THIS DOCUMENT IS FOR THE USE OF THE INTENDED RECIPIENT ONLY AND

Further to the announcement on 2(nd) September 2019, CLS
announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Endicott Sweden AB
("Endicott"), has sold 3,971,349 shares in Catena AB ("Catena"),
which corresponds to circa 10.5% of the total share capital of
Catena, through an accelerated book-building process at a price of
SEK 340 per share (the "Placement").
Following the Placement, Endicott holds no shares in Catena. CLS
has realised a gain of GBP15.4 million, excluding costs, above the
valuation of its Catena shareholding at 30 June 2019, representing
an increase in EPRA net asset value of 3.8 pence per share, and the
Group's liquid resources have increased by GBP113.9 million.
ABG Sundal Collier AB acted as sole bookrunner in connection
with the Placement.
Fredrik Widlund, Chief Executive Officer of CLS, commented:
"Catena is a very well-run company in which we have been
shareholders since 2007. We have decided to improve the focus of
CLS further and take advantage of Catena's current share price
premium to NAV. We will reinvest these proceeds in office
properties in our core markets in the UK, Germany and France, where
we will be able to add value through active asset management."
