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.
You have 3 choices... ...for up to six months... 1 2 3 Purchase & Keep Purchase & Sell Not Purchase Shares Purchase the shares available at the fixed Purchase the shares available at the fixed Choose not to purchase shares and receive Exercise Price and KEEP all or some of them Exercise Price and SELL all or some of them a refund of funds by bank transfer and receive a share certificate via the share dealing service being offered by Jarvis WANT TO KEEP SOME OF YOUR SHARES AND SELL THE REST? No problem. Just confirm the number of shares you want to keep and the number you want to sell when making your choices online.
You have 3 choices... 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.
