CVS Group plc
("CVS" or the "Company")
Exercise of Options and Total Voting Rights
CVS, one of the UK's leading providers of integrated veterinary services for small and large animals, confirms that it has issued a total of 14,897 new ordinary shares of 0.2 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") during May, as a result of the exercise of options by certain employees under the Company's Save As You Earn (SAYE) 2015/2018 scheme (the "SAYE Shares").
The SAYE Shares rank pari passu with all existing Ordinary Shares and admission has been satisfied via the Company's block listing, application for which was announced on 19 December 2018.
Following the above new issuance, the Company has a total issued share capital at the date of this announcement of 70,613,969 Ordinary Shares with one voting right per share.
The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. The total number of voting rights is therefore 70,613,969. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
