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

 

Based on the foregoing and subject to the disclosures contained in the Registration Statement, we are of the opinion that:

 

1. Ming Shing Group Holdings Limited is a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with two operating subsidiaries solely based in Hong Kong, and it does not have any subsidiary or Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) in the PRC. The ownership structure of the Company as set forth in the Prospectus does not, and immediately after giving effect to the Offering, will not, result in any violation of the PRC Laws.

 

2. The M&A Rules purport, among other things, to require offshore special purpose vehicles, or SPVs, formed for overseas listing purposes through acquisitions of PRC domestic enterprises and controlled by PRC enterprises or individuals, to obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange. Based on our understanding of the PRC Laws, the approval from the CSRC under the M&A Rules is not required in the context of the Offering, because (i) Ming Shing Group Holdings Limited is a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with two operating subsidiaries solely based in Hong Kong, and it does not have any subsidiary or Variable Interest Entity in the PRC or intend to acquire any equity interest in any domestic companies within the PRC, (ii) nor is it controlled by any companies or individuals of the PRC.

 

3. Pursuant to the Measures, if any of the following circumstance exists, the operators shall apply with the CAC for cybersecurity review: (i) the operators possess over one million individuals’ personal information and seek to list overseas; (ii) the operators are deemed as critical information infrastructure and intend to purchase internet products and services that will or may affect national security, and (iii) the operators carry out any data processing activities which has affected or may affect national security. As of the date hereof, we are not aware of the Company or their Hong Kong subsidiaries have any of the aforesaid circumstances and the Company or their Hong Kong subsidiaries are not required by the CAC to go through cybersecurity review before listing in the U.S., because (i) all of operations of the Company are conducted by their Hong Kong Operating Subsidiaries which currently solely serve the Hong Kong local market, the Company currently have no operations in the PRC; (ii) the Company does not have or intends to have any subsidiary, nor do it has or intends to establish a VIE structure with any entity in the PRC and the Measures remains unclear whether they shall be applied to a company such as the Company; (iii) as of date hereof, the Company has neither collected nor stored any personal information of any mainland China individual or within mainland China, nor does it entrust or expect to be entrusted by any individual or entity to conduct any data processing activities of any mainland China individual or within mainland China; and (iv) as of the date hereof, the Company has not been informed by any PRC governmental authority of any requirement that the Company must file for a cybersecurity review. Based on our understanding of the PRC laws that are currently in effect, neither the Company nor their Hong Kong Operating Subsidiaries, are currently subject to the cybersecurity review by the CAC as provided under the Measures. Additionally, neither the Company nor their subsidiaries are covered by permission requirements from the CAC or any other governmental agency that is required to approve their subsidiaries’ operations. However, there remains uncertainty as to how the Measures will be interpreted or implemented and whether the PRC regulatory agencies, including the CAC, may adopt new laws, regulations, rules, or detailed implementation and interpretation related to the Measures and there is no assurance that PRC regulatory agencies, including the CAC would take the same view as we do.

4. On February 17, 2023, with the approval of the State Council, the CSRC released the Trial Measures and five supporting guidelines. According to the Trial Measures, (1) domestic enterprise that conduct overseas offering and listing both directly and indirectly, should file with the CSRC and report relevant information; (2) if the issuer meets both of the following conditions, the overseas offering and listing shall be deemed as an indirect overseas offering and listing by a domestic enterprise: (i) any of the total assets, net assets, revenues or profits of the domestic operating entities of the issuer in the most recent accounting year accounts for more than 50% of the corresponding figure in the issuer’s audited consolidated financial statements for the same period; (ii) its major operational activities are carried out in China or its main places of business are located in China, or the senior managers in charge of operation and management of the issuer are mostly Chinese citizens or are domiciled in China; and (3) where a domestic company conducts indirectly offering and listing in an overseas market, the issuer shall designate a major domestic operating entity responsible for all filing procedures with the CSRC, and where an issuer makes an application for initial public offering and listing in an overseas market, the issuer shall submit filings with the CSRC within three business days after such application is submitted. Considering that (i) as of the date hereof, in connection with this Offering, the Company is a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with two operating subsidiaries solely based in Hong Kong, and it does not have any subsidiary or VIE in the PRC or intend to acquire any equity interest in any domestic companies within the PRC; (ii) nor is it controlled by any companies or individuals of the PRC; (iii) the Company is headquartered in Hong Kong with their chief executive officer, chief financial officer and all members of the board of directors based in Hong Kong who are not mainland China citizens; (iv) all revenues and profits of the Company are generated by their subsidiaries in Hong Kong; and (v) the Company does not have any operation or business in the PRC. The Company is not required to submit applications for the approval of the CSRC or other equivalent PRC government authorities. However, as the Trial Measures was newly published, and due to the lack of further clarifications or detailed rules and regulations, there are still uncertainties as to how the aforementioned rules will be interpreted or implemented and whether the PRC regulatory agencies may adopt new laws, regulations, rules, or detailed implementation and interpretation and there is no assurance that PRC regulatory agencies, including the CSRC, would take the same view as we do.
