Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as United States counsel to A SPAC I Acquisition Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (“ASCA”), in connection with the proposed Business Combination (as defined below) contemplated by an merger agreement, dated as of February 15, 2023 (as amended as of June 12, 2023 and December 6, 2023, and as may be further amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among NewGenIvf Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), certain shareholders of the Company as set forth on Exhibit A of the Merger Agreement (each, a “Principal Shareholder” and collectively the “Principal Shareholders”), ASCA, A SPAC I Mini Acquisition Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (“PubCo”), and A SPAC I Mini Sub Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) ASCA will reincorporate to the British Virgin Islands by merging with and into PubCo, with PubCo remaining as the surviving publicly traded entity (the “Reincorporation Merger”); and (ii) Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company resulting in the Company being a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Acquisition Merger”) (collectively, the “Business Combination”).

 

The Business Combination and certain other related transactions are described in the Registration Statement of ASCA on Form F-4 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), filed on October 27, 2023 (Registration Number 333-275208) as amended through the date hereof (the “Registration Statement”).
