  (a) The Registrant’s prospectus, dated August 25, 2023, filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, in connection with the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-270493);

Item 4. Description of Securities.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

The Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of directors and officers, except to the extent that it may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as providing indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.

 

The Registrant’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that each director or officer of the Registrant shall be indemnified out of the assets and funds of the Registrant against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and amounts paid in settlement and costs of investigation (collectively “Losses”) incurred or sustained by such directors or officers, other than by reason of such person’s dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of the Registrant’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of such person’s duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any Losses incurred by such director or officer in defending or investigating (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil, criminal, investigative and administrative proceedings concerning or in any way related to the Registrant or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

 

Also, the Registrant has entered, and intends to continue to enter into indemnification agreements with its directors and applicable officers that provide such persons with contractual rights to indemnification as well as additional indemnification beyond that provided in the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant under the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

(a)         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)         To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

(i)             To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii)          To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and

 

(iii)       To include any material information with respect to the Plan not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

 

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

 

(2)         That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3)         To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(b)         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c)          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Dear Sirs and Mesdames

 

Ambipar Emergency Response (the "Company")

 

1.Background

 

We have acted as counsel as to Cayman Islands law to the Company in connection with the Company's registration statement on Form S-8 originally filed on October 12, 2023 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including all supplements and amendments thereto, the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares of par value US$0.0001 each in the capital of the Company (the “Shares”) for issuance pursuant to the Company's omnibus incentive plan, as amended (the “Plan”).

 

Capitalised terms used in this Opinion shall, unless the context requires otherwise, have the meanings ascribed to them in this Opinion and/or the Schedules.

 

2.Scope of Opinion

 

This Opinion is given only on the laws of the Cayman Islands in force at the date hereof and is based solely on matters of fact known to us at the date hereof. We have not investigated the laws or regulations of any jurisdiction other than the Cayman Islands (collectively, “Foreign Laws”). We express no opinion as to matters of fact or, unless expressly stated otherwise, the veracity of any representations or warranties given in or in connection with any of the documents set out in Schedule 1.

 

“Carey Olsen” in the Cayman Islands is the business name of Carey Olsen Cayman Limited, a body corporate recognised under the Legal Practitioners (Incorporated Practice) Regulations (as revised). The use of the title "Partner" is merely to denote seniority. Services are provided on the basis of our current terms of business, which can be viewed at: http://www.careyolsen.com/terms-business. CO Services Cayman Limited is regulated by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority as the holder of a corporate services licence (No. 624643) under the Companies Management Act (as revised).

3.Documents Reviewed and Enquiries Made

 

In giving this Opinion we have reviewed originals, copies, conformed copies, certified copies or notarised copies of the documents set out in Schedule 1.

 

4.Assumptions and Qualifications

 

This Opinion is given on the basis that the assumptions set out in Schedule 2 (which we have not independently investigated or verified) are true, complete and accurate in all respects. In addition, this Opinion is subject to the qualifications set out in Schedule 3.

 

5.Opinions

 

We are of the opinion that:

 

5.1Due incorporation, existence and status

 

The Company has been duly incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands (the "Companies Act"), is validly existing and was, at the date of the Certificate of Good Standing, in good standing with the Registrar.

 

5.2Issuance of Securities

 

The Shares have been duly authorised for issue, and when issued by the Company against payment in full of the consideration as contemplated by the Plan and the applicable agreements made thereunder, and in accordance with the Resolutions and the Memorandum and Articles (each as defined in Schedule 1 hereto), such Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a share is only issued when it has been entered in the register of members (shareholders) of the Company.

 

5.3Legal validity

 

The Plan is governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands and, assuming valid execution and delivery of the applicable Award Agreement (as defined in the Plan), the Plan will be or is, the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands.

 

 

 

 

 

Page 3

 

6.Reliance

 

Except as specifically referred to in this Opinion we have not examined, and give no opinion on, any contracts, instruments or other documents (whether or not referred to in, or contemplated by, the documents listed in Schedule 1). We do not give any opinion on the commercial merits of any transaction contemplated or entered into under or pursuant to the Plan.

 

This Opinion (and any obligations arising out of or in connection with it) is given on the basis that it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands. By relying on the opinions set out in this Opinion the addressee(s) hereby irrevocably agree(s) that the courts of the Cayman Islands are to have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes which may arise in connection with this Opinion. We assume no responsibility to advise any person entitled to rely on this Opinion, or to undertake any investigations, as to any change in Cayman Islands law (or its application) or factual matters arising after the date of this Opinion, which might affect the opinions set out herein.

 

This Opinion is addressed to, and is solely for the benefit of, the addressee and may not be relied upon by any other person without our prior written consent. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In providing our consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder

 

Yours faithfully  
   
/s/Carey Olsen  
Carey Olsen

schedule 3

 

QUALIFICATIONS

 

1.The obligations under the Plan will not necessarily be legal, valid, binding or enforceable in all circumstances and this Opinion is not to be taken to imply that each obligation would necessarily be capable of enforcement or be enforced in all circumstances in accordance with its terms. In particular, but without limitation:

 

(a)the binding effect, validity and enforceability of obligations may be limited by laws relating to bankruptcy, administration, insolvency, moratorium, liquidation, dissolution, re-organisation and other laws of general application relating to, or affecting the rights of, creditors; and

 

(b)enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity. For example, equitable remedies such as specific performance or the issuing of an injunction are available only at the discretion of the court and may not be available where, for example, damages are considered to be an adequate alternative and we therefore express no opinion on whether such remedies will be granted if sought.

 

2.We offer no opinion as to whether the acceptance of, or the execution or performance of, the Company's obligations under the Plan will or may result in the breach or infringement of any other deed, contract or document entered into by, or binding upon, such Company (other than its articles of association).

 

3.In order to maintain an exempted company in good standing with the Registrar, annual fees must be paid and annual filings must be made with the Registrar within the prescribed periods.

 

4.Under Cayman Islands law, the register of members (shareholders) is prima facie evidence of title to shares and this register would not record a third party interest in such shares. However, there are certain limited circumstances where an application may be made to a Cayman Islands court for a determination on whether the register of members reflects the correct legal position. Further, the Cayman Islands court has the power to order that the register of members maintained by a company should be rectified where it considers that the register of members does not reflect the correct legal position. As far as we are aware, such applications are rarely made in the Cayman Islands and for the purposes of the opinion given in paragraph 5.2, there are no circumstances or matters of fact known to us on the date of this opinion letter which would properly form the basis for an application for an order for rectification of the register of members of the Company, but if such an application were made in respect of the Securities, then the validity of such shares may be subject to re-examination by a Cayman Islands court.

 

5.In this opinion letter, the phrase "non-assessable" means, with respect to the issuance of shares, that a shareholder shall not, in respect of the relevant shares and in the absence of a contractual arrangement, or an obligation pursuant to the memorandum and articles of association, to the contrary, 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).
