Dear Sir or Madam

 

Raytech Holding Limited (the Company)

 

We are lawyers qualified to practise in the British Virgin Islands and have acted as British Virgin Islands advisers to the Company in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form F-3 (the Registration Statement), including all amendments or supplements thereto, and accompanying prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), relating to the offering from time to time up to a total amount of US$500,000,000, consisting of ordinary shares of par value US$0.00000625 per share of the Company (the Shares), warrants, rights and units of the Company, or any combination thereof (collectively, the Registrable Securities).

 

We are furnishing this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. The Company has informed us that the Registrable Securities will be sold or delivered on a delayed or continuous basis from time to time as set forth in the Registration Statement (and any amendments and/or supplement thereto), the prospectus contained therein and any prospectus supplement. We understand that prior to the sale of any Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement, the Company will afford us an opportunity to review the applicable authorisation (the Board Authorisations) by the board of directors of the Company (the Board) and, if necessary, amendments to the M&A (as defined in Schedule 1) and operative documents and agreements (the Registrable Securities Agreements) pursuant to which such Registrable Securities are to be sold and will file any applicable amendment and/or supplement to the Registration Statement (which may include as an exhibit thereto an amended opinion) or prospectus supplement as we may reasonably consider necessary or appropriate by reason of the terms of the sale of such Registrable Securities.

 

The British Virgin Islands is Harneys Hong Kong office’s main jurisdiction of practice.

Jersey legal services are provided through a referral arrangement with Harneys (Jersey) which is an independently owned and controlled Jersey law firm.

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined the Documents (as defined in Schedule 1) which we regard as necessary in order to issue this opinion. We have not examined any other documents, official or corporate records or external or internal registers and have not undertaken or been instructed to undertake any further enquiry or due diligence in relation to the transaction which is the subject of this opinion.

 

In giving this opinion we have relied upon the assumptions set out in Schedule 2 which we have not verified.

 

Based solely upon the foregoing examinations and assumptions and having regard to legal considerations which we deem relevant, and subject to the qualifications set out in Schedule 3, we are of the opinion that under the laws of the British Virgin Islands:

 

1Existence and Good Standing. The Company is a BVI business company duly incorporated with limited liability, and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The Company is a separate legal entity and is subject to suit in its own name.

 

2Maximum Number of Authorized Shares. Based on our review of the M&A (as defined in Schedule 1), the Company is authorized to issue up to a maximum of 8,000,000,000 ordinary shares of a single class each with a par value of US$0.00000625.

 

3Valid Issuance of Shares. When (i) the allotment and issuance of the Shares as contemplated by the Registration Statement and the final terms of such allotment and issuance have been duly approved and authorised by the appropriate Board Authorisations; (ii) the Shares are allotted, issued and fully paid for in accordance with the Registration Statement; and (iii) the names of the shareholders are entered in the register of members of the Company, the Shares will be validly allotted, issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

4Valid Issuance of Registrable Securities. When (i) the creation and issuance of the applicable Registrable Securities and the final terms of such Registrable Securities have been duly approved and authorised by the appropriate Board Authorisations; (ii) the applicable Registrable Securities Agreement relating to such Registrable Securities have been duly authorised and validly executed and delivered by the Company and the relevant parties thereunder in accordance with all relevant laws; and (iii) the certificates representing such Registrable Securities (if applicable) have been duly executed, countersigned, registered and delivered in accordance with the applicable Registrable Securities Agreement relating to such Registrable Securities and the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the Board, upon payment of the consideration by the purchasers thereof as contemplated by the Registration Statement (including any amendments and/or supplement thereto) and any prospectus supplements relating thereto, such Registrable Securities will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

 

5British Virgin Islands Law. The statements under the headings “Taxation”, “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities” and “Description of Shares” in the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement, to the extent that they constitute statements of British Virgin Islands law, are accurate in all material respects as at the date of this opinion and such statements constitute our opinion.

 

This opinion is confined to the matters expressly opined on herein and given on the basis of the laws of the British Virgin Islands as they are in force and applied by the British Virgin Islands courts at the date of this opinion. We have made no investigation of, and express no opinion on, the laws of any other jurisdiction. Except as specifically stated herein, we express no opinion as to matters of fact. Except as specifically stated herein, we make no comment with respect to any representations and warranties which may be made by or with respect to the Company in the Registration Statement. We express no opinion with respect to the commercial terms of the transactions the subject of this opinion.

 

In connection with the above opinion, we hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference made to this firm in the Registration Statement under the headings “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities” and “Legal Matters” and elsewhere in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder.

 

This opinion is limited to the matters referred to herein and shall not be construed as extending to any other matter or document not referred to herein.

 

This opinion shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the British Virgin Islands.

 

Yours faithfully

Schedule 2 

 

Assumptions

 

1Directors. The board of directors of the Company considers the transactions contemplated by the Registration Statement to be in the best interests of the Company and no director has a financial interest in or other relationship to a party or the transactions contemplated by the Registration Statement which has not been properly disclosed in the Resolutions.

 

2Authenticity of Documents. All original Documents are authentic, all signatures, initials and seals are genuine, all copies of Documents are true and correct copies.

 

3Corporate Documents. All matters required by law to be recorded in the Corporate Documents are so recorded, all corporate minutes, resolutions, certificates, documents and records which we have reviewed are accurate and complete, and all facts expressed in or implied thereby are accurate and complete.

 

4Director’s Certificate. The contents of the Director’s Certificate are true and accurate as at the date of this opinion and there is no information not contained in the Director’s Certificate that will in any way affect this opinion.

Schedule 3

 

Qualifications

 

1Enforceability. The term enforceable as used above means that the obligations assumed by the Company under the relevant instrument are of a type which the courts of the British Virgin Islands enforce. It does not mean that those obligations will necessarily be enforced in all circumstances in accordance with their terms. In particular:

 

(a)Insolvency. Rights and obligations may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, winding-up, reorganisation, moratorium, readjustment of debts, arrangements and other similar laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors.

 

(b)Limitation Periods. Claims under the Registrable Securities Agreements may become barred under the Limitation Act 1961 relating to the limitation of actions in the British Virgin Islands or may be or become subject to defences of set-off, estoppel or counterclaim.

 

(c)Equitable Rights and Remedies. Equitable rights may be defeated by a bona fide purchaser for value without notice. Equitable remedies such as injunctions and orders for specific performance are discretionary and will not normally be available where damages are considered an adequate remedy.

 

(d)Fair Dealing. Strict legal rights may be qualified by doctrines of good faith and fair dealing - for example a certificate or calculation as to any matter might be held by a British Virgin Islands court not to be conclusive if it could be shown to have an unreasonable or arbitrary basis, or in the event of manifest error.

 

(e)Prevention of Enforcement. Enforcement may be prevented by reason of fraud, coercion, duress, undue influence, unreasonable restraint of trade, misrepresentation, public policy or mistake or limited by the doctrine of frustration of contracts.

 

(f)Penal Provisions. Provisions, for example, for the payment of additional interest in certain circumstances, may be unenforceable to the extent a court of the British Virgin Islands determines such provisions to be penal.

 

(g)Currency. A British Virgin Islands court retains a discretion to denominate any judgment in US dollars.

 

(h)Confidentiality. Provisions imposing confidentiality obligations may be overridden by the requirements of legal process.

 

(i)Award of Costs. In principle the courts of the British Virgin Islands will award costs and disbursements in litigation in accordance with the relevant contractual provisions but there remains some uncertainty as to the way in which the rules of the High Court will be applied in practice.

 

(j)Inappropriate Forum. The courts of the British Virgin Islands may decline to exercise jurisdiction in relation to substantive proceedings brought under or in relation to the Registrable Securities Agreements in matters where they determine that (i) such proceedings may be tried in a more appropriate forum; (ii) proceedings are already underway in a different forum; or (iii) the issues have already been finally determined by another forum.

 

(k)Financial Services Business. An agreement made by a person in the course of carrying on unlicensed financial services business is unenforceable against the other party to the agreement under section 50F of the Financial Services Commission Act, Revised Edition 2020.

 

2Foreign Statutes. We express no opinion in relation to provisions making reference to foreign statutes in the Registration Statement.

 

3Commercial Terms. Except as specifically stated herein, we make no comment with respect to any representations and warranties which may be made by or with respect to the Company in any of the documents or instruments cited in this opinion or otherwise with respect to the commercial terms of the transactions the subject of this opinion.

 

4Meaning of Non-Assessable. In this opinion the phrase non-assessable means, with respect to the issuance of the Shares, that a shareholder shall not, in respect of the relevant Shares, have any obligation to make further contributions to the Company’s assets (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

 

5Good Standing. To maintain the Company in good standing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, it must pay its annual licence fees to the Registrar of Corporate Affairs, and comply with its mandated statutory obligations.

 

6Economic Substance. We have undertaken no enquiry and express no view as to the compliance of the Company with the Economic Substance (Companies and Limited Partnerships) Act, Revised Edition 2020.
