Universal mCloud Announces DTC Eligibility and Provides Progress Update on Key Corporate Initiatives

VANCOUVER, Aug. 9, 2018 /CNW/ - Universal mCloud Corp (TSXV: MCLD) (OTCQB: MCLDF) (Cusip 91373W107) ("mCloud" or the "Company"), a leading provider of Artificial Intelligence and Analytics ("AI&A") and IoT-connected asset care technology solutions, is pleased to announce that its OTCQB listed common shares are now eligible for electronic clearing and settlement through the Depository Trust Company in the United States.

DTC eligibility with The Depository Trust Company, the largest securities depository in the world, will allow for more efficient and economic trading of the Company's common shares on the OTCQB and increase its visibility and accessibility with U.S. investors.

The Company's common shares will continue to trade on the Toronto Venture Exchange under the symbol "MCLD".

"Our DTC eligibility will provide U.S. investors with the ability to efficiently trade mCloud's common shares," said Russ McMeekin, President and Chief Executive Officer of mCloud. "As mCloud's shares become more broadly accessible, I would like to reiterate the opportunity ahead. mCloud is a pure play AI and Analytics Cloud company competing in the Global AI and Machine Learning Market, which according to the International Data Corporation's Worldwide Semiannual Artificial Intelligence Systems Spending Guide, is expected to grow to $57.6 Billion by 2021." 

The Company would also like to provide an update on several key corporate initiatives, building on the update previously provided on May 01, 2018 which covered the first six months since its public initiation on October 13, 2017. Notable updates since early May 2018 include:
