Release date: Tuesday 28th March 2006 Embargoed until: 07:00 CLS HOLDINGS PLC ("CLS") ANNOUNCES INVESTMENT IN BULGARIAN LAND DEVELOPMENT PLC The Board of CLS is pleased to report that it has invested in Bulgarian Land Development plc ("BLD"), a residential and commercial property developer whose founders have considerable experience in the Bulgarian property market. CLS has invested £4 million in the Company and will own 16% of the share capital of BLD on BLD's admission to AIM on 28 March 2006. BLD has raised £23 million through a placing by Seymour Pierce Ltd. Henry Klotz, who is responsible for CLS' Swedish property business, will serve as a non-executive director of BLD. Bulgarian Land Development plc offers CLS the opportunity to invest in Bulgaria's rapidly developing property sector with the benefit of considerable experience within BLD's management team. BLD will focus initially on residential and tourist developments in Bulgaria's Black Sea area whilst maintaining the flexibility to invest in other residential property development projects elsewhere in Bulgaria, particularly in Sofia, the capital, and also in commercial property opportunities in Bulgaria. This investment establishes a modest foothold for CLS in the fast growing Bulgarian property sector and provides CLS with important access to a strong local network and an experienced team of highly respected individuals to assess the potential for further opportunities in the future. Executive Chairman, Sten Mortstedt, commented: "I am excited at the opportunity that BLD represents for CLS to enter into the Bulgarian property sector with people experienced in the area." - ends - For further information, please contact: Sten Mortstedt, Executive Chairman Per Sjöberg, Chief Executive Officer CLS Holdings plc +44 (0)20 7582 7766 www.clsholdings.com Adam Reynolds/Ben Simons Hansard Communications +44 (0)20 7245 1100
