Milestone (AIM:MSG), the digital solutions provider, announces that it has agreed to issue 500,000 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 £5,000. The Company has also agreed to issue 617,250 Ordinary Shares at a price of 1 penny per Ordinary Share to certain creditors in lieu of £6,172.50 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, 1,117,250 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, which is expected to occur on or around 20 May 2011. The new Ordinary Shares, when fully paid and issued, will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares of Milestone.
