Cloud DX Announces Closing of $1,942,000 Private Placement of Convertible Debenture Units, Amendments to Existing Secured Convertible Securities, and Equity Incentive Grants

Kitchener, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 29, 2023) - Cloud DX Inc. (TSXV: CDX) (OTCQB: CDXFF) ("Cloud DX" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that, further to the Company's news release dated December 7, 2023, it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement offering (the "Offering") of 1,942 convertible debenture units of the Company (the "Debenture Units") for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,942,000.

Each Debenture Unit consists of: (i) one $1,000 18% secured convertible debenture of the Company (the "Convertible Debentures"), and (ii) 10,000 common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants"). The Convertible Debentures will mature and be repayable on the date that is thirty-six (36) months from the date of issuance (the "Maturity Date"). At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the holder will be entitled to convert each Convertible Debenture into common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") at a price of $0.10 per Common Share. Each Warrant is exercisable to acquire an additional Common Share at a price of $0.15 per Common Share for a period of three (3) years from the closing of the Offering, subject to accelerated expiry provisions following the closing of the Offering. If, at any time, the closing price of the Common Shares listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") is greater than $0.30 per Common Share for twenty (20) consecutive trading days, the Company may provide written notice (a "Warrant Acceleration Notice") to the holders of the Warrants that the expiry of the Warrants shall be accelerated to a date that is not less than fifteen (15) days from the date of the Warrant Acceleration Notice.

The Convertible Debentures shall be secured against all present and after-acquired personal property of the Company and its subsidiaries, pursuant to general security agreements (collectively, the "GSAs") among the Company, its subsidiaries and Odyssey Trust Company (the "Trustee") and shall rank pari passu with all current holders of secured debentures of the Company, whether of the same issue or previous issue, as per the terms of the GSAs, an intercreditor agreement among the Company, its subsidiaries and the Trustee (the "Intercreditor Agreement") and debenture indentures between the Company and the Trustee.

Dr. Constantine Zachos, a director of the Corporation, subscribed for 67 Debenture Units in the Offering, for total gross proceeds of $67,000. Such participation is considered a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1) (a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that participation in the Offering by Dr. Constantine Zachos will not exceed 25% of the fair market value of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the closing of the first tranche of the Offering, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances in order to complete the Offering in an expeditious manner.

The Company anticipates using the net proceeds of the Offering for inventory and working capital. In connection with the Offering, the Company paid a cash commission of $89,360 and issued 893,600 finder's warrants, with each finder's warrant exercisable to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.15 per Common Share for a period of three (3) years from the date of issuance thereof.

The Convertible Debentures, the Warrants and any securities issuable upon conversion thereof are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the closing date of the Offering. The Offering remains subject to final approval by the TSXV.

This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States or "U.S. persons" (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act any application state securities laws.

The Series 1 Debentures mature and are repayable on September 8, 2026 (the "Series 1 Maturity Date").
