EBT Share Dealing, Issue 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 15 June 2021, Eckoh's employee benefit trust ("EBT"), purchased 175,000 Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company (the "Shares"), at a price of approximately 68.5 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 Purchase of Shares for the EBT, it will hold a total of 2,036,710 Shares, equivalent to 0.80 per cent. of the Ordinary Share capital of Eckoh.

Issue of Options

Further, Eckoh has issued 109,744 new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (the "New Ordinary Shares"), following an exercise of share options by an employee.

The options being exercised were granted under the 2012 Eckoh Long Term Incentive Plan and the number of New Ordinary Shares that ultimately vested was subject to the satisfaction of share price targets, which were comfortably exceeded well ahead of the earliest date of exercise, being 1 January 2016.

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, with dealings expected to commence on 22 June 2021 ("Admission").

Total Voting Rights

Following Admission, the Company will have a total of 255,461,000 Ordinary Shares in issue. Pursuant to the Purchase, the number of Ordinary Shares held in treasury is 1,684,567 and, as a result, the Ordinary Shares in issue carrying voting rights will be 253,776,433. Shareholders may use this figure of 253,776,433 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.
