CVS announces that on 31 December 2025 it purchased the following number of its ordinary shares of 0.2 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") from Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG, London Branch ("Berenberg"), in accordance with the terms of the share buyback programme announced on 24 October 2025 (the "Share Buyback Programme").

Date of purchase:	31/12/2025
Aggregate number of Ordinary Shares purchased:	4,554
Lowest price paid per share (GBp):	1,266.00
Highest price paid per share (GBp):	1,278.00

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 70,706,719 Ordinary Shares in issue and holds no Ordinary Shares in treasury.
