CVS Group plc

("CVS", the "Company" or the "Group")

Posting of Annual Report, Notice of Annual General Meeting, and Dividend Timetable

CVS, one of the UK's leading providers of integrated veterinary services, announces that its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") will be held at The Pennoyer Centre, Station Road, Pulham St Mary, Norfolk, IP21 4QT, on 24 November 2021 at 11:00 a.m.

The Annual Report and Accounts for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 (the "Annual Report"), the Notice of AGM and proxy form were sent on 29 October 2021 to those shareholders who have requested hard copies.  Shareholders who have elected to receive shareholder information electronically have been notified that the Annual Report and Notice of AGM are available on the Company's website at: https://www.cvsukltd.co.uk/investor-centre, and the forms of proxy are available to shareholders on request by contacting company.secretary@cvsvets.com.

The AGM is being held as a physical meeting.  However, in light of ongoing uncertainty, the Company strongly encourages shareholders to submit a proxy vote in advance of the AGM and to appoint the Chair of the meeting as their proxy, rather than a named person who may not be able to attend the meeting if circumstances change.  Full details of voting arrangements are contained in the Notice of AGM.

As indicated in the full year results announcement on 23 September 2021, the Board is proposing a dividend of 6.5 pence per share.  Subject to shareholder approval at the AGM, the dividend will be paid on Friday, 3 December 2021 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on Friday, 19 November 2021. 

Accordingly, the ex-dividend date will be Thursday, 18 November 2021.
