Important information This prospectus (the “Prospectus”) has been issued by CLS Holdings plc (the “Company” or “CLS” and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Group”) due to the Company’s application for listing of the bonds (the “Bonds”) issued on 27 April 2011 under the Company’s bond loan of SEK 300,000,000 with an annual interest of STIBOR + 3.75 per cent (the “Bond loan”) on the Corporate Bonds List at NASDAQ OMX Stockholm AB (“NASDAQ OMX Stockholm”). Carnegie Investment Bank AB (publ) (“Carnegie”) has acted as the Company’s financial adviser in connection with the issuance and listing of the Bonds.

Risk factors Investments in bonds are always associated with risks, including the risk of a potential loss of the entire investment. A number of factors affect and may affect the performance and financial position of CLS (including those beyond CLS’s control) and ultimately CLS’s ability to make interest payments and payments of principal on final maturity. In this Section, such risk factors considered to be of material significance are presented and discussed, including general risks associated to CLS’s operations as well as the main risks associated with the Bond as a financial instrument. The risk factors are not presented in any order of priority, nor is the outline exhaustive. The purpose of this risk assessment is to describe the risks associated with CLS’s operations and thus the Company’s ability to meet its commitments in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bonds. A prospective investor should carefully consider the risk factors described hereafter as well as all other information in this Prospectus before investing in the Bonds. Furthermore, an investor must, solely or with financial and other advisers, consider the information in the prospectus and the general financial situation from an individual perspective. An investor should have enough knowledge to make a fair assessment of the risk factors as well as the economic capacity to bear these risks. Further risk factors that are currently not known, or that are currently not considered significant, could also affect CLS’s future operations, results and financial position and therefore also the Company’s ability to meet its commitments in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds. Risks related to CLS Rental incomes and development of rents The Company’s income is affected by the long-term demand for office locations and other premises, the properties’ occupancy rate and rents. Rents and vacancies are affected by, among other things, the growth in the economy, the production of new buildings, changes in infrastructure, employment and demographic factors. Economic growth is expected to result in an increased demand for office locations and other premises, fewer vacancies, increase in production and a potential for increased market rents. Stagnation is expected to have the opposite effect. A decrease in rental incomes may have a negative effect on the Company’s results and cash flow and as a consequence may affect the Company’s ability to fulfil its obligations under the Bonds. CLS’s rental revenues will depend upon the financial stability of its tenants The financial stability of CLS’s tenants may affect the Company’s financial performance. Tenant defaults could result in a significant reduction in rental revenues, which could require CLS to contribute additional capital or obtain alternative financing to meet obligations under any financing arrangements relating to such properties. In addition, the costs and time involved in enforcing rights under a lease with a defaulting tenant, including eviction and re-leasing costs, may be significant. The financial stability of tenants may change over time. Any adverse change in the tenants’ financial condition may negatively affect the value of property in which such tenants lease space with reduced rental income from such property potentially negatively affecting the Company’s ability to fulfil its obligations under the Bonds. Credit risk Credit risk consists primarily of the risk that an opposing party does not fulfil its commitments regarding the payment of rent or the settlement when purchasing a property. CLS depends on the rents paid by its tenants. If a tenant does not pay its rents or otherwise fails to fulfil its commitments towards CLS, the Company’s results could be negatively affected and could therefore affect the Company’s ability to fulfil its obligations under the Bonds.

Financing and liquidity risk CLS may need additional capital to acquire properties or to refinance its existing credit facilities. Although CLS has relationships with approximately 20 banks there is no guarantee that CLS will be able to obtain additional financing on terms and conditions acceptable to CLS. CLS’s credit agreements with the banks typically contain covenants stipulating a maximum loan to value and a minimum interest cover. They also typically contain remedies which can be followed to rectify any breach, such as a partial loan repayment or deposit of cash. Loans under the credit agreements are usually taken out by a single purpose vehicle and all loans are on a non-recourse basis to the rest of the Group. Default of the obligations under, or breach of the financial covenants in, CLS’s credit agreements could have a material adverse effect on CLS’s financial condition and could adversely affect CLS’s ability to obtain additional financing, if necessary. Such default could also trigger the cross-default provision in the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds and, eventually lead to the termination of the Bonds. Consequently, a default under CLS’s credit facilities or the inability to obtain additional capital on terms and conditions acceptable to CLS may affect the Company’s ability to fulfil its obligations under the Bonds or even lead to the Bonds being terminated. Interest rate risk The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its floating interest rate borrowing. CLS aims to manage its interest rate exposure through interest rate swaps and caps and through borrowing at fixed rates. Interest rates are sensitive to numerous factors beyond CLS’s control, and an increase in interest rates could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition and consequently the Company’s ability to fulfil its obligations under the Bonds. Currency risk Although CLS’s reporting is in GBP, the Company operates in different countries and currencies. The difference between the value of a property and the amount of the financing is generally unhedged. Currency fluctuations may negatively affect CLS’s financial condition and consequently the Company’s ability to fulfil its obligations under the Bonds. Real estate acquisitions Real estate acquisitions are a part of the Company’s business operations and may be subject to certain risks. When acquiring real estate the risks include, among other things, future vacancies, the tenants’ ability to pay rent, environmental conditions and technical defects. It is therefore of great importance that the Group has the competence required for real estate acquisitions and that external expertise is used when necessary. Acquisitions of properties in which significant vacancies arise or unforeseeable expenditure occurs may affect the Company’s ability to fulfil its obligations under the Bonds. CLS may not be able to secure suitable locations for development The choice of suitable locations for the construction of commercial developments is an important factor in the success of individual projects and in their respective value. Ideally, these sites should be located: (i) within or near to a city centre, with well-developed transportation infrastructure in close proximity; or (ii) within local areas with sufficient population to support the development. If the Company is not able to find sites in the target cities which meet these criteria, either at all or at viable prices, this may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition and consequently the Company’s ability to fulfil its obligations under the Bonds. The real estate book values and appraisals may not accurately reflect the market value of CLS’s properties The real estate book values and appraisals referred to in this Prospectus are made on the basis of certain assumptions and as at specified dates, and there can be no assurances that these figures accurately reflect

Page 14: CLS HOLDINGS PLC Prospectus regarding listing of …ww7.investorrelations.co.uk/cls/uploads/presentations/...“GBP” or “£” are to the British pound, the currency in Great Britain;

14

the market value of the Group’s properties at all or as at any other date. In addition, certain assumptions and valuation models were used in the preparation of the appraisals, and the use of different assumptions or valuation models would likely produce different valuation results. Therefore, the book values and appraised market values included herein should not be taken as an indication of the proceeds that could be achieved in the sale of any of the Group’s properties. A decline in valuation or discrepancy between the valuation and the market price may affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition and thereby its ability to fulfil its obligations under the Bonds. Changes in laws could adversely affect CLS’s properties Various laws and regulations, including fire and safety requirements, environmental regulations, land use restrictions and taxes affect CLS’s properties. If properties do not comply with the requirements of these laws and regulations, CLS may incur governmental or civil fines. New or amended laws, rules, regulations or ordinances could require significant unanticipated expenditure or impose restrictions on the development, construction or sale of properties. Such laws, rules, regulations or ordinances may also adversely affect CLS’s ability to operate or resell properties. Any of such circumstances may have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition and consequently the Company’s ability to fulfil its obligations under the Bonds. Environmental problems are possible and can be costly

National and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment may require a current or previous owner or operator of real estate to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases at or affecting property. The owner or operator may have to pay a governmental entity or third party for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred by such party in connection with the contamination. These laws typically impose clean-up responsibility and liability on the party which caused the contamination of the site. Obligations imposed on CLS to remedy any environmental liabilities or defects could materially adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition and thereby its ability to fulfil its obligations under the Bonds. Insurance may not cover all losses relating to CLS’s properties

The Company’s real estate assets could suffer physical damage caused by fire or other causes, resulting in losses (including loss of rent) which may not be fully compensated by insurance. In addition, there are certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, terrorism or acts of war, for which insurance may not be available or which are not economically insurable. Inflation, changes in legislation, environmental considerations and other factors may also result in insurance proceeds being insufficient to repair or replace a property if it is damaged or destroyed. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of received claim amounts occur, CLS could lose capital invested in the affected property as well as anticipated future revenue from that property. In addition, CLS could be liable to repair damage caused by uninsured risks. Losses that are not covered by insurance may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition and consequently the Company’s ability to fulfil its obligations under the Bonds. Influence by major shareholders The Sten Mortstedt’s Family & Charity Trust owns more than 50 per cent of all shares in CLS. This means that the Sten Mortstedt’s Family & Charity Trust is able to practice influence over CLS at General Shareholders’ Meetings. There is no assurance that the interest of a major owner will not influence decisions that could have a negative effect for the Holders.

Risks related to the Bonds Each potential investor in the Bonds must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should:

● have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Bonds, the merits and risks of investing in the Bonds and the information contained in this Prospectus;

● have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its own particular financial situation, an investment in the Bonds and the impact such investment will have on its overall investment portfolio;

● have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Bonds;

● thoroughly understand the terms of the Bonds; and

● be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.

Credit risk

As a credit risk of the Bonds, a potential investor should assess credit risks associated with the Company as well as the credit risk of the Bonds. As a credit risks associated with the Company, events that undermine the creditworthiness of the Company should be considered. If CLS’s financial position should decline, there is a risk that the Company will not be able to fulfil its obligations under the Bonds. A decrease in the Company’s creditworthiness could also mean a decrease in the market value of the Bonds. Clearing and settlement in Euroclear Sweden

The Bonds will be registered on behalf of the investors with a central securities depository - currently Euroclear Sweden’s clearing system - and, therefore, no physical notes are or will be issued. Clearing and settlement of trading in the Bonds, as well as coupon payments, will be made through the Euroclear system. Consequently, investors are dependent on the functioning of Euroclear Sweden’s clearing system. Subordination

The Bonds constitute unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company. If the Company should be wound up (whether the liquidation is voluntary or not), the claims of all secured creditors and other creditors having priority by operation of law or contract will be paid ahead of the Holders. Accordingly, liquidation could result in a material adverse effect for investors. There is currently no active trading market for the Bonds

The Bonds are new securities which may not be widely distributed and for which there is currently no active trading market. Following the listing of the Bonds, they may trade at a discount to the nominal value, depending upon the market for similar securities, general economic conditions and the financial condition of the Company. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will develop for the Bonds, that Holders will be able to sell their Bonds, or that such Holders will be able to sell their Bonds for a price that reflects their value.

Business and operations of CLS

Company background CLS is a commercial property investment company incorporated on 14 May 1992 with investments initially concentrating mainly on high yielding office properties in central, western and south-west London. The Company has been listed on the Main list on the London Stock Exchange since 27 May 1994. Business The Company’s main activity is in commercial real estate across four European regions: London, France, Germany and Sweden. The Company’s core focus is in providing well-managed, cost-effective offices and commercial real estate for tenants. CLS aims to hold, develop and refurbish its property investments to obtain long-term asset growth. As at 31 December 2010, CLS’s directly held investment portfolio was valued at GBP 876.9 million. London As at 31 December 2010, the London portfolio represented 40 per cent of the Company’s property interests with a value of GBP 375.0 million divided in 28 properties with an aggregate lettable area of 127,700 square metres. As at 31 December 2010, the London portfolio had a strong tenant profile with 53 per cent by rental value let to government tenants, and 29 per cent to major corporations. The income had a weighted average lease term of 10.1 years, or 9.6 years to the first break. France As at 31 December 2010, the French portfolio was valued at GBP 248.7 million, which represented 27 per cent of the Company’s property interests. As at 31 December 2010, the French portfolio contained 26 properties of a total of 96,500 square metres and had 171 tenants. 21 per cent of the French portfolio was let to government tenants, most tenancies were of the traditional French 3:6:9 year duration, and the weighted average lease length at 31 December 2010 was 5.9 years, or 3.1 years to the first break. Germany As at 31 December 2010, the German portfolio was valued at GBP 196.5 million, being 21 per cent of the Company’s property interests. The German portfolio contained 16 properties and comprised 138,000 square metres of lettable space with 83 tenants on a weighted average lease term of 9.6 years, or 9.3 years to the first break. 18 per cent of the contracted rent was from government tenants. Sweden As at 31 December 2010, the Company’s Swedish property interests comprised two elements which together represented 12 per cent of the Company’s property interests. CLS has mainly two large real estate exposures in Sweden. The first one is the wholly owned 45,500 square metres of offices in Vänersborg, near Gothenburg, called Vänerparken, which was valued at GBP 56.7 million as at 31 December 2010. The local municipality has leased 91 per cent of this space until 2015 and 2019, respectively, subject to annual indexation. CLS’s second exposure is the 29.9 per cent stake in the property company Catena AB, listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm. Other investments The Company has a corporate bond portfolio, which is part of the Company’s long-term investment strategy in parallel with the ownership of long-term investment properties. At 31 December 2010, there were 30 different bonds held in the portfolio, spread across four different sectors – insurance, banks,

Page 20: CLS HOLDINGS PLC Prospectus regarding listing of …ww7.investorrelations.co.uk/cls/uploads/presentations/...“GBP” or “£” are to the British pound, the currency in Great Britain;

20

industrials, and other – and with a coupon yield of 8.29 per cent by year end 2010. This portfolio is actively monitored by the Company’s in house team and external advisers. The Company also owns 48.3 per cent of an unquoted property company, Bulgarian Land Development Plc, holding predominantly residential property assets in Bulgaria. Market overview The Company currently holds properties in London, France, Germany and Sweden. London is expected to continue to outperform the rest of the UK commercial property market. In London, banks are pushing hard to resolve issues on property-related debt, and this provides CLS with new investment opportunities. The availability of new bank debt remains the weakest of the four markets in which CLS operates. In France, bank debt is in plentiful supply, the property investment market is strong and tenant demand is solid.

In Germany, the supply of bank debt remains good, and investment activity has recovered from low volumes in 2009 with indications of economic growth in Germany leading to higher inflation. The Company’s activity in the German investment market for 2011 is likely to be mainly tenant-led through pre-lettings for new developments.

Of the four markets in which the Company operates, Sweden remains the most expensive on a like-for-like basis, in part fuelled by readily available bank debt. Also, interest rates are being increased in Sweden in order to control the fast growing economy.

Many members of the Board of Directors and management are, however, likely to have financial interests in the Company through their holdings of shares in CLS. Corporate governance The principal corporate governance rules which applied to UK companies listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2010 were those set out in the Combined Code on Corporate Governance as updated by the Financial Reporting Council (“FRC”) in June 2008 (the “Code”), the UK FSA Listing Rules and the UK FSA’s Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Page 23: CLS HOLDINGS PLC Prospectus regarding listing of …ww7.investorrelations.co.uk/cls/uploads/presentations/...“GBP” or “£” are to the British pound, the currency in Great Britain;

23

On 1 January 2011, the UK Corporate Governance Code (the “New Code”) replaced the Code as the applicable source of corporate governance recommendations for the Company. The New Code contains a number of additional requirements applicable to FTSE 350 companies. The Board of Directors intends to adopt a number of these new requirements. However, the Company is not a constituent of the FTSE 350 and these requirements are therefore not binding on CLS. During 2010, the Company did not completely comply with the Code and did make the following deviations: • As Thomas Lundqvist was deemed not to be independent, the composition of the Audit Committee did

not comply with the recommendation contained in C.3.1 of the Code (C.3.1 of the New Code). The Committee considered that Mr. Lundqvist’s experience and detailed knowledge of the Company greatly assisted the Committee when making decisions within its remit.

• As both Thomas Lundqvist and Joseph Crawley were deemed not to be independent, the Company did

not comply with the composition of the Remuneration Committee recommended in provision B.2.1 of the Code (D.2.1 of the New Code). However, Mr. Lundqvist’s experience and detailed knowledge of the Company and Mr. Crawley’s experience in the real estate sector greatly assisted the Committee when making decisions within its remit.

• As the Company did not set up a separate Nomination Committee, it did not comply with the provision

A.4.1 of the Code (B.2.1 of the New Code). Due to the size and nature of the Company, the Board decided that this function was better carried out by the Executive Chairman and other Directors, Non-Executive and Executive, as appropriate for each appointment.

Committees of the Board of Directors The Audit Committee The principal duties of the Audit Committee are to review the half yearly and annual financial reports before their submission to the Board of Directors and to consider any matters raised by the auditor. The Committee also reviews the Interim Management Statements of the Company and the independence and objectivity of the auditor, taking into account relevant professional and regulatory requirements and the relationship with the auditor as a whole. The terms of reference of the Committee reflect current best practice, including authority to: • recommend the appointment, re-appointment and removal of the external auditor; • ensure the objectivity and independence of the auditor including occasions when, in accordance with

the specific policy, non-audit services are provided, by monitoring fees and letters of engagement; and • ensure appropriate “whistle-blowing” arrangements are in place. The Audit Committee consists of three board members, Malcolm Cooper as Chairman, Thomas Lundqvist and Christopher Jarvis. The Remuneration Committee The Remuneration Committee considers the employment and performance of individual Executive Directors and determines their terms of service and remuneration in the context of business and personal performance. It also has authority to grant options under the Company’s Executive Share Options Scheme and Company Share Option Plan. The composition of the Committee is kept under annual review by the Board. The Remuneration Committee consists of two board members, Thomas Lundqvist as Chairman and Joseph Crawley.

The Bonds and listing The Bonds are denominated in SEK and the ISIN code is SE0003918093. The Bonds have been issued under Swedish law. The Bonds are registered in the account-based system of Euroclear Sweden. This means that the Bonds are registered on behalf of the Holders on an account or custodian account with Euroclear Sweden and no physical notes are or will be issued. Payment of principal and interest will be made through Euroclear Sweden whose address is, P.O. Box 191, SE-101 23 Stockholm, phone number +46 8 402 90 00. The Bonds may be transferred without restriction. The Company has applied for listing of the Bonds on the Corporate Bonds List at NASDAQ OMX Stockholm. The first day of trading is expected to be 5 July 2011. The Terms and Conditions of the Bonds are governed by Swedish law. The courts of Sweden have jurisdiction in relation to any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Terms and Conditions, with the District Court of Stockholm as the court of first instance. Financial advisor and Agent Carnegie has acted as the Company’s financial advisor in connection with the issuance of the Bonds and has received compensation for its services. Carnegie has also provided financial advice in connection with the application for admittance to trading of the Bonds on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm. No additional compensation has been paid for services related to the application for the Bonds to be admitted to trading. The Agent, CorpNordic, is the Swedish subsidiary in the Nordic CorpNordic Group with headquarters in Denmark. CorpNordic is entitled to compensation from the Company for its services as Agent.

Carnegie acts as Issuing Agent for the Bond issue but may in the future also provide additional services to the Company. The Agent acts primarily in the interest of the Holders and can in some circumstances represent the Holders in relation to the Company, even though its compensation is paid by CLS. It cannot be ruled out that conflicts of interest may arise as a result of the above. Material agreements Due to the nature of the Company’s business and the contractual relationships created in the Company’s ordinary course of business, the Company has not, outside the ordinary course of business, entered into any agreements with a single counterparty or affiliated counterparties which may affect the Company’s ability to fulfil its obligations under the Bonds. Legal and arbitration proceedings CLS is not, and has not been, party to any legal or arbitration proceedings during the last twelve months which may have, or have had, a significant effect on the Company’s financial condition or result of operations, nor are there any such proceedings pending or expected. Tax considerations There is no tax deduction at source (i.e. by the Company) with regard to payments under the Bonds. Euroclear Sweden or the Swedish nominee (in the case of nominee registered securities) withholds preliminary tax, at present 30 per cent, on interest paid in cash to individuals who are resident in Sweden for tax purposes. Depending on each Holder’s individual tax situation, the final tax may exceed or be less than the preliminary tax withheld by Euroclear or the Swedish nominee, which can result in additional payments to or from the relevant tax authority. Each investor is recommended to consult a tax advisor for information as to the tax consequences of an investment in the Bonds, relating to their particular circumstances. The tax rate and other tax rules may be subject to change during the term of the Bonds. Articles of Association The current Articles of Association of CLS was adopted on 11 May 2010. The Articles of Association are available for review on the Company’s website (www.clsholdings.com) and at the Company’s head office in London. Investments No significant investments have been made by CLS since the publication of the annual report for 2010 and the Company has made no firm commitments regarding future investments. Recent trends In London, banks are pushing hard to resolve issues on property-related debt, and this provides CLS with new investment opportunities. The availability of new bank debt remains the weakest of the four markets in which CLS operates. In France, bank debt is in plentiful supply, the property investment market is strong and tenant demand is solid. There are indications of economic growth in Germany leading to higher inflation, and in Sweden interest rates are being increased in order to control the fast growing economy.

From the date of notification from the Company that the relevant event under Clause 11.1.2-11.1.8 is no longer continuing, the Agent shall, within three (3) Banking Days, release the said collateral to the Company.

11.3 The Company is obliged to inform the Agent immediately if any circumstance of the type specified in Clause 11.1 occurs. Should the Agent not receive such information, the Agent is entitled to assume that no such circumstance exists or can be expected to occur provided that the Agent does not have knowledge of such circumstance. At the request of the Agent, the Company shall within five (5) Banking Days provide the Agent with a certificate regarding the circumstances dealt with in Clause 11.1. The Company shall further provide the Agent with such details as the Agent may request regarding any circumstances referred to in Clause 11.1 and, at the request of the Agent, provide all documents that may be of significance in the application of this Clause.

11.4 If the Agent has been notified by the Company or otherwise has determined (acting reasonably) that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent shall consider, within a maximum of ten (10) Banking Days of the day of notification or determination, if the Bonds shall be terminated. If the Agent has decided not to terminate the Bonds, the Agent shall, at the earliest possible date, notify the Holders of the availability of the termination right and obtain the Holders opinion hereof according to the provisions in Clause 12 (Holders’ Meeting).

Page 41: CLS HOLDINGS PLC Prospectus regarding listing of …ww7.investorrelations.co.uk/cls/uploads/presentations/...“GBP” or “£” are to the British pound, the currency in Great Britain;

41

Amount, the Agent shall promptly declare the Bonds terminated. If the relevant Event of Default according to the Agent’s appraisal has ceased before the declaration of termination, the Agent is not liable to execute it. The Agent shall in such case, at the earliest possible date, notify the Holders that the relevant Event of Default has ceased to exist. If the Holders, without prior solicitation from the Agent or the Company, have passed a resolution in accordance with all relevant provisions in Clause 12 (Holders’ Meeting) and to the effect that the Bonds shall be terminated in accordance with all relevant provisions of this Clause 11, the Agent shall promptly execute such request accordingly. The Agent is, however, not obliged to take action if the Agent considers (acting reasonably) that an Event of Default is not continuing or the resolution by the Holders has not been validly passed, unless the relevant Holders in writing have undertaken to hold the Agent indemnified and have provided sufficient security for the obligation, at the Agent’s sole discretion.

12. HOLDERS’ MEETING

12.1 Each of the Company or the Agent can at any time call for a holders’ meeting or demand a procedure in writing among the Holders (the “Holders’ Meeting”). Holders representing at least ten (10) per cent of the then total outstanding Nominal Amount may demand that such call is made. Such demand shall be made in writing to the Company and the Agent and include (i) information regarding the issues that shall be discussed and (ii) documentation which indicates the holding of the relevant Holders. If the Agent establishes that such demand has been received in due order the Agent shall, within twenty (20) Banking Days from receipt of such demand, convene to a Holders’ Meeting. However, the Agent is not imposed with such an obligation if, according to the Agent (acing reasonably), (a) the proposal must be approved by the Company and the Company informs the Agent that it will not give such approval, (b) the proposal is conflicting with applicable laws or (c) it appears highly unlikely that the Holders’ Meeting will decide in accordance with the proposal in view of previous Holders’ Meetings.

12.2 Notice shall be sent to the Holders and the Agent or, as the case may be, the Company in accordance with Clause 15 (Notices) below and shall be sent not later than ten (10) Banking Days and not earlier than thirty (30) Banking Days prior to the meeting or the last day for replies. The notice shall include (i) the time of the meeting or the last day for replies, (ii) the place for the meeting or address for replies, (iii) the agenda for the meeting, (iv) information regarding which day a Holder shall be registered as owner or, in the case of nominee registration and such possibility is provided by the CSD, is entitled to vote in the register of the CSD and (v) other relevant information required for a Holder to attend the meeting. The Company or, if the Agent is convening, the Agent shall determine the contents of the notice and provide, in writing or electronically, a proxy form or, in the case of a procedure in writing, a decision form with the relevant alternatives for resolution.

12.3 A resolution is passed by means of voting at a Holders’ meeting (or, in the case of a procedure in writing, through calculation by the Agent of the replies), at which each Holder entitled to vote shall have one (1) vote per SEK one (1) of the aggregate Nominal Amount of the Bonds held. A Holder must vote in the same manner for all Bonds held. However, a representative which represents different Holders may vote differently for different Holders. Bonds held by any Group company shall not entitle any voting right and shall not be considered when calculating if necessary majority has been achieved in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. The resolution of the Holders shall be the opinion which represents the majority of the Adjusted Nominal Amount for the Bonds represented at the meeting. In respect of the issues below the following qualified majority is required among the votes cast and the answers received in order for a resolution to be validly passed (“Qualified Majority”):

(a) two thirds when (1) one of the conditions in Clause 10 is waived or (2) a condition in Clauses 10 and 11 is amended, subject to (b) below;

Page 42: CLS HOLDINGS PLC Prospectus regarding listing of …ww7.investorrelations.co.uk/cls/uploads/presentations/...“GBP” or “£” are to the British pound, the currency in Great Britain;

42

(b) three quarters when (1) the principal amount, interest rate or interest amount which shall be paid by the Company is reduced, (2) any amendment of any redemption day for principal or interest amount is made and (3) any amendment of the conditions in this Clause 12.3 is made.

If the number of votes are equal the opinion which is most beneficial for the Holders, according to the chairman of the meeting (or, in the case of a procedure in writing, the Agent) will prevail.

12.4 A quorum exists where (i) Holders representing at least one-fifth of the aggregate outstanding Adjusted Nominal Amount attend the meeting (or, in the case of a procedure in writing, provide replies), or (ii) where any decision requiring a Qualified Majority is at issue, Holders representing at least one-half of the aggregate outstanding Adjusted Nominal Amount attend the meeting (or, in the case of a procedure in writing, provide answers). If a quorum is not achieved within fifteen (15) minutes from the fixed time (or, in the case of a procedure in writing, through received answers at the end of the time for replies), the meeting shall be adjourned (or, in the case of a procedure in writing, the time for replies shall be extended) to the tenth Banking Day thereafter. Notice containing information regarding time and place for a continued meeting (or, in the case of a procedure in writing, information regarding extended time for replies) shall promptly be provided to the Holders in accordance with Clause 15 (Notices). At a continued meeting (or, in the case of a procedure in writing, at a new calculation) a resolution can be passed through an ordinary resolution (or, if required in accordance with Clause 12.3 above, through Qualified Majority) by Holders entitled to vote irrespective of the share of Bonds represented.

12.5 The Company, the Holders and the Agent may attend the meeting along with their respective representatives, counsels and assistants. The meeting can decide that further individuals may attend. The meeting is opened by an attendee appointed by the Company (or, if such person has not been appointed, a present person appointed by the Agent) and the meeting shall be chaired by such person until present and represented Holders have appointed a chairman for the meeting. The chairman shall arrange for minutes to be kept with respect to the meeting in which Holders entitled to vote and other persons attending the meeting shall be listed. The minutes shall further reflect the discussions at the meeting, the results of the voting and the resolutions passed. The minutes shall be signed by the chairman and by at least one person appointed to verify the minutes. In the case of a procedure in writing, the Agent shall calculate the votes cast and prepare the minutes in respect of the calculation. The Agent may request for further information and clarifications but is not obliged to do so and may disregard unclear or illegible answers. The Agent shall disregard answers which do not follow listed alternatives or answers where voting rights do not appear in the material provided by the Holder or the CSD. The Company may attend the calculation. The minutes shall be completed promptly and be held available for the Holders at the Company and the Agent.

12.6 If the Company and the Agent deem it appropriate, a meeting may be combined with a possibility for Holders to provide answers in accordance with a written resolution form as an alternative to being present or being represented at a meeting.

12.7 A resolution that has been passed at a duly convened and held meeting, or a procedure in writing, is binding to all Holders irrespective of them being present or being represented at the meeting, or if they have participated in the procedure in writing and irrespective of how and if they have voted.

12.8 The Company shall bear all costs for the Company and the Agent in connection with a meeting or a procedure in writing, irrespective of who has initiated the meeting or the procedure.

13. THE AGENT

13.1 The Agent’s obligations are exhaustively regulated herein. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Agent has no obligation to monitor the Company’s financial standing or its fulfilment of obligations and liabilities, other than as expressly set forth herein.

13.2 The Agent shall not be bound to account to any Holder for any sum received by it for its own account.

13.3 For the avoidance of any doubt, the Agent is not obliged to do or omit to do anything if it would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of any law or regulation or a breach of a fiduciary duty or duty of confidentiality.

13.4 The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under these Terms and Conditions, unless directly caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

13.5 Even without a separate authorization from the Holders, the Agent, or a person appointed by the Agent, is empowered to represent the Holders against the Company in accordance with these provisions in every matter concerning the Bonds, whether or not in court or before an executive authority (including any legal or arbitration proceeding relating to the perfection, preservation, protection or enforcement of the Bonds). Each Holder shall immediately upon request by the Agent provide the Agent with any such documents, including a written power of attorney (in form and substance to the Agent’s satisfaction), which the Agent deems necessary for the purpose of carrying out its duties under these Terms and Conditions. The Agent is under no obligation to represent a Holder which does not comply with such request of the Agent. Even though the Agent is entitled to represent the Holders, the Agent is not obliged to take action unless explicitly expressed in these Terms and Conditions.

13.6 The Agent may rely on any representation, notice or document believed by it to be genuine, correct and appropriately authorized and any statement made by a director, authorized signatory or employee of any person regarding any matters which may reasonably be assumed to be within his knowledge or within his power to verify.

13.7 The Agent may assume that no Event of Default has occurred, unless it has actual knowledge thereof or has received notice to the contrary.

13.8 In relation to these Terms and Conditions, the Agent may act through its personnel and agents. The Agent may further engage, pay for and rely on the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants or other experts. The reasonable and proper costs for such third party advice shall be borne by the Company. In acting as Agent for the Holders, the Agent shall be regarded as acting through its agency division which shall be treated as a separate entity from any other of its divisions or departments. If information is received by another division or department of the Agent, it may be treated as confidential to that division or department and the Agent may reasonably not be deemed to have received it.

13.9 Without affecting the responsibility of the Company for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with these Terms and Conditions, by acquiring a Bond each Holder confirms to the Agent that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with these Terms and Conditions.

13.10 The Agent shall be reimbursed by the Company for acting as Agent in accordance with these Terms and Conditions provided the relevant costs and expenses are reasonable and proper. If the Agent, based on good reasons, believes that the Company is or will become insolvent the Agent is entitled to reserve reasonable remuneration from Holders for its continued work in accordance

Page 44: CLS HOLDINGS PLC Prospectus regarding listing of …ww7.investorrelations.co.uk/cls/uploads/presentations/...“GBP” or “£” are to the British pound, the currency in Great Britain;

44

with these Terms and Conditions, save that the Agent shall make the arrangements stated in Clause 11.5 without having received remuneration or being indemnified by the Holders. If the Agent notifies the Holders that it will not take further actions, each Holder may independently represent its holding of Bonds in relation to the Company without having to observe the provisions in Clauses 11 (Acceleration of the Bonds) and Clause 13.5.

14. REPLACEMENT OF AGENT AND ISSUING AGENT

14.1 The Agent may not resign as Agent or transfer its position as Agent, unless the Company has given its prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, save where the Agent is obliged to resign or transfer its position as Agent by operation of law or regulation or where the Company has, in a material way, failed to fulfil its obligations towards the Agent under these Terms and Conditions and does not, within a reasonable time, remedy such failure after the Agent has made the Company aware thereof in writing. No resignation by the Agent shall however take effect until a new Agent has been appointed by the Company. If the Company has not appointed a new Agent within thirty (30) days after the Agent has given the Company notice of its resignation, the Agent has the right to appoint a new Agent. When a new Agent has been appointed, the resigning Agent shall bear no responsibility for acts or omissions during the time after the replacement of the Agent but shall continue to enjoy the rights under these Terms and Conditions (to the extent that such rights have occurred prior to the date of resignation). The Agent’s successor, the Company, the Issuing Agent and the Holders shall have the same rights and obligations among themselves as they would have had if such successor would have been the original Agent.

14.2 The Issuing Agent may resign as Issuing Agent and/or transfer its position as Issuing Agent at any time, provided that the Company has given its prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, and provided further that no resignation by the Issuing Agent shall take effect until a new Issuing Agent has been appointed by the Company. If the Company has not appointed a new Issuing Agent within thirty (30) days after the Issuing Agent has given the Company notice of its resignation, the Issuing Agent has the right to appoint a new Issuing Agent. When a new Issuing Agent has been appointed, the resigning Issuing Agent shall bear no responsibility for acts or omissions during the time after the replacement of the Issuing Agent but shall continue to enjoy the rights under these Terms and Conditions (to the extent that such rights have occurred prior to the date of resignation). The Issuing Agent’s successor, the Company, the Agent and the Holders shall have the same rights and obligations among themselves as they would have had if such successor would have been the original Issuing Agent.

14.3 If the Agent or the Issuing Agent is subject to bankruptcy or financial reconstruction according to law or regulations from a supervising authority, the Company shall immediately appoint a new Agent or Issuing Agent which immediately shall replace the present Agent or Issuing Agent as Agent or Issuing Agent in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. The Company may also appoint a new Agent which immediately shall replace the present Agent, if the Agent has, in a material way, failed to fulfil its obligations under these Terms and Conditions and does not, within a reasonable time, remedy such failure after the Company has made the Agent aware thereof in writing.

15. NOTICES

15.1 Notices from the Company or the Agent to a Holder shall be given to the Holder at its address as registered with the CSD. The notice shall be considered as received by the Holder three Banking Days after it has been dispatched.

17.2 If the above prescription period has been duly interrupted in accordance with the Swedish Act on Limitations (Preskriptionslagen (1981:130)), a new ten-year period, in respect of principal, and a three-year period, in respect of interest payments, runs from such day as follows from the application of the Swedish Act on Limitations (Preskriptionslagen (1981:130)).

18. NOMINEE REGISTRATION

In respect of Bonds registered with a nominee in accordance with the Swedish Financial Instruments Accounts Act (Lag (1998:1479) om kontoföring av finansiella instrument), the nominee shall, for the purpose of these Terms and Conditions, be regarded as the Holder (subject to the provisions regarding voting rights of the Holders in Clause 12 (Holders’ Meeting)).

19.2 Any damage that may arise shall not be indemnified by the Agent if it has acted in accordance with these Terms and Conditions or if it, in its capacity as Agent, acted in accordance with the decisions resolved at a Holders’ Meeting in accordance with Clause 12 (Holders’ Meeting).
