CLS HOLDINGS PLC ("CLS") ANNOUNCES SALE OF PROPERTY IN FRANCE
The Board of CLS Holdings plc is pleased to announce that its wholly owned
subsidiary Citadel Holdings plc has sold the corporate structure that owns 147,
Avenue Paul Doumer in Rueil-Malmaison. The property value in the transaction
was €8.5 million before the deduction of €793,000 relating to contingent
capital gains tax and €544,000 in respect of stamp duty and other transactional
costs. The sale was completed on 28th December 2006.
The property comprising 39,204 sq ft (3,630 sq m) was purchased by CLS in 1999
for the equivalent of €4.4 million and was valued as at 30th June 2006 at €8
million.
At the time of the sale, the building was let to various tenants whilst 31%
remained vacant. Major refurbishment works would have been necessary before
re-letting could be achieved.
The purchaser is Dynamique Bureaux, a property fund fully owned by CB Richard
Ellis Investors.
Executive Chairman, Sten Mortstedt, commented:
"We are happy to have sold this building at an attractive price. The property
has yielded excellent returns over our period of ownership. Following this
sale, the vacancy rate of our French portfolio has been reduced to 1.7%."
