We have acted as special Cayman Islands legal counsel to the Company in connection with a registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”, which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on or about the date hereof relating to the registration for resale by the persons set out in the Schedule hereto (the “Selling Shareholders”) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) of up to an aggregate of 18,421,000 ordinary shares, par value US$0.06 each of the Company consisting of (i) 5,175,437 ordinary shares, par value US$0.06 each of the Company (the “Closing Shares”); (ii) 964,913 ordinary shares, par value US$0.06 of the Company (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) issuable upon exercise of the 964,913 pre-funded warrants exercisable at an exercise price of US$1.71 per share; and (iii) 12,280,700 ordinary shares, par value US$0.06 of the Company (together with the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares” and together with the Closing Shares, the “Offer Shares”) issuable upon exercise of the 12,280,700 common warrants at an exercise price of US$1.71 per share.

3.QUALIFICATIONS

 

3.1.We have made no investigation of and express no opinion in relation to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Cayman Islands. This opinion is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and is limited to and is given on the basis of the current law and practice in the Cayman Islands. This opinion is issued solely for your benefit and use in connection with the matter described herein and is not to be relied upon by any other person, firm or entity or in respect of any other matter.

 

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 law of the Cayman Islands and, based on the Certificate of Good Standing, is in good standing as at the Certificate Date. Pursuant to the Companies Act (the “Act”), a company is deemed to be in good standing if all fees and penalties under the Act have been paid and the Registrar of Companies has no knowledge that the Company is in default under the Act.

 

4.2.Based solely on our review of the register of members of the Company certified by a director of the Company on 24 July 2026, as at 30 June 2026, each Selling Shareholder was the registered holder of the number of Closing Shares set against their respective name in the Schedule hereto, respectively, and such Closing 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).

 

4.3.The Warrant Shares to be issued and sold by the Company under the Transaction Documents have been duly authorised, and when issued and delivered by the Company to the purchasers thereof pursuant to the Transaction Documents against payment of the consideration set forth in the Transaction Documents and registered in the register of members of the Company, will have been 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 to the references to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit 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,

 

Conyers Dill & Pearman
