Dear Sir/ Madam,

 

Re:Powell Max Limited (the “Company”)

 

We have acted as special British Virgin Islands legal counsel to the Company in connection with registration statement on form F-3 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on or about the date hereof (the “Registration Statement”) and the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”) relating to the registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) of up to 74,809,231 Class A ordinary shares, par value US$0.0008 each (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) of the Company to be issued: (i) upon the conversion of certain Class C ordinary shares, par value US$0.0008 each (the “Class C Ordinary Shares”) of the Company; (ii) upon the exercise of certain common warrants (the “Common Warrants”) of the Company; and (iii) upon the exercise of certain placement agent warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) of the Company. The Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion or exercise of the Class C Ordinary Shares, the Common Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants will be issued to the Selling Shareholders (as defined in the Prospectus) for offering and sale by them from time to time. The Company is registering the Class A Ordinary Shares on behalf of the Selling Shareholders.

4.OPINION

 

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

 

4.1.The Company is duly incorporated and existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands in good standing (meaning solely that it has not failed to make any filing with any British Virgin Islands governmental authority or to pay any British Virgin Islands government fee or tax which would make it liable to be struck off the Register of Companies and thereby cease to exist under the laws of the British Virgin Islands).

 

4.2.The allotment and issue of the Class A Ordinary Shares by the Company to the Selling Shareholders have been duly authorised. When issued and paid for pursuant to the terms of issue and upon registering in the register of members of the Company, such Class A Ordinary Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (which term when used herein means that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue thereof).

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and further consent the references to our firm under the captions “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities”, “BVI Taxation” and “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement.

 

In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are experts within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act or that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

 

Yours faithfully,
