Re:Registration Statement of Ucommune International Ltd

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as United States counsel to Orisun Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Orisun”), in connection with the proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) contemplated by a merger agreement, dated as of June 29, 2020 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), which provides for a Business Combination between Orisun and Ucommune Group Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Ucommune”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination will be effected in two steps: (i) subject to the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of Orisun, Orisun will reincorporate to Cayman Islands by merging with and into Ucommune International Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of Orisun (“PubCo”), with PubCo remaining as the surviving publicly traded entity (the “Reincorporation Merger”); (ii) concurrently with the Reincorporation Merger, Everstone International Ltd (“MergerSub”), a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo, will be merged with and into Ucommune, resulting in Ucommune being a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo.

As a result of the Reincorporation Merger, (i) each share of Orisun’s common stock (“ORSN Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger (other than any redeemed shares), will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist and for each share of such ORSN Common Stock, PubCo shall issue to each Orisun stockholder (other than Orisun stockholders who exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination) one validly issued PubCo Class A Ordinary Share (each, a “PubCo Ordinary Share”); (ii) each warrant to purchase one half of one share of ORSN Common Stock (“ORSN Warrant”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger will convert into a warrant to purchase one-half of one PubCo Ordinary Share (each, a “PubCo Warrant”) (or equivalent portion thereof); and (iii) the holders of Orisun’s rights (exchangeable into one-tenth (1/10) of one share of ORSN Common Stock) (collectively, the “ORSN Rights”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger will receive one-tenth (1/10) of one PubCo Ordinary Share in exchange for the cancellation of each ORSN Right.

We undertake no responsibility to update this opinion or to advise you of any developments or changes as a result of a change in legal authority, fact, representation, assumption or document, or any inaccuracy in any fact, representation or assumption, upon which this opinion is based, or otherwise.
