Ladies and Gentlemen
We have acted as special Swiss counsel to Allwyn Entertainment AG, a stock corporation incorporated under the laws of Switzerland (the “Company”) in connection with the filing of a registration statement on Form F-4, including the prospectus set forth therein (the “Registration Statement”), initially filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 20, 2022 for the purpose of registering under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) newly issued Class B ordinary registered shares in the Company, each with a par value of CHF 0.04 (the “Class B Shares”), as well as newly issued public warrants of the Company (the “Company Public Warrants”).
Upon their registration with the competent commercial register in the Canton of Lucerne, Switzerland (the “Commercial Register”), the Class B Shares to be registered pursuant to the Registration Statement (the “Registered Shares”) will be issued to the holders of Cohn Robbins Holdings Corp. (“Cohn Robbins”) Class A common stock (the “Cohn Robbi54
Shareholders”), according to a certain exchange ratio as described in the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below), in connection with the merger (the “Merger”) of Cohn Robbins with and into Allwyn Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company(“DE Merger Sub”) in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the business combination agreement by and among Cohn Robbins, Allwyn AG (formerly SAZKA Entertainment AG), a stock corporation incorporated under the laws of Switzerland (“Allwyn”), the Company, Allwyn US HoldCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“US HoldCo”), and the DE Merger Sub, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of US HoldCo, dated as of January 20, 2022 (the “Business Combination Agreement”). In connection with such Merger, US HoldCo will issue membership interests in US HoldCo (the “US HoldCo Membership Interests”) to an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”), which will be acting in its own name but on behalf and for the account of Cohn Robbins and will contribute the US HoldCo Membership Interests to the Company in exchange for, inter alia, the Class B Shares that non-redeeming Cohn Robbins Shareholders are entitled to receive as consideration pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. Following its receipt of the US HoldCo Membership Interests, the Exchange Agent will distribute the Class B Shares that non-redeeming Cohn Robbins Shareholders are entitled to receive as consideration pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement to such non-redeeming Cohn Robbins Shareholders.
