Dear Ladies and Gentlemen

 

Color Star Technology Co., Ltd. (the “Company”)

 

We have acted as special legal counsel in the Cayman Islands to the Company in connection with the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-236616) originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States (the “Commission”) on 25 February 2020 and declared effective by the Commission on 10 March 2020, including all amendments or supplements thereto (the “Registration Statement”, which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto) relating to the registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and the related final prospectus (the “Prospectus”) as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated 15 September 2020 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) and filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) of the Securities Act included therein, relating to the issue and offering by the Company (the “Offering”) from time to time of an aggregate of 13,200,000 ordinary shares of the Company, par value US$0.001 each (the “Ordinary Shares”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 11,880,000 ordinary shares of the Company (the “Warrant Shares, and together with the Ordinary Shares and the Warrants, the “Securities”) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as defined below). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

We express no opinion as to validity or the binding effect of obligations to make any payment at an increased rate on overdue amounts or on the happening of an event of default or to pay a specified rate of interest on the amount of a judgment after the date of judgment. In addition, any provision expressly or impliedly providing that certain statements, calculations and/or certificates are incorrect on their face or fraudulent will not necessarily prevent judicial enquiry into the merits of a claim of an aggrieved party. We express no opinion in respect of the enforceability of any provision in the Transaction Documents which purports to fetter the statutory powers of the Company.

 

We have made no investigation of and express no opinion in relation to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Cayman Islands. This opinion is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and is limited to and is given on the basis of the current law and practice in the Cayman Islands. This opinion is issued solely for your benefit and is not to be relied upon by any other person, firm or entity or in respect of any other matter.

 

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

 

1.As of the Certificate Date, the Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and is validly existing as an exempted company and in good standing (meaning that it has not failed to make any filing with any Cayman Islands government authority or to pay any Cayman Islands government fee or tax which might make it liable to be struck off the Register of Companies and thereby cease to exist under the laws of the Cayman Islands).

 

2.When issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Offering described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement and the Documents and recorded in the register of members of the Company, the Ordinary Shares will be validly issued fully-paid and non-assessable (which term when used herein means that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue thereof).

 

3.The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and when issued and delivered by the Company pursuant to the Transaction Documents against payment of the consideration set forth in the Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable (which term when used herein means that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue thereof).
