Legal Opinion
Based upon the documents reviewed and considered, and based upon the foregoing assumptions and upon such searches as we have conducted and having regard to legal considerations which this firm deems relevant, and subject to the qualifications set out below, we are of the opinion that under the laws of the BVI:
i. | The Company is a business company duly incorporated with limited liability, and is validly existing under the laws of the BVI. The Company is in good standing with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs of the BVI as at the date of the Certificate of Good Standing. |
ii. | Based solely on our review of the Memorandum and Articles, the Company is authorised to issue a maximum of 500,000,000 shares divided into class A ordinary shares with a par value of US$0.0001 each and class B ordinary shares with a par value of US$0.0001 each. |
iii. | The IPO Shares when issued and allotted in accordance with the Registration Statement and the Resolutions against payment in full of the consideration therefor in accordance with the terms set out in the Registration Statement and the Company’s then effective memorandum and articles of association, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Once the register of members of the Company has been updated to reflect such issuance and allotment, the shareholders as recorded in the register of members will be deemed to have legal title to the IPO Shares set against their respective name. The reference in this opinion to shares being non-assessable shall mean solely that no further sums of money are required to be paid by the holders of such shares in connection with the issuance thereof. |
iv. | The Company has taken all requisite corporate action to authorise the issuance of the IPO Shares under the Registration Statement. |
v. | The BVI currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to the Company levied by the authority of the BVI except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or after execution brought within the jurisdiction of the BVI. The subscription for, holding and disposal of the shares of the Company will not be levied with taxation in the BVI and no withholding tax will be required on the payment relating to the subscription for the shares from/to any holder of the shares of the Company, nor will gains derived from the disposal of the shares of the Company be subject to BVI income or corporation tax, under the Offering. Pursuant to section 242(1) of the Act, notwithstanding any provision of the Income Tax Act (As Revised) of the BVI, (a) the Company, (b) all dividends, interest, rents, royalties, compensations and other amounts paid by the Company, and (c) capital gains realised with respect to any shares, debt obligations or other securities of the Company, are exempt from all provisions of the Income Tax Act (As Revised) of the British Virgin Islands. Pursuant to section 242(2) of the Act, no estate, inheritance, succession or gift tax is payable with respect to any shares, debt obligations or other securities of the Company. |
Qualifications
The opinions hereinbefore given are subject to the following qualifications:
| (a) | as to any laws other than the laws of the BVI in force and as interpreted at the date hereof; and |
| (b) | except to the extent this opinion expressly provides otherwise, as to the commercial terms of, or the validity, enforceability or effect of the Registration Statement, the accuracy of representations, the fulfilment of warranties or conditions, the occurrence of events of default or terminating events ore the existence of any conflicts or inconsistencies among the Registration Statement and any other agreements into which the Company may have entered into or any other documents. |

ii. | Under the Act, an annual fee must be paid in respect of the Company to the Registry of Corporate Affairs in the BVI. Failure to pay the annual fees by the relevant due date will render such Company liable to a penalty fee in addition to the amount of the outstanding fees. If the license fee and/or any penalty fee remains unpaid from the due date, the Company will be liable to be struck off and dissolved from the Register of Companies in the BVI. |
iii. | Under the Act, a copy of the Company’s register of directors which is complete must be filed by the Company at the Registry of Corporate Affairs. Failure to make this filing will render such Company liable to a penalty fee and if the filing is not made within the requisite time period or any penalty fee remains unpaid from the due date, such Company will be liable to be struck off and dissolved from the Register of Companies in the BVI. |
iv. | Under the Act, an Annual Return, in the prescribed form, must be filed by the Company with its registered agent in respect of each year for which one is due within the timeframe prescribed by the Act for that year (unless such Company is within one of the statutory exceptions to the obligation to file). Failure to make this filing when due will render such Company liable to a penalty fee and where such Company is liable to the maximum penalty and has not filed its Annual Return, the Company will be liable to be struck off and dissolved from the Register of Companies in the BVI. |
v. | For the purposes of this opinion, “in good standing” means only that as of the date of the Certificate of Good Standing the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the BVI has confirmed that she is satisfied that the Company (i) is on the Register of Companies; (ii) has paid all fees, annual fees and penalties due and payable; (iii) has filed with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the BVI a copy of its registers of directors which is complete; and (iv) has filed its Annual Return in accordance with the requirements pursuant to the Act by issuing a Certificate of Good Standing in respect of such Company under Section 235 of the Act, which we assume remains correct and accurate as at the date of this opinion. We have made no enquiries into the Company’s good standing with respect to any filings or payment of fees, or both, that it may be required to make under the laws of the BVI other than the Act. We have made no enquiries into whether the annual return filed by the Company with its registered agent is in the prescribed form as required pursuant to the Act. |
vi. | We have not undertaken any enquiry and express no view as to the compliance of the Company with the Substance Act. |
vii. | The Public Records and our searches thereof may not reveal the following: |
| (a) | details of matters which have not been lodged for registration or have been lodged for registration but not actually registered at the time of our search or notifications made to the Registrar of Corporate Affairs by the Company’s registered agent of any failure by any Company to file its Annual Return as required and within the time frame prescribed by the Act; |
| (b) | details of proceedings which have been filed but not actually entered in the Court Registers at the time of our search; |
| (c) | whether an application for the appointment of a liquidator or a receiver has been presented to the High Court of the BVI or whether a liquidator or a receiver has been appointed out of court, or whether any out of court dissolution, reconstruction or reorganisation of the Company has been commenced; or |
| (d) | any originating process (including an application to appoint a liquidator) in respect of the Company in circumstances where the High Court of the BVI has prior to the issuance of such process ordered that such process upon issuance be anonymised (whether on a temporary basis or otherwise). |

viii. | While it is a requirement under Section 118 of the Insolvency Act (As Revised) of the BVI that notice of the appointment of a receiver be registered with the Registry of Corporate Affairs in the BVI, however, it should be noted that failure to file a notice of appointment of a receiver does not invalidate the receivership but gives rise to penalties on the part of the receiver. |
ix. | This opinion is limited to the matters referred to herein and shall not be construed as extending to any other matter or document not referred to herein. This opinion is given to the persons to whom it is addressed for their sole benefit and the benefit of their legal advisers acting in that capacity in relation to the Offering. Except with our written consent, it is not to be disclosed to or relied upon by any other person provided that a copy of this opinion may be disclosed to the extent required or requested pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, or by any government or competent regulatory authority. |
x. | This opinion only relates to the laws of the BVI as we presently understand them and is given on the basis that this opinion will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the BVI and that the BVI courts will have exclusive jurisdiction in relation to any matter arising out of it. We have made no investigation of any laws other than the laws of the BVI and do not express or imply any opinion on any such laws. |
This opinion is given as at the date shown at the top of this letter. We have no continuing obligation under the terms of this opinion to inform you of changes of law or fact occurring after the date of this letter or of facts of which we become aware after such date.
