Appointment of Joni Newkirk as Non-Executive Director

accesso Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO), the premier technology solutions
provider for attractions and venues worldwide, today announces the appointment
of Joni Newkirk as a Non-Executive Director of the Group, effective 22 April
2026.

With over 35 years of experience across the global attractions and hospitality
sectors, Joni brings deep industry relationships and unique expertise in data
analytics, pricing, and revenue management. Her experience will be invaluable
to the Group as it deepens its focus on providing data-led insight and impact
to its customers following the recent acquisition of Dexibit.

Most recently, Joni served as CEO and co-founder of Integrated Insight, Inc.,
a management consulting firm specialising in pricing, revenue management,
consumer insights, and data analytics for consumer-facing service industries -
particularly travel, leisure, and entertainment - which she led from its
founding in 2009 to its sale in 2026.

Prior to founding Integrated Insight, Joni spent approximately 20 years at
Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, where she rose to Senior Vice President of
Business Insight and Improvement, responsible for managing and driving over $8
billion in revenue across Disney's worldwide theme parks, resorts and cruise
lines. During her time at Disney, Joni led "Magic Your Way", one of the most
significant revenue strategy transformations in The Walt Disney Company's
history, and initiated the development of Disney's Operational Command Center
to optimise queue times and guest flow.

Commenting on the appointment, Bill Russell, Non-Executive Chairman, stated:

"We are delighted to welcome Joni to the Board. Few people in our industry can
match the depth of experience she brings - having spent two decades at the
highest levels of Disney Parks and Resorts, where she was responsible for
driving over $8 billion in revenue, before going on to build a successful
consulting business advising leading attractions operators worldwide. Her
combination of deep industry knowledge, commercial acumen, and analytical
rigour will be a tremendous asset to the Board."

Joni Newkirk added:

"Having worked with attractions operators for over 35 years, I have seen
first-hand the transformative impact that data-driven decision making can have
on both commercial performance and the guest experience. accesso's technology
platform, combined with its growing focus on intelligence and analytics,
creates a genuinely differentiated proposition. I look forward to contributing
to the next phase of growth."

ticketing, point-of-sale, virtual queuing, distribution and experience
management software.

Many of our team members have direct, hands-on experience working in the
venues we serve. In this way, we are experienced operators who run a
technology company serving attractions operators, versus a technology company
that happens to serve the market. From our agile development team to our
dedicated client service specialists, every team member knows that their
passion, integrity, commitment, teamwork and innovation are what drive our
success.
