3.Opinion

 

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set out below and having regard to such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

 

3.1The Company is incorporated under the Companies Act (as amended) of the Cayman Islands (the Companies Act), validly exists under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company and is in good standing with the Registrar. The Company is deemed to be in good standing on the date of issue of the Certificate of Good Standing if it:

 

(a)has paid all fees and penalties under the Companies Act; and

 

(b)is not, to the Registrar's knowledge, in default under the Companies Act.

 

3.2The Certificate of Good Standing is evidence that the Company is in good standing on the date thereof. Under Cayman Islands law, good standing means that the Company has paid all fees and penalties under the Companies Act and is not, to the Registrar's knowledge, in default under the Companies Act.

 

3.3Based solely on our review of the M&A, the authorised share capital of the Company is US$50,000.00 divided into 22,000,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares of par value US$0.000002 each and 3,000,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of par value US$0.000002 each.

 

3.4The Shares have been duly authorised and when allotted, issued and paid for in accordance with the Plan and the Resolutions and when appropriate entries have been made in the register of members of the Company in respect thereof will be legally issued and allotted, fully paid and non-assessable. As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a share is only issued when it has been entered in the register of members (shareholders).

 

4.Qualifications

 

Except as specifically stated herein, we make no comment with respect to any representations and warranties which may be made by or with respect to the Company in any of the documents or instruments cited in this opinion or otherwise with respect to the commercial terms of the transactions the subject of this opinion.

 

In this opinion the phrase non-assessable means, with respect to Shares in the Company, that a member shall not, solely by virtue of its status as a member, be liable for additional assessments or calls on the Shares by the Company or its creditors (except in exceptional circumstances and subject to the M&A, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

 

5.Consent

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our name in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

 

Yours faithfully
