Sharesave Maturity 2021

DEAR COLLEAGUE,

I am pleased to confirm that your CVS Group plc SAYE Plan (Sharesave) will mature 1 January 2021
(assuming that all payments have been received by YBS Share Plans*).

In this brochure you will find everything you need to know, the choices available to you and how to
provide your instruction to YBS Share Plans.
                                                                                                               Your
You don’t have to make your choice(s) straight away however; you will have six months from the          Fixed Exercise Price
Maturity Date after which time your Option to purchase shares at the fixed Exercise Price will lapse.

It is your responsibility to monitor the price of CVS Group plc (CVS) shares before deciding whether
or not to purchase any, but at the time of producing this document, the share price as quoted on the
                                                                                                            £12.87
London Stock Exchange was higher than the fixed Exercise Price of £12.87.

There is no guarantee that this will still be the case by the time you exercise your Options.

Please note that YBS Share Plans will not be able to advise you on the best course of action for you.
If you are unsure about purchasing shares or your tax position, you should consult an Independent
Financial Adviser.

* If you have missed any payments your maturity will be delayed by 1 month for every payment missed.

REMEMBER!
You don’t have to make up your mind straight away; you are able to purchase shares at the fixed
Exercise Price for up to six months following the Maturity Date shown on your account online. Please
note however that you will need to allow sufficient time for the processing of your instructions before
your Option lapses and therefore it is recommended that you submit your instructions no later than
21 days prior to the Option Lapse Date which is also shown on your account online.

Please note that if you decide to exercise your Option and purchase the shares, that the value of
your shares and any income from them can go down as well as up and that you may not recover
the amount of your original investment. Past performance is no indication of future performance.
It is recommended that you monitor the price of CVS Group plc shares regularly before deciding
whether or not to purchase shares at the fixed Exercise Price.

1      Purchase & Keep
Purchase the shares available at the fixed Exercise Price
and KEEP all or some of them and receive a share certificate

If you select this choice, you will be using the savings in your Sharesave account to purchase the
CVS Group plc shares to which you are entitled, and to keep them in the form of a share certificate;
this is otherwise known as ‘exercising your Option’.

When your share certificate arrives you have the choice to either hold on to the shares or to sell the
shares. You’re able to use any broker of your choosing to sell the shares but details of the Jarvis ‘Dial
and Deal’ service (for the sale of certificated shares) follow later in this document for
your convenience.

If you retain the shares, as a shareholder of CVS you’ll be entitled to receive dividends (if and when
they are paid) and have the chance to vote on important issues at General Meetings.

The exercise of share Options is an involved process and therefore it may take a little time for YBS
Share Plans to complete this process with CVS and their share registrars. YBS Share Plans cannot be
held responsible for any adverse movements in the share price during this period. Once the share
exercise process is complete CVS registrars will issue you with a share certificate in your name. Please
allow up to 30 days from the completion of the exercise process for receipt your share certificate.

2      Purchase & Sell
Purchase the shares available at the fixed Exercise Price and SELL all
or some of them via the share dealing service being offered by Jarvis

If you select this choice, you will be using the savings in your Sharesave account to purchase and
sell all or some of the CVS Group plc shares to which you are entitled, using the share dealing service
being offered by Jarvis Share Dealing Services (‘Jarvis’).

Jarvis will charge you a flat fee of £20.00 for the sale of your shares of which YBS Share Plans will
receive a £12.10 share to cover their administration costs and this will be deducted from your sale
proceeds before the balance is paid directly into the bank account you specify online; Jarvis do not
offer cheque settlement.

If you decide to sell shares using this service you can set a ‘Limit Price’, which is a minimum price
below which Jarvis will not sell your shares. This does not mean that your shares will be sold at this
price; Jarvis will sell at the maximum price(s) prevailing at the time the sale is placed in the market.
Your limit order will be held for 10 business days. If Jarvis cannot sell your shares at or above your
Limit Price within this time period, your limit order will be cancelled and you will receive a share
 certificate for the unsold shares approximately 14 calendar days later. Please refer to section 8 of
the Jarvis SAYE Sale Facility Terms and Conditions for further details. Please take the time to read
this document before proceeding with this choice.

3      Not Purchase Shares
Choose not to purchase shares and receive a refund of funds
by bank transfer

You don’t have to purchase CVS Group plc shares. If you prefer, you can simply take back your sav-
ings.

If YBS Share Plans have bank details registered against your Sharesave account your savings will
be returned to you by bank transfer. If we don’t have a record of your bank details, you’ll be asked to
provide these when you provide your closure instruction online.

For this choice only, call the YBS Share Plans helpline on 0345 1 200 300 and close your account over
the phone.

If you choose to close your account and take back your savings, you still retain the right to purchase
shares at the fixed Exercise Price during the 6 months immediately following your Maturity Date.

If you decide to follow this course of action you’ll need to call the YBS Share Plans helpline to make
the necessary arrangements.

What about tax?
Under current legislation there is no Income Tax to pay as a result of purchasing your shares or taking your
savings. You may however have to pay Capital Gains Tax (CGT) if you sell your shares at a profit (this is the
difference between the cost of purchasing your shares and the price you sell them for minus any sale
expenses).

HM Revenue & Customs currently allows you to make a certain level of capital gains in each tax year without
being taxed. If your gain (which must include any other gains you have made within the tax year) exceeds the
annual exemption limit, you will have to pay tax on any gain above this limit.

The CGT limit for the 2020/2021 tax year is £12,300. Further information can be found on the HM Revenue &
Customs website (www.hmrc.gov.uk).

If your total capital gains exceed the annual exemption amount in any single tax year, they should be
reported to HM Revenue & Customs, whether you receive a tax return or not. You may however be able to
minimise your liability to CGT by; selling some of your shares in one tax year and the rest in other tax years,
by giving some of your shares to your spouse or civil partner for them to sell and set against their annual CGT
exemption, or by transferring shares into a Stocks and Shares ISA (subject to applicable limits) within 90 days
of the date your share Option was exercised.
What about tax?
The sale of shares within an ISA is free of CGT. For the 2020/21
tax year the maximum value of shares you can transfer into a
Stock and Shares ISA is £20,000 (this limit may change in
future years). The value of the shares will be based on the
market value on the date the shares are transferred into the ISA.
If you’d like to follow any of the courses of action described
above then please note you’ll have to choose to receive a
share certificate (Choice 1) and make your own private
arrangements on receipt. If you want to transfer your shares to
a Stocks and Shares ISA you’ll need a Letter of Appropriation
from YBS Share Plans to confirm the shares are being
transferred from a Sharesave within the 90 day period
permitted. You’ll need to forward this to your chosen ISA
provider together with your share certificate.
If you like any further help with these options, please call the
YBS Share Plan Helpline on
0345 1 200 300.
