EBT and ESPP Share Dealings and Total Voting Rights

Eckoh plc (AIM:ECK), the global provider of secure payment products and customer contact solutions, today announces that, on 20 December 2021, Eckoh's employee benefit trust ("EBT"), purchased 165,940 Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company (the "Shares") at a price of approximately 54.0 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 2,065,705 Shares, equivalent to 0.08 per cent. of the Ordinary Share capital of Eckoh.

Further to the establishment of the US Employee Share Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), also on 20 December 2021, Eckoh purchased 53,766 Shares at a price of 54.0 pence per Share.

Chrissie Herbert is a member of the Committee that administers the ESPP.

Following settlement of the above purchase of Shares for the ESPP, it will hold a total of 109,247 Shares, equivalent to 0.04 per cent. of the Ordinary Share capital of Eckoh.

Total Voting Rights

The Company continues to have a total of 256,666,621 Ordinary Shares in issue. Pursuant to the Purchase, the number of Ordinary Shares held in treasury is 1,903,158 and, as a result, the Ordinary Shares in issue carrying voting rights will be 254,763,463. Shareholders may use this figure of 254,763,463 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. A revised Total Voting Rights figure will be provided when the admission of the shares relating to the announcement on the 15 December 2021 has been completed.
