CB RICHARD ELLIS GROUP, INC. ANNOUNCES

PRELIMINARY SECOND QUARTER 2009 GUIDANCE

Los Angeles, CA – June 10, 2009 — CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc. (NYSE:CBG) today announced that it anticipates diluted earnings per share attributable to its shareholders, excluding one time items, will be in the range of approximately breakeven to $0.07 for the second quarter of 2009. This compares to diluted earnings per share attributable to its shareholders, excluding one time items, of $0.16 per share for the second quarter of 2008.

Since the second quarter of 2009 has not yet been completed, and given the inherent nature of the Company’s sales and lease transaction businesses, which tend to recognize a significant portion of their revenue toward the end of a reporting period, as well as the continuing difficult and uncertain market environment, this forecast is highly preliminary. Accordingly, it is very possible that actual results for the second quarter of 2009 may vary from the forward-looking information contained in this press release.
