TIDMMSG 
 
 
   MILESTONE GROUP PLC 
 
   ("Milestone" or the "Company") 
 
   Milestone signs cooperation agreement with the Social Stock Exchange 
 
   Milestone (AIM: MSG), the AIM quoted provider of digital media and 
technology solutions and the Social Stock Exchange (SSX) announce the 
signing of a cooperation agreement with the Social Stock Exchange 
specifically aimed at generating revenues, building membership and 
raising the profile of both organisations. 
 
   The Social Stock Exchange provides access to the world's first regulated 
market dedicated to businesses and investors seeking to achieve a 
positive social and environmental impact through their activities. 
Approved membership of the SSX stands at 44 companies with a combined 
value of over GBP2.3bn. 
 
   The cooperation agreement will involve, but is not exclusive to, 
introducing new members to each organisation, joint promotion, 
developing strategic partnerships and establishing an investment fund. 
Milestone will offer its financial and e-media technology, and through 
its recently announced partnerships, expertise in training and sourcing 
the right new generation of employees for the Social Stock Exchange and 
its members. 
 
   Milestone has this year focused heavily on attracting partnerships with 
organisations with national reach, expertise in sectors which to date 
have been seen as difficult to get into and the same goal as Milestone 
of creating a large and trusted organisation bringing the best next 
generation of talent into the right businesses. This agreement with the 
Social Stock Exchange will help increase the Company's visibility 
nationally and is another very important milestone to achieving 
meaningful revenues. 
 
   Deborah White, CEO of Milestone commented: 
 
   "The Social Stock Exchange is the perfect partner to pull together all 
Milestone Group's efforts and partnerships to take the Passion Project 
national. Our products and services are a natural fit for those 
businesses which have passed the strict criteria for a listing on the 
Social Stock Exchange and the Exchange itself offers a compelling 
service which we will promote to our partners." 
 
   Tomás Carruthers, CEO of the Social Stock Exchange, added: 
 
   "The primary role of the Social Stock Exchange is to help those 
businesses making a positive impact as well as a financial return find 
aligned investors. However we also recognise the significant power of 
our growing network, and have already seen agreements struck between 
member firms.  We are delighted to have this opportunity to help 
Milestone tap into the potential that's on offer."
