For the purposes of giving this opinion we have examined and relied upon the Registration Statement and the documents listed in Part 2 of Schedule 1 and made such enquiries as to questions of law as we have deemed necessary in order to render the opinion set forth herein. We have not examined any other documents, even if they are referred to in the Registration Statement or Plans.
For the purposes of giving this opinion we have carried out the Litigation Search described in Part 3 of Schedule 1.
We have not made any other enquiries concerning the Company and in particular we have not investigated or verified any matter of fact or opinion (whether set out in the Registration Statement or elsewhere) other than as expressly stated in this opinion.
Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised terms have the meanings assigned to them in Schedule 1. |
LIMITATIONS | ||||
Our opinion is limited to, and should be construed in accordance with, the laws of the Cayman Islands at the date of this opinion. We express no opinion on the laws of any other jurisdiction.
This opinion is limited to the matters stated in it and does not extend, and is not to be extended by implication, to any other matters. We express no opinion on the commercial implications of the Registration Statement or Plans or whether they give effect to the commercial intentions of the parties.
This opinion is given solely for the benefit of the Addressee(s) in connection with the matters referred to herein and, except with our prior written consent it may not be transmitted or disclosed to or used or relied upon by any other person or be relied upon for any other purpose whatsoever, save as, and to the extent provided, below.

ASSUMPTIONS AND RESERVATIONS
We give the following opinions on the basis of the assumptions set out in Schedule 2 (Assumptions), which we have not verified, and subject to the reservations set out in Schedule 3 (Reservations). | ||||

2. Good Standing: The Company is validly existing and in good standing with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands. | ||||
3. Issuance of Shares: Based on the foregoing, and subject to the Assumptions and Reservations, we are of the opinion that the Common Shares being registered pursuant to the Registration Statement, when issued and paid for in accordance with the respective Plan, pursuant to agreements with respect to the respective Plan and, as the case may be, pursuant to the terms of the awards that have been or may be granted under the respective Plan, Will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The term fully paid and non-assessable means when used herein that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue of the Common Shares. |
4. Winding Up and Litigation: Based solely upon the Litigation Search: | ||||
(a) no court proceedings are pending against the Company; and | ||||
(b) no court proceedings have been started by or against the Company for the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company or for the appointment of a liquidator, receiver, trustee or similar officer of the Company or of all or any of its assets. | ||||
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the United States of America Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) promulgated thereunder, or Item 509 of the SECs Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. | ||||

Schedule 3 | ||||
Reservations | ||||
Our opinion is subject to the following: | ||||
1. Litigation Search: The Litigation Search is not conclusively capable of revealing whether or not there is any originating process, amended originating process pending or any appeal pending in proceedings in which any party is a defendant or respondent as notice of these matters might not be entered on the court registers immediately. The Litigation Search would not reveal any proceedings against any predecessor entities that may have merged with or into any party under the laws of any jurisdiction nor any proceedings against any of the parties in a name other than the relevant partys current name. | ||||
2. Summary Court Register: We have not examined the register of the summary court of the Cayman Islands on the basis that claims in such court are limited to a maximum of approximately US$24,000. | ||||
3. Good Standing: Our opinion as to good standing is based solely upon receipt of the Certificate of Good Standing issued by the Registrar of Companies. The Company shall be deemed to be in good standing under section 200A of the Companies Act on the date of issue of the certificate if all fees and penalties under the Companies Act have been paid and the Registrar of Companies has no knowledge that the Company is in default under the Companies Act. | ||||
4. Corporate Documents: The Registry of Companies in the Cayman Islands is not public in the sense that copies of the Constitutional Documents and information on shareholders is not publicly available and information on directors is limited. We have therefore obtained copies of the corporate documents specified in Schedule 1 and relied exclusively on such copies for the verification of such corporate information. | ||||
5. Document with an as of Date: We express no opinion on the effectiveness of the date of any document which is dated as of or with effect from a date prior to that on which it is authorised, executed, and delivered by all parties thereto. |

(1) | In accordance with Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), this registration statement shall be deemed to cover any additional securities that may from time to time be offered or issued to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions effected without the receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of the outstanding shares of the registrants common shares, par value $0.0000028 per share (Common Shares). |
(2) | Consists of 27,473,811 additional Common Shares issuable under the registrants 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the 2021 Plan), which represents the automatic annual increase to the number of Common Shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan, effective as of January 1, 2023. Common Shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan were previously registered on (a) the registrants registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-264611), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on May 2, 2022, and (b) the registrants registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-259874), filed with the SEC on September 29, 2021 (together, the Previous Registration Statements). |
(3) | Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rules 457(c) and 457(h) of the Securities Act. The price per share and aggregate offering price are calculated on the basis of $0.63 per share, the average of the high and low price of the registrants Common Shares as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market on April 25, 2023. |
(4) | Consists of 22,141,295 additional Common Shares issuable under the registrants 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP), which represents the automatic annual increase to the number of Common Shares available for issuance under the ESPP effective as of January 1, 2023. Common Shares available for issuance under the ESPP were previously registered on the registrants Previous Registration Statements. |
(5) | The price of $0.54 per share, which is 85% of the average of the high and low sale prices of the Common Shares of the registrant as quoted on the Nasdaq Global Market on April 25, 2023, is set forth solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rules 457(c) and 457(h) of the Securities Act, and has been used as these shares are without a fixed price. Pursuant to the ESPP, the purchase price of the Common Shares reserved for issuance thereunder will be 85% of the lesser of (i) the fair market value on the first trading day of the offering period and (ii) the fair market value on the exercise date. |
