HAYLEYS EXPORTS PLC

Shareholder information for Sri Lankan companies is filed with the Department of the Registrar of Companies, and the registry record on file for HAYLEYS EXPORTS PLC does not itself show a shareholder listing. Because the company trades publicly on the Colombo Stock Exchange as Hayleys Fibre PLC (ticker HEXP.N0000), further disclosure is available through the exchange’s public-holding rules and market data. In an interim financial statement filed with the Colombo Stock Exchange, the company reported that public holding stood at 34.99 percent as at 30 September 2024, spread across 5,199 shareholders, with a float-adjusted market capitalisation of approximately LKR 429.1 million. On that basis, the balance of the company’s issued shares, approximately 65 percent, is classified as non-public.

Market-data providers covering the Colombo Stock Exchange report that this non-public position is held by Hayleys PLC, the company’s parent, at approximately 65 percent (reported as 15,600,000 shares). This is consistent with the 34.99 percent public-holding figure disclosed to the exchange and with the company’s position as a member of the Hayleys PLC corporate structure, but the specific 65 percent figure has not been independently verified against a shareholder register or beneficial-ownership filing and should be treated with corresponding caution.

No verified ultimate beneficial owner who is a natural person has been identified for HAYLEYS EXPORTS PLC. Hayleys PLC, its majority shareholder, is itself a Colombo Stock Exchange-listed company (ticker HAYL.N0000) with a broad public shareholder base, and no complete ownership chain to an individual has been identified from official sources.

Shareholder disclosure for HAYLEYS EXPORTS PLC is best described as major shareholders only: the public-holding percentage and shareholder count are confirmed through the company’s Colombo Stock Exchange filing, but a complete shareholder register, including the identity of individual public shareholders, is not publicly available.

No officer or director information is disclosed in the Department of the Registrar of Companies record on file for HAYLEYS EXPORTS PLC; Sri Lanka’s company registry does not routinely publish director data for public inspection in the way some other jurisdictions do. As a Colombo Stock Exchange-listed company trading as Hayleys Fibre PLC, however, its board composition and senior officer appointments are disclosed through stock-exchange announcements and company reporting.

Reported current board and senior officer positions include Abeyakumar Mohan Pandithage as Chairman, who has also served as Chairman and Chief Executive of parent company Hayleys PLC since 2009, and M. C. Sampath as Director and Chief Financial Officer, a role he has held since his appointment to the board in May 2018 after more than twenty-five years in accountancy and financial management. The board is reported to comprise ten members in total.

Three recent board changes have been confirmed through company announcements and Sri Lankan business news reporting. Ruwan Rajapakse was appointed Managing Director and Executive Director, effective 1 April 2026, joining from the role of Global Chief Production Officer at the Jiffy Group and previously Director/CEO of the Hayleys Agriculture Horticulture sector. Hegodagamage Senarath Rajitha Kariyawasan relinquished the position of Deputy Chairman/Executive Director and was re-classified as a Non-Executive Director, effective 31 May 2026, while continuing to serve on the boards of Hayleys Fibre PLC and its subsidiaries. Anushka Wijesinha, an economist and member of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka’s Monetary Policy Board, was appointed as an Independent Non-Executive Director, reported in early September 2026.

None of the sources reviewed disclose the nationality of these individuals, and nationality is not inferred here from name, role or correspondence address. Officer information for HAYLEYS EXPORTS PLC is best described as not public through the company registry and partial through stock-exchange and news disclosures: current senior appointments are reasonably well documented, but a complete historical record of past officers and resignations is not available from the sources reviewed.

HAYLEYS EXPORTS PLC is not an independent company. The company’s own registry-linked corporate structure, together with its public disclosures as Hayleys Fibre PLC, identifies HAYLEYS PLC (registration LK PQ22), a Colombo Stock Exchange-listed conglomerate (ticker HAYL.N0000), as its immediate and ultimate parent. Hayleys Fibre PLC’s own corporate materials and Sri Lanka’s Export Development Board describe the company as a subsidiary of Hayleys PLC, consistent with its position in the Hayleys PLC group.

Market-data providers report Hayleys PLC’s holding in the company at approximately 65 percent (reported as 15,600,000 shares); this is consistent with, though not identical to, the 34.99 percent public-holding figure the company disclosed to the Colombo Stock Exchange as at 30 September 2024, under which the remaining approximately 65 percent of issued shares is classified as non-public. The exact ownership percentage has not been independently verified against a beneficial-ownership filing.

The company’s own reporting identifies two direct subsidiaries, Bonterra Ltd and Creative Polymats (Pvt) Ltd, per market-data providers summarising its corporate filings; their jurisdictions and registration numbers were not confirmed from the sources reviewed.

The wider Hayleys PLC group spans a large number of entities across Sri Lanka and other countries, including Bangladesh, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Japan, Singapore, the United States and Australia, reflecting sectors such as agriculture, consumer products, transportation and logistics, and eco-solutions and other export-oriented manufacturing. This overview does not repeat the individual entities already shown in the accompanying corporate-structure graph.

Group-structure information for HAYLEYS EXPORTS PLC is best described as partial: its position within the Hayleys PLC group and its immediate parent are confirmed through multiple independent sources, but a fully verified ownership percentage and a complete, registration-number-level list of its own subsidiaries are not available from the sources reviewed.
