The following opinions are given only as to, and based on, circumstances and matters of fact existing and known to us on the date of this opinion letter. These opinions only relate to the laws of the Cayman Islands which are in force on the date of this opinion letter. In giving the following opinions, we have relied (without further verification) upon the completeness and accuracy, as at the date of this opinion letter, of the Director’s Certificate and the Certificate of Good Standing. We have also relied upon the following assumptions, which we have not independently verified:
| 2.1 | The
|
| 2.2 | The
|
| 2.3 | Where
the |
| 2.4 | Copies of documents, conformed copies or drafts of documents provided to us are true and complete copies of, or in the final forms of, the originals, and translations of documents provided to us are complete and accurate. |
| 2.5 | All signatures, initials and seals are genuine. |
| 2.6 | The
capacity, power, authority and legal right of all parties under all relevant laws and regulations
(other than, with respect to the Company, the laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands)
to enter into, execute, unconditionally deliver and perform their respective obligations
under the |
| 2.7 | There
is no contractual or other prohibition or restriction (other than as arising under Cayman
Islands law) binding on the Company prohibiting or restricting it from entering into and
performing its obligations under the |

monies paid to or for the account of any party under the |
| 2 |
| 2.9 | There is nothing contained in the minute book or corporate records of the Company (which, other than the records set out in paragraph 1.3 of this opinion letter, we have not inspected) which would or might affect the opinions set out below. |
| 2.10 | The
Company has not entered into any mortgages or charges over its property or assets other than
those entered in the register of mortgages and charges of the Company, or as contemplated
by the |
| 2.11 | The Company will receive money or money’s worth in consideration for the issue of the Ordinary Shares and none of the Ordinary Shares will be issued for less than their par value. |

| 2.13 | The issue of the Ordinary Shares will be of commercial benefit to the Company. |

| 2.16 | There is nothing under any law (other than the laws of the Cayman Islands) which would or might affect the opinions set out below. Specifically, we have made no independent investigation of the Relevant Law. |
Save as aforesaid we have not been instructed to undertake and have not undertaken any further enquiry or due diligence in relation to the transaction the subject of this opinion letter.
| 3 | Opinions |
Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing assumptions and the qualifications set out below, and having regard to such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:
| 3.1 | The Company has been duly incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability and is validly existing and in good standing with the Registrar of Companies under the laws of the Cayman Islands. |
| 3.2 | The
Ordinary Shares to be issued by the Company as contemplated by the |
| 4 | Qualifications |
The opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:
| 4.1 | The
obligations assumed by the Company under the |
| (a) | enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganisation, readjustment of debts or moratorium or other laws of general application relating to, protecting or affecting the rights of creditors and/or contributories; | |
| (b) | enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity. For example, equitable remedies such as specific performance may not be available, inter alia, where damages are considered to be an adequate remedy; | |
| (c) | some claims may become barred under relevant statutes of limitation or may be or become subject to defences of set off, counterclaim, estoppel and similar defences; | |
| (d) | where obligations are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands, they may not be enforceable in the Cayman Islands to the extent that performance would be illegal under the laws of that jurisdiction; | |
| (e) | the courts of the Cayman Islands have jurisdiction to give judgment in the currency of the relevant obligation and statutory rates of interest payable upon judgments will vary according to the currency of the judgment. If the Company becomes insolvent and is made subject to a liquidation proceeding, the courts of the Cayman Islands will require all debts to be proved in a common currency, which is likely to be the “functional currency” of the Company determined in accordance with applicable accounting principles. Currency indemnity provisions have not been tested, so far as we are aware, in the courts of the Cayman Islands; | |
| (f) | arrangements that constitute penalties will not be enforceable; | |
| (g) | enforcement may be prevented by reason of fraud, coercion, duress, undue influence, misrepresentation, public policy or mistake or limited by the doctrine of frustration of contracts; | |
| (h) | provisions imposing confidentiality obligations may be overridden by compulsion of applicable law or the requirements of legal and/or regulatory process; | |
| (i) | the
courts of the Cayman Islands may decline to exercise jurisdiction in relation to substantive
proceedings brought under or in relation to the | |
| (j) | any
provision in the | |
| (k) | any
provision of the |
| 3 |
| (l) | we
reserve our opinion as to the enforceability of the relevant provisions of the | |
| (m) | a
company cannot, by agreement or in its articles of association, restrict the exercise of
a statutory power and there is doubt as to the enforceability of any provision in the | |
| (n) | enforcement or performance of any provision in the Documents which relates, directly or indirectly, to an interest in the Company constituting shares, voting rights or ultimate effective control over management in the Company may be prohibited or restricted if any such relevant interest is or becomes subject to a restrictions notice issued under the Beneficial Ownership Transparency Act (As Revised). |
| 4.2 | Applicable
court fees will be payable in respect of the enforcement of the |
| 4.3 | Cayman
Islands stamp duty may be payable if the original |
| 4.4 | To maintain the Company in good standing with the Registrar of Companies under the laws of the Cayman Islands, annual filing fees must be paid and returns made to the Registrar of Companies within the time frame prescribed by law. |
| 4.5 | We
express no opinion as to the meaning, validity or effect of any references to foreign (i.e.
non-Cayman Islands) statutes, rules, regulations, codes, judicial authority or any other
promulgations and any references to them in the |
| 4.6 | Under Cayman Islands law, the register of members (shareholders) is prima facie evidence of title to shares and this register would not record a third party interest in such shares. However, there are certain limited circumstances where an application may be made to a Cayman Islands court for a determination on whether the register of members reflects the correct legal position. Further, the Cayman Islands court has the power to order that the register of members maintained by a company should be rectified where it considers that the register of members does not reflect the correct legal position. As far as we are aware, such applications are rarely made in the Cayman Islands and there are no circumstances or matters of fact known to us on the date of this opinion letter which would properly form the basis for an application for an order for rectification of the register of members of the Company, but if such an application were made in respect of the Ordinary Shares, then the validity of such shares may be subject to re-examination by a Cayman Islands court. |
| 4.7 | Except as specifically stated herein, we make no comment with respect to any representations and warranties which may be made by or with respect to the Company in any of the documents or instruments cited in this opinion letter or otherwise with respect to the commercial terms of the transactions the subject of this opinion letter. |
| 4.8 | In this opinion letter the phrase “non-assessable” means, with respect to the issuance of shares, that a shareholder shall not, in respect of the relevant shares and in the absence of a contractual arrangement, or an obligation pursuant to the memorandum and articles of association, to the contrary, have any obligation to make further contributions to the Company’s assets (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil). |
We
express no view as to the commercial terms of the
We express no opinion with respect to any direct or indirect acquisition, disposal or exercise of rights by the Company of or in respect of any interest in any property governed by the laws of or situated in the Cayman Islands.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references to our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement. In providing our consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder.
The
opinions in this opinion letter are strictly limited to the matters contained in the opinions section above and do not extend to any
other matters. We have not been asked to review and we therefore have not reviewed any of the ancillary documents relating to the
