Results of Accelerated Bookbuild

CloudCall (AIM: CALL; OTCQX: CLLLF), the integrated communications company that provides unified communications and contact centre software that tightly integrates with Customer Relationship Management ("CRM") platforms, is pleased to announce that following the announcement made on 1 March 2021 regarding the proposed conditional Placing and PrimaryBid Offer, the Company has received additional demand to increase the overall size of the fundraise to GBP7.5 million (total gross proceeds), raising GBP7.2 million via the placing of 8,845,284 Placing Shares at the Issue Price of 81.5 pence per Placing Share and raising GBP291k via the placing of 357,169 PrimaryBid Shares at the Issue Price.

The issue of the Placing Shares and PrimaryBid Shares is subject to, inter alia, Shareholder approval to enable the issue of the New Ordinary Shares, which will be sought at a General Meeting of the Company expected to be held virtually at 11.00 a.m. on 25 March 2021. In view of current guidance issued by the UK government restricting social gatherings, which would prohibit Shareholders attending the General Meeting, the Company requests that shareholders vote on the Resolutions by appointing the Chairman of the General Meeting as a proxy and giving voting instructions in advance, either using the Form of Proxy via post or through CREST. For the same reasons, the Company, with regret, requests that Shareholders do not attend the General Meeting in person irrespective of whether the restrictions on social gatherings remain in place.

Subject to, inter alia, Shareholder approval, the New Ordinary Shares in relation to the EIS / VCT Placing Shares are expected to be admitted to trading on AIM on or around 26 March 2021 and the New Ordinary Shares in relation to the General Placing and PrimaryBid Offer are expected to be admitted to trading on AIM on or around 29 March 2021. Applications will be made in due course to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM.

The New Ordinary Shares, when issued, will be fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares of the Company.

A circular, containing further details of the Fundraising and convening the General Meeting in order to pass the Resolutions (the "Circular") and a form of proxy are expected to be despatched to Shareholders later today. The Circular will thereafter be available on the Company's website at https://www.cloudcall.com/.

Canaccord Genuity acted as Nomad, Sole Broker and Bookrunner to the Company on the Placing and PrimaryBid Offer.

Next steps

In order for the Placing and PrimaryBid Offer to proceed, Shareholders are required to approve the proposed issuance of the Placing Shares and the PrimaryBid Shares at the General Meeting.

The expected timetable relating to the Placing and the PrimaryBid Offer is set out below.
