Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 14, 2023, the Board of Directors of Techpoint, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a cash dividend of an aggregate of $0.50 per share of common stock (including common stock underlying its Japanese Depositary Shares (“JDS”)) for fiscal 2024, payable in two equal installments of $0.25 per share. The first installment of the dividend is payable to stockholders of record as of the close of business on January 31, 2024 and will be paid on or around February 15, 2024. 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 first dividend installment that is ultimately received by JDS holders will be less than $0.25 per JDS.

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.

The second installment of the dividend is currently anticipated to be paid in the third fiscal quarter of 2024. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record dates and payment dates are subject to the final determination of the Company’s Board of Directors.

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.

Exhibit 99.1

 

Techpoint, Inc. announces dividend

December 15, 2023

 

San Jose, CA. — (Business Wire) — Techpoint, Inc. announced that on December 14, 2023, its board of directors declared a special cash dividend of an aggregate of $0.50 per share for fiscal 2024, payable in two equal installments of $0.25 per share. The first installment of the dividend is payable to stockholders of record on January 31, 2024. The payment date for the first installment on its shares of common stock (including common stock underlying its Japanese Depositary Shares (JDS)) will be on or around February 15, 2024. The second installment of the dividend is currently anticipated to be paid in the third fiscal quarter of 2024, subject to the discretion of Techpoint’s board of directors and in accordance with applicable law.

The timing for receipt of the dividend payments by individual holders of Techpoint’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 first 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 first installment of the fiscal 2024 dividend in late-March of 2024. 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.

Techpoint’s board of directors previously adopted a dividend policy to link dividend payments to business performance on an ongoing basis. The amount to be paid in future dividends will be reviewed by the board of directors, with an aggregate dividend target amount for each fiscal year equal to approximately 50% of Techpoint’s annual non-GAAP net income1 for the prior fiscal year. This policy can be modified or terminated at any time at the discretion of Techpoint’s board of directors.
