Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On August 23, 2024, CareCloud, Inc. (the “Company”) convened and adjourned a special meeting of the Series A Preferred Shareholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, a total of 2,987,839 shares, or 66.01% of the shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding as of July 5, 2024, which is the record date for the Special Meeting, were represented by proxy.
At the Special Meeting, the Company’s Series A Preferred Shareholders considered two proposals, each of which is set forth below and described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 8, 2024 and revised on August 5, 2024.
Proposal No. 1: Approve an amendment to our Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of 11% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock Certificate”), in the form set forth in Appendix A (the “Amendment”), which will be effective when and if the Board files the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Preferred Stock Proposal”).
Proposal No. 2: Approve one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Preferred Stock Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”).
As there were insufficient votes to approve the Preferred Stock Proposal at the time of the Special Meeting, the sole item of business presented to the Series A Preferred Shareholders for consideration at the Special Meeting was a vote on the Adjournment Proposal. The voting results for the Adjournment Proposal are set forth below.
| For | Against | Abstain | ||
| 2,658,360 | 272,374 | 57,105 |
In accordance with the authority granted pursuant to the Adjournment Proposal, the Special Meeting was adjourned with respect to the Preferred Stock Proposal to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Preferred Stock Proposal. As announced at the Special Meeting, the Special Meeting will reconvene on September 11, 2024 at 11:00 am Eastern Time.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Exhibit 99.1
Support for Preferred Stock Proposal Hits a New High of 89%, Special Meeting Scheduled for September 11th
SOMERSET, N.J., August 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CareCloud, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CCLD, CCLDO, CCLDP), a leader in healthcare technology solutions for medical practices and health systems nationwide, today announced that approximately 89% of the shares represented by proxies returned to-date for the Series A Preferred Stock special meeting (“Special Meeting”) have indicated that they are voting “FOR” the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of its Series A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock Proposal”). Due to the significantly narrowed gap for passage of the Preferred Stock Proposal, the Special Meeting will be reconvened on Wednesday, September 11, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
“We are very pleased to see the groundswell of support for our Preferred Stock Proposal,” said Stephen Snyder, President of CareCloud. “With a favorable vote recommendation from proxy vote advisor Glass Lewis, the approval of nearly 9 out of 10 responding shareholders, and having received 87.8% of the total 3.02 million required proxy votes, we believe that we are very near to achieving approval of the Preferred Stock Proposal.”
Investors wishing to submit their voting instructions can do so now by calling 844-874-6164, visiting www.aalvote.com/ccld, or mailing back their completed proxy card sent by CareCloud. Anyone who would rather attend the Special Meeting on September 11th in person can do so by following the instructions contained in the Definitive Proxy materials.
If the Preferred Stock Proposal is ultimately approved, holders of Series A Preferred Stock would receive similar change of control protections to those afforded to holders of the Company’s Series B 8.75% Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). Also, the dividend of Series A Preferred Stock would mirror that of the Series B Preferred Stock, and the Company would, going forward, have the right to exchange the shares of Series A Preferred Stock for common stock at the liquidation preference value of $25/share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
While the Company convened a Special Meeting of the holders of its Series A Preferred Stock on August 23, 2024, during which the holders approved a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to enable management to continue soliciting proxies, the Company, while optimistic, cannot predict future proxy or voting results, which could be more or less favorable than the trends seen to date. Any shares that are not voted will be deemed “no” votes, making it more difficult for the Company to achieve the minimum two-thirds vote in favor of the Preferred Stock Proposal.
The information contained in this press release is a summary of certain relevant portions of the Definitive Proxy Statement and other materials filed with the SEC. It is important that Series A Preferred Shareholders review the entirety of the filings, which are available on the SEC’s website and on https://ir.carecloud.com/series-a-special-proxy.
