[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.
