                                Hilton Head plc                                

                              Sale of Subsidiary                               

Further to the announcement made by the Company on 7 May 2009, the Company is
pleased to announce that it has exchanged a conditional agreement to sell its
subsidiary, Sicon Limited ("Sicon"), to its management, including Mr Richard
Youngman, formerly Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Subject to the
fulfilment of certain conditions, completion is expected to occur on 12 June
2009.

The Directors of the Company believe that the sale of Sicon to its management
is in the best interests of all shareholders, customers, creditors and staff
and will, post completion, enable both the Company and Sicon to concentrate on
their core competencies. Completion of the transaction is conditional on the
formal approval of the Company's principle investor Trafalgar Capital Partners,
formal approval of the Company's bankers, HBoS and payment of the cash
consideration.

The total consideration is £1,048,937 and is to be satisfied by the transfer of
24,039,640 ordinary shares in Hilton Head to the value of £300,496 with the
balance of £748,442 payable in cash at completion.  The Board is considering
utilising the transferred shares to establish an Employee Benefit Trust and
also as part payment for extended terms with investor Trafalgar Capital
Specialized Investment Fund FIS.

Following implementation of the above proposals, Hilton Head will repay its
overdraft and term loans with HBoS of £613,576 leaving it free of bank debt.

The Directors believe that the sale of Sicon will enable the remaining
subsidiary, Q\Dos Networks Limited to operate its business in a resilient
market space.  The Board expect to build on that platform, maintain focus on
the core competency being the supply, installation and maintenance of business
telephone systems and ancillary hardware and software, in addition to the core
vertical market of Telecoms and IT solutions to the UK Hospitality industry.

A further announcement will be made in due course.
