to the board of directors of a listed entity.
Touchwood Investment PLC, an agro-forestry investment firm yesterday announced that it has appointed ruling party MP
Duminda Romello Silva who is also a businessman, to its board of directors as a Non-Executive/Independent Director with effect from

with effect from June 18, 2013.

Chief Executive Officer with effect from April 4.
Later, Swarna Maloney was appointed CEO/Vice Chairman Touchwood with the resignation of Charles Nazerias Jeffry Ebert, effective June 20.
Another board member, Janath Sohitha Olaboduwa resigned from the board with effect from May 7. It was also announced that board
member Prageeth Bandara Herath had resigned from the board with effect from June 20. Indrajith Upul Peiris was appointed Director with
effect from June 21.
The present Touchwood director board consists of: Roscoe Maloney (Chariman), Swarna Maloney (Vice Chairperson), L.L Kulatunga
(Independent Director), Indrajith Upul Peiris, A.R. Perera, Duminda Romello Silva (Non-Executive Independent Director) and L.W. Kiwlegedara

Meanwhile the company in May announced that E-Channelling CEO Ruwan Silva was appointed as Principal Consultant and Advisor to the
board.
