CVS Group plc

("CVS" or the "Company")

Exercise of Options and Total Voting Rights

CVS, the UK's leading provider of integrated veterinary services, announces that 44 ordinary shares of 0.2 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") (the "New Shares") were allotted on 11 October 2016 as a result of the exercise of employee share options by a former employee, in connection with the Company's 2015/2018 Save As You Earn Scheme. 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 17 October 2016.

Following issue of the New Shares, the Company's total issued share capital is 60,000,023 Ordinary Shares with one voting right per share. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 60,000,023. 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.
