Item 8.01 Other Events.
On June 2, 2023, Techpoint, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that on June 1, 2023, its board of directors declared the second installment payment of its cash dividend of an aggregate of $0.50 per share for fiscal 2023, of which $0.25 per share was paid to stockholders in February 2023. The second installment on shares of its common stock (including common stock underlying its Japanese Depositary Shares ("JDS")) will be paid on or around July 18, 2023 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 30, 2023. The timing for receipt of the dividend payments by individual holders of the Company’s common stock and JDS will vary due to the payment process for JDS holders. The amount paid to JDS holders will be reduced by any applicable U.S. withholding income tax, and then converted into Japanese Yen. Once the dividend is converted into Japanese Yen, a distribution payment fee and any additional local taxes will be paid from the distribution amount. As a result, the net amount of the second dividend installment that is ultimately received by JDS holders will be less than $0.25 per JDS. The Company anticipates that JDS holders will be paid the second installment of the fiscal 2023 dividend on or around August 25, 2023.
The payment will be made in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Trust Agreement dated August 31, 2017 between the Company; Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd.; Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation; and The Master Trust Bank of Japan, Ltd., which agreement governs the rights of JDS holders.
A copy of the press release announcing the cash dividend is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
