VANCOUVER, June 10, 2019 /CNW/ – Universal mCloud Corp. (TSX-V:MCLD) (OTCQB:MCLDF) (“mCloud” or the “Company“), a leading provider of asset management solutions combining IoT, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (“AI”) and analytics, today announced that it has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) for the previously announced acquisition of Fulcrum Automation Technologies (“Fulcrum”) and Autopro Automation (“Autopro”).
As announced in the Company’s press release dated April 24, 2019, the acquisition of Fulcrum and Autopro expands the footprint for mCloud’s AssetCare™ platform by adding numerous major oil and gas customers along with industry-specific expertise that will drive the delivery of integrated AI-based oil and gas solutions combining AI, 3D, and mobile cloud computing technologies. It is expected that the synergies will enhance mCloud’s ability to grow revenues in the oil and gas sector globally.
“The closing of the Autopro acquisition will let us combine the technology talent we have at mCloud with the leading industry talent provided by Autopro to form a major digital asset management provider within the oil and gas market,” said Russ McMeekin, President, and CEO of mCloud. “Looking ahead into the second half of fiscal 2019, this acquisition will change our revenue outlook for the year and position us to accelerate the process of establishing a listing on the NASDAQ, which we have already commenced.”
The acquisition will be structured such that Fulcrum will initially acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Autopro for cash and common shares of Fulcrum (the “Autopro Acquisition”). Immediately thereafter, mCloud will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Fulcrum. As a result of this transaction, the Company expects to add to its total combined revenues C$35 million in revenue and C$5.5 million in EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis.
mCloud, Fulcrum, and Autopro expect to execute the final definitive agreements shortly and complete closing conditions before the end of June 2019.
