Eckoh plc
("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.
