Item 1. | Security and Issuer |
This statement on Schedule 13D relates to the Common Shares, no par value, of Deswell Industries, Inc., a limited liability International Business Company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Issuer”). The Issuer’s principal offices are located at 10B Edificio Associacao Industrial De Macau, 32 Rua do Comandante Mata e Oliveira, Macao.
Item 2. | Identity and Background |
(a)-(c) | This statement is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) by Lau Wai Ming, whose principal business address is 10B Edificio Associacao Industrial De Macau, 32 Rua do Comandante Mata e Oliveira, Macao. Ms. Lau is the Chair of the Board of Directors of the Issuer. |

(f) | Ms. Lau is a citizen of Hong Kong. |
Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
Ms. Lau is the daughter of Richard Pui Hon Lau, the former Chairman of the Board of the Issuer. Mr. Lau passed away on June 12, 2023. Upon the settlement of his estate, Ms. Lau inherited all of the Common Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Lau and filed a Schedule 13D on May 29, 2024 reflecting such ownership. This Schedule 13D amendment is being filed to reflect the transfer of shares previously held of record by Mr. Lau to Ms. Lau upon Mr. Lau’s death and the satisfaction of the transfer documentation requested by the transfer agent.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
Ms. Lau holds the Common Shares covered by this Schedule 13D for investment purposes. Ms. Lau intends to review her investment in the Company on a continuing basis. Depending on the price and availability of the Company’s securities, developments affecting the Company, the business prospects of the Company, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations, investment considerations and/or other factors deemed relevant, Ms. Lau may consider increasing or decreasing her investment in the Company, through one or more open market purchases or private transactions.
Ms. Lau beneficially owns the majority of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company. This will impede the acquisition of control by any other person, unless Ms. Lau elects to sell her Common Shares. Ms. Lau does not have any current plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions set forth in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
