London, UK, 7 March 2017 (LSE: PVG): Premier Veterinary Group plc (the "Company") announces that on 3 March 2017 it granted 40,000 options over its ordinary shares of 10 pence each to Will Evans, Chief Financial Officer and a Director of the Company, under the Company's Enterprise Management Incentive Share Option Plan, with an exercise price of 238.75 pence per share.
