CLS Holdings plc

("CLS", the "Group", the "Company")

announces the acquisition of 9 Prescot Street, London E1

CLS announces that it has exchanged contracts to acquire 9 Prescot Street, London E1 for £53.85 million excluding costs.

The freehold property comprises 96,948 sq ft (9,007 sqm) of multi-let office space over seven floors and is 100% let to four tenants with a weighted average unexpired lease term of 2 years to breaks. It is located on the fringe of the City in the Aldgate area, which continues to undergo significant regeneration, including the new Chinese Embassy at the former Royal Mint site, and is close to multiple key transport links including Fenchurch Street, Tower Hill, Aldgate East and Shadwell stations.

The property, which is being acquired at a capital value of £555 per sq. ft. and a net initial yield of 4.5%, has substantial reversionary rental upside to deliver an estimated yield approaching 8% through active asset management. Current contracted rental income of £2.56 million equates to £26.41 per sq ft and CLS intends to undertake a substantial refurbishment to deliver high-quality space in an improving area with limited supply.

CLS intends to finance the acquisition through existing resources and bank financing.

Fredrik Widlund, Chief Executive Officer of CLS, commented:

"This acquisition is a clear demonstration of our ability to undertake transactions on an opportunistic basis where we can utilise our asset management expertise to deliver value over the long term in line with our strategy. The property's excellent location and attractive potential makes this an exciting acquisition for CLS."
