CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV: DOC, Frankfurt: 6PH)
(the “
Company” or “
CloudMD”), is
pleased to announce that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc.
(“
ISS”) and Glass, Lewis & Co. (“
Glass
Lewis”), two leading independent proxy advisory firms,
have each recommended that CloudMD shareholders
(“
Shareholders”) vote “FOR” the proposed
go-private transaction of CloudMD with 1480775 B.C. Ltd., an
affiliate of CPS Capital LP (a private equity investment firm)
pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations
Act (British Columbia) (the “
Arrangement”).
The ISS report states that, among other things,
“the Arrangement makes strategic sense, and the cash consideration
provides both certain and immediate value to an investor base which
might not otherwise have the opportunity for a liquidity
event.”
Glass Lewis has also released a report
recommending that Shareholders vote “FOR” the Arrangement.
“The endorsements from both ISS and Glass Lewis
underscore the strategic value and financial benefits of the
proposed transaction. Their recommendations validate our belief
that this Arrangement is in the best interests of our
shareholders,” said Karen Adams, CEO of CloudMD.
ISS and Glass Lewis are recognized as leading
independent proxy and corporate governance advisory firms whose
recommendations are relied upon by many major institutional
investment firms, mutual and pension funds and other institutional
shareholders.
