Dear Shareholder,

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to give you details of the Company's Annual General Meeting ("AGM") which is to be held on Wednesday, 25 April 2018 at 10.00 a.m. and the resolutions to be proposed at it. I am pleased to enclose a copy of the Company's Annual Report & Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2017 (the "Annual Report").

As we reported when we announced our annual financial report on 7 March 2018, it is your Directors' intention to propose a distribution by way of a final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2017 of 4.30 pence per share. This is subject to the passing of Resolution 3.

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS WITH SHAREHOLDERS

You may be aware that the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act") aims to encourage use of electronic communications with shareholders and enables companies, if their shareholders agree to it, to supply documents to their shareholders by email or by use of website access instead of posting documents to them. As we currently have under 1,000 shareholders, the Company intends to continue to post documents to all the names on the share register. However, if you would also like to receive documents by email, you may request this service by writing to CLS (marked for the attention of the Company Secretary) or by emailing enquiries@clsholdings.com.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING – EXPLANATORY NOTES

The AGM is to be held in the Seminar Room at Spring Mews - Fresh Student Living, 10 Tinworth Street, Lambeth, London, SE11 5AL, on Wednesday, 25 April 2018 at 10.00am You will find on pages 7 to 11 of this document the Notice convening the AGM. A form of proxy for use in connection with the AGM is enclosed with this document.

Resolutions 1 to 16 are ordinary resolutions; Resolutions 17 to 19 are special resolutions. I set out below further information on certain of the resolutions proposed.

ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS

Resolution 3 (Declaration of final dividend)

Pursuant to the Board's recommendation, the authority sought from shareholders under this Resolution is to declare a final dividend of 4.30 pence per ordinary share for the financial year ended 31 December 2017. If approved, the final dividend will be paid on 27 April 2018 to those shareholders on the Company's statutory register of members as at the close of business on 3 April 2018.

Resolutions 4 to 13 (Re-election of Directors)

The Board notes that the UK Corporate Governance Code (the "Code"), which applies to the Company, requires that all directors of FTSE 350 companies be subject to annual re-election by shareholders. Accordingly, resolutions 4 to 13 propose the reelection of each of the Directors.

I can confirm to shareholders that, following a formal performance evaluation, the performance of each of the Directors continues to be effective and demonstrates commitment to their roles.

Biographies of all the Directors proposed to be elected and re-elected are set out on pages 46 and 47 of the Annual Report.

Dual Voting System

The Company is required to comply with the provisions of the UK Listing Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority (the "Listing Rules") relating to controlling shareholders and the election or re-election of independent directors. Listing Rule 9.2.2E requires that the election or re-election of an independent director by the shareholders be approved by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders as a whole and separately approved by the non-controlling shareholders. For the purposes of the Listing Rules, certain companies directly held and beneficially owned by the Sten and Karin Mortstedt Family and Charity Trust control more than 30% of the voting rights of the Company. This means that any resolutions for the election or re-election of any independent directors must be approved by a majority vote of both:

• i) the shareholders of the Company; and
• ii) the independent shareholders of the Company (that is, the shareholders of the Company entitled to vote on the election of directors who are not controlling shareholders of the Company).

Therefore, resolutions 9, 10, 11 and 13 are being proposed as ordinary resolutions which all shareholders can vote on, but in addition the Company will separately count the number of votes cast by independent shareholders in favour of the resolution (as a proportion of the total votes cast by independent shareholders cast on the resolution) to determine whether the second threshold referred to in ii) above has been met. The Company will announce the results of those resolutions on this basis as well as announcing the results of the ordinary resolutions of all shareholders.

If a resolution to re-elect an independent director is not approved by a majority vote of both the shareholders as a whole and the independent shareholders, the Company may propose a further resolution to re-elect that director at a meeting to be held between 90 and 120 days from the date of the original vote. Therefore, if either resolution 9, 10, 11 or 13 is not approved by a majority of the independent shareholders at the AGM, the relevant director will be treated as having been re-elected only from the period of the date of the AGM to the earlier of:

• i) the close of any general meeting of the Company, convened for a date more than 90 days after the AGM, but within 120 days of the AGM, to propose a further resolution to re-elect the relevant director;
• ii) the date which is 120 days after the AGM; and
• iii) the date of any announcement by the Board that it does not intend to hold a second vote.

In the event that the director's re-election is approved by a majority vote of all shareholders at a second meeting, the director will then be re-elected until the next AGM.

PART I continued LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF CLS HOLDINGS PLC

CLS HOLDINGS PLC (THE "COMPANY") (INCORPORATED AND REGISTERED IN ENGLAND WITH REGISTERED NUMBER 2714781)

The Company is also required to provide certain information in relation to the proposed re-election of independent directors, being Malcolm Cooper, Elizabeth Edwards, Christopher Jarvis and Lennart Sten. This includes details of any existing or previous relationship, transaction or arrangement the independent director has with the Company, its directors, any controlling shareholder or an associate of a controlling shareholder, together with a description of why the Company considers the independent directors will be effective, how it has determined their independence and the process followed for their selection. The Company:

• i) is satisfied, having received confirmation from each of the independent directors who are seeking re-election, that those independent directors do not, and have not previously had, any relationship, transaction or arrangement with the Company, its directors, any controlling shareholder or any associate of a controlling shareholder;
• ii) believes that these appointments have strengthened its knowledge base, broadened its experience and they each continue to add value to Board discussions. Each independent director's biography is set out on pages 46 and 47 of the Annual Report, which outlines their relevant experience;
• iii) following a rigorous review of the relationships or circumstances which are likely to affect, or could appear to affect, the directors judgement, determined that each of the proposed directors are independent for the purpose of the Code; and
• iv) reviewed a list of suitable candidates identified through external contacts, which was followed up by an interview process that included meetings with the senior independent director and other independent directors.

Resolution 16 (Renewal of the Board's authority to allot shares)

It is proposed to authorise the Board to allot shares or grant such subscription rights as are contemplated by sections 551(1) (a) and (b) respectively of the Act up to a maximum aggregate nominal value of £3,394,964 representing one-third of the issued share capital of the Company excluding treasury shares (as set out in the paragraph entitled "Further information" below). This is the maximum permitted amount under best practice corporate governance guidelines. This will replace the equivalent resolution passed at the last annual general meeting and will expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting or at 6:00 p.m. on 25 July 2019, whichever is the earlier. Your Directors have no present intention of exercising this authority.

SPECIAL RESOLUTIONS

Resolution 17 (Disapplication of pre-emption rights)

It is proposed to empower the Board to allot equity securities for cash without first offering them to existing shareholders in proportion to their holdings, subject to certain limits which comply with best practice corporate governance guidelines. This Resolution will enable the Board, in appropriate circumstances, to allot for cash (other than in connection with a rights issue or open offer) equity securities with an aggregate nominal value of up to £509,244, being up to 20,369,760 ordinary shares of 2.5 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") and representing approximately five per cent. of the issued equity share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares). The allotment of equity securities as referred to in this resolution includes the sale of any shares which the Company holds in treasury. The Resolution also disapplies the statutory pre-emption provisions in connection with a rights issue or open offer and allows the Directors, in the case of a rights issue or open offer, to make appropriate arrangements in relation to fractional entitlements or other legal or practical problems. This will replace the equivalent resolution passed at the last annual general meeting and will expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting or at 6:00 p.m. on 25 July 2019, whichever is the earlier. It is intended that in any three year period no more than seven and a half per cent. of the issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) will be issued on a non-pre-emptive basis.

This Resolution is proposed so as to give your Board flexibility to take advantage of business opportunities as they arise.

Resolution 18 (Renewal of general authority to make market purchases of Ordinary Shares)

It is proposed to renew the authority to make market purchases of Ordinary Shares, such authority being limited to the purchase of 10 per cent. of the Ordinary Shares in issue as at 22 March 2018. Shares purchased further to this authority will be cancelled, unless the Company decides otherwise, in which case they may be held as treasury shares, subject to any applicable limits. No dividends are paid on shares while held in treasury and no voting rights attach to treasury shares.

The minimum price which may be paid for any Ordinary Shares pursuant to this authority will be 2.5 pence (being an amount equal to the nominal value of an Ordinary Share). The maximum price which may be paid for any Ordinary Share is the higher of an amount equal to 5 per cent. above the average of the closing middle-market quotations for the Ordinary Shares as derived from SEDOL for the five dealing days immediately preceding the day on which the purchase is made, and an amount equal to a price no higher than the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid on the London Stock Exchange Trading System SETS, in each case exclusive of expenses.

The maximum per cent. aggregate number of Ordinary Shares hereby authorised to be purchased is 40,739,576 Ordinary Shares (representing 10 per cent. of the Ordinary Shares in issue as at 22 March 2018).

The authority to purchase the Company's own shares will only be exercised if the Directors consider that there is likely to be a beneficial impact on earnings per Ordinary Share and that it is in the best interests of the Company at the time. The Directors have no present intention of exercising this authority.

During the year to 31 December 2017 the Company did not make any market purchases of its own shares pursuant to its general authority to make market purchases.

Resolution 19 (Ability to hold general meetings on 14 clear days' notice)

It is proposed to seek authority from shareholders to hold general meetings (other than Annual General Meetings) on 14 clear days' notice. This is permissible under the existing Articles of Association of the Company and the Act. Under the Companies Act 2006, specific shareholder approval is required annually in order to retain this option. The Directors believe that there may be circumstances in which it will be important for the Company to be able to call meetings at such short notice. Accordingly, the Directors believe that it is important for the Company to retain this flexibility.

The Company will only use the shorter notice period where it is merited by the purpose of the meeting, the proposals are time sensitive and it would clearly be to the advantage of shareholders as a whole.

• 1. Any member attending the meeting has the right to ask questions. The company must cause to be answered any such question relating to the business being dealt with at the meeting but no such answer need be given if (a) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information, (b) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question, or (c) it is undesirable in the interests of the company or the good order of the meeting that the question be answered.

• 1. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the Meeting and any adjournment(s) thereof by utilising the procedures described in the CREST Manual.

In order for a proxy appointment made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual (www.euroclear.com). The message must be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID 3RA50), by 10.00 a.m. on Monday, 23 April 2018.

CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear UK & Ireland does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed (a) voting service provider(s), to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 (as amended). Please refer to the CREST Manual at www.euroclear.com.
