Issue of Equity and Total Voting Rights
Issue of Equity
Milestone, the AIM quoted (AIM: MSG) provider of digital media and technology
solutions, announces that it has agreed to issue 6,200,000 ordinary shares of
0.1 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of
1 penny per Ordinary Share, raising £62,000. The Company has also agreed to
issue a further 1,750,000 Ordinary Shares at a price of 1 penny per Ordinary
Share to certain creditors in lieu of £17,500.00 payable in respect of services
provided for the Company.
Despite the Company's current liability position being reduced as a result of
the issue of equity, the Company continues to be reliant on its ability to
manage the timing of settlement of its liabilities and further fundraisings will
be required in the short term.
Application will be made for, in aggregate, 7,950,000 Ordinary Shares to be
admitted to trading on AIM, which is expected to occur on or around 5 January
2012. Â The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary
Shares of Milestone.

Transparency Rules, following the issue of equity, the Company will have in

The above figure of 297,178,025 ordinary shares may be used by shareholders in
the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine
