CVS Group plc

("CVS" or the "Company")

Exercise of Options and Total Voting Rights

CVS, one of the UK's leading providers of integrated veterinary services for small and large animals, announces that 299 ordinary shares of 0.2 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") (the "New Shares") were issued on 12 December 2017 as a result of the exercise of employee share options by two former employees, in connection with the Company's December 2015 - December 2018 (January 2019 Maturity) Save As You Earn Schemes.

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 19 December 2017.

Following issue of the New Shares, the Company's total issued share capital will consist of 63,915,875 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 is 63,915,875. 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.
