CVS Group plc
("CVS" or the "Company")
Exercise of Options, Directors' Dealing and Total Voting Rights
CVS, the UK's leading provider of integrated veterinary services, announces that on 2 November 2018, Simon Innes Chief Executive of the Company, together with certain other employees and a former employee of the Company, exercised options at 0.2 pence per share over an aggregate of 146,000 ordinary shares of 0.2 pence each in the Company (the "New Shares"), under the CVS Group Long Term Incentive Plan 2015/2018. Simon Innes exercised options over 57,000 ordinary shares of 0.2p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares").
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 8 November 2018.
Following the issue of the New Shares, the Company's total issued share capital will consist of 70,519,031 Ordinary Shares with one voting right per share. 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 will be 70,519,031. 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.
On 1 November 2018, the Company was notified that, on that date, Simon Innes sold 57,000 Ordinary Shares at a price of £9.10 per Ordinary Share. Following the exercise and the sale, Simon Innes remains interested in 255,266 Ordinary Shares in the Company, representing 0.36 per cent of the total voting rights of the Company following the issue of the New Shares.
The notifications below, made in accordance with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation, provide further detail.
