EBT Share Dealings and Total Voting Rights

Eckoh plc (AIM:ECK), the global provider of Customer Engagement Security Solutions, today announces that, on 16 June 2023, Eckoh's employee benefit trust ("EBT"), purchased 370,000 Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company (the "Shares") at a price of 39.0 pence per Share, to be held on trust for the purpose of satisfying future awards to beneficiaries of the Company's share incentive plan (the "Purchase").

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 Shares.

Following settlement of the above purchase of Shares for the EBT, it will hold a total of 2,708,549 Shares, equivalent to 0.92% per cent. of the Ordinary Share capital of Eckoh.

Total Voting Rights

The Company continues to have a total of 292,909,261 Ordinary Shares in issue. Pursuant to the Purchase, the number of Ordinary Shares held in treasury is 2,351,596 and, as a result, the Ordinary Shares in issue carrying voting rights will be 290,557,665. Shareholders may use this figure of 290,557,665 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.

As a global provider of Customer Engagement Data Security Solutions, Eckoh is all about making the world of data more secure.  

Our vision is that everyone should be able to trust every brand and engage without risk to their personal information. We're on a mission to set the standard for secure interactions between consumers and the world's leading brands, and our innovative products build trust and deliver value though exceptional experiences. 

We're trusted by many of the world's leading brands to help them manage the personal data from customer enquiries and transactions safely. Our solutions enable payment transactions to be performed securely and help protect sensitive personal data across any customer engagement channel and device the customer chooses.

Protected by multiple patents, our solutions remove sensitive personal and payment data from contact centres and IT environments, as the best way to secure data is not to collect it. This allows organisations to be not just compliant but secure, increase efficiency, lower operational costs, and provide an excellent customer experience.  This is our specialism.

Our solutions are delivered globally through multiple cloud platforms or can be deployed on the client's site. They offer merchants a simple and effective way to reduce the risk of fraud, secure sensitive data and become compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards ("PCI DSS") and wider data security regulations.  Eckoh has been a PCI DSS Level One Accredited Service Provider since 2010, and our extensive portfolio of typically large enterprise clients spans a broad range of vertical markets including government departments, telecoms providers, retailers, utility providers and financial services organisations.
