3. | Opinion |
Based upon the foregoing and subject to 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 is incorporated under the Companies Act (as amended) of the Cayman Islands (the Companies Act), validly exists under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company and is in good standing with the Registrar. The Company is deemed to be in good standing on the date of issue of the Certificate of Good Standing if it: |
(a) | has paid all fees and penalties under the Companies Act; and |
(b) | is not, to the Registrar’s knowledge, in default under the Companies Act. |
3.2 | With effect from consummation of the Merger (as that term is defined in the Business Combination Agreement), the authorised share capital of the Company shall be US$55,000 divided into 555,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each. |
3.3 | The issue and allotment of the Shares has been duly authorised and when allotted and issued as contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Business Combination Agreement, the Shares will be legally issued and allotted, fully paid and non-assessable. As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a share is only issued when it has been entered in the register of members (shareholders). |
3.4 | The statements under the caption “Cayman Islands Tax Considerations” in the Prospectus, to the extent that they constitute statements of Cayman Islands law, are accurate in all material respects and that such statements constitute our opinion. |
4. | Qualifications |
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 or otherwise with respect to the commercial terms of the transactions the subject of this opinion.
In this opinion the phrase non-assessable means, with respect to Shares in the Company, that a member shall not, solely by virtue of its status as a member, be liable for additional assessments or calls on the Shares by the Company or its creditors (except in exceptional circumstances and subject to the Company’s memorandum and articles of association, 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).
5. | Consent |
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our name under the headings “Legal Matters” and “Proposal 1 - The Business Combination Proposal—Background of the Business Combination” in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
Yours faithfully
Mourant Ozannes (Cayman) LLP
