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, announces that 19,475 ordinary shares of 0.2 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") (the "New Shares") were issued on 12 December as a result of the exercise of options at 0.2 pence per share by a former employee under the CVS Group Long Term Incentive Plan [2016/2018].

Application has been made for the New Shares, which rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares, to be admitted to trading on AIM which is expected to occur on or around 19 December 2018.

Following issue of the New Shares, the Company's total issued share capital will consist of 70,538,506 Ordinary Shares each carrying one voting right. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in Treasury. Therefore, following the issue of the New Shares, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 70,538,506. 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 and Transparency Rules.
