Opinion
10. | Based solely on our review of the Registration Statement and reading together with the foregoing and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth herein, and subject further to any matter not disclosed to us, and paying due regard to the current laws of Hong Kong whereof relevance being duly considered, we are of the opinion that: |
(a) | Based solely on the AM PM (HK) Documents, AM PM (HK) is a private company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability under the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “Companies Ordinance”), remains registered as a limited company, is validly subsisting and in good standing under the Companies Ordinance, and has the legal capacity to sue and be sued in its own name in Hong Kong. |
(b) | As at the date of this Opinion, AM PM (HK) has obtained valid business registration certificate under the Business Registration Ordinance (Chapter 310 of the Laws of Hong Kong). |
(c) | Based solely on the results of the Winding-Up Search and without any further independent due diligence and/or verification on our part, as at 15 September 2025, there is no outstanding winding-up petition concerning AM PM (HK). |
(d) | The narration of Hong Kong laws set forth in the Registration Statement under the captions “Prospectus Summary”, “Enforcement of Civil Liabilities”, “Risk Factors”, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, “Business”, and “Regulations” with each topic insofar gives concise summary of Hong Kong laws, having encapsulated the matters fairly and unerringly referred to therein in all material respects with nothing being omitted from such narration thus conducing to the same being misleading in any material aspect. |
(e) | The narration of Hong Kong laws set forth in the Registration Statement under the caption “Material Income Tax Considerations - Hong Kong Taxation” with such topic insofar gives a true, accurate and concise summary of local tax laws having encapsulated such laws with respect to Hong Kong tax laws being applicable to the business of AM PM (HK) incorporated in Hong Kong in all material respects. |

Qualifications
11. | This Opinion is subject to the following qualifications: |
(a) | We express no opinion as to any law other than the laws of Hong Kong. We have not investigated, and we do not express or imply any opinion on, the laws of a jurisdiction outside Hong Kong, and we have assumed that no such laws of a jurisdiction outside Hong Kong would affect the opinion stated herein. |
(b) | We express no opinion on how courts in countries outside Hong Kong would apply Hong Kong laws or on the enforceability of awards of such courts in Hong Kong. |
(c) | We express no responsibility for, and disclaim any liability in respect of, any part of the Registration Statement other than the narration of the laws of Hong Kong set out in paragraphs 10(d) and 10(e) hereinabove. |
(d) | This opinion is based solely and exclusively on the description of the Company’s business and activities as set out in the Registration Statement. We express no opinion and make no comment on the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency of such description. |
(e) | Where obligations are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside Hong Kong, they may not be enforceable in Hong Kong to the extent that performance would be illegal under the laws of that jurisdiction. |
(f) | We have not verified whether any internal or external limitation on the powers of the signatories to bind each of the parties has been exceeded with respect to AM PM (HK) to the extent that such limitation is not contained in the documents referred to in paragraph 4 headed “Documents examined”. |
(g) | We express no opinion as to matters of fact, on taxation (other than the opinion stated in paragraph 10(e) hereinabove), financial, commercial/business, technical, operational or accounting matters, or as to any provision of any document that purports to bind a person not a party to the document. |
(h) | This Opinion is subject to any limitations arising from any applicable bankruptcy, liquidation, insolvency, reorganisation, administration and other similar laws and equitable principles relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, in particular but without limitation, the following sections of the Companies (Winding up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Chapter 32 of the laws of Hong Kong): |
(i) | section 264 (application of bankruptcy rules in winding-up of insolvent companies); |

(i) | We express no opinion as to any agreement, instrument or other document other than as specified in this Opinion. |
(j) | Where any matters set out in this Opinion are expressed to be based on our knowledge or with reference to matters of which we are aware, such knowledge is limited to the current actual knowledge of the solicitors of this firm who have worked on matters for the Company in connection with the Offering and the transactions contemplated thereunder, without any independent investigation having been undertaken for the purpose of this Opinion, 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. |
(k) | Any Companies Registry search may not conclusively reflect the corporation situation of AM PM (HK) due to (i) failure by officers of AM PM (HK) to file documents that ought to be filed, (ii) statutory prescribed time-period within which documents evidencing corporate actions may be filed, (iii) the possibility of additional delays (beyond the statutory time-limits) between the taking of the corporation action and the necessary filing at the Companies Registry, (iv) the possibility of delays at the Companies Registry in the registration of documents and their subsequent copying onto the microfiche, and (v) errors and mis-filing that may occur. |
(l) | The Official Receiver’s Office search relates only to a compulsory winding up or bankruptcy and is not capable of conclusively revealing (i) whether or not a winding up/bankruptcy petition in respect of a compulsory winding up/bankruptcy has been presented, and (ii) whether or not individual voluntary arrangement has been entered into since details of a petition or individual voluntary arrangement may not have been entered on the records of the Official Receiver’s Office by the time of the search. |
(m) | Notice of winding up/bankruptcy petition, a winding-up/bankruptcy order or resolution, or a notice of appointment of receiver (or similar insolvency representative) may not be filed at the Companies Registry or with the Official Receiver’s Office immediately and there may be a delay in the relevant notice appearing on the file of the company concerned. |
