Q1 2019 Operating Highlights

In the first quarter of 2019, the mCloud Smart Buildings segment made continued progress in the quick serve restaurant segment with new implementations at notable restaurant chains, in addition to the continued service of existing long-term customers. On the technology front, mCloud made significant advancements in the evolution of its AssetCare™ platform with the Microsoft Azure Cloud.

In January 2019, the Smart Buildings segment also started a nine-year AssetCare contract with partner SCN Ltd. ("SCN") to connect the Heiwado Shopping Center in Changsha, Hunan Province, China. The Company provided an update in April 2019 announcing AssetCare connectivity had been established with the shopping center, marking a major implementation milestone.

In March 2019, mCloud's Wind segment announced a strategic collaboration with Britwind, an affiliate of UK's Ecotricity to target over 1,000 Endurance E-series wind turbines for upgrades that include AssetCare solutions for these turbines. Additionally, the Wind team is applying AssetCare analytics to improve wind turbine availability and health of wind turbines in China and continental Europe.

In April 2019, mCloud's Smart Buildings segment began a six-year agreement with TELUS Corporate Real Estate ("TELUS") to upgrade HVAC controls and deploy its AssetCare offering at 200 Consilium Place, a premier TELUS office tower in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada.

Go Forward Highlights

With the finalized acquisitions of CSA and Autopro in July 2019, the Company expects the stage to be set for mCloud as a major unified, high-growth player in AI-powered energy asset management, adding C$37 million in revenue and C$6 million in EBITDA. By late summer, the Company expects to bring onboard its first oil and gas customers, followed by significant wind deployments in China and the UK heading into the fall timeframe.

Additions to Convertible Debenture Financing Announcement

In relation to the Company's announcement earlier today of a proposed debenture financing, the Company confirms that the net proceeds received by the Company from that financing will be used, in part, to: (a) satisfy all outstanding cash obligations of the Company in connection with (i) the Company's previously announced acquisition of Flow Capital Corp.'s royalty interest in Agnity Global, and (ii) the Company's proposed acquisition of CSA; (b) fund ongoing working capital requirements; and (c) fund the proposed expansion of the Company's business, including its international operations. The Company does not intend to use any of the proceeds of the Offering to fund the Company's recently announced proposed acquisition of Autopro. This acquisition will instead be funded, in part, by non-convertible debt to be obtained by the Company in connection with the completion of that acquisition.
