Milestone Group PLC : Directorate changes

MILESTONE GROUP PLC

("Milestone" or the "Company")

Directorate Changes

Milestone (AIM:MSG), the AIM and Social Stock Exchange quoted provider of digital media and technology, announces the resignation of Deborah White, Chief Executive Officer, and the appointment of Mr Edward Guy Meyer to the Board as Business Development Director with immediate effect.

Resignation of Deborah White

Deborah White, who joined the Board as CEO in 2008, has guided the Company through extensive changes and developments, overseeing the transformation of the Company from analogue broadcasting to being a provider of digital and technology solutions.

With the growing market interest in the Fintech and media publishing capabilities offered by the Company's subsidiary Nexstar, Deborah believes that this is a good time for her to step aside to allow a new Board to take the Company forward. Tony Sanders, Milestone's Technical and Operations Director, will act as Interim CEO until a replacement CEO with suitable experience in the new direction has been appointed.

As part of the refocusing of the business, the Board no longer considers the Passion Project to fit within the new Company strategy. It has therefore been agreed that Deborah White will purchase the IP and assets of the Passion Project for a nominal sum (the "Purchase").

The Purchase is deemed to be a related party transaction pursuant to AIM Rule 13, the directors independent of the Purchase, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser believe the terms of the Purchase are fair and reasonable insofar as shareholders are concerned.

The Board would like to thank Deborah for all her efforts over the last 9 years and wish her every success in the future.
