CELLSTAR ANNOUNCES THE RESULTS OF ITS SPECIAL MEETING OF
STOCKHOLDERS

COPPELL, TEXAS — March 29, 2007 — CellStar Corporation (OTC Pink Sheets: CLST) today announced that during its Special Meeting of stockholders, which was held yesterday, holders of a majority of the outstanding CellStar common stock voted to approve the U.S. Sale Agreement, the Mexico Sale Agreement, the Liquidation and Dissolution proposal, and the amendment of CellStar’s Certificate of Incorporation to change the corporate name to CLST Holdings, Inc.  Of the 21,158,740 shares issued and outstanding as of the record date, the Company received the affirmative vote of over 13.0 million shares for each of the proposals.

On December 18, 2006, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of the assets of its U.S. and Miami-based Latin American operations to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brightpoint, Inc. (NASDAQ:CELL).  The Company expects the transaction to close within the next few days upon satisfaction of certain conditions.

The Company also announced on December 18, 2006, that it had entered into an agreement to sell all of its Mexico operations to Soluciones Inalámbricas S.A. de C.V. and Prestadora de Servicios en Administracion y Recursos Humanos, S.A. de C.V for between $20.0 to $22.0 million in cash, based on the 2007 operating performance of the operations up to the closing date.  The Company expects the transaction to close as soon as practicable following the closing of the U.S. Sale transaction.

The Company’s operations in Chile were not part of the above-mentioned transactions.   Consequently, the Company has signed a non-binding letter of intent with a potential buyer and is working on a definitive purchase agreement for the operations in Chile.
