We express no opinion with respect to any laws, rules or regulations other than Luxembourg Law (specifically we have made no independent investigation of the laws of the State of New York or Cayman Islands law). We express no opinion (a) on public international law or on the rules promulgated under any treaty or by any treaty organisation or on any accounting, regulatory, criminal, data protection or tax laws, rules or regulations of any jurisdiction (including Luxembourg); or (b) with respect to the effect of any laws, rules or regulations other than Luxembourg Law even in cases where, under Luxembourg Law, a foreign law, rule or regulation should be applied, and we therefore assume that no provisions of any foreign laws, rules or regulations affect, qualify or have any bearing on this Opinion.

OPINIONS

 

5.This Opinion is given on the basis that it is governed by and construed in accordance with Luxembourg Law and is subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Luxembourg only. On the basis of the assumptions set out above and subject to the qualifications set out below and to any factual matters, documents or events not disclosed to us, we are of the opinion that:

 

5.1.the Company is a public limited liability company (société anonyme) incorporated before a Luxembourg notary for an unlimited duration and existing under Luxembourg law;

 

 

5/15

 

 

5.2.according to, and based solely on, the Non-Registration Certificate, on 23 November 2021, none of the following judicial decisions had been recorded with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies’ Register with respect to the Company: (a) judgments or decisions pertaining to the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings (faillite); (b) judgments or court orders approving a voluntary arrangement with creditors (concordat préventif de la faillite); (c) court orders pertaining to a suspension of payments (sursis de paiement); (d)  judicial decisions regarding controlled management (gestion contrôlée); (e) judicial decisions  pronouncing its dissolution or deciding on its liquidation; (f) judicial decisions regarding the appointment of an interim administrator (administrateur provisoire); or (g) judicial decisions taken by foreign judicial authorities concerning bankruptcy, voluntary arrangements or any analogous proceedings in accordance with the Insolvency Regulation. We have not made any enquiries or searches (whether within this firm or otherwise) except as set forth above;

 

5.3.the Ordinary Shares authorized for issuance upon effectiveness of the Merger and the Exchange (as applicable) in accordance with the Resolutions, the Delegate Decisions and the Business Combination Agreement, have been validly issued and fully paid (libérées), and are non-assessable (which means that no further sums are required to be paid to the Company by the holders thereof in connection with the issue of the Ordinary Shares); and

 

5.4.The Ordinary Shares to be subscribed and issued in accordance with the SPAC Warrant Agreement, the SPAC Warrant Amendment Agreement and the Registration Statement following exercise of the Warrants (if and when exercised in accordance with their terms under the SPAC Warrant Amendment Agreement), will be validly issued and fully paid (libérées), and the holder of such Ordinary Shares will not be liable, solely because of his or her or its shareholder status, for additional payments to the Company or the Company’s creditors.

 

QUALIFICATIONS

 

6.The opinions expressed in this Opinion are subject to the following qualifications:

 

6.1.Luxembourg legal concepts are expressed in English terms and not in their original French terms. The concepts in question may not be identical to the concepts described by the same English terms as they exist in the laws, rules and regulations of other jurisdictions. This Opinion may only be relied upon on the express condition that any issues of interpretation or liability arising hereunder be governed by Luxembourg Law only and be brought exclusively before a court in Luxembourg;

 

6.2.a Non-Registration Certificate does not determine conclusively whether or not the judicial decisions referred to in it have occurred. In particular, it is not possible to determine whether any petition has been filed with a court or any similar action has been taken against or on behalf of the Company with respect to the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings (faillite), suspension of payments (sursis de paiement), controlled management (gestion contrôlée) or voluntary arrangements that a Company may have entered into with its creditors (concordat préventif de la faillite), judicial decisions regarding the appointment of an interim administrator (administrateur provisoire), or judicial decisions taken by foreign judicial authorities concerning insolvency, voluntary arrangements or any similar proceedings in accordance with the Insolvency Regulation. Each Non-Registration Certificate only mentions such proceedings if a judicial decision was rendered and if such judicial decision was recorded with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register before the date referred to in the Non-Registration Certificate;

 

 

6/15

 

 

6.3.judicial decisions made in any jurisdiction in which the Insolvency Regulation is not applicable are not subject to mandatory registration with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register;

 

6.4.deeds (actes) or extracts of deeds (extraits d’actes) and other indications relating to the Company and which, under Luxembourg Law, must be published on the RESA (and which mainly concern acts relating to the incorporation, the functioning, the appointment of managers or directors and the liquidation of the Company as well as amendments, if any, to the articles of association of the Company) will only be enforceable against third parties after they have been published on the RESA except where the Company proves that such third parties had previous knowledge of the deeds or extracts of deeds. Third parties may rely on deeds or extracts of deeds prior to their publication. For the fifteen days following the publication, the deeds or extracts of deeds will not be enforceable against third parties who prove that it was impossible for them to have had knowledge of the deeds or extracts of deeds within that time;

 

6.5.there may be a lapse between the filing of a document and its actual publication on the RESA. Filings made with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register prior to the year 2000 are not available on its website. The results of our search on the website of the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register is therefore limited to documents filed from the year 2000 onwards;

 

6.6.the non-compliance by the Company with criminal laws, the provisions of the Commercial Code or the laws governing commercial companies including the requirement to file its annual accounts with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register may trigger the application of Article 1200-1 of the Companies Law according to which the District Court (Tribunal d’Arrondissement) dealing with commercial matters may, at the request of the Public Prosecutor (Procureur d’Etat), decide on the dissolution and order the liquidation of the non-complying Company;

 

6.7.in the case of court proceedings in a Luxembourg court or the presentation of the Business Combination Documents – either directly or by way of reference – to an autorité constituée, such court or autorité constituée may require a translation to French, German or Luxembourgish of such document;

 

6.8.the opinions set out in this Opinion are subject to all limitations by reason of national or foreign administration, bankruptcy, concordat préventif de la faillite, controlled management, fraudulent conveyance, general settlement with creditors, gestion contrôlée, faillite, insolvency, liquidation, moratorium, receivership, reorganisation, sursis de paiement, suspension of payment, voluntary arrangement with creditors, winding-up or similar orders or proceedings affecting the rights of creditors generally;

 

 

7/15

 

 

6.9.the Notarial Deed shall be filed by the instrumenting notary with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register and shall be published in the RESA within one month from the date of enactment of the Notarial Deed;

 

6.10.if an individual or legal entity is considered de facto manager (“gérant de fait”) of a company in case the alleged de facto manager exercises effective and continuing control over the Company, takes positive acts purporting to bind such company (as opposed to mere veto or approval rights, advice, suggestions or recommendations), such individual or legal entity may be held liable as a legally appointed manager of the company;

 

6.11.Luxembourg courts may decide that any legal or de facto manager (“gérant de fait”) of the Company (regardless of whether it is a natural or legal person), that has become liable of gross negligence having contributed to the bankruptcy of such company and in case the assets of such company do not allow full payment of all their creditors, may be held liable, individually or together, jointly and severally or not, for part or all the outstanding debts of such company (“action en comblement de passif”);

 

6.12.Luxembourg courts may extend insolvency proceedings (“action en extension de faillite”) against any legal or de facto manager (“gérant de fait”) of the Company (regardless of whether it is a natural or legal person), that has:

 

(i)conducted the Company’s business for its own personal benefit and masking its actions ; or

 

(ii)used the assets of the Company as if it were its assets, or

 

(iii)pursued in an abusive manner and in its own personal interest a loss-making activity that was inevitably leading to the cessation of payments of the Company; and

 

6.13.Luxembourg courts may consolidate the assets of two companies in case such companies are actually managed like a single entity (“confusion de patrimoines”) and consider that these two companies represent a single legal entity for the purpose of the insolvency proceedings. The confusion de patrimoines evidences an extreme case of mismanagement and a negation of the concept of corporate body. Based on Luxembourg case law, such companies would not be considered forming a single entity to the extent they maintain independent activities as well as a separate accounting and assets/liabilities. The absence of any abnormal flows of funds between such companies would also be taken into account by Luxembourg courts in determining whether they have been managed as a single entity.
