Telemedicine developer, CloudMD Software & Services (CSE:DOC) has completed a bought deal financing offer for gross proceeds of C$14.95 million.

The company is focused on digitising healthcare by offering patients access to all points of care from their phone, tablet or desktop computer.

The financing was led by Canaccord Genuity and Beacon Securities on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters, which included Paradigm Capital and Echelon Wealth Partners.

As such, CloudMD issued a total of 221.36 million units at a price of 70 cents each.

These units are comprised of one common share in the company and one share purchase warrant to acquire an additional share at a price of $1.00, exercisable over a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.

In addition, CloudMD issued a total of 1.49 million broker warrants to the underwriters of the financing as consideration for their services. These warrants are also exercisable at a price of $1.00 for a period of 24 months.

The company intends to use the proceeds raised under the financing to fund future merger and acquisition opportunities, as well as for general working capital purposes.
