Dear Sirs

BGS Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”)

You have requested our opinion regarding certain British Virgin Islands tax matters relating to the registration and offering of certain securities by BGS Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as described more fully in the Form F-1 Registration Statement filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“Commission”) on February 1, 2012 (File No. 333-178780) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”).  In formulating our opinion as to these matters, we have examined such documents as we have deemed appropriate, including the Registration Statement. We also have obtained such additional information as we have deemed relevant and necessary from representatives of the Company.  Capitalised terms not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Registration Statement.

We have relied on the facts as set forth in the Registration Statement and, in particular, on the representations, covenants, assumptions, conditions and qualifications described under the captions “Risk Factors” therein, and we have made such other inquiries as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion set forth herein.  While we have not undertaken any independent investigation of any factual matter set forth in any of the foregoing, with your permission we have assumed that the information set forth in the Registration Statement (other than the section entitled “Taxation – British Virgin Islands Taxation”) is true, complete and correct.  Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein and the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth in the Registration Statement, we hereby confirm that the opinion of Ogier with respect to British Virgin Islands tax matters are those opinions attributed to Ogier expressed in the Registration Statement under the captions “Taxation – British Virgin Islands Taxation.”
