VANCOUVERApril 3, 2018 /CNW/ – Universal mCloud Corp. (TSXV:MCLD) (OTCQB:MCLDF) (“mCloud” or the “Company”), a leading provider of Artificial Intelligence and Analytics (“AI&A”) and IoT-connected asset care technology, today announced that it has signed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) for a partnership with SCN Ltd. (“SCN”) to provide mCloud’s AssetCare™ HVAC Solution throughout the Chinese market. SCN is one of the top 20 commercial building contractors in China with a well-established reputation for its design/construction quality and innovation in building technology. The initial focus of the partnership will be on commercial complexes, malls and mega hotels in the provinces of China. The first installation/connection of AssetCare™ Solution is expected to start by mid-year 2018. The LOI is expected be converted to a Definitive Agreement later this quarter.

Recent studies show that electric rates in China have risen 17.5% over the past ten years while China’s electricity consumption per capita has more than doubled since 2005. These trends have led regulatory authorities to put an increased pressure on energy consumers for more efficient use of electrical energy. The SCN partnership will offer mCloud’s AI&A driven AssetCare™ Solution to optimize and reduce energy consumption across major Chinese urban centers.

“According to Lawrence Berkeley National Lab 2016 China Energy Statistics (https://china.lbl.gov/sites/default/files/misc/ced-9-2017-final.pdf), buildings consumed approximately 5,000 Tera Watt Hours per Annum of electricity at a CGAR of 12% at average energy rates of approximately 0.15 US cents per kWh. This trend is expected to carry on well beyond 2021,” said Russel McMeekin, President and CEO of mCloud. “The partnership with SCN will provide mCloud with access to a massive Chinese market which will stand to benefit tremendously from our proven AI-driven energy saving solution.”

SCN Ltd. are leaders in Green Energy Design and early adopters of technologies such as BIM (Building Information Model) making them one of the most recognized companies in the design and construction of large commercial, retail and hotel complexes with well over 50 top western corporate brands. SCN has received multiple prestigious awards in China and holds the highest business rankings in the People’s Republic of China.

“We expect a great adoption of AssetCare™ HVAC in China via this strategic partnership. China has one of the largest footprints of advanced HVAC assets outside the USA, all very readily connectable to the AssetCare™ Cloud and all served in very dense urban markets,” continued McMeekin. “The addition of Mr. Yan Zhao for our China expansion strategy and our partnership SCN Ltd. has us very well positioned for solid incremental growth in the second half of 2018 and very rapidly expanding in 2019 and beyond.”

The Chairman of SCN Ltd., Mr. Jianzhong Wang, said,

“We selected mCloud as our partner and AssetCare™ HVAC as our solution for the China market based on their very impressive references and installed base in the United States with major banks, retail and hospitality facilities.”

The terms of the agreement will be based on a split of revenues consistent with mCloud’s normal practices but customized for the local Chinese market. The final details of the terms will be outlined within the Definitive Agreement.
