CLS Holdings USA Announces Up-Listing to OTCQB Marketplace

Upgrades Financial and Corporate Disclosure

BOULDER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / July 22, 2015 / CLS Holdings USA, Inc. (OTCQB: CLSH), a diversified cannabis company, has successfully up-listed to the OTCQB Marketplace. CLS stands for "Cannabis Life Sciences", as the Company has developed a proprietary method of extracting various cannabinoids from the marijuana plant and converting them into higher quality and quantity. The Company's mission is to be the industry leader in the extraction, conversion and marketing of cannabinoid oils, wax, edibles and shatter by leveraging our extraction methods and conversion processes.

"Following our recent completion of the reverse merger and attaining a public listing, we quickly followed through with our intention to up-list to the OTCQB," said Jeff Binder, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of CLS Holdings USA. "CLS Holdings USA is committed to the high level of financial and corporate disclosure that is required for this listing category, which demonstrates our continued commitment to our shareholders. We believe that trading on the OTCQB will raise the visibility of the Company, enhance trading liquidity, and broaden our shareholder base as we move forward with continued market acceptance and penetration of proprietary technology into the marketplace."

"This milestone opens the doors to institutional investors and market makers who were not previously able to buy and sell shares of our Company. Now they may execute on unsolicited orders and also make recommendations to clients as they so choose. It also now gives individual investors an ability to trade shares of our Company. Meeting the increased compliance and information requirements of OTCQB provides our investors greater confidence in the information disclosed by the Company and ensures our commitment to accountability and transparency. We will continue working towards our goals of uplisting in the future to a stock exchange such as the NASDAQ in the future," added Jeff Binder.

In 2014, OTC Markets Group introduced standards and eligibility requirements for OTCQB with the goal of making it a better venture marketplace. To be eligible, companies must be current in their reporting to a U.S. or foreign regulator, pass a minimum bid price test of one penny ($0.01) and undergo an annual verification and management certification process providing additional information about the company's insiders, advisors and share count. Companies that are approved to trade on OTCQB receive access to additional premium services to help them build visibility and improve transparency for investors.
