June 28, 2005
LIVINGSTON, New Jersey (June 28, 2005) -- Milestone Scientific Inc. (AMEX: MS), which develops, manufactures and markets computer controlled local anesthetic delivery systems for medical and dental applications, today announced the entry into an $850,000 private placement offering with two accredited institutional investors. The offering consists of 34,000 Units, each comprised of 10 shares of Common Stock and two Warrants. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase a share of Common Stock at $4.89 per share through the close of business on February 16, 2009. The Units were priced at 100% of the average closing price of 10 shares of Common Stock during the 10 trading days immediately preceding the execution of subscription agreements. A portion of the funds have already been received and the balance is expected in the next few days. Both institutions are current holders of Milestone’s securities. Dynamic Decisions S.R.L. acted as investment adviser to Milestone in this transaction.
“We are gratified that two of our existing institutional shareholders will be increasing their equity investment in the Company through further purchases of Common Stock,” stated Leonard Osser, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Milestone Scientific Inc. “This additional capital further assures our expected compliance at June 30, 2005 with the $6 million minimum net equity requirement for continued listing on the American Stock Exchange.”
