For the purposes of this Opinion, the term “Ordinary Shares” includes those ordinary shares issuable above.

This Opinion is given on the basis that the assumptions set out in Section 3 (which we have not independently investigated or verified) are true, complete and accurate in all respects. In addition, this Opinion is subject to the qualifications set out in Section 4.

When the Ordinary Shares have been issued by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and any relevant agreement thereunder and duly recorded in the Company’s register of members and the subscription price of such Ordinary Shares (being not less than the par value of the Ordinary Shares) has been fully paid, the Ordinary Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (which term means when used herein that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue of such shares).

4.Qualifications

 

This Opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

 

(a)The register of members of a Cayman Islands company provides prima facie evidence of the legal ownership of registered shares in a company. No purported creation or transfer of legal title to Ordinary Shares is effective until the register of members is updated accordingly. However, an entry in the register of members may be subject to rectification (for example, in the case of fraud or manifest error).

 

(b)Any issue of Ordinary Shares that takes place after the commencement of the winding up of the Company is void unless consented to by the liquidator (in the case of a voluntary winding up of the Company) or the courts of the Cayman Islands (in the case of a court-supervised winding up of the Company).

 

(c)To maintain the Company in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, annual filing fees must be paid and returns made to the Registrar within the time frame prescribed by law.

 

This Opinion (and any obligations arising out of or in connection with it) is given on the basis that it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the current law and practice in the Cayman Islands. By relying on the opinions set out in this Opinion the addressee(s) hereby irrevocably agree(s) that the courts of the Cayman Islands are to have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes which may arise in connection with this Opinion.

 

We are furnishing this Opinion as exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name therein. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are experts within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act or that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

 

Yours faithfully
