We are acting as special Delaware counsel to FingerMotion, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Form S-3/A (Amendment No. 1) Registration Statement of the Company to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or about May 17, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”) in respect of the warrants to purchase shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (the “Warrants”) pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) to be entered into by the Company and VStock Transfer, LLC (the “Warrant Agent”), and to be issued by the Company pursuant to a dividend (the “Dividend”) of one Warrant for each ten (10) shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the record date for such Dividend, with every one (1) Warrant initially exercisable for one share of Common Stock pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement.
