The Shares will be issued pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-226845) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 21, 2018 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the prospectus dated August 21, 2018 included in such registration statement, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated November 28, 2018 (collectively, the “Prospectus”).
As counsel to the Registrant in connection with the registering of the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, we have examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of law, as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purpose of our opinion.

As to all questions of fact material to the opinion set forth herein and as to the materiality of any fact or other matter referred to herein, we have relied (without independent investigation) upon representations and certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Company.
