Exercise of Options and Total Voting Rights

CVS, the UK's leading provider of integrated veterinary services, was notified on 2 January 2015 that on that date, Simon Innes, Chief Executive Officer, together with certain other employees of the Company, exercised in aggregate 115,034 options over ordinary shares of 0.2 pence each ("Shares") at an exercise price of 95.4 pence per Share under the Company's 2011/2014 Save as You Earn Scheme. Simon Innes exercised options over 9,430 Shares.

The exercise of these options will be satisfied via the Company's block listing which was announced on 9 December 2014.

As a result of this exercise, the Company's total issued share capital consists of 59,023,990 Shares with one voting right per share. The Company does not hold any Shares in Treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 59,023,990. 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.

Following this exercise, Simon Innes is interested in 555,905 Shares in the Company, representing 0.94 per cent of the total voting rights of the Company.
