Pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Merger, the Parscale Shareholder received ninety thousand (90,000) shares (the “ Stock Consideration ”) of the Company’s newly designated Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “ Series D Preferred Stock ”), with a stated value of $100 per share, in exchange for the cancellation of his stockholding in Parscale. The Articles of Merger were filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on August 1, 2017 (the “ Effective Time ”) and at that time, the separate legal existence of Parscale ceased, and Merger Sub became the surviving company in the Merger and shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name “Parscale Digital, Inc.”
At the Effective Time of the Merger, automatically by virtue of the Merger, each share of Parscale that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted, on a prorata basis, into validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Series D Preferred Stock representing their pro rata interest in Parscale and the Stock Consideration.
Pursuant to the Plan of Merger, the Parscale Shareholder has agreed to a covenant not to compete subject to the terms and conditions in the Plan of Merger for a period of three (3) years following the Effective Time (the “ Non-Competition Period ”). The Parscale Shareholder further agreed that during the Non-Competition Period, he will not directly or indirectly solicit or agree to service for his benefit or the benefit of any third-party, any of Parscale’s, the Company’s, or Merger Sub’s customers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan of Merger, the Parscale Shareholder may compete with the Company if the work contracted by the Parscale Shareholder is subsequently sub-contracted at a market rate to the Company or a subsidiary company owned by the Company.
Pursuant to the Plan of Merger, during the period beginning on the Effective Time and ending on the twenty four (24) month anniversary thereof, the Parscale Shareholder will not directly or indirectly, (i) offer, sell, offer to sell, contract to sell, hedge, pledge, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, any portion of the Stock Consideration, or any shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Stock Consideration (collectively the “ Lock-Up Securities ”), beneficially owned, within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by such holder on the Effective Date, or hereafter acquired or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of any portion of the Lock-Up Securities.
Each of the parties to the Plan of Merger have made customary representations and warranties in the Plan of Merger.

Subject to the dividend rights of the Company’s outstanding shares of Series A, B and C Preferred Stock, each share of outstanding Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a dividend, paid quarterly, out of any assets of the Company legally available therefore, at the amount equal to: (1/90,000) x (5% of the Adjusted Gross Revenue) of Merger Sub. “Adjusted Gross Revenue” shall mean the top line gross revenue of Merger Sub, as calculated under GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) less any reselling revenue attributed to third party advertising products or service, such as, but not limited to, search engine keyword campaign fees, social media campaign fees, radio or television advertising fees, and the like.
Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into two thousand five hundred (2,500) shares of the Company’s fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, as adjusted.

Bradley Parscale may hire a former employee within (12) months of former employees’ employment upon written consent of the Company. Bradley Parscale further covenants and agrees that during the Non-Competition Period, he will not directly or indirectly solicit or agree to service for his benefit or the benefit of any third-party, any of Parscale’s, Buyer's, or the Surviving Company's customers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2.1 shall prohibit him from owning, managing, operating, participating in the operation of, or advising, consulting or being employed by any entity that is not involved in the Competitive Business, as long as such activities do not affect any responsibilities of employment or consultation at the Company or its subsidiaries, including the Surviving Company. The Parties agree that Bradley Parscale can continue to provide Facebook marketing and data services to non-political customers and digital marketing services to political clients and for political related campaigns, anywhere in the world. Bradley Parscale acknowledges and agrees that Buyer will expend substantial time, talent, effort and money in marketing, promoting, managing, selling and otherwise exploiting the businesses Buyer and the Surviving Company operate, in part by virtue of Buyer's acquisition of Parscale pursuant to this Agreement, that the Parscale Shareholder is the only shareholder of Parscale, that he is receiving a substantial benefit from the transactions contemplated hereunder and that the benefit received by Buyer and the Parscale Shareholder in agreeing to be bound by this Section 2.1 are a material part of the consideration for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Parties recognize that this Section 2,1 contains conditions, covenants, and time limitations that are reasonably required for the protection of the business of the Surviving Company and Buyer. If any limitation, covenant or condition shall be deemed to be unreasonable and unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, then this Section 2.1 shall thereupon be deemed to be amended to provide modification of such limitation, covenant and/or condition to such extent as the court or arbitrator (as applicable) shall find to be reasonable and such modification shall not affect the remainder of this Agreement. The Parscale Shareholder acknowledges that, in the event the Parscale Shareholder breaches this Agreement, money damages will not be adequate to compensate Buyer for the loss occasioned by such breach. The Parscale Shareholder therefore consents, in the event of such a breach, to the granting of injunctive or other equitable relief against the Parscale Shareholder by any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Bradley Parscale may compete with Buyer if the work contracted by Bradley Parscale is subsequently sub-contracted at a market rate to Buyer or a subsidiary company owned by Buyer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the maximum aggregate liability of the Parscale Shareholder pursuant to this Section shall be no more than $1,000,000.
21 |
8.2 Indemnification by Buyer . Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Parscale Shareholder and from, or relating to any misrepresentation of a material fact or omission to disclose a material fact made by the Buyer in this Agreement, in any exhibits to this Agreement or in any other document furnished or to be furnished by the Buyer under this Agreement, or any breach of, or failure by Buyer to perform, any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or in any exhibit or other document furnished or to be furnished by Buyer under this Agreement, provided however and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the maximum aggregate liability of the Buyer pursuant to this Section shall be no more than $1,000,000.
8.3 Procedure for Indemnification Claims .
(a) Whenever any parties become aware that a claim (an "Underlying Claim") has arisen entitling them to seek indemnification under Section 8 of this Agreement, such parties (the "Indemnified Parties") shall promptly send a notice ("Notice") to the parties liable for such indemnification (the "Indemnifying Parties") of the right to indemnification (the "Indemnity Claim"); provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Parties will relieve the Indemnifying Parties from liability under this Agreement with respect to such Indemnity Claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to notify the Indemnifying Parties results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Parties of rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Parties with respect to the Underlying Claim. Any Notice pursuant to this Section 8.3(a) shall set forth in reasonable detail, to the extent then available, the basis for such Indemnity Claim and an estimate of the amount of damages arising therefore.
(b) If an Indemnity Claim does not result from or arise in connection with any Underlying Claim or legal proceedings by a third party, the Indemnifying Parties will have thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of the Notice to issue a written response to the Indemnified Parties, indicating the Indemnifying Parties' intention to either (i) contest the Indemnity Claim or (ii) accept the Indemnity Claim as valid. The Indemnifying Parties' failure to provide such a written response within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed to be an acceptance of the Indemnity Claim as valid. In the event that an Indemnity Claim is accepted as valid, the Indemnifying Parties shall, within fifteen (15) business days thereafter, pay Losses incurred by the Indemnified Parties in respect of the Underlying Claim in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts specified by the Indemnified Parties. To the extent appropriate, payments for indemnifiable Losses made pursuant to this Agreement will be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price.
22 |
(c) In the event an Indemnity Claim results from or arises in connection with any Underlying Claim or legal proceedings by a third party, the Indemnifying Parties shall have fifteen (15) calendar days following receipt of the Notice to send a Notice to the Indemnified Parties of their election to, at their sole cost and expense, assume the defense of any such Underlying Claim or legal proceeding; provided that such Notice of election shall contain a confirmation by the Indemnifying Parties of their obligation to hold harmless the Indemnified Parties with respect to Losses arising from such Underlying Claim. The failure by the Indemnifying Parties to elect to assume the defense of any such Underlying Claim within such fifteen (15) day period shall entitle the Indemnified Parties to undertake control of the defense of the Underlying Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Parties in such manner as the Indemnified Parties may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling the Underlying Claim. The parties controlling the defense of the Underlying Claim shall not, however, settle or compromise such Underlying Claim without the prior written consent of the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The non-controlling parties shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with their own counsel and at their own expense.
(d) The Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Parties will cooperate reasonably, fully and in good faith with each other, at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Parties subject to the last sentence of Section 8.3(c) of this Agreement, in connection with the defense, compromise or settlement of any Underlying Claim including, without limitation, by making available to the other parties all pertinent information and witnesses within their reasonable control.
(e) Basket; Limitations on Indemnification; Calculation of Losses.
(i) | Basket. A Buyer Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to make a claim for indemnification for any Losses arising out of Section 8.1 until the aggregate amount of all claims for Losses which arise out of Section 8.1 exceeds ten thousand dollars ($10,000) (the "Basket"). In the event the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds the Basket, then the Seller shall indemnify such Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to the amount of all Losses exceeding the amount of the Basket. |
(ii) | Seller's and Parscale Shareholder Cap. The maximum aggregate liability of the Seller and Parscale Shareholder, collectively, under Section 8.1 for all Losses shall be an amount equal to the Purchase Price actually received by such Seller or Parscale Shareholder (the "Seller's Cap"). |
(iii) | Exclusions from the Basket and Seller's Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Losses shall not be subject to the provisions of the Basket and the Seller's Cap and a Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to such Losses in accordance with this Article 9 as though the Basket and the Seller's Cap were not a part of this Agreement: |
23 |
(1) | Losses relating to, caused by or resulting from the breach of any of the Seller's and/or Parscale Shareholder’s representations and warranties as a result of fraud or intentional misrepresentation; and |
(2) | Losses relating to, caused by or resulting from the breach of any ongoing covenant of the Seller or Parscale Shareholder. |
8.4 Recovery Losses for which a Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled to recover pursuant to this Article shall be offset by the pro rata cancellation of Series D Preferred Shares held by the Parscale Shareholder at the rate of $100.00 per share, if any, against any Seller or Parscale Shareholder in accordance with this Section. Except for specific performance and injunctive relief, the indemnification obligations and procedures set forth in this Section shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for liabilities arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
9. Injunctive Relief .
9.1 Damages Inadequate . Each party acknowledges that it would be impossible to measure in money the damages to the other party if there is a failure to comply with any covenants and provisions of this Agreement, and agrees that in the event of any breach of any covenant or provision, the other party to this Agreement will not have an adequate remedy at law.
9.2 Injunctive Relief . It is therefore agreed that the other party to this Agreement who is entitled to the benefit of the covenants and provisions of this Agreement which have been breached, in addition to any other rights or remedies which they may have, will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief to enforce such covenants and provisions, and that in the event that any such action or proceeding is brought in equity to enforce them, the defaulting or breaching party will not urge a defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.
10. Further Assurances .
Following the Closing, the Parscale Shareholders and Seller shall furnish to Buyer such instruments and other documents as Buyer may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out or evidencing the transactions contemplated hereby.
11. Fees and Expenses .
Each party hereto shall pay all fees, costs and expenses that it incurs in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and in carrying out the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, all fees and expenses of its counsel and accountant).
24 |
12. Waivers .
If any party at any time waives any rights hereunder resulting from any breach by the other party of any of the provisions of this Agreement, such waiver is not to be construed as a continuing waiver of other breaches of the same or other provisions of this Agreement. Resort to any remedies referred to herein will not be construed as a waiver of any other rights and remedies to which such party is entitled under this Agreement or otherwise.
13. Successors and Assigns .
Each covenant and representation of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of the Parties, their personal representatives, assigns and other successors in interest.
14. Entire and Sole Agreement .
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all other agreements, representations, warranties, statements, promises and undertakings, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a written agreement signed by all Parties to this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that as of the date of the execution of this Agreement, any and all other agreements, either written or verbal, regarding the substance of this Agreement will be terminated and be of no further force or effect.
15. Governing Law .
This Agreement will be governed by the laws of California without giving effect to applicable conflict of law provisions. With respect to any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each party agrees that it will be filed in and heard by the state or federal courts with jurisdiction to hear such suits located in Santa Barbara County, California.
16. Counterparts .
This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts will be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts will constitute but one and the same instrument.
17. Assignment .
Except in the case of an affiliate of Buyer, this Agreement may not be assignable by any party without prior written consent of the other Parties.
18. Remedies .
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, none of the remedies set forth in this Agreement are intended to be exclusive, and each party will have all other remedies now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. The election of any one or more remedies will not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies.
25 |
19. Section Headings .
The section headings in this Agreement are included for convenience only, are not a part of this Agreement and will not be used in construing it.
20. Severability .
In the event that any provision or any part of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision or part of this Agreement.
21. Notices .
Each notice or other communication hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given on the earlier of (i) the date on which such notice or other communication is actually received by the intended recipient thereof, or (ii) the date five (5) days after the date such notice or other communication is mailed by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid) to the intended recipient at the following address (or at such other address as the intended recipient will have specified in a written notice given to the other Parties hereto):

7.3 Procedure for Indemnification Claims .
(a) Whenever any parties become aware that a claim (an “Underlying Claim”) has arisen entitling them to seek indemnification under Section 7 of this Agreement, such parties (the “Indemnified Parties”) shall promptly send a notice (“Notice”) to the parties liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Parties”) of the right to indemnification (the “Indemnity Claim”); provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Parties will relieve the Indemnifying Parties from liability under this Agreement with respect to such Indemnity Claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to notify the Indemnifying Parties results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Parties of rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Parties with respect to the Underlying Claim. Any Notice pursuant to this Section 73(a) shall set forth in reasonable detail, to the extent then available, the basis for such Indemnity Claim and an estimate of the amount of damages arising therefore.
(b) If an Indemnity Claim does not result from or arise in connection with any Underlying Claim or legal proceedings by a third party, the Indemnifying Parties will have thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of the Notice to issue a written response to the Indemnified Parties, indicating the Indemnifying Parties’ intention to either (i) contest the Indemnity Claim or (ii) accept the Indemnity Claim as valid. The Indemnifying Parties’ failure to provide such a written response within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed to be an acceptance of the Indemnity Claim as valid. In the event that an Indemnity Claim is accepted as valid, the Indemnifying Parties shall, within fifteen (15) business days thereafter, pay Losses incurred by the Indemnified Parties in respect of the Underlying Claim in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts specified by the Indemnified Parties. To the extent appropriate, payments for indemnifiable Losses made pursuant to this Agreement will be treated as adjustments to the Consideration.
(c) In the event an Indemnity Claim results from or arises in connection with any Underlying Claim or legal proceedings by a third party, the Indemnifying Parties shall have fifteen (15) calendar days following receipt of the Notice to send a Notice to the Indemnified Parties of their election to, at their sole cost and expense, assume the defense of any such Underlying Claim or legal proceeding; provided that such Notice of election shall contain a confirmation by the Indemnifying Parties of their obligation to hold harmless the Indemnified Parties with respect to Losses arising from such Underlying Claim. The failure by the Indemnifying Parties to elect to assume the defense of any such Underlying Claim within such fifteen (15) day period shall entitle the Indemnified Parties to undertake control of the defense of the Underlying Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Parties in such manner as the Indemnified Parties may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling the Underlying Claim. The parties controlling the defense of the Underlying Claim shall not, however, settle or compromise such Underlying Claim without the prior written consent of the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The non-controlling parties shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with their own counsel and at their own expense.
16 |
(d) The Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Parties will cooperate reasonably, fully and in good faith with each other, at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Parties subject to the last sentence of Section 7.3(c) of this Agreement, in connection with the defense, compromise or settlement of any Underlying Claim including, without limitation, by making available to the other parties all pertinent information and witnesses within their reasonable control.
(e) Basket; Limitations on Indemnification; Calculation of Losses.
(i) | Basket. A Buyer Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to make a claim for indemnification for any Losses arising out of Section 7.1 until the aggregate amount of all claims for Losses which arise out of Section 7.1 exceeds ten thousand dollars ($10,000) (the “Basket”). In the event the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds the Basket, then the Seller shall indemnify such Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to the amount of all Losses exceeding the amount of the Basket. |
(ii) | Seller’s and Parscale Media Cap. The maximum aggregate liability of the Seller and Parscale Media, collectively, under this Section for all Losses shall be an amount equal to the Consideration (the “Seller’s Cap”). |
(iii) | Exclusions from the Basket and Seller’s Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Losses shall not be subject to the provisions of the Basket and the Seller’s Cap and a Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to such Losses in accordance with this Article as though the Basket and the Seller’s Cap were not a part of this Agreement: |
(1) Losses relating to, caused by or resulting from the breach of any of the Seller’s and/or Parscale Media’s representations and warranties as a result of fraud or intentional misrepresentation; and
(2) Losses relating to, caused by or resulting from the breach of any ongoing covenant of the Seller or Parscale Media.
8. Injunctive Relief .
8.1 Damages Inadequate . Each party acknowledges that it would be impossible to measure in money the damages to the other party if there is a failure to comply with any covenants and provisions of this Agreement, and agrees that in the event of any breach of any covenant or provision, the other party to this Agreement will not have an adequate remedy at law.
17 |
8.2 Injunctive Relief . It is therefore agreed that the other party to this Agreement who is entitled to the benefit of the covenants and provisions of this Agreement which have been breached, in addition to any other rights or remedies which they may have, will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief to enforce such covenants and provisions, and that in the event that any such action or proceeding is brought in equity to enforce them, the defaulting or breaching party will not urge a defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.
9. Further Assurances .
Following the Closing, Parscale and Seller shall furnish to Buyer such instruments and other documents as Buyer may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out or evidencing the transactions contemplated hereby.
10. Fees and Expenses .
Each party hereto shall pay all fees, costs and expenses that it incurs in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and in carrying out the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, all fees and expenses of its counsel and accountant).
11. Waivers .
If any party at any time waives any rights hereunder resulting from any breach by the other party of any of the provisions of this Agreement, such waiver is not to be construed as a continuing waiver of other breaches of the same or other provisions of this Agreement. Resort to any remedies referred to herein will not be construed as a waiver of any other rights and remedies to which such party is entitled under this Agreement or otherwise.
12. Successors and Assigns .
Each covenant and representation of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of the Parties, their personal representatives, assigns and other successors in interest.
13. Entire and Sole Agreement .
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all other agreements, representations, warranties, statements, promises and undertakings, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a written agreement signed by all Parties to this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that as of the date of the execution of this Agreement, any and all other agreements, either written or verbal, regarding the substance of this Agreement will be terminated and be of no further force or effect.
18 |
14. Governing Law .
This Agreement will be governed by the laws of California without giving effect to applicable conflict of law provisions. With respect to any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each party agrees that it will be filed in and heard by the state or federal courts with jurisdiction to hear such suits located in Santa Barbara County, California.
15. Counterparts .
This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts will be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts will constitute but one and the same instrument.
16. Assignment .
Except in the case of an affiliate of Buyer, this Agreement may not be assignable by any party without prior written consent of the other Parties.
17. Remedies .
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, none of the remedies set forth in this Agreement are intended to be exclusive, and each party will have all other remedies now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. The election of any one or more remedies will not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies.
18. Section Headings .
The section headings in this Agreement are included for convenience only, are not a part of this Agreement and will not be used in construing it.
19. Severability .
In the event that any provision or any part of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision or part of this Agreement.

RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS OF
SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK
Pursuant to Section 78.1955 of the
Nevada Revised Statutes
The undersigned, Andrew Van Noy, does hereby certify that:
1. He is the President and Chief Executive Officer, of CloudCommerce, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Corporation ” or the “ Company ”).
2. The Corporation is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001, of which 10,000 shave been designated Series A Preferred Stock, 25,000 have been designated as Series B Preferred Stock and 25,000 have been designated as Series C Preferred Stock.
3. The following resolutions were duly adopted by the board of directors of the Corporation (the “ Board of Directors ”):
WHEREAS, the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation provides for a class of its authorized stock known as preferred stock, consisting of 5,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value per share, issuable from time to time in one or more series;
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is authorized to fix the dividend rights, dividend rate, voting rights, conversion rights, rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences of any wholly unissued series of preferred stock and the number of shares constituting any Series D and the designation thereof, of any of them; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Board of Directors, pursuant to its authority as aforesaid, to fix the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters relating to a series of the preferred stock, which shall consist of up to 90,000 shares of the preferred stock which the Corporation has the authority to issue, as follows:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors does hereby provide for the issuance of a series of preferred stock for cash or exchange of other securities, rights or property and does hereby fix and determine the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters relating to such series of preferred stock as follows:
TERMS OF PREFERRED STOCK
This series of the Corporation’s Preferred Stock shall be designated “Series D Preferred Stock”. The number of shares constituting the Series D Preferred Stock shall be Ninety Thousand (90,000) shares. The total face value of this entire series is Nine Million Dollars ($9,000,000). Each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall have a stated face value of One Hundred dollars ($100) (the "Stated Value"). Each one (1) share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into Two Thousand Five Hundred (2,500) shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, as adjusted in accordance with Section 3 below (the “Conversion Ratio”). The Series D Preferred Stock shall have the rights, preferences and privileges set forth below.
Section 1. Dividends . Each share of outstanding Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a dividend, paid quarterly, out of any assets of the Corporation legally available therefore, at the amount equal to: (1/90,000) x (5% of the Adjusted Gross Revenue) of the Corporation’s subsidiary, Parscale Digital, Inc. (the “Subject Subsidiary”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation. Adjusted Gross Revenue, shall mean the top line gross revenue of Subject Subsidiary, as calculated under GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) less any reselling revenue attributed to third party advertising products or service, such as, but not limited to, search engine keyword campaign fees, social media campaign fees, radio or television advertising fees, and the like. The dividends shall be paid based on the quarterly reviewed, or annually audited financial statements of Subject Subsidiary’s by the Corporation’s independent audit firm. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the dividends provided for in this Section are junior to the Company’s outstanding shares of Series A, B, and C preferred stock and no dividends will be paid pursuant to this Section unless any required dividends are paid to the outstanding Series A, B, and/or C preferred stock
If the Board of Directors shall elect to make further distribution of dividends after all dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock, as required by this Section 1, shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment to holders of the Series D Preferred Stock, such dividends shall be made equally to all outstanding shares, preferred and common on an as-if converted basis.
Section 2. Liquidation Preference . In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntarily or involuntarily (a “Liquidation Event”), the holder of each outstanding share of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders upon such liquidation, whether such assets are capital or surplus of any nature, an amount equal to the Stated Value for each such share of the Series D Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any combinations, consolidations, stock distributions or stock dividends with respect to such shares), plus all dividends, if any, declared and unpaid thereon as of the date of such distribution, before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of the Common Stock. For avoidance of doubt, the Series D Preferred Stock shall be junior in liquidation to the Company’s outstanding Series A, B and C preferred stock and as such no amounts will be paid to the Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section unless any required amounts to be paid in the event of a Liquidation Event are paid to the outstanding Series A, B and C preferred stock
If the assets to be distributed pursuant to Section 2 above to the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the receipt by such holders of the full preferential amounts aforesaid, then all such assets shall be distributed among such holders of Series D Preferred Stock ratably in accordance with the number of such shares held by each such holder.
2 |
Section 3. Conversion . The Series D Preferred Stock shall be subject to conversion into Common Stock upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) | Timing of Conversion . The shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by any holder may be converted into shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock at any time upon ninety (90) days’ written notice from the holder of the shares to be converted to the Company. |
(b) | Mechanics of Conversion . As a condition to any conversion of shares of the Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 3(a) above, the holder of the shares to be converted shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the principal office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for such stock, and shall deliver a written notice to the Secretary of the Corporation at the Corporation's principal office stating the number of such shares of the Series D Preferred Stock to be converted (the “Conversion Notice”). Promptly thereafter, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder a certificate for the number of shares of the Common Stock to which such holder shall be thereby entitled. In addition, if less than all the shares represented by such certificate(s) are surrendered for conversion, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder a new certificate for the balance of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock not so converted. The effective date of such conversion shall be the close of business on the later of the date which is ninety (90) days from the date on which a proper notice is received by the Secretary of the Corporation or ninety (90) days from the date the duly endorsed certificate(s) is (are) received by the Corporation or the transfer agent, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares on such effective date. |
(c) | Conversion Ratio. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into Two Thousand Five Hundred (2,500) shares of the Corporation’s fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Ratio”), as adjusted pursuant to Section 3 |
(d) | Adjustment to Conversion Ratio for Stock Dividends, Consolidations and Subdivisions . |
In case the Corporation at any time after the first issuance of a share of the Series D Preferred Stock shall declare or pay on the Common Stock any dividend in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a greater number of shares of the Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend payable in shares of the Common Stock), or shall combine or consolidate the outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a lesser number of shares of the Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), then, and in each such case, the Conversion Ratio (as previously adjusted) in effect immediately prior to such declaration, payment, subdivision, combination or consolidation shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such declaration, payment, subdivision, combination or consolidation, be proportionately adjusted.
3 |
(e) | Adjustments for Reclassifications and Certain Reorganizations . In case the Corporation at any time after the first issuance of a share of the Series D Preferred Stock shall reclassify or otherwise change the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise, or shall consolidate with or merge with or into any other corporation where the Corporation is not the surviving corporation but not otherwise, then, and in each such case, each outstanding share of the Series D Preferred Stock shall, immediately after the effectiveness of such reclassification, other change, consolidation or merger, be convertible into the type and amount of stock and other securities or property which the holder of that number of shares of the Common Stock into which such share of the Series D Preferred Stock would have been convertible before the effectiveness of such reclassification, other change, consolidation or merger would be entitled to receive in respect of such shares of the Common Stock as the result of such reclassification, other change, consolidation or merger. |
(f) | Fractional Shares . No fractional shares of the Common Stock shall be issuable upon the conversion of shares of the Series D Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall pay the cash equivalent of any fractional share upon such conversion. |
(g) | Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion . The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of the Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of the Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as is necessary to increase its authorized by unissued shares of the Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose. |
(h) | Rule 144. With respect to the public resale of the shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, the holder shall at all times be subject to the restrictions, conditions and requirements applicable to an affiliate of the Corporation, as described in Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”), even if the holder or its assignees and successors are no longer affiliates (as such term is defined under Rule 144) of the Corporation. |
Section 4. Notices . Any notice required by the provisions of this Certificate of Designation to be given to holders of shares of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be deemed given three (3) days following the date on which mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to such holder at the address last appearing on the books of the Corporation for such holder or given by such holder to the Corporation for the purpose of notice, or if no such address appears or is so given, at the principal office of the Corporation, or upon personal delivery to the aforementioned address.
Section 5. Voting Rights . Except as otherwise required by law, and subject to Section 7 below, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights.
4 |
Section 6. Protective Provisions . So long as any shares of the Series D Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock voting together as a class, alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock so as to affect materially and adversely such shares
Section 7. Status of Converted Stock . In the event any shares of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be converted pursuant to Section 3 above, the Series D Preferred Stock so converted shall be cancelled and shall revert to the Corporation's authorized but unissued Preferred Stock.
Section 8. Transferability . The Series D Preferred Stock shall not be transferable, provided that in the event of the death of a holder of shares of the Series D Preferred Stock, such shares may be transferred to the heirs or estate of such person.
Section 9. Redemption . To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Corporation may, at its sole discretion, redeem any or all shares of the then outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock after the seventh anniversary of the original issuance date (the “Redemption Date”).
(a) | The Corporation shall effect any such redemption by paying in cash in exchange for the shares of Series D Preferred to be redeemed a sum equal to One Hundred ($100) per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like) plus accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to such shares. The total amount to be paid for the Series D Preferred is hereinafter referred to as the “Redemption Price”, and the date of such payment is hereinafter referred to as the “Redemption Date.” At least thirty (30) days but no more than sixty (60) days prior to a Redemption Date, the Corporation shall send a notice (a “Redemption Notice”) to all holder(s) of Series D Preferred to be redeemed setting forth (A) the Redemption Price for the shares to be redeemed; and (B) the place at which such holders may obtain payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender of their share certificates. Within three (3) days of receiving a Redemption Notice, holder shall elect to either (a) accept cash payment or (b) convert any part of the Series D Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, pursuant to Section 3 above. If the Corporation does not have sufficient funds legally available to redeem all shares to be redeemed at the Redemption Date, then it shall redeem such shares pro rata (based on the portion of the aggregate Redemption Price payable to them) to the extent possible and shall redeem the remaining shares to be redeemed as soon as sufficient funds are legally available, but no longer than ninety (90) days. |
(b) | On or after a Redemption Date, each holder of shares of Series D Preferred to be redeemed shall surrender such holder’s certificates representing such shares to the Corporation in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price of such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled. In the event less than all the shares represented by such certificates are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares. From and after such Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment of the Redemption Price or the Corporation is unable to pay the Redemption Price due to not having sufficient legally available funds, all rights of the holder of such shares as holder of Series D Preferred (except the right to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their certificates), shall cease and terminate with respect to such shares; provided that in the event that shares of Series D Preferred are not redeemed due to a default in payment by the Corporation or because the Corporation does not have sufficient legally available funds, such shares of Series D Preferred shall remain outstanding and shall be entitled to all of the rights and preferences provided herein. |
5 |
(c) | The conversion rights (as set forth in Section 3) for such Series D Preferred Stock shall terminate at the close of business on the fifth (5th) day preceding the Redemption Date, unless default is made in payment of the Redemption Price. |
RESOLVED, FURTHER, that the Chairman, the president or any vice-president, and the secretary or any assistant secretary, of the Corporation be and they hereby are authorized and directed to prepare and file this Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations in accordance with the foregoing resolution and the provisions of Nevada law.

OF
CLOUDCOMMERCE, INC.
1. The name of the corporation is CloudCommerce, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”).
2. By resolution of the board of directors pursuant to a provision in the articles of incorporation of the Corporation, this certificate establishes the following regarding the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of the following class or series of stock.
This series of the Corporation’s Preferred Stock shall be designated "Series C Preferred Stock". The number of shares constituting the Series C Preferred Stock shall be Twenty Five Thousand (25,000) shares. The total face value of this entire series is Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000.00). Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall have a stated face value of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) (“Share Value”), and is convertible into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) of the Corporation in accordance with Section 3 below. The Series C Preferred Stock shall have the rights, preferences and privileges set forth below:
Section 1. Dividends . The holders of outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock (the “Holders”) shall be entitled to receive dividends pari passu with the holders of Common Stock, except upon a liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Corporation, as provided below in Section 2 of this Certificate. Such dividends shall be paid equally to all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Common Stock, on an as-if-converted basis with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock. The right to such dividend on the Series C Preferred Stock shall be cumulative. At the sole option of the Holder, dividends may be converted into Common Stock at the Conversion Price in accordance with Section 3 below. In the event that the Corporation declares a stock dividend, the number of dividend shares distributed to Holder shall not exceed the limits set forth in Section 3(c) below, Limitations of Conversions, and the remaining balance of dividend shares shall accrue on the books on the Corporation in favor of the Holders. The Holders may at any time request the distribution of accrued dividend shares, subject to the limitations of Section 3(c) below, by sending a written notice to the Corporation.
Section 2. Liquidation Preference . In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, the holder of each outstanding share of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders upon such liquidation, whether such assets are capital or surplus of any nature, an amount equal to One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) for each such share of the Series C Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any combinations, consolidations, stock distributions or stock dividends with respect to such shares), plus all dividends, if any, declared and unpaid thereon as of the date of such distribution, before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of the Common Stock, and, after such payment, the remaining assets of the Corporation shall be distributed to the holders of Common Stock.
(a) If the assets to be distributed pursuant to this Section 2 to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the receipt by such holders of the full preferential amounts aforesaid, then all of such assets shall be distributed among such holders of Series C Preferred Stock ratably in accordance with the number of such shares then held by each such holder.
(b) The sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets, any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the stockholders of the Corporation immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, own less than fifty percent (50%) of the Corporation’s voting power immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization, or any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Corporation is a party in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Corporation’s voting power is transferred, excluding any consolidation or merger effected exclusively to change the domicile of the Corporation, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up within the meaning of this Section 2 .
Section 3. Conversion . The Series C Preferred Stock shall be subject to conversion into Common Stock upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) | Timing and Mechanics of Conversion . |
The Holder has the right, at any time, at its election, to convert shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock. The conversion price shall be One Cent ($0.01) (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustments described in Section 3. The number of shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion of one share of Series C Preferred Stock equals the Share Value divided by the Conversion Price. A conversion notice (the “Conversion Notice”) may be delivered to Corporation by method of Holder’s choice (including but not limited to email, facsimile, mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery), and all conversions shall be cashless and not require further payment from the Holder. If no objection is delivered from the Corporation to the Holder, with respect to any variable or calculation reflected in the Conversion Notice within 24 hours of delivery of the Conversion Notice, the Corporation shall have been thereafter deemed to have irrevocably confirmed and irrevocably ratified such notice of conversion and waived any objection thereto. The Corporation shall deliver the shares of Common Stock from any conversion to the Holder (in any name directed by the Holder) within three (3) business days of Conversion Notice delivery. If the Corporation is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, then upon request of the Holder and provided that the shares to be issued are eligible for transfer under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or are effectively registered under the Securities Act, the Corporation shall cause its transfer agent to electronically issue the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder through the DTC Direct Registration System (“DRS”). If the Corporation is not participating in the DTC FAST program, then the Corporation agrees in good faith to apply and cause the approval for participation in the DTC FAST program.

(b) | Conversion Delays . If Corporation fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in this Section 3 , then for each conversion, in the event that shares are not delivered by the fourth business day (inclusive of the day of conversion), a penalty of $1,500 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of the conversion) until share delivery is made; and such penalty may be converted into Common Stock at the Conversion Price or payable in cash, at the sole option of the Holder (under the Holder’s and the Corporation’s expectations that any penalty amounts shall tack back to the original date of the issuance of Series C Preferred Stock, consistent with applicable securities laws). |
(c) | Limitation of Conversions . In no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any Series C Preferred Stock, such that upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of this Series C Preferred Stock or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Series C Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days prior notice to the Corporation, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). |
3 |
(d) | Adjustment to Conversion Price for Stock Dividends, Consolidations and Subdivisions . In case the Corporation at any time after the first issuance of a share of the Series C Preferred Stock shall declare or pay on the Common Stock any dividend in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a greater number of shares of the Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend payable in shares of the Common Stock), or shall combine or consolidate the outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a lesser number of shares of the Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price (as previously adjusted) in effect immediately prior to such declaration, payment, subdivision, combination or consolidation shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such declaration, payment, subdivision, combination or consolidation, be proportionately adjusted. |
(e) | Adjustments for Reclassifications and Certain Reorganizations . In case the Corporation at any time after the first issuance of a share of the Series C Preferred Stock shall reclassify or otherwise change the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise, or shall consolidate with or merge with or into any other corporation where the Corporation is not the surviving corporation but not otherwise, then, and in each such case, each outstanding share of the Series C Preferred Stock shall, immediately after the effectiveness of such reclassification, other change, consolidation or merger, be convertible into the type and amount of stock and other securities or property which the holder of that number of shares of the Common Stock into which such share of the Series C Preferred Stock would have been convertible before the effectiveness of such reclassification, other change, consolidation or merger would be entitled to receive in respect of such shares of the Common Stock as the result of such reclassification, other change, consolidation or merger. |
(f) | Fractional Shares . No fractional shares of the Common Stock shall be issuable upon the conversion of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall pay the cash equivalent of any fractional share upon such conversion. |
(g) | Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion . The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of the Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of the Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as is necessary to increase its authorized by unissued shares of the Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose. |

(CLWD) (the “Company”), a global provider of advanced digital marketing and e-commerce services to leading brands, today announced the execution of a merger agreement under which the Company has acquired 100% of Parscale Creative, Inc. (“Parscale Creative”), a rapidly growing provider of enterprise digital marketing services.
Parscale Creative is comprised of certain assets spun out of Giles-Parscale, Inc. , a San Antonio-based firm owned by Brad Parscale and Jill Giles. After closing the transaction today, Parscale Creative was renamed Parscale Digital, Inc. (“Parscale”).
Mr. Parscale, will serve on the CloudCommerce Board of Directors and as a consultant to Parscale to provide strategy, vision and leadership. He will continue to provide digital marketing services to his growing base of political clients through his own separate company. Ms. Giles will serve as an advisor to CloudCommerce and as Creative Director of Parscale and focus on growing the value of its enterprise customers.
Founded by Jill Giles and Brad Parscale in 2011, Giles-Parscale fuses quality digital and experiential design with leading-edge web development and digital marketing strategies, a rare combination of design experience and technical expertise. The firm has earned an exceptional reputation for creating highly effective experiential marketing solutions for clients that range from Universal Studios and the San Antonio River Walk to UTSA and the Stock Show & Rodeo.
Giles-Parscale was responsible for all the digital marketing activities of the Donald J. Trump for President campaign and online fundraising efforts. In 2016, Mr. Parscale was officially named Digital Media Director for the Donald J. Trump for President campaign.
Mr. Parscale began working for the Donald J. Trump Organization in 2011, providing website development, design and digital media strategy for Trump International Realty, and subsequently working on projects for Trump Winery and the Eric Trump Foundation.
The consideration for the acquisition of Parscale Creative was $9,000,000 paid in the form of ninety thousand (90,000) shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, with a stated value of $100 per share. Each one (1) share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into two thousand five hundred (2,500) shares of the Company’s common stock.
Today, CloudCommerce also entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a second company – Parscale Media, LLC (Parscale Media) – a managed hosting solutions provider owned by Mr. Parscale. For over a decade, Parscale Media has provided its customers with advanced managed hosting solutions. The technical experience required to architect, build and manage rapidly scaling websites with increasing demand for security has been their focus since their inception. Parscale Media has over 500 customers, many of which will require digital marketing services from Parscale.
Under the supervision of Mr. Parscale, CloudCommerce will manage the day-to-day operations of Parscale Media until the transaction closes. After the closing, it is anticipated that Mr. Parscale will continue to provide valuable support to CloudCommerce and the hosting business. The closing of this transaction is subject to CloudCommerce’s satisfactory review of the operations and audit of financial and corporate records.
These transactions will mark the second and third acquisitions in CloudCommerce’s previously announced growth-by-acquisition strategy. The strategy is aimed at providing comprehensive digital solutions for its customers and strengthening the company’s position and footprint in the industry.
“These acquisitions are transformational for our company,” said Andrew Van Noy, CEO of CloudCommerce, Inc. “Adding these businesses allows us to provide end-to-end holistic and digital marketing solutions for our customers, and brings us an experienced team that will help drive significant future growth. Brad and Jill have done a terrific job creating a trusted brand in the digital marketing and web solutions industry, and we feel very privileged to be working with them.”
Mr. Parscale commented, “I’m very excited for my staff and clients to have this great opportunity to take Parscale to even new heights. For nearly two decades my companies have helped clients meet their marketing and business goals. This merger brings even more possibilities and takes us from not just being the best digital and creative shop in San Antonio but now competitive across the entire nation.”
In addition to maximizing internal growth, CloudCommerce intends to continue seeking out additional companies to acquire in an effort to form a global family of digital services and solutions to help leading brands successfully conduct business in the cloud.
