Issue of Equity

Milestone, the AIM quoted (AIM: MSG) provider of digital media and technology solutions, announces that it has issued 3,000,000 new ordinary shares in the Company to Paul Elliott, the Company's Sports and Corporate Social Responsibility Ambassador.

The shares are being issued at a price of 1 penny per share in lieu of consultancy fees related to Paul's work on various projects within the organisation. We are delighted that such a high profile figure in the sports world has requested his payment to be in shares, which are being issued at a premium to current market price, as it both demonstrates his commitment to the Milestone strategy and vision and the potential he sees for the business going forward.

Paul is a leading ambassador and champion for OnSide, a web and mobile risk-assessment application for sports coaches, which allows the real-time exchange of data crucial to the welfare and safety of young people playing sport. It also allows the clubs to demonstrate their duty of care. OnSide aims to create a safer environment for the participants in community sports, coaches and the public, enhance community cohesion whilst also providing cost and process efficiencies within the system. The system is currently on trial with Charlton Athletic Community Trust ("CACT").

Application has been made for the 3,000,000 new ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, which is expected to occur on or around 29 October 2012. The new ordinary shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares of Milestone.
