and restated ‎short form base shelf prospectus dated April 28, 2020, for the provinces of Canada (together, the "Base Shelf Prospectus") in respect of the Offering‎. There can be no assurance as to whether or when the Offering may be completed or as to the actual size or terms of the Offering.

The Agent will be granted an option to sell up to an additional 15% of the Units offered pursuant to the Offering on the same terms and conditions for a period of 30 days following the closing of the Offering. The over-allotment option may be exercised by the Agent to acquire Units, Common Shares, and/or Warrants.

The Company expects to use the net proceeds of the Offering to, in part, advance the Company's Alberta led ESG and oil and gas decarbonization agenda, including the commercialization of its new AssetCare™️ fugitive gas and leak detection solution, as well as to grow its business in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Closing of the Offering is expected to be on or about April 15, 2021, and will be subject to a number of customary conditions including, but not ‎limited to, receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and stock exchange approvals, including ‎approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and the entering into of an agency agreement with the ‎Agent.

The Offering will be completed (i) by way of the Prospectus Supplement in each of the provinces of Canada, other than Quebec, and in the territory of Nunavut, and the Prospectus Supplement will be filed with the securities commissions or similar securities ‎regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada and in Nunavut, (ii) on a private placement basis in the United States to persons who are either (A) "qualified institutional buyers", as such term is defined in Rule 144A under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or (B) "accredited investors", as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D ("Regulation D") promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act, and, in each case, in compliance with Rule 506(b) of Regulation D and applicable U.S. state securities laws, and (iii) outside Canada and the United States as agreed to by the Company and the Agent, provided that no prospectus filing or comparable obligation arises and the Company does not thereafter become subject to continuous disclosure obligations in any such jurisdiction.
