CVS Group plc (the "Company") announces that as part of its all employee Save As You Earn share scheme (the "SAYE Scheme"), Richard Fairman, finance director, elected to participate in the SAYE scheme and was granted 737 SAYE Scheme options.
Eligible employees were invited to subscribe for options over ordinary shares of 0.2 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") with an option price of 830 pence per share, representing a 10% discount to the share price which was calculated using the closing share price prior to the 5th November 2018, being the invite date.
Pursuant to this, a total of 425,974 SAYE Scheme options over Ordinary Shares were granted on 29 November 2018, equating to 0.6% of the current issued ordinary share capital.
The attached notifications, made in accordance with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation, give further detail of the number of options granted on 29 May 2018 under the SAYE Scheme.
In conformity with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 5.6.1, the Company notifies the market of the following: The Company's total issued share capital is 70,519,031 ordinary shares of 0.2 pence each with one voting right per share. The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in Treasury. This figure of 70,519,031 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.
