("Eckoh" or the "Group")

 

EBT Share Dealings and Total Voting Rights

 

 

Eckoh plc (AIM:ECK), the global provider of Customer Engagement Security
Solutions, today announces that, between 14 June 2024 and 17 June 2024,
Eckoh's employee benefit trust ("EBT"), purchased a total of 333,000 Ordinary
Shares in the capital of the Company (the "Shares") at an average price of
41.97 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 2,556,287 Shares, equivalent to 0.87% per cent. of the Ordinary
Share capital of Eckoh.

 

Total Voting Rights

 

The Company continues to have a total of 292,949,261 Ordinary Shares in issue.
Pursuant to the Purchase, the number of Ordinary Shares held in treasury is
2,382,224 and, as a result, the Ordinary Shares in issue carrying voting
rights will be 290,567,037. Shareholders may use this figure of 290,567,037
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.

About Eckoh plc

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 through
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.
