Sending in your Proxy will not prevent you from voting your stock at the meeting if you desire to do so, as your Proxy is revocable at your option. We would appreciate your giving this matter your prompt attention. MILESTONE SCIENTIFIC INC. ---------- PROXY STATEMENT For Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be Held June 27, 2003 ---------- Proxies in the form enclosed with this statement are solicited by Milestone Scientific Inc. ("Milestone" or "the Company") to be used at the Annual Meeting of stockholders to be held at the offices of Morse, Zelnick, Rose & Lander, LLP 405 Park Avenue (14th Floor), New York, NY 10022 on Friday, June 27, 2003, at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Meeting and this Proxy Statement. Milestone's principal executive offices are located at 220 South Orange Avenue, Livingston Corporate Park, Livingston, New Jersey 07039. The approximate date on which this statement and the accompanying proxy will be mailed to stockholders is June 3, 2003. THE VOTING AND VOTE REQUIRED On the record date for the meeting, May 30, 2003, there were outstanding 12,633,370 shares of common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock"), each of which will be entitled to one vote. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting. The Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares for adoption. All shares represented by valid proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained therein. In the absence of instructions, proxies will be voted FOR each of the stated matters being voted on at the meeting. A proxy may be revoked by the stockholder giving the proxy at any time before it is voted, either by oral or written notice, and a prior proxy is automatically revoked by a stockholder giving a subsequent proxy or attending and voting at the meeting. Attendance at the meeting, however, in and of itself does not revoke a prior proxy. In the case of the election of directors, shares represented by a proxy marked "WITHHOLD AUTHORITY" to vote for all five nominees will not be counted in determining whether a plurality vote has been received for the election of directors. Shares represented by proxies marked "ABSTAIN" on any other proposal will not be counted in determining whether the requisite vote has been received for such proposal. In instances where brokers are prohibited from exercising discretionary authority for beneficial owners who have not returned proxies ("broker non-votes"), those shares will not be included in the vote totals and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS The following table shows certain information with respect to beneficial ownership of the Company's Common Stock on March 29, 2003 by all persons known to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of its outstanding shares, by each director and by all Directors and Officers of the Company, as a group.

Employment Contracts As of January 1, 1998 the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Osser which provides for an initial term expiring on December 31, 2002, with a two-year non-competition period at the end of the term. The term is automatically increased for successive one-year periods unless prior to December 1 of any year either party notifies the other of its election not to extend the term. Under the Agreement, Mr. Osser serves as Chief Executive Officer and is required to work on a full-time basis. Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Osser receives annual base pay of $350,000, increasing to reflect cost of living adjustments commencing on January 1, 2001. In addition, during each January from 1998 through 2002 the Company has granted to Mr. Osser, pursuant to the Employment Agreement, an option to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable only during the last 30 days of the five-year option term unless the Company achieves certain financial goals to be specified annually by the Compensation Committee. Additionally, as soon as financial statements for each year commencing with 1998 are completed, the Company shall grant the executive an additional option to purchase up to 50,000 shares depending upon the achievement of specified performance goals. Further, Mr. Osser shall receive the opportunity to earn cash bonuses of up to $200,000 per year depending upon the achievement of performance targets to be specified by the Option Committee. On July 7, 1998, at his sole discretion, Mr. Osser implemented a voluntary reduction of his annual base salary, reducing his annual base pay from $350,000 to $188,462. The voluntary reduction has been described by Mr. Osser as being both temporary and having no effect upon his rights under his Employment Agreement with the Company. Such reduction remained in effect until August 5, 2000. At that time, Mr. 6 Osser began to defer his salary at the $350,000 annual base. At December 31, 2000, his deferred compensation was $141,346. In December 2001, Milestone reached an agreement with Mr. Osser to satisfy the $491,346 of unpaid salary. The agreement calls for the issuance of 614,183 units. Each unit consists of one share of Milestone common stock and one warrant to purchase an additional share of such common stock. The warrants will be exercisable at $.80 per share through January 31, 2003, thereafter at $1.00 per share through January 31, 2006, and thereafter at $2.00 per share through January 31, 2007, at which time they will expire. On March 31, 2003, Mr. Osser signed an agreement deferring $640,000 of his annual salary until April 1, 2003. Compensation of Directors In 2003, each non-employee directors was granted a five-year option to purchase 20,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, a price above the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. The option vests over two years. A similar option was granted to Leslie Bernhard upon her appointment to the Board in 2003. Directors receive no cash compensation. AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION On May 14, 2003 the Board of Directors adopted, subject to Stockholder approval, an amendment to Milestone's Certificate of Incorporation increasing the authorized capitalization by 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.0001 per share, issuable in series, each series possessing such rights, preferences and privileges as are determined by the Board of Directors upon the designation of that series. If the outstanding shares of any series are given voting rights, they will vote together with the Common Stock as one class and such voting rights will not be superior to the voting rights of the Common Stock. Nonconvertible shares of any series will not be granted more than one vote per share and each share of a convertible series will not be granted the right to more than one vote for each share of Common Stock into which it is convertible. Stockholder authorization of this class of Preferred Stock would leave within the discretion of the Board the determination of matters such as dividend rights or interest rates, conversion privileges, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and other rights and enable the Board to fix these rights without additional Stockholder approval. Authorization for preferred stock of the type now being sought by Milestone, sometimes referred to as "Variable Preferred Stock" or "Blank Check Preferred Stock" is possessed by many corporations and would provide Milestone with a flexible financial instrument which could be used by it in merger or acquisition transactions, in satisfaction of existing indebtedness, in payment of trade creditors or in future financing transactions. Accordingly, the Board believes, that having authorized "Blank Check" Preferred Stock will provide Milestone with increased flexibility in structuring and a greater possibility of effecting one or more of the foregoing transactions. However, at the present time there are no agreements or any specific plans with respect to the use of this Preferred Stock. The Board recommends a vote FOR this proposal. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions In December 2001, the Company reached an agreement with Mr. Osser to satisfy $491,346 of his deferred compensation through the issuance of 614,183 units, each unit consisted of one share of Milestone common stock and one warrant to purchase an additional share of each stock. These units were issued to Mr. Osser in January 2002. Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of the Company's 7 equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%) stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the best of the Company's knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, or written representations that no other forms were required, the Company believes that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%) shareholders were complied with during 2002. MISCELLANEOUS Other Matters Management knows of no matter other than the foregoing to be brought before the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, but if such other matters properly come before the meeting, or any adjournment thereof, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote such proxy on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.
