Eckoh plc
("Eckoh", the "Group" or the "Company")
Exercise of Options and Directors' Shareholdings
Eckoh announces that it has issued 6,423,974 new ordinary shares
in the capital of the Company (the "New Shares") following an
exercise of share options by Nik Philpot; Chief Executive Officer
of the Company. The options being exercised were granted under the
2012 Eckoh plc Long Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and the number
of New 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
Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, with dealings expected to
commence on 20 June 2017 ("Admission").
In addition, the Company also announces the following dealings
by certain Eckoh Directors.
-- Of the New Shares issued to Nik Philpot, 5,402,562 were sold
on 13 June 2017 at a price of 44 pence, principally to cover the
tax charge incurred immediately following the option exercise, and
the balance of 1,021,412 were retained. As a result, Nik has
increased his ordinary share holding in the Company by 17.4% to
6,876,285 ordinary shares, which will represent 2.74% of the
Company's total voting rights, as enlarged following Admission.
-- Chris Batterham, Non-Executive Chairman, notified Eckoh that
on 13 June 2017 he sold 800,000 existing ordinary shares in the
capital of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") at a price of 44
pence per Ordinary Share. This represents the first ever disposal
for Chris, having steadily increased his holding since his
appointment in July 2009 and is done in anticipation of his already
announced retirement from the Eckoh board at the forthcoming annual
general meeting. Following this sale, Chris holds 200,000 Ordinary
Shares, representing 0.08 per cent. of the Company's total voting
rights, as enlarged following Admission.
-- Finally, Christopher Humphrey, Non-Executive Director and to
be appointed Non-Executive Chairman following the Group's annual
general meeting in September, notified Eckoh that on 13 June 2017
he purchased 200,000 Ordinary Shares at a price of 44 pence per
Ordinary Share. Following this purchase, Christopher holds a total
of 250,000 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.10 per cent. of the
Company's total voting rights, as enlarged following Admission.
Following Admission, the Company will have a total of
250,723,520 Ordinary Shares in issue each carrying one voting
right. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in Treasury.
Shareholders may use this figure of 250,723,520 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 and Transparency Rules.
