CLS Holdings plc ("CLS")

Change of Auditor

 

CLS Holdings plc has completed a formal tender process to appoint a new
external audit firm.  As a result of that process, the Board has today
accepted the resignation of its current auditor, Ernst & Young LLP ("EY"),
and approved the appointment of BDO LLP ("BDO") as its new external auditor
for the year ending 31 December 2024, with immediate effect.

The statement as required by s.519 of the Companies Act 2006 that confirms
there are no reasons for and no matters connected with them ceasing to hold
office as auditors that they consider need to be brought to the attention of
the Company's creditors or members will shortly be available for inspection
on the National Storage Mechanism website
at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
(https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism)

Shareholder approval to confirm the appointment of BDO as its external auditor
will be sought at the 2025 Annual General Meeting in mid-April 2025.

Bill Holland, Chair of the CLS's Audit Committee, commented:

"The Board would like to thank EY for their work as auditor over the last 3
years and we look forward to working with BDO."
