Non-Executive Directorate Changes

Green & Smart Holdings plc (AIM: GSH), a renewable energy company generating power from biogas captured through the treatment of palm oil mill effluent ("POME") in Malaysia, announces that Non-Executive Director Martin Bloom has resigned from the Board with immediate effect. Mr. Bloom will be succeeded as Chairman of the Audit Committee by Non-Executive Chairman, Datuk Haji Radzali Bin Hassan.

The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Aditya Chathli, aged 52, as Non-Executive Director with immediate effect. Mr. Chathli is an experienced capital markets expert with an approximately 25-year track record of advising global companies, organisations and government agencies. Currently he is a Director of Luther Pendragon Ltd, one of the UK's leading independent communications consultancies, and a Director of a capital markets advisory consultancy, Access Capital Markets. He is also Chairman of Lokcom Networks Ltd, an IOT technology start-up company.

Over the past 20 years he has advised public companies listed on the London Stock Exchange's Main market and AIM as well as companies listed on NASDAQ and other international bourses. During this period, his extensive experience included advising on international M&A deals, IPOs, MBOs, crisis communications as well as financial PR starting in 1998 at Brunswick Group, a global partnership advising on business critical issues to companies in 14 countries. Prior to that, Mr. Chathli worked for Adam Smith International, a global company that delivers impact, value and lasting change through economic growth and government reform. In 2004, he established a financial PR company, Corfin, which was then acquired by Luther Pendragon in 2011.

Datuk Haji Radzali Bin Hassan, Non-Executive Chairman, said: "On behalf of the Board, I would like to welcome Aditya Chathli to the Board. His vast experience of the capital markets and investor relations in the UK will be invaluable to us as we move to the next stage of our development. I would also like to thank Martin for his contribution to Green & Smart as we took our first steps as a publicly listed company and we wish him every success in the future."
