Re: Registration Statement on Form S-4 of Feutune Light Acquisition Corporation

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have been engaged as U.S. securities counsel by Feutune Light Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-275933), as amended and supplemented through the date hereof (the “Registration Statement”), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including the proxy statement/prospectus forming a part thereof, relating to 60,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to be issued by the Company (the “Merger Consideration Shares”) pursuant to the terms of the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of October 26, 2023 (as amended, supplemented, or modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Thunder Power Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Thunder Power”), and Feutune Light Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used herein has the meaning ascribed to it in the Registration Statement.

 

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of: (i) the Registration Statement; (ii) the Merger Agreement; (iii) the board resolutions of the Company as of October 26, 2023 in connection with the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination; (iv) the form of the Proposed Charter of the Company to become effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Registration Statement (the “Proposed Charter”); (v) the form of the Proposed Bylaws of the Company to be become effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, filed as Exhibit 3.2 to the Registration Statement (the “Proposed Bylaws”); and (vi) the specimen Common Stock certificate of the Company. We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Company and such agreements, certificates and receipts of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company and others, and such other documents, certificates and records as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth below.
