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. | Based solely on our review of the List of Shareholders, as of 21 May 2026, each Selling Shareholder was the registered holder of the number of Ordinary Shares set against their respective name in the Schedule, respectively, and such Ordinary Shares are 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 of such shares). |
