EBT Share Dealings and Total Voting Rights
Eckoh plc (AIM:ECK), the global provider of Customer Engagement Security Solutions, today announces that, on 23 November 2022, Eckoh's employee benefit trust ("EBT"), purchased 352,000 Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company (the "Shares") at a price of approximately 38 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 2,413,801 Shares, equivalent to 0.82% 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 2,112,632 and, as a result, the Ordinary Shares in issue carrying voting rights will be 290,796,629. Shareholders may use this figure of 290,796,629 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.
