The Board of CLS Holdings plc ('CLS') is pleased to announce that it has
agreed heads of terms with Mezzanine Group plc for the sale of its freehold
interest in the following two properties:
* 'Mezzanine', Fox's Lane, Wolverhampton
* 'Kartouche', Princes Street, Ipswich
The properties are currently leased from CLS by the purchasers who operate
them as night-clubs.
The agreed sale price is £4.0 million, representing a yield of 8.25%, of which
£2.5 million is payable in cash and £1.5 million will be settled by the issue
of ordinary shares of 5 pence each in Mezzanine Group plc at a price of 53
pence per share.
CLS originally purchased the properties in December 1998 for £1.925 million,

refurbished approximately ten years ago and comprise 4,090 sq. m. (44,027 sq.

million at 31 December 1999.

and demonstrates our active approach to the management of our property
portfolio.'
