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, confirms that certain employees have exercised options during July under the Company's Save As You Earn (SAYE) 2021 scheme (together, the "SAYE Exercise") totalling 14,510 ordinary shares of 0.2 pence each ("Ordinary Shares").
646 options exercised were satisfied using the Company's Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT") which now holds 64 shares. Admission of the other 13,864 new Ordinary Shares has been satisfied via the Company's existing block listing.
Following the issue of these new Ordinary Shares, which rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares, the Company has a total issued share capital of 70,767,646 Ordinary Shares, each carrying one voting right. The Company holds no Ordinary Shares in treasury and the total number of voting rights is therefore 70,767,646.
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, or a change to their interest, in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
