("CVS" or the "Company")

Exercise of Options and Total Voting Rights

CVS, the UK's leading provider of integrated veterinary services, announces that 1,245 ordinary shares of 0.2 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") (the "SAYE Shares") were issued today as a result of the exercise of employee share options, in connection with the Company's 2012/2015 Save As You Earn Scheme.

The SAYE Shares rank pari passu with all existing Ordinary Shares.  The issue of the SAYE Shares has been satisfied via the Company's block listing which was announced on 14 December 2015.

Following issue of the SAYE Shares today, the Company's total issued share capital is 59,992,808 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 59,992,808. 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 and Transparency Rules.
