Dear Sirs,

 

Re: Green Circle Decarbonize Technology Limited (the “Company”)

 

We have acted as special legal counsel in the Cayman Islands to the Company in connection with a registration statement on form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”, which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto unless otherwise expressly referred to herein), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on 16 April 2024 relating to the registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and offering by the Company of up to 2,400,000 units (the “Units”) with each unit comprising of one ordinary share of par value US$0.001 each of the Company (the “Share(s)”) and one warrant (the “Warrant(s)”) which entitles to the holder thereof to purchase one Share upon exercise at the price of US$4.13 per Share.

 

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined a copy of the Registration Statement and a draft of the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) contained in the Registration Statement. We have also reviewed copies of (1) the memorandum and articles of association of the Company adopted upon incorporation on 15 February 2022, (2) written resolutions of the sole director of the Company dated 11 January 2024 and 7 February 2024 and written resolutions of the members of the Company dated 12 January 2024 (collectively, the “Resolutions”), (3) the latest drafts of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company proposed to become effective immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s initial public offering of the Shares (the “Listing M&As”), (4) a draft of the form of the non-tradeable warrant to purchase ordinary shares (the “Warrant Agreement”); (5) a Certificate of Good Standing issued by the Registrar of Companies in relation to the Company on 1 March 2024 (the “Certificate Date”), and (6) such other documents and made such enquiries as to questions of law as we have deemed necessary in order to render the opinion set forth below.

 

 

 

 

We have assumed (a) the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures and the conformity to the originals of all copies (whether or not certified) examined by us and the authenticity and completeness of the originals from which such copies were taken, (b) that where a document has been examined by us in draft form, it will be or has been executed and/or filed in the form of that draft, and where a number of drafts of a document have been examined by us all changes thereto have been marked or otherwise drawn to our attention, (c) the accuracy and completeness of all factual representations made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and other documents reviewed by us, (d) that the Resolutions have been passed at one or more duly convened, constituted and quorate meetings or by unanimous written resolutions, will remain in full force and effect and will not be rescinded or amended, (e) that the Listing M&As will become effective immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s initial public offering of the Shares, (f) that there is no provision of the law of any jurisdiction, other than the Cayman Islands, which would have any implication in relation to the opinions expressed herein, (g) that upon the issue of any Shares to be sold by the Company pursuant to the Units or the Warrants, the Company will receive consideration for the full issue price thereof which shall be equal to at least the par value thereof, (h) the validity and binding effect under the laws of the United States of America of the Registration Statement and that the Registration Statement will be duly filed with the Commission; (i) the due execution and delivery of the Warrant Agreement by each of the parties thereto and the validity and binding effect under the laws of the State of New York of the Warrants and the Warrant Agreement in accordance with their terms; and (l) no Share will be issued pursuant to the Warrants upon or following commencement of winding up of the Company.

 

We have made no investigation of and express no opinion in relation to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Cayman Islands. This opinion is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and is limited to and is given on the basis of the current law and practice in the Cayman Islands.

 

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

 

1.The Company is duly incorporated and validly existing as an exempted company with limited liability under the law of the Cayman Islands and, based on the Certificate of Good Standing, was in good standing as at the Certificate Date. Pursuant to the Companies Act (the “Act”), a company is deemed to be in good standing if all fees and penalties under the Act have been paid and the Registrar of Companies has no knowledge that the Company is in default under the Act.

 

2.When issued and paid for as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and Resolutions, the Shares to be offered and issued by the Company as contemplated by the Registration Statement will be duly authorised, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (which term means when used herein that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue of such shares).

 

3.The statements in the Registration Statement and Prospectus under the caption “Taxation — Cayman Islands Taxation” in the Prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement, to the extent that they constitute statements of Cayman Islands law, are accurate in all material respects and that such statements constitute our opinion.

 

4.Based solely upon a search of the electronic Register of Writs and other Originating Process of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands conducted at 11:00 a.m. on 4 March 2024 (which would not reveal details of (i) proceedings before 1995, (ii) proceedings which have been filed but not actually entered in the Register of Writs and other Originating Process of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands at the time of our search, (iii) counterclaims, (iv) proceedings filed on the Restricted Registers of Writs and other Originating Processes ,or (v) an application for the appointment of a restructuring officer on an interim basis under section 91C of the Act), there were no actions pending against the Company nor any petitions to wind up the Company pending in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands to which the Company is subject.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references to our firm under the captions “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities” and “Legal Matters” in the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

 

Yours faithfully,
