We have not been asked to, and do not, advise in relation to the past, present or future financial or good standing of HK Subsidiary or any of the parties or proposed parties to the Documents or any person which may have a right or obligation arising out of or in connection with any Document, nor as to their likely ability to comply with their respective obligations set out in or, as the case may be, proposed under any Document, nor as to the commercial merit of relying on any obligation entered into or rights provided for under or in connection with the Documents.
Searches and enquiries
5. | We have carried out and examined and relied on the results of the following searches; |
|
|
(a) | litigation searches conducted by Central Business Information Limited (the “Search Agent”) and received by us on 26 August 2025 on the cause books kept at the Registry of the High Court of Hong Kong and the District Court of Hong Kong against the HK Subsidiary (the “Litigation Search”); |
|
|
(b) | searches conducted by the Search Agent and received by us on 26 August 2025 through the online system of the Official Receiver’s Office in Hong Kong for compulsory winding up in respect of the name of the HK Subsidiary (the “Official Receiver Search”); and |
|
|
(c) | the publicly available records of the Companies Registry of Hong Kong in relation to the HK Subsidiary retrieved by us on 26 August 2025 (the “Companies Registry Search”), (together, the “Searches”). |
Assumptions
6. | In considering the Documents and in rendering this opinion we have, without any further enquiry, assumed: |
|
|
(a) | the genuineness of all signatures and seals (where applicable) on, and the authenticity and (except in the case of a document which is expressly stated to be an extract) the completeness of, all documents or copy documents (including, without limitation, the Documents) submitted to us; |

(b) | the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as photocopies or facsimile copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents submitted as photocopies or facsimile copies; |
|
|
(c) | the persons who signed the Documents were duly authorised by the relevant party and there has been no revocation of such authorisation; that each Document has been properly signed or properly executed (including, where applicable, sealed with the correct seal) and delivered by or on behalf of each party in accordance with the laws of its jurisdiction of organisation or incorporation. |

|
(d) | the Documents remain in full force and effect on the date of this opinion and have not been revoked, amended or supplemented, and no amendments, revisions, supplements, modifications or other changes have been made, and no revocations or termination has occurred, with respect to any Documents after they were submitted to us for the purposes of this opinion. |

Opinion
7. | On the basis of the assumptions and subject to the qualifications set out in this opinion, we are of the opinion that: |
|
|
(a) | the HK Subsidiary has been duly incorporated under the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and is a limited company, with a valid business registration certificate; |
|
|
(b) | based solely on the results of the Litigation Search and the Official Receiver Search conducted as detailed in paragraph 5 of this opinion: (i) no petition for the winding up or bankruptcy petition, as the case may be, of the HK Subsidiary or petition for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator of the HK Subsidiary, and (ii) no actions, suits or proceedings before the courts of Hong Kong against the HK Subsidiary are outstanding; |
|
|
(c) | based solely on the results of the Companies Registry Search conducted as detailed in paragraph 5 of this opinion: no mortgages, charges and other encumbrances registered with the Companies Registry of Hong Kong that have not been discharged in respect of any of the HK Subsidiary; |
|
|
(d) | the statements set forth in the Registration Statement insofar as such statements purport to describe or summarise Hong Kong legal matters currently in effect at the date of this opinion stated therein as at the date hereof, are true and accurate in all material respects, and represent a fair and accurate summary in all material respects of the Hong Kong legal matters stated therein as at the date hereof; and |
|
|
(e) | the statements set forth in the Registration Statement under the caption “Hong Kong Taxation” are true and accurate in all material respects and that such statements constitute our opinions. |
Qualifications
8. | This opinion is subject to the following qualifications: |
|
|
(a) | this opinion is limited to the laws of Hong Kong and of general application on the date hereof. We have not made investigation of, and do not express or imply any view on, the laws of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong, and accordingly express or imply no opinion, whether directly or indirectly, on the laws of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong; |
|
|
(b) | the laws of Hong Kong referred to herein are the laws and regulations publicly available and currently in force on the date hereof and there is no guarantee that any of such laws and regulations, or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, will not be changed, amended or revoked in the future with or without retrospective effect; |
|
|
(c) | this opinion is issued based on the laws of Hong Kong that are currently in effect. For matters which are not explicitly provided for under the laws of Hong Kong, the future interpretation, implementation and application of the specific requirements under the laws of Hong Kong are subject to the final discretion of competent Hong Kong legislative, administrative and judicial authorities, and there can be no assurance that the government agencies will not ultimately take a view that is contrary to our opinion stated above; |
|
|
(d) | this opinion is subject to the effects of (a) certain legal or statutory principles affecting the enforceability of contractual rights generally under the concepts of public interest, social ethics, national security, good faith, fair dealing, and applicable statutes of limitation; (b) any circumstance in connection with formulation execution or performance of any legal documents that would be deemed materially mistaken, clearly unconscionable, fraudulent, coercionary or concealing illegal intentions with a lawful form; (c) judicial discretion with respect to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, remedies or defences, or calculation of damages; and (d) the discretion of any competent Hong Kong legislative, administrative or judicial bodies in exercising their authority in Hong Kong; |
Page 5
(e) | we may rely, as to matters of fact (but not as to legal conclusions), to the extent we deem proper, on certificates and confirmations of responsible officers of the Company, the HK Subsidiary, relevant governmental and regulatory authorities, and public searches conducted in Hong Kong and such matters of facts and the legal conclusions drawn therefrom are subject to any limitation, disclaimers or qualifications therein, and that they are further subject to and limited by the documents and information made available to us, including without limitation the HK Subsidiary’s internal records and other documents which may not be a complete and accurate representation or record of the matters contained therein; |
|
|
(f) | the Searches are not capable of revealing conclusively whether any such orders, resolutions, appointments, statutory declarations or notices of appointment have been filed or placed on the public record; |
|
|
(g) | the Companies Registry Search is not capable of revealing conclusively whether or not: |
| (i) | a winding-up order has been made or a resolution passed for the winding-up of a company; |
|
|
|
| (ii) | a receiver, receiver and manager, or liquidator has been appointed; or |
|
|
|
| (iii) | amendments have been made to the memorandum and articles of association of a company, since notice of these matters may not be filed with the Hong Kong Companies Registry immediately and, when filed, may not be entered on the public database or recorded on the public microfiches of the relevant company immediately. In addition, the Company Search is not capable of revealing, prior to the making of the relevant order, whether or not a winding-up petition has been presented; |
(h) | the Official Receiver Search relates only to a compulsory winding-up and is not capable of revealing conclusively whether or not a winding-up petition in respect of a compulsory winding-up has been presented, since details of the petition may not have been entered on the records of the Official Receiver’s Office or High Court of Hong Kong (as appropriate) immediately; |
|
|
(i) | the results of the Litigation Search are provided by the Search Agent, and the results may not be conclusive. There may also be a time lag between receipt of information and the time that the information is entered into the search agent’s database; |
|
|
(j) | this opinion is intended to be used in the context which is specifically referred to herein. It should be read as a whole and each paragraph of this opinion should not be read independently; |
|
|
(k) | this opinion is strictly limited to the matters stated herein and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein. The opinion expressed herein is rendered only as of the date hereof, and we assume no responsibility to advise you of facts, circumstances, events or developments that hereafter may be brought to our attention and that may alter, affect or modify the opinion expressed herein; and |
|
|
(l) | we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of any fact, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of any fact should be drawn from our representation of the Company or the rendering of this opinion. |
Yours faithfully | |
