The Board of CLS is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary
Citadel Holdings plc ("Citadel") has purchased a property located at 18 rue
Goubet, 75019 Paris, comprising 1,294 sq m (13,929 sq ft) of offices and 27
parking spaces.
The property was built in the 1970s and is located in the north-eastern part of
Paris. There are two underground stations within a 5-minute walk and the
property also benefits from direct access to the Paris ring road.
The property is substantially let to Selecta, the market leader for snacks/

tenant break after 6 years. The net rental income at the time of completion was
€ 247,020 (£169,505) per annum and is expected to reach € 276,020 (£189,405)
per annum when fully let, vacant space is currently 129 sq m (1,389 sq ft).
This equates to a rental value of €199 per sq m (£12.69 per sq ft) inclusive of
car parking. The total purchase price, including all costs, was € 3,339,000 (£
2,291,223), representing a 7.4% yield. Based on a completed loan facility of €
2,700,000 (£1,852,741) at a 3.9% interest rate per annum on a floating rate
basis, the initial return on equity is 21.2%, whilst the initial cash return on
