File No. 000-53826

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Plastec Technologies, Ltd. (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) hereby responds as follows to the comment letter from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) dated August 22, 2023, relating to the above-referenced Annual Report on Form 20-F, as amended (“Form 20-F”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Form 20-F.

Amendment No. 1 to Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2022

Item 16I. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections, page 46

1. We note your statement that you reviewed your register of members and public filings made by your shareholders in connection with your required submission under paragraph (a). Please supplementally describe any additional materials that were reviewed and tell us whether you relied upon any legal opinions or third-party certifications such as affidavits as the basis for your submission. In your response, please provide a similarly detailed discussion of the materials reviewed and legal opinions or third-party certifications relied upon in connection with the required disclosures under paragraphs (b)(2) and (3).

We have reviewed written affirmations from each officer of the Company and each member of the Company’s board of directors and the boards of directors of its consolidated foreign operating entities, certifying that such persons do not have any current or prior affiliation with the Chinese Communist Party, or the government of the People’s Republic of China, the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, the British Virgin Islands or any foreign jurisdiction that the PCAOB has determined it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in such foreign jurisdiction.

Based on an examination of the Company’s audited financial statements, register of members and public filings made by its shareholders, these written affirmations collectively represent holders of over 80% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares, including Kin Sun Sze-To, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, who himself beneficially owns 78.3% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares. No other person has a controlling financial interest in the Company.

In addition to the foregoing, in determining whether the Company should take any further steps to analyze the unaccounted for shareholder base, we took into account the fact that the Company is a former special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that completed its initial public offering in the U.S. and is now a non-operating shell company. Except in connection with its business combination with Plastec, the Company has never sold shares in any jurisdiction other than the United States. Based on the foregoing, the Company determined that no additional actions needed to be taken.

Accordingly, the Company respectfully submits that the materials reviewed by it provide a sufficient basis for the Company’s disclosures as required under paragraphs (a) and (b)(2) and (3).

2. In order to clarify the scope of your review, please supplementally describe the steps you have taken to confirm that none of the members of your board or the boards of your consolidated foreign operating entities are officials of the Chinese Communist Party. For instance, please tell us how the board members’ current or prior memberships on, or affiliations with, committees of the Chinese Communist Party factored into your determination. In addition, please tell us whether you have relied upon third party certifications such as affidavits as the basis for your disclosure.

We spoke with each officer of the Company and each member of the Company’s board of directors and the boards of directors of its consolidated foreign operating entities to confirm that such persons do not have any current or prior affiliation with the Chinese Communist Party, the government of the People’s Republic of China, the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, the British Virgin Islands or any foreign jurisdiction that the PCAOB has determined it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in such foreign jurisdiction. We thereafter obtained written affirmations from such individuals confirming the foregoing information.

3. We note that your disclosures pursuant to Item 16I(b) use terms such as “our” or “our company.” It is unclear from the context of these disclosures whether these terms are meant to encompass you and all of your consolidated foreign operating entities or whether in some instances these terms refer solely to Plastec Technologies, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company. Please note that Item 16I(b) requires that you provide each disclosure for yourself and your consolidated foreign operating entities, including variable interest entities or similar structures. To clarify this matter, please provide the following information:

· With respect to (b)(2), please supplementally clarify the jurisdictions in which your consolidated foreign operating entities are organized or incorporated and provide the percentage of your shares or the shares of your consolidated operating entities owned by governmental entities in each foreign jurisdiction in which you have consolidated operating entities in your supplemental response.

· With respect to (b)(3) and (b)(5), please provide the required information for you and all of your consolidated foreign operating entities in your supplemental response.

With respect to the first bullet of the Staff’s comment (relating to (b)(2)), the Company has four subsidiaries: (i) Viewmount Developments Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Viewmount”); (ii) Sun Line Industrial Limited, a Hong Kong company (“Sun Line”); (iii) Sun Ngai Spraying and Silk Print Co., Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (“Sun Ngai”); and (iv) Sun Terrace Industries Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Sun Terrace”). However, Viewmount is the only operating entity, while the other three are dormant non-operating subsidiaries. The Company owns 100% of Viewmount, which owns 100% of each of Sun Line, Sun Ngai and Sun Terrace.

Based on our review of the Company’s audited financial statements, register of members, public filings made by the Company’s shareholders and the written affirmations collectively represent holders of over 80% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares that such persons do not have any current or prior affiliation with the government of the People’s Republic of China, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong, the Company does not believe any of its outstanding ordinary shares or the shares of the Company’s consolidated operating entities are owned by governmental entities in each foreign jurisdiction in which the Company has consolidated operating entities.

With respect to the second bullet of the Staff’s comment (relating to (b)(3)), we will file a second amendment to the Form 20-F in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Amendment”) and therein clarify the disclosure to state that governmental entities in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Company and its consolidated foreign operating entities are incorporated or otherwise organized do not have a controlling financial interest in the Company nor in the Company’s consolidated foreign operating entities.

With respect to the second bullet of the Staff’s comment (relating to (b)(5)), we will clarify the disclosure in the Amendment to state that none of the articles of incorporation (or equivalent organizing document) of the Company or any of its consolidated foreign operating entities contains any charter of the Chinese Communist Party, including the text of any such charter.

4. We note your submission pursuant to Item 16I(a) and your disclosure pursuant to Item 16I(b)(3) address ownership or control by “governmental entities in China.” However, we note your definition of China on page 3 of your Form 20-F distinguishes between mainland China and Hong Kong. Please supplementally tell us the ownership by governmental entities in Hong Kong as well as mainland China.

Based on an examination of the Company’s register of members and public filings made by its shareholders, the Company has confirmed that it is not owned or controlled by any governmental entities in both mainland China and Hong Kong.

5. With respect to your disclosure pursuant to Item 16I(b)(5), we note that you have included language that such disclosure is “to our best knowledge.” Please supplementally confirm without qualification, if true, that your articles and the articles of your consolidated foreign operating entities do not contain wording from any charter of the Chinese Communist Party.

We have confirmed that the Company’s articles and those of its consolidated foreign operating entities do not contain wording from any charter of the Chinese Communist Party.

We thank the Staff for its review of the foregoing and the Form 20-F. If you have any further questions or comments, please feel free to contact our counsel, Jeffrey M. Gallant at jgallant@graubard.com or by telephone at (212) 818-8638.
