Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Statement on Schedule 13D relates to the common shares, par value $0.01 per share, of Asia Pacific Wire & Cable Corporation Limited, a Bermuda corporation (the “Issuer”). The address of the Issuer’s principal office is 7/Fl B, No. 132, Sec 3, Min-Sheng East Road, Taipei 105, Taiwan, Republic of China.

Item 2. Identity and Background

(a)        This Schedule 13D is being filed on behalf of LONSIN Capital Limited (“Lonsin”), Jonathan Chia Croft and Marco Elser.

(b)        The address of Lonsin Capital, Mr. Croft and Mr. Elser is c/o LONSIN Capital Limited, 15 Bolton Street, London W1J 8BG, United Kingdom.

(c)        Lonsin is an investment advisor in the United Kingdom. Mr. Croft’s principal occupation is as manager and chief investment officer of LONSIN Capital. Mr. Elser’s principal occupation is as manager of LONSIN Capital.

(d)        Neither Lonsin, Mr. Croft nor Mr. Elser has, during the past five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e)        Neither Lonsin, Mr. Croft nor Mr. Elser has, during the past five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

(f)        Lonsin is a corporation organized under the laws of the United Kingdom. Mr. Croft is a citizen of United Kingdom, and Mr. Elser is a citizen of United States, and a resident in Italy.

(g)        Lonsin has beneficial ownership of the shares in the accounts which it manages by virtue of it right to vote and dispose of the shares held by the managed accounts. Mr. Croft and Mr. Elser each has beneficial ownership of the shares held by the managed accounts by virtue of their being managers of Lonsin with the right to vote and dispose of securities beneficially owned by Lonsin, including securities held in the managed accounts.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Lonsin is an investment advisor in the United Kingdom, and Mr. Croft and Mr. Elser are the managers of Lonsin. The shares were purchased for ten accounts that are managed by Lonsin using funds from those accounts. None of the accounts individually owns 5% or more of the Issuer’s common shares.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Affiliates of Lonsin have been shareholders of the Issuer since 1996. They have expressed concern to management, both orally and in writing, concerning the failure of the Issuer to take any action to enhance shareholder value and to include additional independent directors. On May 18, 2016, Lonsin wrote to Mr. Yuan Chun Tang, the Issuer’s chief executive officer, and to the board of directors, suggesting that they consider some or all of (i) a proposal to elect independent directors, (ii) a proposal of action regarding a share buy-back, (iii) a proposal to adopt a positive share dividend policy, and (iv) a proposal to make a capital distribution to shareholders.

Recognizing that Pacific Electric Wire & Cable Co., Ltd. (“PEWC”) directly or indirectly owns 75.4% of the Issuer’s common shares, with the result that the Issuer is not required to have, and does not have, a majority of independent directors, and PEWC has the power to accept or reject any proposal submitted to or by shareholders, Lonsin hopes that, since Lonsin is now a 5% shareholder and is filing this Schedule 13D, PEWC will pay more attention to the concerns which Lonsin has raised.

Lonsin may, in its discretion, make additional purchases of the Issuer’s common shares or sell any or all of the shares of the Issuer’s common shares over which it has the power of disposition. Lonsin may take other action to seek to protect its rights as a minority shareholder, including proposing the election of Mr. Croft or Mr. Elser as a director. Except to the extent that any of the foregoing may result in such an event, neither Lonsin nor Mr. Croft nor Mr. Elser has any plans or proposals which would result in any of the changes listed in (a) through (j) of Item 4 to Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Lonsin, by virtue of its ability to vote and dispose of the common shares held by accounts which it manages, and each of Mr. Croft and Mr. Elser, by virtue of his position as a manager of Lonsin with the right to vote and dispose of the common shares held in such accounts, has beneficial ownership of 714,170 common shares.

Of the shares in accounts managed by Lonsin:

(a)        LONSIN Global Credit Fund, an affiliate of Lonsin, owns 350,102 shares, or 2.5% of the issued and outstanding common shares. Mr. Croft and Mr. Elser, as managers of this fund, have the joint right to vote and dispose of the common shares owned by the fund, and thereby also beneficially own the shares owned by the fund;

(b)        Mr. Elser and Elser and Co., of which Mr. Elser has the right to vote and dispose of the shares, own 33,400 common shares (0.2%) and 94,000 shares (0.7%) and thereby also beneficially owns these shares.

(c)        Mr. Croft owns 10,000 common shares (less than 0.1%) in his own name and thereby also beneficially owns such shares.

During the 60 days prior to the date of this filing, the accounts managed by Lonsin acquired the following shares at the following prices:
