Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are acting as United States counsel to AC Immune SA (the “Company”) in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) and the related Prospectus (the “Prospectus”) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. We have examined such matters of fact and law as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of this opinion.

We hereby confirm our opinion set forth under the caption “Taxation—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders” in the Prospectus.

We are members of the Bar of the State of New York and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York and the federal laws of the United States.

We hereby consent to the use of our name under the captions “Taxation—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders” and “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement and to the filing, as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, of this letter. In giving this consent we do not admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Very truly yours,
