15 December 2023

 

Ucommune International Ltd (the “Company”)

 

We have been asked to render this opinion in our capacity as counsel as to Cayman Islands law to the Company in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on 15 December 2023, relating to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Act”) of 1,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares of par value US$0.024 each in the authorised but unissued share capital of the Company (the “Shares”) for issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2020 Share Incentive Plan, as amended and effective on 6 May 2021, second amended and restated on 19 August 2022 and third amended and restated on 1 December 2023 (the “Plan”).

 

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined copies of the Registration Statement and the Plan. We have also reviewed the corporate authorisations of the Company in connection with the Plan and the issue of the Shares by the Company.

 

Based upon, and subject to, the assumptions and qualifications set out below, and having regard to such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

 

1.The Shares to be issued by the Company and registered under the Registration Statement have been duly and validly authorised.

 

2.When issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Plan and in accordance with the resolutions adopted by the board of directors of the Company (or any individual or committee to whom the board of directors have delegated their powers with respect to administration of the Plan), and when appropriate entries are made in the register of members (shareholders) of the Company, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

In this opinion letter, the phrase “non-assessable” means, with respect to the issuance of the Shares, that a shareholder shall not, in respect of the relevant Shares, have any obligation to make further contributions to the Company’s assets (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

 

 

 

 

These opinions are subject to the qualification that under the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, the register of members of a Cayman Islands company is by statute regarded as prima facie evidence of any matters which the Companies Act (As Revised) directs or authorises to be inserted therein. A third party interest in the shares in question would not appear. An entry in the register of members may yield to a court order for rectification (for example, in the event of fraud or manifest error).

 

These opinions are given only as to, and based on, circumstances and matters of fact existing and known to us on the date of this opinion letter. These opinions only relate to the laws of the Cayman Islands which are in force on the date of this opinion letter. We express no opinion as to the meaning, validity or effect of any references to foreign (i.e. non-Cayman Islands) statutes, rules, regulations, codes, judicial authority or any other promulgations.

 

We have also relied upon the assumptions, which we have not independently verified, that (a) all signatures, initials and seals are genuine, (b) copies of documents, conformed copies or drafts of documents provided to us are true and complete copies of, or in the final forms of, the originals, and (c) upon the issue of any Shares, the consideration received by the Company shall be not less than the par value of such Shares.

 

We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and further consent to all references to us in the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto. In giving such consent, we do not consider that we are “experts” within the meaning of such term as used in the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued thereunder, with respect to any part of the Registration Statement, including this opinion as an exhibit or otherwise.

 

Yours faithfully

Section 8. Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units.

 

(a) The Administrator is hereby authorized to grant Awards of Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units to Participants.

 

(b) Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Administrator may impose (including, without limitation, any limitation on the right to vote a Restricted Share or the right to receive any dividend or other right or property), which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times, in such installments or otherwise, as the Administrator may deem appropriate.

 

(c) Any Restricted Share granted under this 2020 Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator may deem appropriate including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a share certificate or certificates, creation of a new class of shares or amendment of the Memorandum and/or Articles of Association of the Company. In the event any share certificate is issued in respect of Restricted Shares granted under this 2020 Plan, such certificate shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Share. 

 

Section 9. Other Share-Based Awards.

 

The Administrator is hereby authorized to grant to Participants such other Awards (including, without limitation, share appreciation rights and rights to dividends and dividend equivalents) that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares) as are deemed by the Administrator to be consistent with the purposes of this 2020 Plan. Subject to the terms of this 2020 Plan, the Administrator shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards. Shares or other securities delivered pursuant to a purchase right granted under this Section 9 shall be purchased for such consideration, which may be paid by such method or methods and in such form or forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, or other property, or any combination thereof, as the Administrator shall determine.

 

Section 10. General Provisions Applicable to Awards.

 

(a) All Awards shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement between the Company and each Participant.

 

(b) Awards shall be granted for no cash consideration or for such minimal cash consideration as may be required by Applicable Laws.

 

(c) Awards may, in the discretion of the Administrator, be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with any other Award or any award granted under any other plan of the Company. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards, or in addition to or in tandem with awards granted under any other plan of the Company, may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards.

 

(d) Subject to the terms of this 2020 Plan, payments or transfers to be made by the Company upon the grant, exercise or payment of an Award may be made in such form or forms as the Administrator shall determine including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, or other property, or any combination thereof, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, in each case in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator. Such rules and procedures may include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of dividend equivalents in respect of installment or deferred payments.

 

(e) Unless the Board or the Administrator shall otherwise determine, no Award and no right under any such Award, shall be assignable, alienable, saleable or transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that, if so determined by the Administrator or the Board, a Participant may, in the manner established by the Administrator, designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise the rights of the Participant, and to receive any property distributable, with respect to any Award upon the death of the Participant. Each Award, and each right under any Award, shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or, if permissible under Applicable Laws and the applicable Award Agreement, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. No Award and no right under any such Award, may be pledged, charged, mortgaged, alienated, attached, or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, charge, mortgage, alienation, attachment or encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable against the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any Award which has been fully exercised, earned or paid, as the case may be, and shall not preclude forfeiture of an Award in accordance with the terms hereof and of the applicable Award Agreement.

(f) All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under this 2020 Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator may deem advisable under this 2020 Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Shares or other securities are then listed, and any Applicable Laws, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

 

(g) No Shares shall be delivered under the 2020 Plan to any Participant until such Participant has made arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of any income and employment tax withholding obligations under Applicable Laws. The Company or any of its subsidiaries shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company or its subsidiaries, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable taxes (including the Participant’s payroll tax obligations) required or permitted by Applicable Laws to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a Participant arising as a result of the 2020 Plan. The Administrator may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow a Participant to elect to have the Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable under an Award (or allow the return of Shares) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sum required to be withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision of the 2020 Plan, the number of Shares which may be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award (or which may be repurchased from the Participant of such Award after such Shares were acquired by the Participant from the Company) in order to satisfy any income and payroll tax liabilities applicable to the Participant with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of the Award shall, unless specifically approved by the Administrator, be limited to the number of Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for the applicable income and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. 

 

Section 11. Amendment and Termination.

 

(a) Except to the extent prohibited by Applicable Laws and unless otherwise expressly provided in an Award Agreement or in this 2020 Plan, the Administrator may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate this 2020 Plan, or any Award Agreement hereunder or any portion hereof or thereof at any time; provided, however, that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without (i) shareholder approval with such legally mandated threshold for a resolution of the shareholders of the Company, if such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement for which or with which the Administrator deems it necessary or desirable to qualify or comply, and (ii) with respect to any Award Agreement, the consent of the affected Participant, if such action would materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under any outstanding Award.

 

(b) The Administrator may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate, any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, without the consent of any relevant Participant or holder or beneficiary of an Award; provided, however, that no such action shall materially and adversely affect the rights of any affected Participant or holder or beneficiary under any Award theretofore granted under this 2020 Plan; and provided further that, except as provided in Section 6(e) hereof, no such action shall reduce the exercise price of any Option established at the time of grant thereof.

 

(c) The Administrator shall be authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 6(e) hereof affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company, or of changes in Applicable Laws or accounting principles); whenever the Administrator determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this 2020 Plan.

 

-6-

 

 

(d) Any provision of this 2020 Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, with the affected Participant’s consent, the Administrator may cause any Award granted hereunder to be canceled in consideration of a cash payment or alternative Award made to the holder of such canceled Award equal in value to the Fair Market Value of such canceled Award as of the time of the cancellation.

 

(e) The Administrator may correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in this 2020 Plan or any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to carry this 2020 Plan into effect.

 

Section 12. Withholding Taxes.  The exercise of each Award granted under this 2020 Plan shall be subject to the condition that, if at any time, the Administrator shall determine that the satisfaction of withholding tax is necessary or desirable in respect of such exercise, such exercise shall not be effective unless such withholding has been effected to the satisfaction of the Administrator. In such circumstances, the Administrator may require the exercising Participant to pay to the Company, in addition to and in the same manner as the exercise price for the Award Shares, such amount as the Company or any Affiliate is obliged to remit to the relevant taxing authority in respect of the exercise of the Awards. Alternatively, the Administrator may direct the Company or an Affiliate thereof to withhold the appropriate amount of tax from the applicable Participant’s salary in connection with a requested exercise.  Any such additional payment shall be due no later than the date as of which any amount with respect to the Award exercised first becomes includable in the gross income of the exercising Participant for tax purposes.

 

Section 13. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) No employee, independent contractor, Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under this 2020 Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of employees, independent contractors, Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under this 2020 Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

 

(b) Nothing contained in this 2020 Plan shall prevent the Company from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

 

(c) The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the Company or the applicable Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or terminate the services of an independent contractor, free from any liability, or any claim under this 2020 Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in this 2020 Plan or in any Award Agreement or in any other agreement binding upon the parties.

 

(d) If any provision of this 2020 Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person or Award, or would disqualify this 2020 Plan or any Award under any Applicable Laws, such provision shall (to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws) be construed or deemed amended to conform to Applicable Laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Administrator, materially altering the intent of this 2020 Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of this 2020 Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

 

(e) Awards payable under this 2020 Plan shall be payable in Shares or from the general assets of the Company, and no special or separate reserve, fund or deposit shall be made to assure payment of such awards. No Participant, beneficiary or other person shall have any right, title or interest in any fund or in any specific asset (including Shares, except as expressly otherwise provided) of the Company or one of its subsidiaries by reason of any award hereunder.

 

(f) Neither this 2020 Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a Participant. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

 

(g) No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to this 2020 Plan or any Award, and the Administrator shall determine whether cash, other securities or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares, or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

(h) This 2020 Plan shall be submitted to the competent foreign exchange regulatory authority and tax authority of the PRC for registration if Applicable Laws require, and shall be implemented in accordance with the applicable rules of these authorities with respect to Participants who are PRC residents.

 

(i) In order to assure the viability of Awards granted to Participants employed in various jurisdictions, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide for such special terms as it may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy, or custom applicable in the jurisdiction in which the Participant resides or is employed. Moreover, the Administrator may approve such supplements to, amendments, restatements or alternative versions of this 2020 Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes without thereby affecting the terms of this 2020 Plan as in effect for any other purpose; provided, however, that no such supplements, restatements or alternative versions shall increase the share limitations contained in Section 6 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted, that would violate any Applicable Laws.

 

(j) The Company shall not be obligated to grant any Awards, permit the exercise of any Awards, issue any Award Shares upon the exercise of any Awards, make any payments or take any other action pursuant to this 2020 Plan if, in the opinion of the Administrator, such action would conflict or be inconsistent with any Applicable Law or the Company’s trading policies, and the Administrator reserves the right to refuse to take such action for so long as such conflict or inconsistency or issue remains outstanding.

 

(k) The Company shall maintain a register of Awards granted to the Participants and Award Shares issued to the Participants or an entity designated by the Participants, including the dates of grant of such Awards and the exercise of such Awards and any other details as the Administrator may deem appropriate.

 

(l) The 2020 Plan and all Award Agreements shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands.

 

Section 14. Effective Date of 2020 Plan.

 

The 2020 Plan shall be effective upon the closing the Business Combination with its approval by the Board of the Company (the “Effective Date”).

 

Section 15. Term of 2020 Plan.

 

No Award shall be granted under this 2020 Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. However, unless otherwise expressly provided in this 2020 Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award theretofore granted may extend beyond such date, and the authority of the Administrator to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award, or to waive any conditions or rights under any such Award, and the authority of the Board to amend this 2020 Plan, shall extend beyond such date.

In accordance with Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this Registration Statement also covers an indeterminate number of additional securities which may be offered and issued under the Share Incentive Plan to prevent dilution from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions as provided in the Share Incentive Plan.

(4)Any Class A Ordinary Shares covered by an award granted under the Share Incentive Plan (or portion of an award) that expires, for any reason, is cancelled or terminated without having been exercise or settled or that is forfeited or repurchased and held as treasury shares shall be deemed not to have been issued for purposes of determining the maximum aggregate number of Class A Ordinary Shares which may be issued under the Share Incentive Plan.
