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, confirms that certain
employees have exercised options during August under the CVS Group
2020 SAYE Plan (2020/2024) totalling 623 ordinary shares of 0.2
pence each ("Ordinary Shares").
The sum of 623 new Ordinary Shares
were issued to satisfy the balance of Ordinary Shares arising from
the SAYE Exercise. Admission of the 623 new Ordinary Shares
has been satisfied by the Company's block listing admitted to the
London Stock Exchange on 30 December 2021.
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 71,738,224 Ordinary Shares, each carrying one
voting right. The Company holds no Ordinary Shares in treasury and
the total number of voting rights is therefore
71,738,224.
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.
