BLOCK LISTING APPLICATION

London, 8 March 2016: Premier Veterinary Group plc (LSE: PVG) (the "Company") announces that it has made a block listing application to the London Stock Exchange for the admission of up to 1,674,212 ordinary shares of 10 pence each to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities.

The block listing application relates to the following:

Warrants

As part of the arrangements relating to the reverse acquisition by the Company of Premier Veterinary Group Limited (now PVG 2007 Limited) completed in February 2015, warrants were granted over 279,034 ordinary shares of 10 pence each, vesting and becoming exercisable in two equal tranches on 27 February 2016 and 27 February 2017 respectively.

The block listing application is for the total number of shares that could be issued pursuant to the exercise of all of those warrants, representing approximately 2% of the current issued share capital. The application for the admission of these shares has been made in advance for ease of administration.

Further information relating to the warrants can be found in the Company's Annual Report and Accounts 2015 available on its website: www.premiervetgroup.co.uk.

Share options

The block listing application also includes a further 1,395,178 shares, being the total number of shares that could be issued pursuant to the exercise of all options currently outstanding under the 2014 Ark Therapeutics Group plc Enterprise Management Incentive Share Option Plan (the "EMI Plan"). If all the options were exercised, the shares that would be issued would represent approximately 10% of the current issued share capital.

The application for the admission of these shares has been made in advance for ease of administration as all the outstanding options under the EMI Plan vested and became exercisable on 27 February 2016.

Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the warrants and the options under the EMI Plan will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the share capital of the Company.

It is expected that the block admission will become effective on 9 March 2016.
