CLS Holdings plc ('CLS' or 'the Company') - Proposed purchase of up to 3,435,835
   ordinary shares of 25p each in the Company ('Ordinary Shares') by way of a
                       tender offer ('the Tender Offer')


On 28 February 2003, the board of CLS announced in its preliminary results for
the year to 31 December 2002 that the Company intends to purchase 1 in every 27
Ordinary Shares by way of a tender offer at 240p per share.

CLS is today posting a circular to shareholders in relation to the Tender Offer
on the terms set out above. The Tender Offer is being made in lieu of the final
dividend for the year to 31 December 2002. If the maximum number of 3,435,835
Ordinary Shares under the Tender Offer is acquired, this will result in an
amount of £8,246,004 being paid by the Company to participating shareholders.

The Tender Offer is open to all shareholders on the Company's register at 5.00
p.m. on 13 May 2003, who may participate by tendering all or a proportion of
their holdings of Ordinary Shares at the above price. No Ordinary Shares will be
purchased in relation to the Tender Offer unless the relevant resolutions to be
proposed at the annual general meeting of the Company to be held on 14 May 2003
(the 'AGM') are passed. The Tender Offer will be void if less than 0.1 per cent.
of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company in aggregate is tendered.

Acceptances of the Tender Offer, which may only be made on the tender form
accompanying the circular to shareholders, should be returned as soon as
possible and, in any event, so as to be received by 10.00 a.m. on 13 May 2003,
the latest time and date for receipt of the tender forms and forms of proxy for
the AGM.
