VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 8, 2020 /CNW/ - mCloud Technologies Corp. (TSXV: MCLD) (OTCQB: MCLDF) ("mCloud" or the "Company"), a leading provider of asset management solutions combining IoT, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence ("AI"), today announced that it has entered into an agreement with RCA Financial Partners, Inc. ("RCA"), whereby RCA will provide investor relations services to the Company, with Wayne Andrews of RCA acting as the authorized individual on behalf of the Company.

Mr. Andrews has extensive experience in financial services and investor relations having spent over 19 years writing and overseeing equity research for institutional investors, the last 13 of which were with Raymond James & Associates, where he was Managing Director, Energy Equity Research. He subsequently spent another 6 years with NYSE listed InterOil Corp. ("InterOil"), where he was Vice President, Capital Markets and Investor Relations.

As a key member of InterOil's management team, Mr. Andrews participated in the company's listing on the New York Stock Exchange and led its capital markets activities, during which time InterOil's market capitalization increased from US$350 million to a high of over US$5 billion before divesting interest to Total SA, and ultimately being acquired by Exxon Mobil Corporation.

"Mr. Andrews will play a key role in building on the excellent relationships we have developed in Canada alongside the TSX Venture Exchange, and our growth in the USA on our path to a listing on the NASDAQ," said Russ McMeekin, mCloud President and CEO. "Through the extensive experience and network with AssetCare™ end user customers that Mr. Andrews brings, mCloud will gain increased exposure to institutional and family office investors in Europe and Asia Pacific."

The consulting agreement is terminable by either party after August 31, 2021 on 30 days' notice. RCA, based in St. Petersburg, Florida, is arm's length to the Company and has experience with providing investor relations services to public companies. The services to be provided to the Company by RCA include investor outreach activities, assistance in corporate communications, and capital markets advisory services. The Company will pay to RCA a monthly fee of US$12,000 in cash and will issue RCA 150,000 common share purchase options pursuant to the Company's equity incentive plan, with one third of the options vesting each year from the date of the grant at an exercise price of C$3.65 per common share.

RCA, its directors and officers, and the authorized individuals at RCA acting on behalf of the Company, hold less than 1% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company in the aggregate and do not own any other securities of the Company or any right to securities of the Company. The engagement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
