Personal information refers to all kinds of identified or identifiable information related to natural persons that are electronically or otherwise recorded, excluding the information that has been anonymized.

 

The processing of personal information includes the collection, storage, use, processing, transmission, provision, disclosure and deletion, etc. of personal information.

4.We have examined the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, provided to us by the Company, the PRC Subsidiary and such other documents, corporate records, certificates, Governmental Authorizations and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion, including, without limitation, the certificates issued by the PRC Authorities and officers of the Company (collectively, the “Documents”). In reviewing the Documents and for the purpose of this opinion, we have assumed:

 

(1)the genuineness of all the signatures, seals and chops;

 

(2)the authenticity of the Documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the originals of the Documents provided to us as copies and the authenticity of such originals;

 

2 

 

 

 

 

(3)the truthfulness, accuracy, completeness and fairness of all factual statements contained in the Documents;

 

(4)that the Documents have not been revoked, amended, varied or supplemented except as otherwise indicated in such Documents;

 

(5)that all information (including factual statements) provided to us by the Company and the PRC Subsidiary in response to our enquiries for the purpose of this opinion is true, accurate, complete and not misleading, and that the Company and the PRC Subsidiary have not withheld anything that, if disclosed to us, would reasonably cause us to alter this opinion in whole or in part;

 

(6)that all parties have the requisite power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform the Documents to which they are parties;

 

(7)that all parties have duly executed, delivered and performed the Documents to which they are parties, and all parties will duly perform their obligations under the Documents to which they are parties;

 

(8)that all Governmental Authorizations and other official statement or documentation were obtained from competent PRC Authorities by lawful means;

 

(9)that all the Documents are legal, valid, binding and enforceable under all such laws as govern or relate to them, other than PRC Laws; and

 

(10)that this opinion is limited to matters of the PRC Laws effective as the date hereof. We have not investigated, and we do not express or imply any opinion on accounting, auditing, or laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

5.Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set out below, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, so far as PRC Laws are concerned:

 

(1)The M&A Rules requires an overseas special purpose vehicle formed for offering purposes through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies and controlled by PRC persons or entities to obtain the approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) prior to the offering and trading of such special purpose vehicle’s securities on an overseas stock exchange. Based on our understanding of the current PRC laws and regulations, the Company will not be required to submit an application to the CSRC for the approval of the offering and trading of the Shares because (i) the PRC Subsidiary was not established through a merger or requisition of the equity or assets of a “PRC domestic company” as such term is defined under the M&A Rules, (ii) although the PRC Subsidiary is a PRC entity, it has been controlled by a non-PRC person since its incorporation, and (iii) the CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether offerings like the Offering under the Prospectus is subject to this regulation. However, uncertainties still exist as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or implemented and our opinion stated above is subject to any new laws, rules and regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A Rules.

(2)On December 24, 2021, the CSRC published the Provisions of the State Council on the Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (Draft for Comments) (the “Administration Provisions”), and the Administrative Measures for the Filing of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (Draft for Comments) (the “Measures”), which are now open for public comment. As of the date of this Opinion, the Administration Provisions and the Measures are still in the process of soliciting opinions and have not been formally enacted, based on our understanding of the PRC Laws and after due and reasonable inquiry, we believe the Company and its PRC Subsidiary, as of the date of this Opinion (i) are not required to obtain permissions or approvals from any PRC authorities including CSRC to issue the Shares, including the Shares being registered for sale to foreign investors, (ii) except for the permissions with minimal impact on the operations of the Company’s PRC Subsidiary, the Company’s PRC Subsidiary has obtained all necessary permissions for a domestic company in China to engage in similar businesses, and is not required to obtain other permissions by any other PRC authorities for its operations, and has not received any requirement or were denied such permissions or approvals by any PRC authorities.

 

In view of the fact that the Administration Provisions and the Measures have been published for public comment and may be officially promulgated and become effective in the future, they may require the indirect overseas issuance and listing of a PRC domestic enterprise to complete the filing procedures of CSRC. As such, the Offering may be identified as an indirect overseas issuance and listing of the Company’s PRC Subsidiary by CSRC; the PRC Subsidiary may be required to complete the filing procedures of CSRC and obtain the approval of the relevant PRC authorities after the Administration Provisions and the Measures become effective.

 

(3)Given that (i) the Measures for Cybersecurity Review provides that network platform operators and operators of critical information infrastructure shall subject to cybersecurity review under certain circumstances; (ii) the Article 4 of Personal Information Protection Law clearly defines personal information; To the best of our knowledge after due inquiry and as confirmed by the Company, during 2020, 2021 and as of the date of this Opinion, (i) neither the Company nor its PRC Subsidiary operates any network platform or provides any network service for individual users, (ii) all the customers and suppliers of the PRC Subsidiary are enterprises, (iii) neither the Company nor its PRC Subsidiary possesses a large amount of personal information in their business operations, (iv) neither the Company nor its PRC Subsidiary is recognized as an “operator of critical information infrastructure” by any authentic authority; (v) neither the Company nor its PRC Subsidiary has been involved in any investigations initiated by the CAC, or received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanction in such respect.

In view of the above and based on our understanding of the current PRC Laws, neither the Company nor its PRC Subsidiary is required to obtain permission from the CAC, to conduct its operations and the Offering (including offering securities to foreign investors). However, since the Measures for Cybersecurity Review was recently adopted, and there remains significant uncertainty as to the enactment, interpretation and implementation of regulatory requirements related to current and future PRC Laws, overseas securities offerings and other capital markets activities, and there can be no assurance that the PRC Authorities will take a view that is not contrary to or otherwise different from our opinion stated above.

 

(4)To the best of our knowledge after due and reasonable inquiry, the statements in the Prospectus under the captions “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities,” “Our Business,” “Regulation,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Legal Matters” and elsewhere insofar, to the extent that such statements describe or summarize PRC legal or regulatory matters, or documents, agreements or proceedings governed by PRC Laws, are true, accurate and correct in all material respects, and fairly present or fairly summarize in all material respects the PRC legal and regulatory matters, documents, agreements or proceedings referred to therein; and such statements do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact, and do not omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

6.This Opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

 

(1)We are not qualified to issue legal opinion on the matters relating to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macau Special Administrative Region and Taiwan.

 

(2)This Opinion relates only to the PRC Laws and we express no opinion as to any other laws and regulations. There is no guarantee that any of the PRC Laws, or the interpretation thereof or enforcement therefor, will not be changed, amended or replaced in the immediate future or in the longer term with or without retrospective effect.

 

(3)This Opinion is intended to be used in the context which is specifically referred to herein and each section should be looked on as a whole regarding the same subject matter and no part shall be extracted for interpretation separately from this Opinion.

 

(4)This Opinion is subject to the effects of (i) certain legal or statutory principles affecting the enforceability of contractual rights generally under the concepts of public interest, national security, good faith and fair dealing, applicable statutes of limitation, and the limitations by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally; (ii) any circumstance in connection with formulation, execution or performance of any legal documents that would be deemed materially mistaken, clearly unconscionable or fraudulent; (iii) judicial discretion with respect to the availability of injunctive relief, the calculation of damages, and the entitlement of attorneys’ fees and other costs; and (iv) the discretion of any competent PRC legislative, administrative or judicial bodies in exercising their authority in connection with the interpretation, implementation and application of relevant PRC Laws.
