Equity Method Investments Jinyu On December 10, 2023, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire 40% of the equity interests in Ningbo Jinyu Technology Industry Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Jinyu"), a leading manufacturer of dispensing technologies in China for approximately $84 million subject to final closing conditions. This transaction is expected to close in 2024, subject to satisfaction and completion of various closing conditions. BTY On January 1, 2020, we acquired 49% of the equity interests in three related companies: Suzhou Hsing Kwang, Suqian Hsing Kwang and Suzhou BTY (collectively referred to as “BTY”) for an approximate purchase price of $32.0 million. We have a call option to acquire an additional 26% to 31% of BTY’s equity interests following the initial lock-up period of 5 years based on a predetermined formula. Subsequent to the second lock-up period, which ends 3 years after the initial lock-up period, we have a call option to acquire the remaining equity interests of BTY based on a predetermined formula. Additionally, the selling shareholders of BTY have a put option for the remaining equity interest to be acquired by Aptar based on a predetermined formula. The BTY entities are leading Chinese manufacturers of high quality, decorative metal components, metal-plastic sub-assemblies, and complete color cosmetics packaging solutions for the beauty industry. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, Aptar had purchases of $2.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively, from BTY. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximately $1.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively, was due to BTY and included in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Sonmol On April 1, 2020, we invested $5.0 million to acquire 30% of the equity interests in Healthcare, Inc., Shanghai Sonmol Internet Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiary, Shanghai Sonmol Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. (collectively referred to as “Sonmol”). Sonmol is a leading Chinese pharmaceutical company that provides consumer electric devices and connected devices for asthma control. Desotec GmbH During 2009, we invested €574 thousand to acquire 23% of the equity interests in Desotec GmbH, a leading manufacturer of special assembly machines for bulk processing for the pharmaceutical, beauty and closures markets. Other Investments In prior years, we invested, through a series of transactions, an aggregate amount of $2.9 million in preferred equity investments in Loop, a sustainability company. In prior years, we also invested, through a series of transactions, $3.0 million in PureCycle and received $0.7 million of equity in exchange for our resource dedication for technological partnership and support. In November 2020, we increased the value of the PureCycle investment by $3.1 million based on observable price changes. In March 2021, PureCycle was purchased by a special purpose acquisition company and was subsequently listed on Nasdaq under the ticker PCT. At that time, our investment in PureCycle was converted into shares of PCT resulting in less than a 1% ownership interest. This investment is now recorded at fair value based on observable market prices for identical assets and the change in fair value is recorded as a net investment gain or loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
