Re: Unsponsored American Depositary Receipts for Ordinary Shares of Weichai Power Co., Ltd.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We refer to the Registration Statement on Form F-6 (the “Registration Statement”) that is to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the legal entity created by the American Depositary Receipts (“ADR(s)”) evidencing American Depositary Shares (“ADS(s)”), each ADS representing the right to receive, subject to the terms of the ADR representing such ADS, four (4)ordinary shares (the “Shares”) of Weichai Power Co., Ltd., a company organized under the laws of China. The Registration Statement is being filed for the purpose of registering Five Million (5,000,000) ADSs under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Assuming that, at the time of their issuance, the Registration Statement will be effective, and the Shares will have been legally issued, we are of the opinion that the ADSs, when issued in accordance with the terms of the ADRs and the Registration Statement, will be legally issued and will entitle the registered holders of the ADSs to the rights specified in the applicable ADRs.
