TORONTO, June 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV: DOC, Frankfurt: 6PH) (the “Company” or “CloudMD”), is pleased to announce the notice of special meeting (the “Meeting”) of the holders (“Shareholders”) of common shares of CloudMD (“Shares”) and of the holders (the “Optionholders”, and collectively with the Shareholders, the “Securityholders”) of stock options of the Company and management information circular (the “Circular”) are now available on CloudMD’s website at https://investors.cloudmd.ca/events–presentations/special-meeting/, as well as under CloudMD’s profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca). The mailing of the Circular and other materials related to the Meeting has also commenced.

The Arrangement and Meeting Details

At the Meeting, Securityholders will be asked, among other things, to consider and, if deemed advisable, pass a special resolution (the “Arrangement Resolution”) approving the Arrangement (as defined below). On May 14, 2024, the Company entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with 1480775 B.C. Ltd., an affiliate of CPS Capital LP (a private equity investment firm) (the “Purchaser”), in respect of a proposed plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The purpose of the Arrangement is to, among other things, permit the acquisition by the Purchaser of all of the issued and outstanding Shares. If the Arrangement becomes effective, each Shareholder will receive cash consideration of $0.04 for each Share held (the “Consideration”).

CloudMD will hold the Meeting on June 27, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) via audio webcast (at https://web.lumiconnect.com/416813823) with the ability to participate in the virtual meeting as explained further in the Circular.

Reasons for the Arrangement

• Process – The Arrangement with the Purchaser is the culmination of a lengthy process that included a strategic review that was initiated in August 2022 and overseen by a special committee and the strategic and liquidity review that the special committee (the “Special Committee”) of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has been engaged in since July 2023, with the assistance of INFOR Financial Inc. (“INFOR”). During that time, the Company, through its advisors, canvassed a significant number of other potential parties, none of which were prepared to make an executable binding offer to acquire the Company or provide capital to support the Company’s path to positive cash flow. The Arrangement provides the capital to support the Company’s business with specific consideration to all of the Company’s stakeholders and was the best alternative available to ensure the ongoing viability of the Company. Failure to complete the Arrangement could materially and negatively impact the trading price of the Shares and if the Arrangement is not completed, the Company does not expect that there will be an alternative that would provide any value to the Securityholders.
• Business and Industry Risks – The Board and the Special Committee concluded that the Consideration provides certainty of value to Securityholders, which Securityholders may consider as more favourable than continuing with the Company’s current business plan, in light of the risks and uncertainties affecting the Company and its business. These risks and uncertainties include: the current business, operations, assets, financial performance and condition, operating results and prospects of the Company, the outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s credit facilities and their near-term maturity, its limited cash resources, the current industry and economic conditions and trends.
• Fairness Opinion – The fairness opinion from INFOR (the “Fairness Opinion”) that, subject to and based on the considerations, qualifications, assumptions and limitations described therein, the Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders.
• Form of Consideration – The form of consideration payable to Securityholders, being cash, provides certainty of value and immediate liquidity.
• Credibility of the Guarantors – The obligations of the Purchaser, including its obligation to pay the Consideration and the outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s credit facilities, are guaranteed by affiliates of CPS Capital (the “Guarantors”). Given the Guarantors’ commitment, credit worthiness and record of completing transactions, the Guarantors are expected to be better able to withstand costs, payments, fees and other expenses, in part as a result of their financial position and access to capital.

Board Recommendation

The Board, based in part on the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee and the Fairness Opinion, has unanimously determined that the Arrangement is fair to Securityholders and is in the best interests of the Company, and unanimously recommends that the Securityholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution. The determination of the Special Committee and the Board is based on various factors as described above and more fully in the Circular.

Securityholders are encouraged to read the Circular and vote your securities as soon as possible. The proxy voting deadline is Tuesday, June 25, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time).
