| Re: | Registration Statement on Form S-1 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Jade Value Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Island exempted company (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), covering an underwritten public offering of (i) 4,000,000 units (the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of one of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), one-half of one redeemable warrant (collectively, the “Warrants”), each one warrant entitling its holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share, and one right (the “Rights”), each Right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of Class A Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination; (ii) up to 600,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) for which the underwriters have been granted an over-allotment option; (iii) all Class A Ordinary Shares, Warrants, and Rights issued as part of the Units and Over-Allotment Units; and (iv) all Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and conversion upon of the Rights included in the Units and Over-Allotment Units.
We have examined such documents and considered such legal matters as we have deemed necessary and relevant as the basis for the opinion set forth below. With respect to such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as reproduced or certified copies, and the authenticity of the originals of those latter documents. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have, to the extent deemed appropriate, relied upon certain representations of certain officers of the Company. Because the agreements governing the Warrants, Rights the Units and the Over-Allotment Units contain provisions stating that they are to be governed by the laws of the State of New York, we are rendering this opinion as to New York law. We are admitted to practice in the State of New York, and we express no opinion as to any matters governed by any law other than the law of the State of New York. In particular, we do not purport to pass on any matter governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that
| 1. | When the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Act, and when the offering is completed as contemplated by the Registration Statement, such Units will be legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms except: (a) as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); (b) as enforceability of any indemnification or contribution provision may be limited under the federal and state securities laws; (c) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought; (d) we express no opinion as to whether a state court outside of the State of New York or a federal court of the United States would give effect to the choice of New York law provided for in the Warrant Agreement and Right Agreement; and (e) with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares, we express no opinion to the extent that, notwithstanding its current reservation of shares of Class A Ordinary Shares, future issuances of securities, including the Class A Ordinary Shares, of the Company and/or adjustments to outstanding securities, including the Warrants and Rights underlying the Units, of the Company may cause the number of shares of Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Units, including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and conversion of the Rights underlying the Units, to exceed the number that remain authorized but unissued. |
