Dear Sirs/Mesdames:
 
Re: Registration Statement on Form F-1

 

We have acted as Canadian counsel for Xanadu Quantum Technologies Limited (the “Corporation”), a corporation incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”), in connection with the filing of a Registration Statement on Form F-1 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), including the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”), covering the resale by certain selling securityholders of:

 

(a)up to 30,000,000 class B subordinate voting shares, without par value (“Class B Subordinate Voting Shares”) to be issued and sold pursuant to a standby equity purchase agreement dated May 20, 2026, by and between the Corporation and YA II PN, LTD. (the “Purchase Agreement” and such Class B Subordinate Voting Shares, the “Advance Shares”); and

 

(b)up to 100,000 Class B Subordinate Voting Shares issued in connection with an engagement letter dated August 21, 2025 and amended October 2, 2025 (the “Cohen Engagement Letter”) between Xanadu Quantum Technologies Inc. (a subsidiary of the Corporation) and Cohen & Company Securities, LLC (the “Cohen Shares”).

 

Any terms used in this opinion that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Registration Statement.

(b)the Purchase Agreement;

 

 

 

 

 

(c)the Cohen Engagement Letter;

 

(d)the certificate and articles of the Corporation; and

 

(e)the by-laws of the Corporation.
