Milestone Scientific Secures $1 Million Revolving Line of Credit

LIVINGSTON, N.J., July 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Milestone Scientific, Inc. , the recognized leader in advanced injection technologies, today announced that it has secured a $1 million revolving line of credit expiring December 31, 2008 from a major shareholder to enhance the Company’s available cash resources. Borrowings will bear interest at 6% per annum, compounded quarterly in arrears, and borrowings and repayments under the line may be made from time to time until the expiration date of the line. All borrowings and interest thereon must be repaid by June 30, 2010, and after the expiration date of the line, may be repaid by Milestone, at its option, in shares of Common Stock. After December 31, 2008, the lender may convert all or any part of the then outstanding balance and interest thereon into shares of common stock at $4.00 per share. Three-year warrants, exercisable at $5.00 per share in an amount determined by dividing 50% of the amount borrowed by $5.00, will be issued on each drawdown. There is no facility fee on the line.

Leonard Osser, Chairman and CEO of Milestone, stated, “We are pleased that we have successfully secured a source of capital at terms favorable to the Company and its near term growth objectives, and are highly appreciative of our shareholder’s generous vote of confidence in and economic support of Milestone’s business plan. It is our intention to partially tap these funds, if necessary, to support the formal U.S. market launch of our Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA(TM)) system, planned for the fourth quarter of this year. This important initiative remains firmly on track, as our marketing and sales partners at Henry Schein and CoreStrength work with us to refine our final retail pricing and market penetration strategies.”

“In addition, although we hope to model all future product development collaborations related to medical applications of our patented CompuFlo(TM) technology on our recent agreement with Carticept Medical, (which provides for Carticept to fund all regulatory and product commercialization costs), we realize that partnering opportunities may present themselves that would require our financial participation. With access to this revolving facility, we are now empowered to pursue without hesitation those compelling situations that may mandate our immediate consideration,” continued Osser.

In closing, Osser added, “In light of Milestone’s management team’s current discussions with companies in the medical arena, coupled with this line of credit and our current cash on hand, we believe there will be no need to direct management’s attention to raising additional capital during the next 12 months. Notwithstanding that any extraordinary opportunities emerge that would require our board of directors and management team to revisit our capital needs, we believe we are now ideally positioned to move forward with confidence and purpose.”
