• Approved Pending Transaction and Year End Assets
• AssetCare Wind in UK and Europe

VANCOUVER, Jan. 17, 2019 /CNW/ - Universal mCloud Corp. (TSX-V: MCLD) (OTCQB: MCLDF) ("mCloud" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce, further to its previous releases on January 10, 2019 and June 21, 2018, it has received TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") approval for the acquisition of Flow Capital Corp.'s ("Flow") (TSX-V: FW) gross sales royalty in Agnity Global, Inc. (the "Transaction").

Under the terms of the Transaction, mCloud will acquire the royalty interest in exchange for the following compensation payable to Flow:

mCloud will also receive a loan from Flow in the amount of USD$2,000,000 for a term of 12 months, which will be established as an acquisition payable, under which mCloud will make interest payments of USD$41,667 per month until the loan is repaid. The interest payments under the loan are expected to be offset by the royalty collected by mCloud from Agnity Global, Inc. of no less than USD$41,667 per month (based on a monthly royalty rate equal to between 1% and 4% of Agnity's gross revenue).

"The successful close of this transaction is an important milestone for mCloud and allows us to shift execution efforts to closing the acquisition of CSA Inc., which was originally announced on January 11, 2018," stated Russ McMeekin, President & CEO of mCloud. "The Agnity acquisition creates strong synergies for mCloud and enables us to accelerate AssetCare's expansion and entry into new markets, including Europe."

"We have commenced making commercial progress with previous acquisition transactions of Norwin and Endurance in UK and Europe," added McMeekin. "We expect to secure AssetCare contracts in the coming months in these markets based on strong demand."

Roll-out of AssetCare Wind Initiative in the UK and Europe:

As announced on Dec. 11, 2017, mCloud acquired joint technology rights for the Norwin 225 kW Wind Turbine in an all equity deal.  The Company also announced that Norwin's founder, Ole Sangill, would be joining its team to lead the expansion of AssetCare Wind. Norwin's IP for wind turbines forms the basis of mCloud's AssetCare Wind Analytics, which have been licensed in over 600 installations worldwide.

Following this transaction, mCloud began pursuing key international opportunities. The Company identified attractive market trends in the UK and Europe. Both countries' feed-in tariff rates for wind triple or quadruple the U.S. or Canada's, creating high returns for end owners and a strong market for wind energy. mCloud's Norwin-powered solution has been positively received in these markets and the Company expects to secure AssetCare wind contracts in early 2019. Over the next several years, mCloud is targeting over 1,200 of the addressable turbines in these markets.

In accordance to a previously executed agreement with the founder of Norwin, the Company reports that its board of directors has approved the settlement of up to ?11,000 of debt through the issuance of common shares of the Company (the "Debt Settlement"). Pursuant to the Debt Settlement, the Company would issue up to 58,960 common shares of the Company (the "Shares") at a deemed price of CND$0.29 per Share to certain creditors of the Company (the "Creditors"). The issuance of the Shares to the Creditors is subject to, and conditional on, the approval of the TSXV. The Shares will be subject to a four-month hold period, which will expire on the date that is four months and one day from the date of issue.

Summary:

McMeekin concluded, "We ended the year with 28,813 assets connected and started this year with a solid commercial contract in China, we received approval from the TSXV for a long worked on transaction and are now off to the races introducing AssetCare wind in the UK and Europe."
