ANIMALCARE GROUP PLC

 

 ("Animalcare" or the "Company")

 

Option Exercise, PDMR Dealing, Admission and Total Voting Rights

 

16 May 2024. Animalcare Group plc (AIM: ANCR), the international animal health
business, announces that on 15 May 2024, options over a total of 221,857
ordinary shares of 20p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") held under the
Company's Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) were exercised by Jennifer Winter,
Chief Executive Officer, and Chris Brewster, Chief Financial Officer, both
PDMRs.

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the admission of
221,857 Ordinary Shares ("New Ordinary Shares") to trading on AIM
("Admission") and it is expected that Admission of the New Ordinary Shares
will become effective and trading will commence at 8.00am on 22 May 2024.

Subsequent to the exercise of options, Jennifer Winter sold 95,220 Ordinary
Shares at a price of £2.25 per Ordinary Share to cover the income tax and
National Insurance liability resulting from the exercise of the
above-mentioned options and Chris Brewster sold 65,245 Ordinary Shares at a
price of £2.25 per Ordinary Share.

Following the completion of the exercise and sale, the aggregate shareholdings
of Jennifer Winter and Chris Brewster will be:

 Name             Aggregate shareholding (Ordinary Shares)  Percentage of total voting rights
 Jennifer Winter  68,392                                    0.11%
 Chris Brewster   280,513                                   0.46%

The New Ordinary Shares, when issued, will be fully paid and will
rank pari-passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares, including
the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or
paid after the date of issue. The issue and allotment of the New Ordinary
Shares will be within the Company's existing authorities.

Total Voting Rights

Subsequent to Admission, there will be 60,374,268 Ordinary Shares in issue
with voting rights. No shares are held in treasury.  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 share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure
and Transparency Rules.
