The full terms of the disposal are as per the announcement made to the London Stock Exchange by the Company on 29 August 2006. In line with this announcement, Milestone confirms it is on course to complete the sale of the whole of the remainder of its publishing division on or around 15 September 2006. Following the EGM, Andy Craig, Chief Executive, commented: 'The Board is delighted to have successfully completed the disposal of the Property Weekly Business for £1.4 million, almost £0.4 million more than had originally been offered for the whole of Milestone's publishing division. This improved price reflects the Board's unstinting commitment to achieving maximum value, and follows the Company's successful expansion into new territory with the launch of Newbury Property Weekly and new on-line property portals earlier this year. 'Following the disposal of Milestone's publishing division, the Company will continue to operate its television division and will hold significant cash reserves. The Board will seek to complete its ongoing review of future strategy over the coming weeks, continuing to explore all opportunities to ensure the best interests of Shareholders are served, including evaluating potential opportunities to realise the value of the Company's local television holdings and AIM listing.'
