We have acted as Luxembourg legal advisers to AUNA S.A., a public limited liability company (société anonyme) incorporated and organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, having its registered office at 6, Rue Jean Monnet, L-2180 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and registered with the Luxembourg Register of Commerce and Companies (the RCS) under number B267590 (the Company) in relation to the filing of a registration statement on Form S-8, as amended (the Registration Statement) filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on the date hereof for the purpose of the Unites States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), relating to the registration of 7,391,757 class A ordinary shares of the Company with a nominal value of USD 0.01 per share (the Shares), issuable pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”).
