The aggregate amount payable to Brian Chester and ChesterBrown Limited under the terms of these compromise, consultancy and directorship arrangements is £121,000. Milestone Chairman, John Sanderson, said: 'Milestone's management team have worked hard over recent times to implement the group's strategic review and to identify new opportunities for the Company. Whilst the Board is in advanced stages of completing this strategic review, it has decided to put in place new arrangements which are designed to retain the services of the Company's senior management whilst effectively eliminating the Company's exposure to long term salary commitments. As such, the Board is well placed to conclude its ongoing discussions regarding the potential enlargement of the group.' The new arrangements with Andy Craig, Brian Chester and companies associated with them have been independently reviewed by Milestone's two non-executive directors. The non-executive directors, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, Arden Partners PLC, believe the agreed terms to be fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
