EBT Share Dealing, Exercise of Options and Total Voting Rights

Eckoh plc (AIM:ECK), the global provider of secure payment products and customer contact solutions, today announces that on 22 November 2023, Eckoh's employee benefit trust (“EBT"), purchased 366,000 Ordinary Shares of 0.25p each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), at a price of approximately 36.25 pence per Ordinary Share, to be held on trust for the purpose of satisfying future awards to beneficiaries of the Company's share incentive plan (the "EBT Shares").

As Nik Philpot (CEO) and Chrissie Herbert (CFO) are trustees and administrators of the EBT, they are therefore treated as having an interest in the EBT Shares.

Following settlement of the purchase of EBT Shares (and Admission of New Ordinary Shares described below), the EBT will hold a total of 2,964,910 Ordinary Shares, equivalent to 1.02 per cent. of the Ordinary Share capital of Eckoh.

Exercise of Options

Further, Eckoh has issued 40,000 new Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company (the "New Ordinary Shares"), following an exercise of share options by an employee on 21 November 2023.

The options being exercised were granted under the 2017 Eckoh plc Performance Share Plan and the number of New Ordinary Shares that ultimately vested was subject to a Total Shareholder Return performance condition, measured over a 3-year performance period.

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, with dealings expected to commence on 27 November 2023 ("Admission").

Total Voting Rights

Following Admission, the Company will have a total of 292,949,261 Ordinary Shares in issue. Pursuant to the purchase of EBT Shares, the number of Ordinary Shares held in treasury is 2,510,247 and, as a result, the Ordinary Shares in issue carrying voting rights will be 290,439,014. Shareholders may use this figure of 290,439,014 Ordinary Shares as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
