KG, London Branch ("Berenberg"), in accordance with the terms of the share buyback programme announced on 24 October 2025 (the "Share Buyback Programme").

CVS intends to cancel all of the purchased Ordinary Shares.

Following settlement of the above purchases and cancellation of the Ordinary Shares purchased, CVS will have 71,038,131 Ordinary Shares in issue and holds no Ordinary Shares in treasury.
