All Funds Will Be Used To Quickly Deploy AssetCare^TM Cloud Solutions

• Initially targeting IoT connected assets in Canada but quickly expanding to the USA
• Targeting building HVAC and wind turbines assets
• Estimated to enable approx. 20,000 new connected AssetCare^TM customers by end of 2019 - all on multi-year subscription arrangements

VANCOUVER, Oct. 23, 2017 /CNW/ - Universal-mCloud Corp (TSX-V: MCLD) ("mCloud" or the "Company") has signed a Financing Agreement with CFG to help facilitate deployment of its AssetCare™ solution to the Canadian market, targeting buildings with critical HVAC requirements and wind turbines currently producing renewable energy throughout Canada.  AssetCare^TM combines the leading capabilities of IoT connectivity providers with the deep domain asset expertise of mCloud in a connected cloud solution with 24/7 vigilance. On a subscription fee basis, AssetCare^TM customers receive all of the necessary equipment and support services needed to improve the health and performance of their connected assets. The subscription fee is a fraction of the resulting financial benefits.

There are over 1 million connectable energy assets in Canada that can rapidly adopt market-ready IoT devices. mCloud's AssetCare^TM solution is an open, cloud-based solution that employs big data, deep analytics, machine learning, real-time collaboration and communications, 3D Augmented Reality (AR), and best practice maintenance to provide all asset stakeholders with total transparency in the health and performance of their connected assets - all within mCloud's Asset-Circle-of-Care^TM framework.  At its core, AssetCare^TM monitors the performance of HVAC units and wind turbines. Once connected, mCloud uses its proprietary technologies to improve asset performance resulting in better energy profiles. The Asset-Circle-of-Care™ extends to support field service actions including real-time video communication with asset experts and access to complete equipment documentation.  mCloud runs a 24/7 support center for its AssetCare^TM customers. The Agreement with CFG allows mCloud customers to enroll in AssetCare^TM without any up-front capital expenditure (CapEx) requirements. Customers can subscribe with mCloud, have a CFG approved service provider implement the IoT connectivity and begin seeing immediate tangible benefits from the AssetCare^TM solution.

mCloud President and CEO Russel McMeekin said, "Customers immediately benefit from AssetCare^TM without the lengthy and sometimes cumbersome CapEx decision process, especially if their assets are not of a vintage that is already IoT connected. We know that our technology generates positive cash flows for our customers from day 1.  We are so confident in this that we are offering customers use of AssetCare^TM without any obligation for 90 days – and at zero cost.  We believe this 'play without paying' option will greatly expand the servable market for mCloud."

Michael S. Maurer, General Manager of CFG said, "Clients come to us to eliminate the need for up-front capital expenditure, and to better manage their technology risk by making the total solution available on an affordable basis over a multi-year arrangement.  We have created a tailor-made and flexible financing program that will suit mCloud and their customers superbly, and we look forward to working with Russ and his team."
