(Nasdaq:ICLD), a single-source provider of end-to-end IT and telecom solutions to the service provider and corporate enterprise markets through cloud platforms and professional services, announced today that using proceeds received as a result of investors exercising warrants issued in its recent public offering, and with the consent of its senior lender, InterCloud has been able to redeem and cancel $3 million worth of its Series F Preferred Stock.
The redemption also eliminates the potential conversion of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock into over 300,000 shares of common stock, based upon current price levels.

TNS, Inc. revenues for the twelve month period following its acquisition by InterCloud have increased by approximately 60%, from $3.1 million to $4.9 million, with a corresponding increase in net income of $0.8 million to $1.0 million, from $0.2 million for the twelve month period ended September 30, 2012.
