AIM quoted Milestone Group PLC (AIM:MSG), the digital solutions provider, announces that it has agreed to issue 8,802,944 ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the capital of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”), at a price of 1 pence per Ordinary Share to certain creditors in lieu of £88,029.44 payable in respect of services performed to the Company.
Despite the Company’s current liability position being reduced as a result of the issue of the Ordinary Shares, as previously announced, 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 immediate to short term.
Application will be made for, in aggregate, 8,802,944 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, which is expected to occur no later than 1 April 2010. The new Ordinary Shares, when fully paid and issued, will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares of Milestone.
