                               Issue of Options                                

Holders Technology plc, (AIM: HDT), announces that on 26 March 2012 it granted
options to acquire 46,598 shares to Victoria Blaisdell, Group Managing
Director, and options to acquire 38,444 shares to Paul Geraghty, Group Finance
Director. The options are granted under the rules of the Key Management
Incentive Plan.

The number of ordinary shares that Ms Blaisdell and Mr Geraghty are entitled to
acquire is determined by reference to the average price of an ordinary share
during the period of 20 dealings days ending with the third anniversary of the
grant of the award (or, in the event of an earlier change of control of the
Company, the price per share payable to shareholders to acquire control). If
that average share price is less than 118 pence, neither Ms Blaisdell nor Mr
Geraghty will have any entitlement to acquire any ordinary shares. If the
average share price is 118 pence, Ms Blaisdell and Mr Geraghty will be entitled
to acquire 4,660 shares and 3,844 shares respectively, and that entitlement
will increase, on a straight line basis, to 46,598 shares and 38,444 shares
respectively where the average share price is 215 pence or higher. Ms Blaisdell
has, at the same time, formally surrendered options granted to her in April
2006 and May 2007 over (in aggregate) 35,000 shares.
