INTRODUCTION

Sale of Assets

As disclosed in our various previous filings, on November 14, 2015, we entered into a Share Transfer Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Shanghai Yongli Belting Co., Ltd. (“SYB”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Shanghai Yongjing Investment Management Co., Ltd. (“SYIM”). Pursuant to the Agreement, SYIM was to purchase, through a wholly-owned Hong Kong subsidiary, the entirety of our shareholding interests in Plastec for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 1,250,000,000 (or US$195,312,500), in cash (the “Transfer Price”). Of the Transfer Price, RMB 875,000,000 (or US$136,718,750) was payable within 60 days after the China Securities Regulatory Commission approved of the Issuance (as defined in the Agreement) and SYB’s receipt of the funds raised through the Issuance, the latter of which was confirmed by SYB to have happened by July 29, 2016. Accordingly, payment of the initial portion of the Transfer Price was made to us on September 21, 2016.

The remaining RMB 375,000,000 (or US$58,593,750) of the Transfer Price (the “Remaining Amount”) was deposited into a bank account designated solely for the purpose of the transaction, supervised and administered by SYB and us jointly, with tranches of which made payable to us upon Plastec achieving certain performance targets for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018. See below for further information.

On October 11, 2016, the parties consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement after the fulfillment of certain other conditions, as described in the Agreement. As a result, we no longer own Plastec.

Following consummation of the transactions described above, our only operations have generally been to (i) complete the construction of a manufacturing plant in Kai Ping, China which was disposed of and transferred to Plastec upon its establishment on April 20, 2018 as described below, (ii) collect rental income from certain property we used to own and which was being leased to one of Plastec’s subsidiaries until November 2019 when the former subsidiary of ours that held the property was disposed of to an unaffiliated third party as described below, (iii) collect the payments upon Plastec achieving the performance targets for the years ended December 31, 2016 through 2018 as described in the Agreement and below; and (iv) to explore other investment opportunities.

Confirmations of Plastec’s Achievement of Performance Targets for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018

By a letter dated May 10, 2017, SYB confirmed and acknowledged to us that Plastec’s audited net profit (on a consolidated basis, after deducting non-recurring gains and losses) for the year ended December 31, 2016 was HK$183,958,100, which was in excess of the performance target for the year ended December 31, 2016, set at HK$161,211,000 in the Agreement, by HK$22,747,100 or approximately 14.1%. Accordingly, we were paid a further sum of RMB 113,250,000 (or US$17,695,312) of the Remaining Amount on June 1, 2017 and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

By a letter dated March 28, 2018, SYB confirmed and acknowledged to us that Plastec’s audited net profit (on a consolidated basis, after deducting non-recurring gains and losses) for the year ended December 31, 2017 was HK$183,124,000, which was in excess of the performance target for the year ended December 31, 2017, set at HK$177,088,000 in the Agreement, by HK$6,036,000 or approximately 3.4%. Accordingly, we were paid a further sum of RMB 124,380,000 (or US$19,434,375) of the Remaining Amount on May 25, 2018 and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

By a letter dated April 26, 2019, SYB confirmed and acknowledged to us that Plastec’s audited net profit (on a consolidated basis, after deducting non-recurring gains and losses) for the year ended December 31, 2018 was HK$262,954,000, which was in excess of the performance target for the year ended December 31, 2018, set at HK$195,408,000 in the Agreement, by HK$67,546,000 or approximately 34.6%. Accordingly, we were paid a further sum of RMB 137,370,000 (or US$21,464,063) of the Remaining Amount on May 30, 2019 and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

Transfer of Manufacturing Plant in Kai Ping, China

In accordance with the terms and spirit of the Agreement, we caused Viewmount Developments Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ours (“Viewmount”), to enter into a Share Transfer Agreement with Plastec (a wholly owned subsidiary of SYB since October 11, 2016) on March 30, 2018 (the “Manufacturing Plant Transfer Agreement”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of which Viewmount was to transfer the ownership interests in certain of its former subsidiaries holding the newly established manufacturing plant in Kai Ping, China through their PRC subsidiaries to Plastec for a total consideration of approximately HK$70,000 (or US$8,974), representing the actual registered capital injected by Viewmount into the relevant subsidiaries.

Table of Contents

On April 20, 2018, the parties consummated the transactions contemplated by the Manufacturing Plant Transfer Agreement. The parties also settled all account payables owed by the relevant subsidiaries to Viewmount at the closing, totaling HK$258,910,000 (or US$33,193,590).

Disposal of Assets

On November 15, 2019, Viewmount entered into an agreement (“Assets Disposal Agreement”) with an unaffiliated third party (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which Viewmount was to transfer the ownership interests in its then wholly-owned subsidiary holding the right to use certain parcels of land in Shenzhen together with premises built thereon to the Purchaser for HK$47,964,570.65 (or US$6,149,304) in cash, net of all relevant expenses, charges and taxes.

On November 20, 2019, the parties consummated the transactions contemplated by the Assets Disposal Agreement; on which date Viewmount also received from the Purchaser HK$112,035,429.35 (or US$14,363,517) representing all amounts due from the former subsidiary disposed of.

Impact of 2019 Assets Disposal on Our Financial Statements

The disposal of assets in 2019 represented a strategic shift and had a major effect on our results of operations. Accordingly, assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and cash flows related to the disposed business lines have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019, the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019 have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect this strategic shift.

Risks Relating to Our Business

We have limited scope of operation after divestment of our ownership interest in Plastec and, accordingly, you will have no or little basis on which to evaluate our prospect as a going concern.

Following divestment of our ownership interest in Plastec, our only operations have generally been to (i) complete the construction of our manufacturing plant in Kai Ping, China which was disposed of and transferred to Plastec upon its establishment on April 20, 2018 pursuant to the terms of the Manufacturing Plant Transfer Agreement, (ii) collect rental income from certain property we used to own and which was being leased to one of Plastec’s subsidiaries until November 2019 when the former subsidiary of ours that held the property was disposed of to an unaffiliated third party pursuant to the terms of the Assets Disposal Agreement, (iii) collect the payments upon Plastec achieving the performance targets for the years ended December 31, 2016 through 2018 as described in the Agreement; and (iv) explore other investment opportunities. As of the date hereof, we have no plans, arrangements or understandings of what long term, if at all, operations in which we might be engaged or business objective by which we might adopt and, accordingly, you will have no or little basis on which to evaluate our prospect as a going concern.

We do not have any sources of operating revenues.

Currently, we do not have any sources of operating revenues. As a result, there would be substantial doubt regarding our ability to remain as a going concern from a long-term perspective.

We face uncertainties with respect to indirect transfers of equity interests in PRC resident enterprises by their non-PRC holding companies.

On February 03, 2015, the PRC State Administration of Taxation, or SAT, issued the Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Several Issues concerning the Enterprise Income Tax Deriving from the Indirect Transfers of Properties among Non-Resident Enterprises, or “Announcement 7”, which was further amended on December 1, 2017 and December 29, 2017. According to Announcement 7, where a non-resident enterprise indirectly transfers equities and other property of a Chinese resident enterprise (Indirect Transfer) to evade its obligation of paying enterprise income tax by implementing arrangements that are not for bona fide commercial purpose , such Indirect Transfer shall, in accordance with the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, be re-identified and recognized as a direct transfer of equities and other property of the Chinese resident enterprise and shall be taxed. The equities and other property of a Chinese resident enterprise mentioned above, or Chinese Taxable Property, refers to: (i) the assets of an “establishment or place” situated in the PRC; (ii) real property situated in the PRC; and (iii) equity interest in Chinese resident enterprises. The Announcement 7 has also elaborated how to determine that an Indirect Transfer has “a reasonable commercial purpose” and specified the legal consequences for failing to withhold and pay tax. If the transfer of interests of our wholly-owned subsidiary which holds the Chinese taxable property, i.e, the real property, be considered by the relevant tax authorities to be devoid of “a reasonable commercial purpose”, Announcement 7 may be interpreted and the entity or individual that has the direct liability for the relevant payment obligation to the equity transferor shall be identified as the withholding agent and obligated to pay the tax. Pursuant to the Announcement of the SAT on Matters Concerning Withholding of Income Tax of Non-resident Enterprises at Source (“Announcement 37”), issued by SAT on October 17, 2017 with effect from December 1, 2017, if the withholding agent fails to withhold the tax that should have been withheld, the competent tax authority shall order the withholding agent to withhold the tax payable, and pursue the liability of the withholding agent according to the law; where there is a need to pursue tax payments from the taxpayer, it shall be handled by the competent tax authority at the place where the tax is accrued. Although we have agreed in the Assets Disposal Agreement that the Purchaser shall bear all the relevant taxes and charges, the failure or delay of the payment of tax by the Purchaser as the withholding agent may result in extra expenses of valuable resources for us to comply with Announcement 7, Announcement 37 or other related tax rules, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are vulnerable to foreign currency exchange risk exposure.

Our foreign currency exchange risk arises from the fact that our financial statements are expressed in Hong Kong dollars. Our balance sheet uses the relevant prevailing period end exchange rate to convert all foreign currency amounts into Hong Kong dollars and our statement of comprehensive income records various payments and receipts using the relevant prevailing exchange rate on the date of each transaction. The different exchange rates prevailing at different times will give rise to foreign currency exchange exposures. In addition, the current peg of the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the U.S. dollar may be de-pegged or subject to an increased band of fluctuation. Fluctuations in the Hong Kong dollar exchange rates against other currencies may negatively impact our financial condition.

We intend to explore other currently unidentified investment opportunities and, accordingly, we are unable to currently ascertain the merits or risks of any such investment opportunity.

We intend to explore other currently unidentified investment opportunities to supplement our current minimal operations. Accordingly, there is no current basis for you to evaluate the possible merits or risks of any investment opportunity we may ultimately pursue. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in any particular investment opportunity, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors or not be exposed to potential risks which could have a material and adverse effect on ability to manage our business. Further, as a result of our current minimal operations, limited resources for want of operating revenues and the need to maintain adequate control of our costs and expenses, we may not be able to attract, train, motivate and recruit suitably qualified personnel to explore or effect any investment opportunity thereby making it difficult for you to evaluate our long term business, financial performance and prospects. If we do not succeed in launching new business upon any investment opportunity to supplement our current minimal operations, our future results of operations and growth prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

Our search for other unidentified investment opportunities may be materially adversely affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic or other adverse events .

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected, and other events (such as geopolitical tensions, terrorist attacks, natural disasters or a significant outbreak of other infectious diseases) could adversely affect, the economies and financial markets worldwide, and the business of any potential company with which we look to do potential business in the future. Furthermore, concerns relating to COVID-19 could continue to restrict travel and limit the ability to have meetings with potential companies. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other events (such as geopolitical tensions, terrorist attacks, natural disasters or a significant outbreak of other infectious diseases) continue for an extensive period of time, our operations may be materially adversely affected.

In addition, our ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by COVID-19 and other events (such as geopolitical tensions, terrorist attacks, natural disasters or a significant outbreak of other infectious diseases), including, as a result of increased market volatility and a decline in real activity, decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to us or at all.

U.S. laws and regulations, including the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, may restrict or eliminate our ability to complete a transaction with certain companies.

Future developments in U.S. laws may restrict our ability or willingness to complete certain transactions with companies. For instance, the recently enacted Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCAA”) would restrict our ability to consummate a business combination with a target business unless that business met certain standards of the PCAOB and would require delisting of a company from U.S. national securities exchanges if the PCAOB is unable to inspect its public accounting firm for three consecutive years. Additionally, there is pending legislation that would reduce the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA from three years to two years. The HFCAA also requires public companies to disclose, among other things, whether they are owned or controlled by a foreign government, specifically, those based in China. We may not be able to consummate a transaction with a favored target business due to these laws.

Risks Related to Us and Our Securities

Because we are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited.

We are a company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States. In addition, our directors and officers are nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon our directors or executive officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against our directors or officers.

Table of Contents

Our corporate affairs are governed by our second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands (as the same may be supplemented or amended from time to time), or the “Companies Act,” and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and certain states, such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a Federal court of the United States.

There is also uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would:

The uncertainty relates to whether a judgment obtained from the U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws will be determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands as penal or punitive in nature. If such a determination is made, the courts of the Cayman Islands will not recognize or enforce the judgment against a Cayman Islands company, such as our company. As the courts of the Cayman Islands have yet to rule on making such a determination in relation to judgments obtained from U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws, it is uncertain whether such judgments would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands. The courts of the Cayman Islands would recognize as a valid judgment a final and conclusive judgment in personam obtained in the federal or state courts in the United States under which a sum of money is payable (other than a sum of money payable in respect of multiple damages, taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty) and would give a judgment based thereon provided that: (a) such courts had proper jurisdiction over the parties subject to such judgment; (b) such courts did not contravene the rules of natural justice of the Cayman Islands; (c) such judgment was not obtained by fraud; (d) the enforcement of the judgment would not be contrary to the public policy of the Cayman Islands; (e) no new admissible evidence relevant to the action is submitted prior to the rendering of the judgment by the courts of the Cayman Islands; and (f) there is due compliance with the correct procedures under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

As a result of all of the above, shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a United States company.

We may be treated as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”), which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors.

In general, we would be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year in which either (1) at least 75% of our gross income (looking through certain 25% or more-owned corporate subsidiaries) is passive income or (2) at least 50% of the average value of our assets (looking through certain 25% or more-owned corporate subsidiaries) is attributable to assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. Passive income generally includes, without limitation, dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the disposition of passive assets. If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. holder of our ordinary shares, the U.S. holder may be subject to increased U.S. federal income tax liability and may be subject to additional reporting requirements. As a result of the disposition of all of our shareholdings in Plastec in October 2016 and based on the expected composition (and estimated values) of the assets and the nature of the income of us and our subsidiaries and our current plans of operation, we are expected to be treated as a PFIC. However, our actual PFIC status for any taxable year will not be determinable until after the end of such taxable year. Accordingly, there can be no assurance with respect to our status as a PFIC for our current taxable year or any subsequent taxable year. We urge U.S. investors to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules.

Table of Contents

A national securities exchange may not list our securities, or if a national securities exchange does grant such listing, it could thereafter delist our securities, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

We may consider applying to have our ordinary shares listed on a national securities exchange if circumstances permit. However, there is no assurance that such an application will be made or that we will be successful in our efforts to have our securities listed. If a national securities exchange does not list our securities or if it grants such listing and thereafter delists our securities, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

If our ordinary shares become subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules, broker-dealers may experience difficulty in completing customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected.

If at any time we have net tangible assets of $5,000,000 or less and our ordinary shares have a market price per share of less than $5.00, transactions in our ordinary shares may be subject to the “penny stock” rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under these rules, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors must:

If our ordinary shares become subject to these rules, broker-dealers may find it difficult to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected. As a result, the market price of our securities may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our securities.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our ordinary shares may be adversely affected.

We are required to have in place certain financial and disclosure control procedures and corporate governance practices that enable us to comply, on a stand-alone basis, with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, rules. If we are unable to implement solutions to any weaknesses in our internal controls and procedures, or if we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls in the future, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud and investor confidence and the market price of our ordinary shares may be adversely impacted.

Table of Contents

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to perform an evaluation of our internal controls over financial reporting and file annual management assessments of their effectiveness with the SEC. The management assessment to be filed is required to include a certification of our internal controls by our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. In addition to satisfying requirements of Section 404, we may also make improvements to our management information system to computerize certain manual controls, establish a comprehensive procedures manual for US GAAP financial reporting, and increase the headcount in the accounting and internal audit functions with professional qualifications and experience in accounting, financial reporting and auditing under US GAAP.

If we become an “accelerated filer” or a “large accelerated filer” as those terms are defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our auditors will be required to attest to our evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting. Unless we successfully design and implement changes to our internal controls and management systems, or if we fail to maintain the adequacy of these controls as such standards are modified or amended from time to time, we may not be able to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As a result, our auditors may be unable to attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. This could subject us to regulatory scrutiny and result in a loss of public confidence in our management, which could, among other things, adversely affect the price of our ordinary shares and our ability to raise additional capital.

Our executive officers have limited experience managing a public company subject to United States securities laws and preparing financial statements in U.S. GAAP.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, who are primarily responsible for the disclosure contained in our annual reports and financial statements filed with the SEC, have limited experience as officers of a public company subject to United States securities laws since we are the first and only United States public company they have managed. As a result, our executive officers chiefly in charge of our disclosure have limited experience with United States securities laws and U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, they may not have sufficient knowledge to properly interpret the extensive SEC financial reporting and disclosure rules or all relevant U.S. GAAP accounting standards and guidance, and may have to rely on third party advisers for compliance. If we are unable to engage knowledgeable third party advisers or our executive officers improperly interpret SEC financial reporting and disclosure rules and U.S. GAAP accounting standards and guidance, investor confidence and the market price of our securities may be adversely impacted.

One of our directors and officers controls a significant amount of our ordinary shares and his interests may not align with the interests of our other shareholders.

Kin Sun Sze-To, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, currently has beneficial ownership of approximately 78.3% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares. This significant concentration of share ownership may adversely affect or reduce the trading price of our ordinary shares because investors often perceive a disadvantage in owning shares in a company with one or several controlling shareholders. Furthermore, our directors and officers, as a group, have the ability to significantly influence or control the outcome of all matters requiring shareholders’ approvals, including electing directors and approving mergers or other business combination transactions. These actions may be taken even if they are opposed by our other shareholders. This concentration of ownership and voting power may also discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company.

Our executive officers have become affiliated with SYB following divestment of our shareholdings in Plastec and have thereafter allocated their time in pursuit of businesses of Plastec thereby causing conflicts of interest in their determination as to how much time to devote to our affairs. This conflict of interest could have a negative impact on our ability to remain as a going concern.

Our executive officers are not required to commit their full time to our affairs, which could create a conflict of interest when allocating their time between our operations (albeit limited currently) and their commitments vis-à-vis Plastec as part and parcel of our divestment of our shareholdings in Plastec to SYB. None of our executive officers is obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our affairs. If their other business affairs vis-à-vis Plastec require them to devote more substantial amounts of time to such affairs, it could limit their ability to devote time to our affairs and could have a negative impact on our ability to remain as a going concern from a long-term perspective. Additionally, our executive officers may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us and SYB/Plastec to which they owe fiduciary duties. Accordingly, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. As a result, a potential business opportunity may preferentially be presented to SYB/Plastec ahead, or instead, of to us and we may not be afforded a realistic chance of exploring any business opportunity.

Our ability to consummate any investment opportunity will be dependent on the efforts of our key personnel.

Our ability to successfully effect any investment opportunity will be dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel. As indicated above, our executive officers are not required to commit their full time efforts to our affairs. Accordingly, there is no assurance that they will spend sufficient time to our locating any potential investment opportunity. Further, the unexpected loss of our executives could have a detrimental effect on us and our ability to realize any potential investment opportunity.

Because of our limited resources, other companies may have a competitive advantage in locating and consummating investment opportunities.

We expect to encounter competition from entities having a business objective similar to ours, including venture capital funds, leveraged buyout funds and operating businesses competing for investment opportunities. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting investment opportunities directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources than we do and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. The foregoing may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully locating and consummating any investment opportunity.

In addition to the foregoing, in recent years and especially since the fourth quarter of 2020, the number of public blank check companies that have been formed has increased substantially. As a result, fewer attractive targets may be available, and it may require more time, more effort and more resources to identify a suitable target and to consummate a transaction.  Attractive deals could also become scarcer for other reasons, such as economic or industry sector downturns, geopolitical tensions, or increases in the cost of additional capital needed to close a transaction or operate targets. This could increase the cost of, delay or otherwise complicate or frustrate our ability to find and consummate an attractive transaction, and may result in our inability to consummate a transaction on terms favorable to our investors altogether.

Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business.

We are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, we will be required to comply with SEC rules and other legal requirements. The SEC has recently proposed rules applicable to blank check companies and certain shell companies that, if adopted, could make it more expensive and difficult to consummate a transaction. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly.

Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete a transaction and results of operations.

Cyber incidents or attacks directed at us could result in information theft, data corruption, operational disruption and/or financial loss.

We depend on digital technologies, including information systems, infrastructure and cloud applications and services, including those of third parties with which we may deal. Sophisticated and deliberate attacks on, or security breaches in, our systems or infrastructure, or the systems or infrastructure of third parties or the cloud, could lead to corruption or misappropriation of our assets, proprietary information and sensitive or confidential data. As an early stage company without significant investments in data security protection, we may not be sufficiently protected against such occurrences. We may not have sufficient resources to adequately protect against, or to investigate and remediate any vulnerability to, cyber incidents.

The market price for our shares may be volatile.

The market price for our shares is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:

11

Table of Contents

Volatility in the price of our shares may result in shareholder litigation that could in turn result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources.

The financial markets in the United States and other countries have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, and market prices have been and continue to be extremely volatile. Volatility in the price of our shares may be caused by factors outside of our control and may be unrelated or disproportionate to our results of operations. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a public company’s securities, shareholders have frequently instituted securities class action litigation against such company. Litigation of this kind could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources.

If we do not pay dividends on our shares, shareholders may be forced to benefit from an investment in our shares only if those shares appreciate in value.

The payment of dividends in the future, of which there can be no assurance, will be entirely within the sole discretion of our board of directors and will largely be contingent upon our cash flow needs for future development; all of which may be adversely affected by one or more of the factors described herein. Accordingly, we may not declare or pay additional dividends in the future. Even if the board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board may deem relevant. If we determine not to pay any dividends in the future, realization of a gain on shareholders’ investments will depend on the appreciation of the price of our shares, and there is no guarantee that our shares will appreciate in value.

We may need additional capital, and the sale of additional shares or equity or debt securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs at least for the next twelve months. We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If these resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain one or more additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. It is uncertain whether financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

History and Development

We are a Cayman Islands company incorporated under the Companies Act. We were formed on March 27, 2008 as an exempted company with limited liability. We were originally incorporated under the name “GSME Acquisition Partners I” for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, plan of arrangement, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination, an operating business, or control of such operating business through contractual arrangements, that had its principal operations located in the PRC.

On November 25, 2009, we closed our initial public offering, or “IPO,” of 3,600,000 units with each unit consisting of one ordinary share and one warrant, or “public warrants,” each to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $36,000,000. We also issued to the underwriters in the IPO an aggregate of 360,000 unit purchase options, each to purchase a unit identical to the units sold in the IPO, at an exercise price of $15.00 per unit, of which 70,375 unit purchase options were subsequently repurchased by us in April 2012. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, we consummated the private sale of 3,600,000 warrants, or “insider warrants,” at a price of $0.50 per warrant, generating total proceeds of $1,800,000. In connection with the IPO, our initial shareholders placed a total of 1,200,000 ordinary shares, or “initial shares”, in escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent.

From the consummation of our IPO until August 6, 2010, we were searching for a suitable target business to acquire. On August 6, 2010, we entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization, or “Merger Agreement,” with Plastec, each of the former Plastec shareholders and our merger subsidiary, which provided, among other things, that our wholly owned subsidiary would merge with and into Plastec, with Plastec surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of ours then. The Merger Agreement was subsequently amended in September 2010 and December 2010 but continued to provide for our wholly owned subsidiary to merge with and into Plastec, with Plastec surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of ours then. On December 10, 2010, we held an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders, at which our shareholders approved the merger and other related proposals. On December 16, 2010, we closed the merger. At the closing, we issued to the former shareholders of Plastec an aggregate of 7,054,583 ordinary shares and agreed to issue the former Plastec shareholders an aggregate of 9,723,988 earnout shares additionally upon the achievement by Plastec of certain net income targets. Also at the closing, 2,615,732 of the public shares sold in our IPO were converted into cash and cancelled based on the election of the holders to exercise their conversion rights. In connection with the merger, our business then became the business of Plastec and we changed our name to “Plastec Technologies, Ltd.” On April 30, 2011, we further amended the Merger Agreement to remove certain earnout provisions contained within it and to issue an aggregate of 7,486,845 ordinary shares to the former Plastec shareholders. We subsequently repurchased from one of the former Plastec shareholders an aggregate of 1,570,000 shares.

In connection with the merger with Plastec, we amended the terms of the escrow agreement with the initial shareholders to include in escrow an aggregate of 2,418,878 of the insider warrants and to provide additional restrictions on the release from escrow of all of the securities, including the requirement to raise certain financing by December 16, 2011. On December 16, 2011, the escrow agreement was again amended and the date on which the required financing was needed by was extended to March 16, 2012. No funds were ultimately raised and as a result, a total of 806,293 initial shares and the entire 2,418,878 insider warrants held in escrow were automatically repurchased by us at an aggregate consideration of $0.01 and cancelled.

We announced the establishment of a repurchase program in December 2011, under which and as the program was subsequently extended and expanded, we were allowed to repurchase up to $5.0 million of our ordinary shares and public warrants in both open market and privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of our management and as market conditions allowed, or “2011 Repurchase Program.” At the completion of the 2011 Repurchase Program on September 25, 2013, we had repurchased 832,765 ordinary shares and 85,000 public warrants thereunder.

On September 25, 2013, we also announced a new repurchase program, under which and as the program was subsequently extended and expanded, we are allowed to repurchase up to $5.0 million of our units, ordinary shares and public warrants in both open market and privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of our management and as market conditions allowed, or “2013 Repurchase Program.” The 2013 Repurchase Program (as extended) is currently valid through September 25, 2022 and so far we have repurchased 586,010 ordinary shares and 547,600 public warrants thereunder.

On November 18, 2014, all issued and outstanding public warrants, insider warrants and unit purchase options expired and were cancelled accordingly.

On November 14, 2015, we entered into the Agreement with SYB and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SYIM. Pursuant to the Agreement, SYIM was to purchase, through a wholly-owned Hong Kong subsidiary, the entirety of our shareholding interests in Plastec for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 1,250,000,000 (or US$195,312,500), in cash (the “Transfer Price”). Of the Transfer Price, RMB 875,000,000 (or US$136,718,750) was payable within 60 days after the China Securities Regulatory Commission approved of the Issuance (as defined in the Agreement) and SYB’s receipt of the funds raised through the Issuance, the latter of which was confirmed by SYB to have happened by July 29, 2016. Accordingly, payment of the initial portion of the Transfer Price was made to us on September 21, 2016.

The remaining RMB 375,000,000 (or US$58,593,750) of the Transfer Price (the “Remaining Amount”) was deposited into a bank account designated solely for the purpose of the transaction, supervised and administered by SYB and us jointly, with tranches of which made payable to us upon Plastec achieving certain performance targets for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 (the “Performance Commitments”) as described below:

​

On October 11, 2016, the parties consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement after the fulfillment of certain other conditions, as described in the Agreement. As a result, we no longer own Plastec.

By a letter dated May 10, 2017, SYB confirmed and acknowledged to us that Plastec’s audited net profit (on a consolidated basis, after deducting non-recurring gains and losses) for the year ended December 31, 2016 was HK$183,958,100, which was in excess of the performance target for the year ended December 31, 2016, set at HK$161,211,000 in the Agreement, by HK$22,747,100 or approximately 14.1%. Accordingly, we were paid a further sum of RMB 113,250,000 (or US$17,695,312) of the Remaining Amount on June 1, 2017 and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

By a letter dated March 28, 2018, SYB confirmed and acknowledged to us that Plastec’s audited net profit (on a consolidated basis, after deducting non-recurring gains and losses) for the year ended December 31, 2017 was HK$183,124,000, which was in excess of the performance target for the year ended December 31, 2017, set at HK$177,088,000 in the Agreement, by HK$6,036,000 or approximately 3.4%. Accordingly, we were paid a further sum of RMB 124,380,000 (or US$19,434,375) of the Remaining Amount on May 25, 2018 and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

By a letter dated April 26, 2019, SYB confirmed and acknowledged to us that Plastec’s audited net profit (on a consolidated basis, after deducting non-recurring gains and losses) for the year ended December 31, 2018 was HK$262,954,000, which was in excess of the performance target for the year ended December 31, 2018, set at HK$195,408,000 in the Agreement, by HK$67,546,000 or approximately 34.6%. Accordingly, we were paid a further sum of RMB 137,370,000 (or US$21,464,063) of the Remaining Amount on May 30, 2019 and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

B. Business Overview

Following consummation of the transactions described above, our only operations have generally been to (i) complete the construction of a manufacturing plant in Kai Ping, China which was disposed of and transferred to Plastec upon its establishment on April 20, 2018 as described below, (ii) collect rental income from certain property we used to own and which was being leased to one of Plastec’s subsidiaries until November 2019 when the former subsidiary of ours that held the property was disposed of to an unaffiliated third party as described below, (iii) collect the payments upon Plastec achieving the performance targets for the years ended December 31, 2016 through 2018 as described in the Agreement; and (iv) to explore other investment opportunities.

In accordance with the terms and spirit of the Agreement, we caused Viewmount to enter into the Manufacturing Plant Transfer Agreement on March 30, 2018, pursuant to the terms and conditions of which Viewmount was to transfer the ownership interests in certain of its former subsidiaries holding the newly established manufacturing plant in Kai Ping, China through their PRC subsidiaries to Plastec for a total consideration of approximately HK$70,000 (or US$8,974), representing the actual registered capital injected by Viewmount into the relevant subsidiaries.

On April 20, 2018, the parties consummated the transactions contemplated by the Manufacturing Plant Transfer Agreement. The parties also settled all account payables owed by the relevant subsidiaries to Viewmount at the closing, totaling HK$258,910,000 (or US$33,193,590).

On November 15, 2019, Viewmount entered into the Assets Disposal Agreement with the Purchaser, pursuant to which Viewmount was to transfer the ownership interests in its then wholly-owned subsidiary holding the right to use certain parcels of land in Shenzhen together with premises built thereon to the Purchaser for HK$47,964,570.65 (or US$6,149,304) in cash, net of all relevant expenses, charges and taxes.

On November 20, 2019, the parties consummated the transactions contemplated by the Assets Disposal Agreement; on which date Viewmount also received from the Purchaser HK$112,035,429.35 (or US$14,363,517) representing all amounts due from the former subsidiary disposed of.

To date, we have not identified any investment opportunities, the pursuit of which we believe would be advantageous to us to supplement our current minimal operations. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be able to locate any such investment opportunity in the future and accordingly there is no current basis for you to evaluate the possible merits or risks of any investment opportunity we may ultimately pursue.

Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in any particular investment opportunity, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors or not be exposed to potential risks which could have a material and adverse effect on ability to manage our business. Further, as a result of our current minimal operations, limited resources for want of operating revenues and the need to maintain adequate control of our costs and expenses, we may not be able to attract, train, motivate and recruit suitably qualified personnel to explore or effect any investment opportunity thereby making it difficult for you to evaluate our long term business, financial performance and prospects. If we do not succeed in launching any new business upon an investment opportunity to supplement our current minimal operations, our future results of operations and growth prospects may be materially and adversely affected arising from a lack of business diversification.

Our ability to successfully effect any investment opportunity will also be dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel. However, our executive officers are not required to, and it is unlikely that they will, commit and devote their full time efforts to our affairs. Accordingly, there is no assurance that they will spend sufficient time to our locating any potential investment opportunity. Further, the unexpected loss of our executives could have a detrimental effect on us and our ability to realize any potential investment opportunity.

Further, we expect to encounter competition from entities having a business objective similar to ours, including venture capital funds, leveraged buyout funds and operating businesses competing for investment opportunities. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting investment opportunities directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources than we do and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. The foregoing may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully locating and consummating any investment opportunity.

In addition to the foregoing, in recent years and especially since the fourth quarter of 2020, the number of public blank check companies that have been formed has increased substantially. As a result, fewer attractive targets may be available, and it may require more time, more effort and more resources to identify a suitable target and to consummate a transaction.  Attractive deals could also become scarcer for other reasons, such as economic or industry sector downturns, geopolitical tensions, or increases in the cost of additional capital needed to close a transaction or operate targets. This could increase the cost of, delay or otherwise complicate or frustrate our ability to find and consummate an attractive transaction, and may result in our inability to consummate a transaction on terms favorable to our investors altogether.

Properties

As of the date of this Form 20-F, we are not interested in, nor do we own, any properties.

Executives and Directors

As of the date of this Form 20-F, we have no employees but have two executive officers and two independent directors. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters and intend to devote only as much time as they deem necessary to our affairs. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether an investment opportunity has been targeted and works arising therefrom. Accordingly, once management locates a suitable investment opportunity, they will consequently spend more time to our affairs than they would prior to locating a suitable investment opportunity and we do not intend to have any full time employees prior to that event.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect:

We continually evaluate these estimates based on our own experience, knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions, our expectations regarding the future based on available information and reasonable assumptions, which together form our basis for making judgments about matters that are not readily apparent from other sources. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application. When reading our consolidated financial statements, you should consider:

We believe the following accounting policies involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use.

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method, at the following rates per annum:

​

The assets’ estimated residual values, depreciation methods and estimated useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

The gain or loss arising on retirement or disposal is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

All other costs, such as repairs and maintenance are charged to the operations during the financial period in which they are incurred.

18

Table of Contents

Impairment of long-lived assets

We periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost to dispose.

Discontinued Operations

A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity shall be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. Where an operation is classified as discontinued, a single amount is presented on the face of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The amount of total current assets, total non-current assets, total current liabilities and total non-current liabilities are presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets.

Other income

Prior to November 2019, we had rental revenues derived from certain parcels of land (together with industrial building and premises for dormitory purpose built thereon) located in Furong Industrial District, Furongmei Area, Shajing Street, Xinqiao Village, Bao’an District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province of the PRC, which were being leased to one of Plastec’s subsidiaries under certain tenancy agreements more particularly described in the section titled “Properties” in Item 4.B of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed on May 15, 2019.

On November 20, 2019, we completed the disposal of our former subsidiary holding the right to use the aforesaid parcels of land pursuant to the terms of the Assets Disposal Agreement. After the retrospective adjustments for the deconsolidation of this disposal, which has been classified as discontinued operations, we recorded no operating income for our continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 save for reversals of over-provided accrued expenses of approximately HK$7,000 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 as well as a one-time gain of approximately HK$29,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 arising from disposal of our ownership interests in our then wholly-owned dormant subsidiary with a negative net worth of approximately HK$1,600 to an unaffiliated third-party purchaser for HK$27,000 on June 29, 2020.

Net Cash From Operating Activities. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a net cash outflow from operating activities of approximately HK$3.2 million compared to a net cash outflow from operating activities of approximately HK$2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. These were mainly attributable to more net cash used in continuing operations during the year.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the aggregate amount of compensation paid to our non-executive independent directors was HK$240,000.

C. Board Practices

Director Term of Office

Each director serves until our next annual general meeting, if one is called for, and until his successor is elected and qualified. We have not entered into service or similar contracts with our directors.

Board Committees

We have standing executive, audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees. Except for the executive committee, each of these committees is comprised entirely of independent directors, as defined by the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market. Moreover, the compensation committee is composed exclusively of individuals intended to be, to the extent required by Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, non-employee directors and will, at such times as we are subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, qualify as outside directors for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Executive Committee

Our executive committee is currently comprised of Kin Sun Sze-To and Ho Leung Ning. While the executive committee does not have a formal written charter, the board has determined that the executive committee’s responsibilities will be to generally manage our business affairs and exercise all powers of the board (other than actions that would require the board to act as a whole or which actions are vested in other committees of the board or require shareholder approval).

Audit Committee Information

Our audit committee is currently comprised of Joseph Yiu Wah Chow and Chung Wing Lai, with Joseph Yiu Wah Chow serving as chairman. The audit committee, pursuant to the audit committee charter, is responsible for engaging independent certified

25

Table of Contents

public accountants, preparing audit committee reports, reviewing with the independent certified public accountants the plans and results of the audit engagement, approving professional services provided by the independent certified public accountants, reviewing the independence of the independent certified public accountants, considering the range of audit and non-audit fees, reviewing the adequacy of our internal accounting controls and reviewing all related party transactions.

Financial Experts on Audit Committee

The audit committee will at all times be composed exclusively of “independent directors” who are “financially literate” as defined under NASDAQ listing standards. The definition of “financially literate” generally means being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, statement of comprehensive income and cash flow statement.

In addition, our board of directors has determined that Joseph Yiu Wah Chow satisfies the definition of financial sophistication and also qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under rules and regulations of the SEC.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our nominating and corporate governance committee is currently comprised of Chung Wing Lai and Joseph Yiu Wah Chow, with Chung Wing Lai serving as chairman. The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for seeking, considering and recommending to the board qualified candidates for election as directors and will approve and recommend to the full board of directors the appointment of each of our executive officers. It also periodically prepares and submits to the board of directors for adoption the committee’s selection criteria for director nominees. It reviews and makes recommendations on matters involving the general operation of the board and our corporate governance, and annually recommends to the board nominees for each committee of the board. In addition, the committee annually facilitates the assessment of the board of directors’ performance as a whole and of the individual directors and report thereon to the board.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee currently is comprised of Joseph Yiu Wah Chow and Chung Wing Lai, with Joseph Yiu Wah Chow serving as chairman. The principal functions of the compensation committee are to:

D. Employees

We have no employees as of the date of this Form 20-F.

E. Share Ownership

The disclosure relating to the share ownership of the persons listed in Item 6.B set forth in Item 7.A of this Form 20-F is incorporated herein by reference.

26

Table of Contents

Shares which an individual or group has a right to acquire within 60 days pursuant to the exercise or conversion of options, warrants or other similar convertible or derivative securities, if any, are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such individual or group, but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person shown in the table.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting and investment power. Except as otherwise indicated below, each beneficial owner holds voting and investment power directly. The percentage of ownership is based on 12,938,128 shares issued and outstanding as of May 3, 2022.

​

As of May 3, 2022, there were 17 shareholders of record holding a total of 12,938,128 of our ordinary shares. To the best of our knowledge there were 4 shareholders of record with addresses in the United States holding 556,133 (4.3%) of our outstanding ordinary shares. The foregoing calculations include 1 unit holder with a United States address holding 1,694 units, each consisting of 1 ordinary share. Ordinary shares held in the names of banks, brokers and other intermediaries were assumed to be held by residents of the same country in which the bank, broker or other intermediary was located.

B. Related Party Transactions

Our Code of Ethics and Related Person Policy

In November 2009, our board of directors adopted a code of ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees as well as those of our subsidiaries.

Our Code of Ethics requires it to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interest, except under guidelines approved by the board of directors (or the audit committee, if one exists). Related-party transactions with respect to smaller reporting companies such as us are defined under SEC rules as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the smaller reporting company’s total assets at year end for the last two completed years, (2) we or any of our subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5 percent beneficial owner of our shares, or (c) immediate family member of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10 percent beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when

27

Table of Contents

a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.

Our audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent we enter into such transactions. The audit committee will consider all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related party transaction, including whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. No director will be able to participate in the approval of any transaction in which he is a related party, but that director will be required to provide the audit committee with all material information concerning the transaction. Additionally, we will require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire on an annual basis that elicits information about related party transactions.

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

Our Related Person Transactions

There were no related party transactions involving us or any of our subsidiaries with any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. We require that all ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates will be on terms that we believe to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions require prior approval by a majority of our uninterested “independent” directors or the members of our board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who have access, at our expense, to our attorneys or independent legal counsel.

Cayman Islands Taxation

The government of the Cayman Islands will not, under existing legislation, impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax, estate duty, inheritance tax, gift tax or withholding tax upon the company or its shareholders. The Cayman Islands is not party to any double taxation treaties that are applicable to payments made to or by us.

No Cayman Islands stamp duty will be payable by you in respect of the issue or transfer of ordinary shares. However, an instrument transferring title to an ordinary share, if brought to or executed in the Cayman Islands, would be subject to Cayman Islands stamp duty.

We have received an undertaking from the Governor-in-Cabinet of the Cayman Islands, dated January 11, 2011, that, in accordance with section 6 of the Tax Concessions Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, for a period of 20 years from the date of the undertaking, no law which is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations shall apply to us or our operations and, in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable (i) on the ordinary shares, or on the debentures or other obligations, of the company or (ii) by way of the withholding in whole or in part on a payment of a dividend or other distribution of income or capital by the company to its shareholders or a payment of principal or interest or other sums due under a debenture or other obligation of the company.

PRC Taxation

During fiscal year 2019 through closing of the Assets Disposal Agreement on November 20, 2019, the following is a summary of the material PRC tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares. You should consult with your own tax adviser regarding the PRC tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares in your particular circumstances.

Income from Leasing Real Properties of Our Former Non-PRC Subsidiaries in Shenzhen, PRC

Pursuant to the Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Several Issues concerning the Administration of Income Tax on Non-Resident Enterprise, issued by SAT on April 1, 2011, which was further amended in 2015 and 2017, a non-resident enterprise without any branch or establishment to conduct management within the territory of China leases its immovable property such as houses or buildings in China, the enterprise income tax on the income from the lease of the houses or buildings shall be calculated on the basis of all the rent income. The domestic tenants shall withhold the enterprise income tax when paying the rent or when the rent is due and payable; a non-resident enterprise dispatches employees or entrust other domestic units or individuals to conduct daily management of the aforesaid immovable property within the territory of China, such non-resident enterprise shall be deemed to have a branch or establishment within the territory of China, and it shall, within the time limit specified by the Enterprise Income Tax Law, file a tax return for enterprise income tax and pay it.

At all material times, a former non-PRC subsidiary of ours engaged a PRC individual to manage its real properties in Shenzhen, PRC and to lease, receive income of leasing and pay tax for and on its behalf.

Penalties for Failure to Pay Applicable PRC Income Tax

A non-resident investor in us may be responsible for paying PRC income tax on any gain realized from the sale or transfer of our ordinary shares, if such non-resident investor and the gain satisfy the requirements under the PRC tax laws, as described above.

According to the EIT Law and its implementing rules, the PRC Tax Administration Law (the “Tax Administration Law”) and its implementing rules, Announcement 37 and other applicable PRC laws or regulations (collectively the “Tax Related Laws”), where any gain derived by a non-resident investor from the sale or transfer of our ordinary shares, may be subject to any income tax in the PRC, and such non-resident investor fails to file any tax return or pay tax in this regard pursuant to the Tax Related Laws, such investor may be subject to certain fines, penalties or punishments, including without limitation: (1) if the non-resident investor fails to file a tax return and present the relevant information in connection with tax payments, the competent PRC tax authorities may order it to do so within the prescribed time limit and may impose a fine up to RMB 2,000, and in egregious cases, may impose a fine ranging from RMB 2,000 to RMB 10,000; (2) if the non-resident investor fails to file a tax return or fails to pay all or part of the amount of tax payable, the non-resident investor may be required to pay the unpaid tax amount payable, a surcharge on overdue tax payments (the daily surcharge is 0.05% of the overdue amount, beginning from the day the deferral begins) and a fine ranging from 50% to 500% of the unpaid amount

30

Table of Contents

of the tax payable; (3) if the non-resident investor fails to file a tax return and to pay the tax, the PRC tax authorities may order the non-resident investor to file and pay the tax payable within a prescribed time limit, or may collect and check information about the income receivable by the non-resident investor in the PRC from other payers (the “Other Payers”) who will pay amounts to such non-resident investor and the information about the Other Payers, and send a “Notice of Tax Issues” to the Other Payers to collect and recover the tax payable and overdue fines imposed on such non-resident investor from the amounts otherwise payable to such non-resident investor by the Other Payers; (4) if the non-resident investor fails to pay the tax payable within the prescribed time limit as ordered by the PRC tax authorities, a fine ranging from 50% to 500% of the unpaid tax payable and a surcharge on overdue tax payments (the daily surcharge is 0.05% of the overdue amount, beginning from the day the deferral begins) may be imposed on the non-resident investor, and the PRC tax authorities may, upon approval by the director of the tax bureau (or sub-bureau) of, or higher than, the county level, take the following compulsory measures: (i) notify in writing the non-resident investor’s bank or other financial institution to withhold from the account thereof for payment of the amount of tax payable, and (ii) detain, seal off, or sell by auction or on the market the non-resident investor’s commodities, goods or other property in a value equivalent to the amount of tax payable; or (5) if the non-resident investor fails to pay all or part of the amount of tax payable or the surcharge for the overdue tax payment, and cannot provide a guarantee to the PRC tax authorities, the tax authorities may notify the frontier authorities to prevent the non-resident investor or its legal representative from leaving the PRC.

U.S. Taxation

With respect to the U.S. tax matters discussed, this summary only applies to you if you are a beneficial owner of our ordinary shares and, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, all of the following three points apply to you:

The following description of tax consequences should be considered only as a summary and does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects of acquiring, owning or disposing of our ordinary shares.

Special rules may apply to U.S. expatriates, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, real estate mortgage investment conduits, financial institutions, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, securities broker-dealers, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for the securities holdings, and persons holding their ordinary shares as part of a hedging, straddle, conversion transaction or other integrated investment, among others. Those special rules are not discussed in this Form 20-F. This summary does not address all potential tax implications that may be relevant to you as a holder, in light of your particular circumstances. You should consult your tax advisor concerning the overall U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of your investment in our ordinary shares.

We have not sought, and will not seek, any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (or “IRS”) or any opinion of counsel with respect to the tax consequences discussed below.

Taxation of Dividends

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the gross amount of any dividend we pay on our ordinary shares will be included in your gross income as dividend income to the extent paid or deemed paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits as calculated

31

Table of Contents

for U.S. federal income tax purposes. You must include the gross amount treated as a dividend in income in the year the dividend is paid to you. Cash dividends paid on our ordinary shares will be taxable at ordinary U.S. federal income tax rates. Dividends paid on our ordinary shares do not qualify for the lower rates of federal income tax applicable to non-corporate U.S. holders because our shares are currently quoted only on the OTC Bulletin Board and are not treated as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States.

To the extent that any distributions paid exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits as calculated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the distribution will be treated as follows:

Dividends paid by us will not give rise to any dividends-received deduction generally allowed to a U.S. corporation under Section 243 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

Taxation of Capital Gains

In general, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you will recognize capital gain or loss if you sell or otherwise dispose of your ordinary shares based on the difference between the amount realized on the disposition and your adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares. Any gain or loss generally will be U.S. source gain or loss. If you are a non-corporate holder, and you satisfy certain minimum holding period requirements, any capital gain generally will be treated as long-term capital gain that generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax at preferential rates under current law. Long-term capital gains realized upon a sale or other disposition of the ordinary shares generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the rate of 15%, increased to 20% on taxpayers with taxable income exceeding certain thresholds.

Unearned Income Medicare Tax

A 3.8% Medicare contribution tax will generally apply to all or some portion of net investment income of a U.S. holder that is an individual with adjusted gross income that exceeds a threshold amount. Net investment income includes dividend income and realized capital gains.

U.S. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

In general, if you are a non-corporate U.S. holder of our ordinary shares (or do not come within certain other exempt categories), information reporting requirements will apply to distributions paid to you and proceeds from the sale, exchange redemption or disposal of your ordinary shares. U.S. holders that are corporations generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding tax rules.

Additionally, if you are a non-corporate U.S. holder of our ordinary shares (or do not come within certain other exempt categories) you may be subject to backup withholding at the current applicable rate with respect to such payments, unless you provide a correct taxpayer identification number (your social security number or employer identification number), and with respect to dividend payments, certify that you are not subject to backup withholding and otherwise comply with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Generally, you will be required to provide such certification on Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (“Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification) or a substitute Form W-9.

If you do not provide your correct taxpayer identification number, you may be subject to penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service, as well as backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. In general, any amount withheld under the backup withholding rules should be allowable as a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability (which might entitle you to a refund), provided that you timely furnish the required information to the Internal Revenue Service.

32

Disclosure of Information with Respect to Foreign Financial Assets

Certain U.S. holders are required to report information with respect to their investment in our ordinary shares not held through a custodial account with a U.S. financial institution to the Internal Revenue Service. In general, U.S. taxpayers holding specified “foreign financial assets” (which generally would include our ordinary shares) with an aggregate value exceeding $50,000 will report information about those assets on new IRS Form 8938, which must be attached to the taxpayer’s annual income tax return. Higher asset thresholds apply to U.S. taxpayers who file a joint tax return or who reside abroad. Investors who fail to report required information could become subject to substantial penalties. You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the effect, if any, of holding your ordinary shares on your obligation to file new Form 8938.

U.S. State and Local Taxes

In addition to U.S. federal income tax, you may be subject to U.S. state and local taxes with respect to your ordinary shares. You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the U.S. state and local tax consequences of holding your ordinary shares.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

In general, we would be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year in which either (1) at least 75% of our gross income (looking through certain 25% or more-owned corporate subsidiaries) is passive income or (2) at least 50% of the average value of our assets (looking through certain 25% or more-owned corporate subsidiaries) is attributable to assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. Passive income generally includes, without limitation, dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the disposition of passive assets.

If we were a PFIC for any taxable year during which a taxable U.S. holder held ordinary shares, gain recognized by the U.S. holder on a sale or other disposition (including certain pledges) of the ordinary shares would be allocated ratably over the U.S. holder’s holding period for the ordinary shares. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other disposition and to any year before we became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, for that taxable year, and an interest charge would be imposed on the amount allocated to that taxable year. Further, to the extent that any distribution received by a U.S. holder on its ordinary shares exceeds 125% of the average of the annual distributions on the ordinary shares received during the preceding three years or the U.S. holder’s holding period, whichever is shorter, that distribution (an “excess distribution”) would be subject to taxation in the same manner as gain, described immediately above. Certain elections may be available that would result in alternative treatments (such as mark-to-market treatment) of the ordinary shares. In addition, each U.S. holder of a PFIC is required to file an annual report containing such information as the U.S. Department of the Treasury may require. If we were classified as a PFIC in any year with respect to which a U.S. holder owns ordinary shares, we would continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to the U.S. holder in all succeeding years during which the U.S. holder owns ordinary shares, regardless of whether we continue to meet the tests described above. However, if we ceased to be a PFIC, a U.S. holder of our ordinary shares could avoid some of the adverse effects of the PFIC regime by making a deemed sale election with respect to our ordinary shares.

A U.S. holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the U.S. holder, may have to file an IRS Form 8621 (whether or not a QEF or mark-to market election is made) and such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department.

As a result of the disposition of all of our shareholdings in Plastec in October 2016 and based on the expected composition (and estimated values) of the assets and the nature of the income of us and our subsidiaries and our current plans of operation, we are expected to be treated as a PFIC. However, our actual PFIC status for any taxable year will not be determinable until after the end of such taxable year. Accordingly, there can be no assurance with respect to our status as a PFIC for our current taxable year or any subsequent taxable year. We urge U.S. investors to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules.

PLASTEC TECHNOLOGIES, LTD.

1.          Organization and Business Background

Plastec Technologies, Ltd. (“Company”) (formerly known as “GSME Acquisition Partners I”), incorporated under the laws of Cayman Islands on March 27, 2008, and its subsidiaries (where the context permits, references to the “Company” below shall include references to its subsidiaries (collectively as the “Group”)) had principally been engaged in the provision of integrated plastic manufacturing services from mold design and fabrication, plastic injection manufacturing to secondary-process finishing as well as parts assembly. The Group’s manufacturing activities had been performed in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”) and Thailand during the years through October 11, 2016.  The selling and administrative activities had mainly been performed in China.

On November 14, 2015, the Company entered into a Share Transfer Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Shanghai Yongli Belting Co., Ltd. (“SYB”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Shanghai Yongjing Investment Management Co., Ltd. (“SYIM”). Pursuant to the Agreement, SYIM was to purchase, through a wholly-owned Hong Kong subsidiary (the “HK Subsidiary”), the entirety of the Company’s shareholding interests in its then wholly-owned subsidiary, Plastec International Holdings Limited (“PIHL”) alongside the latter’s subsidiaries (collectively, “PIHL Group”), for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 1,250,000,000 (or US$195,312,500 equivalent, adopting the exchange rate when the transaction was first reported), in cash (the “Transfer Price”) subject to terms and conditions thereof.

The disposal of PIHL was completed on October 11, 2016. As a result, the Company no longer owns PIHL. Thereafter, the Group’s only operations have generally been to complete construction of a manufacturing plant at Kai Ping, China which was disposed of and transferred to PIHL upon its establishment on April 20, 2018 as described below, collect rental income from certain property the Group used to own and which was being leased to one of PIHL’s subsidiaries until November 2019 when the former subsidiary of the Company that held the property was disposed of to an unaffiliated third party as described below and explore other investment opportunities.
