Dear Sirs

 

Nexters Inc., incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with company number 2053442 (the Company)

 

We have acted as counsel as to British Virgin Islands law to the Company in connection with the Company’s registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), on Form F-4, such registration statement including all amendments or supplements to such form filed with the Commission (the Registration Statement).

(A)       ordinary shares of no par value each (Ordinary Shares);

 

(B)       warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares (Warrants); and

This opinion is given in accordance with the terms of the legal matters section of the Registration Statement.
