 1  The Ordinary Shares reserved under the CVS Group SAYE block listing will
satisfy the exercise of option awards under the Company's SAYE Plan that
commenced in 2018, having been approved by shareholders in general meeting on
30 November 2017 (as previously announced on 22 December 2021).

 

Total Voting Rights

The number of securities that have been issued during the block listing review
period stated above includes 43,087 new Ordinary Shares issued in connection
with the exercise of employee share options under the CVS Group plc 2019-2023
SAYE Sharesave Scheme and 3,704 new Ordinary Shares issued in connection with
the exercise of employee options under the CVS Long Term Incentive Plan 2017.

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 71,427,191 Ordinary Shares, each carrying one voting
right.  The Company holds no Ordinary Shares in treasury so the total number
of voting rights is therefore 71,427,191.

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.
