5.Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set out below, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, so far as PRC Laws are concerned:

 

(1)Under the Trial Measures, domestic companies conducting overseas securities offering and listing activities, either in direct or indirect form, shall complete filing procedures with the CSRC pursuant to the requirements of the Trial Measures within three working days following its submission of initial public offerings or listing application. The companies that have already been listed on overseas stock exchanges or have obtained the approval from overseas supervision administrations or stock exchanges for its offering and listing and will complete their overseas offering and listing prior to September 30, 2023 are not required to make immediate filings for its listing yet need to make filings for subsequent offerings in accordance with the Trial Measures.

In view of the above and based on our understanding of the relevant PRC laws and regulations as of the date of this prospectus, the Offering will be identified as an indirect overseas issuance and listing of the PRC subsidiaries by CSRC, in view of the fact that the Trial Measures have come into effect on 31 March 2023, the Company shall fulfill the filing procedure with the CSRC as per requirement of the Trial Measures. As of the date of this Opinion, the Company has submitted required material and responded to questions in connection with the CSRC filing, and expects to obtain CSRC approval prior to the proposed initial public offering and listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market. However, if the Company do not comply with the filing procedures according to the Administration Measures or if the filing materials contain false records, misleading statements or material omissions, the CSRC may order the Company to rectify such non-compliance, issue a warning, and impose a fine of not less than RMB1 million and not more than RMB10 million.
