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 December under the CVS Group 2020 SAYE Plan (2020/2024) totalling 1,843 ordinary shares of 0.2 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"). One employee also exercised options under the CVS Group 2022 SAYE Plan (2022/2026) totalling 134 Ordinary Shares of 0.2 pence each

The issuance of shares in connection with the SAYE Exercise was fully satisfied by 1,977 Ordinary Shares held by the CVS Group Employee Benefit Trust (the "EBT"). Following the SAYE Exercise, a total of 54,678 Ordinary Shares are held by the EBT, representing approximately 0.076% of the Company's total voting rights.

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 71,537,662 Ordinary Shares, each carrying one voting right. The Company holds no Ordinary Shares in treasury and the total number of voting rights is therefore 71,537,662.

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.
