We have acted as counsel to SGHC Limited, a non-cellular company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Island of Guernsey (”SGHC”), in connection with (i) the Business Combination Agreement (together with all exhibits and attachments thereto, the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated April 23, 2021, as amended on November 16, 2021, by and among Sports Entertainment Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“SEAC”), SGHC, Super Group (SGHC) Limited, a non-cellular company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Island of Guernsey (“NewCo”), Super Group (SGHC) Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of NewCo (“Merger Sub”), and Sports Entertainment Acquisition Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”) and (ii) the Share for Share Exchange Agreement, by and among SGHC, NewCo and each of the shareholders set forth on the schedules thereto, dated April 23, 2021 (the “Exchange Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Exchange Agreement and certain other agreements referenced therein, (i) existing holders of the Company will exchange their shares in SGHC for shares of NewCo (the “Pre-Closing Reorganization”) and (ii) Merger Sub will merge with and into SEAC (the “Merger”, and together with the Pre-Closing Reorganization, the “Business Combination”), with SEAC surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of NewCo. All section references, unless otherwise indicated, are to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This opinion is being delivered in connection with the Registration Statement on Form F-4 of NewCo, and the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein, filed in connection with the Business Combination (the “Registration Statement”). Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Registration Statement.

In preparing this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the Business Combination Agreement, the Registration Statement, certain customary tax representation letters provided by NewCo, SGHC and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and SEAC, on the other hand (the “Tax Representation Letters”), and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate in order to enable us to render this opinion. In our examination of documents, we have assumed the authenticity of original documents, the accuracy of copies, the genuineness of signatures, and the legal capacity of signatories.

In rendering this opinion, we have assumed without investigation or verification that the facts and factual statements set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, the Exchange Agreement and the Registration Statement, or otherwise made to us, are true, correct and complete in all material respects; that the Business Combination will be completed in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and the Exchange Agreement; that the statements, representations, and agreements contained in the Tax Representation Letters are true, accurate and complete; that there is no change in applicable law between the date hereof and the effective time of the Business Combination; that any representation in any of the documents referred to herein that is made based on the knowledge, belief or intention (or similar qualification) of any person or party is true, correct and complete without such qualification; and that, as to all matters for which a person or entity has represented that such person or entity is not a party to, does not have, or is not aware of, any plan, intention, understanding or agreement, there is no such plan, intention, understanding or agreement. Any inaccuracy or change in, or breach of, any of the aforementioned statements, representations or assumptions could adversely affect our opinion.
