InterCloud Systems Begins New Year with over $200K

NEW YORK, Jan. 12, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InterCloud Systems, Inc. (the "Company" or "InterCloud") (OTCQB:ICLD), a leading provider of cloud networking orchestration and automation solutions and services, today announced that it was recently awarded over $200,000 in new contracts to start the new year.  A majority of the work is expected to begin immediately.

Mark Munro, CEO of InterCloud Systems stated: “We have seen higher volume in our stock as of late, as lenders exercise their rights to convert their debt into equity.  The pressure on the stock from the conversions of debt into equity is not a reflection on the operations of the Company.  As we have previously disclosed, the Company is working very aggressively to secure more conventional asset based financing to help reduce these conversions.  We are also working on the sale of non-core assets to eliminate some of this convertible debt as well.  We continue to have a positive outlook for 2017 and anticipate that a stronger balance sheet, reduced operating expenses and continued marketing of our more profitable products and services will produce improved shareholder value in the future.”
