On November 29, 2024, the board of directors of Plastec Technologies, Ltd. (the “Company”) approved the declaration and timing of a special cash dividend to shareholders of $0.35 per share. The dividend will be paid on or about December 20, 2024 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 13, 2024.

 

Additionally, on November 29, 2024, Viewmount Development Limited, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Viewmount”), disposed of all of its equity interests of Sun Line Industrial Limited, one of its dormant wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Sun Line”), to an independent third party for an aggregate payment of approximately HKD4.65 million, which is roughly equivalent to the net book value of Sun Line. The determination to dispose of Sun Line was made in an effort to streamline the group’s organizational structure given its limited operations at this time. The sale also allowed Viewmount to dispose of Sun Line in a more efficient and quicker manner than if it had sought to formally dissolve and liquidate Sun Line under applicable Hong Kong law.

 

On November 29, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the foregoing. The press release is included with this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

PLASTEC TECHNOLOGIES DECLARES SPECIAL CASH DIVIDEND OF $0.35 PER SHARE

 

Announces Sale of Sun Line Industrial Limited Subsidiary

 

Hong Kong –November 29, 2024 – Plastec Technologies, Ltd. (OTCBB: PLTYF) (the “Company”) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a special one-time cash dividend of $0.35 per share to the holders of the Company’s ordinary shares. The dividend will be payable on or about December 20, 2024, to holders of record as of December 13, 2024, using the Company’s available cash and cash equivalents position which at June 30, 2024 was $12.2 million.

 

The Company also announced that Viewmount Development Limited, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, consummated the sale of the 100% equity interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sun Line Industrial Limited (“Sun Line”), to an independent third party for an aggregate payment of approximately HKD4.65 million. The purchase price for the equity interests in Sun Line was roughly equivalent to the net book value of Sun Line. The determination to dispose of Sun Line was made in an effort to streamline the group’s organizational structure given its limited operations at this time.

 

Mr. Kin Sun Sze-To, Chairman of the Company, stated, "As we continue to explore ways to deliver value to all of our stakeholders, we believe that a special dividend is the most effective way to return capital to shareholders at this time. Furthermore, we remain committed to monetize assets that no longer fit our going forward strategy, while at the same time, due to our strong balance sheet we are well-positioned to act quickly on any new opportunities that may arise.”
