Agreement, (vi) the applicable warrant agreements for the Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants and PIPE Warrants; and (vii) such other corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers of the Company as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereafter set forth. We have also made inquiries of such officers as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereafter set forth.
In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, confirmed as photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to all questions of fact material to the opinion set forth below that have not been independently established, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Company.
On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that (i) the Ordinary Shares, the Francisco Shares, the FPA Shares, the Escrow Shares and PIPE Shares that have been previously issued by the Company have been duly authorized, and are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; (ii) the Private Placement Warrants and PIPE Warrants, assuming they were executed and delivered in accordance with the provisions of the applicable warrant agreements governing such warrants, have been duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and (iii) the Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants and PIPE Warrants have been duly authorized, and when issued and delivered against payment therefore pursuant to the applicable warrants and related warrant agreements, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
