This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) discloses certain individual holdings of Mr. Richard Pui Hon Lau (“Mr. Lau”) of the common shares without par value (“Common Shares”) of Deswell Industries, Inc., a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Company”) that have not been previously disclosed by Mr. Lau in his individual capacity in a Schedule 13D filing. Mr. Lau is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

Prior to September 25, 2007 (the “Distribution Date”), Mr. Lau held certain Common Shares of the Company through Leesha Holdings Limited, an investment holding company organized as an International Business Company under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Leesha”). At the Distribution Date, Leesha was wholly owned by Mr. Lau and two other individuals in equal shares. Until the Distribution Date, among other investments, Leesha owned 3,453,750 Common Shares of the Company, which had been transferred to Leesha by its owners shortly after the Company’s

 
 

initial public offering in 1996. On the Distribution Date, Leesha declared a dividend to its owners consisting of all 3,453,750 Common Shares of the Company it then held, thereby distributing 1,151,250 shares of the Company to Mr. Lau (the “Distribution”). No Amendment to Schedule 13D has been filed by Leesha with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) since the Distribution Date. Since the Distribution Date, Mr. Lau’s ownership of the Common Shares of the Company has been disclosed by the Company annually in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F.

 

Prior to the Distribution Date, in addition to the Common Shares held by Mr. Lau through Leesha, Mr. Lau also held certain Common Shares of record individually and had been granted certain options to purchase Common Shares pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans. Since the Distribution Date, Mr. Lau has acquired additional Common Shares pursuant to (a) certain isolated open market transactions and (b) the exercise of purchase options granted to Mr. Lau pursuant to the Company’s stock options plans from time-to-time.

 

The percentage calculations in the above cover page, and as set forth below, are based on a total outstanding number of Common Shares of the Company of 16,056,239, such number as provided by the Company as of March 31, 2014.
