ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we refer to as the SEC, utilizing a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may from time to time sell the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings.

This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we sell securities, we will provide one or more prospectus supplements that will contain specific information about the terms of the offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement together with the additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information” appearing below.

You should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement or in any related free writing prospectus filed by us with the SEC. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. This prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement do not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities other than the securities described in the accompanying prospectus supplement or an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy such securities in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement, the documents incorporated by reference and any related free writing prospectus is accurate only as of their respective dates. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed materially since those dates.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES AND GUARANTEES

The debt securities will be direct unsecured obligations of Genpact Luxembourg S.à r.l. and will be senior debt securities. The debt securities will be issued under the indenture filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The indenture will be subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

Genpact Luxembourg S.à r.l. may issue the debt securities in one or more series. Specific terms of each series of debt securities will be contained in a supplemental indenture. The specific terms will be described in a prospectus supplement.

The debt securities will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Genpact Limited, as the guarantor.

 

9


Table of Contents

FORM OF DEBT SECURITIES

Each debt security will be represented either by a certificate issued in definitive form to a particular investor or by one or more global securities representing the entire issuance of securities. Unless the applicable prospectus supplement provides otherwise, certificated securities in definitive form and global securities will be issued in registered form. Definitive securities name you or your nominee as the owner of the security, and in order to transfer or exchange these securities or to receive payments other than interest or other interim payments, you or your nominee must physically deliver the securities to the trustee, registrar, paying agent or other agent, as applicable. Global securities name a depositary or its nominee as the owner of the debt securities represented by these global securities. The depositary maintains a computerized system that will reflect each investor’s beneficial ownership of the securities through an account maintained by the investor with its broker/dealer, bank, trust company or other representative, as we explain more fully below.

Registered Global Securities

We may issue the debt securities in the form of one or more fully registered global securities that will be deposited with a depositary or its nominee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement and registered in the name of that depositary or nominee. In those cases, one or more registered global securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal or face amount of the debt securities to be represented by registered global securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole for securities in definitive registered form, a registered global security may not be transferred except as a whole by and among the depositary for the registered global security, the nominees of the depositary or any successors of the depositary or those nominees.

If not described below, any specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any securities to be represented by a registered global security will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to those securities. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements.

Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be limited to persons, called participants, that have accounts with the depositary or persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a registered global security, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participants’ accounts with the respective principal or face amounts of the securities beneficially owned by the participants. Any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the securities will designate the accounts to be credited. Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary, with respect to interests of participants, and on the records of participants, with respect to interests of persons holding through participants. The laws of some states may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of these securities in definitive form. These laws may impair your ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in registered global securities.

So long as the depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a registered global security, that depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the securities represented by the registered global security for all purposes under the indenture. Except as described below, owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security will not be entitled to have the securities represented by the registered global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the securities under the indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for that registered global security and, if that person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture. We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered global security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the indenture, the depositary for the registered global security would authorize the

 

10


Table of Contents

participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take that action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through them to give or take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.

Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on debt securities represented by a registered global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the registered global security. None of us, or any trustee, or any other agent of ours or of any trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the registered global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to those beneficial ownership interests.

We expect that the depositary for any of the securities represented by a registered global security, upon receipt of any payment to holders of principal, premium, interest or other distribution of underlying securities or other property to holders on that registered global security, will immediately credit participants’ accounts in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in that registered global security as shown on the records of the depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security held through participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of those participants.

If the depositary for any of the securities represented by a registered global security is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act is not appointed by us within 90 days, we will issue securities in definitive form in exchange for the registered global security that had been held by the depositary. Any securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global security will be registered in the name or names that the depositary gives to the trustee or other relevant agent of ours or theirs. It is expected that the depositary’s instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global security that had been held by the depositary.

through dealers;

 

   

through agents;

 

   

directly to purchasers; or

 

   

through a combination of any of these methods of sale.

We may directly solicit offers to purchase securities, or agents may be designated to solicit such offers. We will, in the prospectus supplement relating to such offering, name any agent that could be viewed as an underwriter under the Securities Act, and describe any commissions that we must pay. Any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment or, if indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, on a firm commitment basis. This prospectus may be used in connection with any offering of the securities through any of these methods or other methods described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The distribution of the securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions:

 

   

at a fixed price, or prices, which may be changed from time to time;

 

   

at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

 

   

at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

 

   

at negotiated prices.

Each prospectus supplement will describe the method of distribution of the securities and any applicable restrictions.

The prospectus supplement with respect to the securities of a particular series will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including the following:

 

   

the name of the agent or any underwriters;

 

   

the public offering or purchase price;

 

   

any discounts and commissions to be allowed or paid to the agent or underwriters;

 

   

all other items constituting underwriting compensation;

 

   

any discounts and commissions to be allowed or paid to dealers; and

 

   

any exchanges on which the securities will be listed.

If any underwriters or agents are utilized in the sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered, we will enter into an underwriting agreement or other agreement with them at the time of sale to them, and we will set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to such offering the names of the underwriters or agents and the terms of the related agreement with them.

If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered, we will sell such securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell such securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealer at the time of resale.

Agents, underwriters, dealers and other persons may be entitled under agreements which they may enter into with us to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.

Institutions with whom the contracts, when authorized, may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and other institutions, but shall in all cases be subject to our approval. Delayed delivery contracts will not be subject to any conditions except that:

 

   

the purchase by an institution of the securities covered under that contract shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the jurisdiction to which that institution is subject; and

 

   

if the securities are also being sold to underwriters acting as principals for their own account, the underwriters shall have purchased such securities not sold for delayed delivery. The underwriters and other persons acting as our agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of delayed delivery contracts.

Certain agents, underwriters and dealers, and their associates and affiliates, may be customers of, have borrowing relationships with, engage in other transactions with, and/or perform services, including investment banking services, for us or one or more of our respective affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

In order to facilitate the offering of the securities, any underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities or any other securities the prices of which may be used to determine payments on such securities. Specifically, any underwriters may overallot in connection with the offering, creating a short position for their own accounts. In addition, to cover overallotments or to stabilize the price of the securities or of any such other securities, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, the securities or any such other securities in the open market. Finally, in any offering of the securities through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing the securities in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities above independent market levels. Any such underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time.

Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise or the securities are sold by us to an underwriter in a firm commitment underwritten offering. The applicable prospectus supplement may provide that the original issue date for your securities may be more than two scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities. Accordingly, in such a case, if you wish to trade securities on any date prior to the second business day before the original issue date for your securities, you will be required, by virtue of the fact that your securities initially are expected to settle in more than two scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities, to make alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

The securities may be new issues of securities and may have no established trading market. The securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. We can provide no assurance as to the liquidity of or the existence of trading markets for any of the securities.

In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, the aggregate maximum discount, commission or agency fees or other items constituting underwriting compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer will not exceed 8% of the proceeds from any offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Luxembourg Registrant

Genpact Luxembourg S.à r.l. is a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, having its registered office at 12F, rue Guillaume Kroll, L-1882 Luxembourg and registered with the Luxembourg trade and companies register under number B131.149.

The indemnification of managers of Luxembourg companies is not expressly regulated under Luxembourg law. The contractual relationship between a Luxembourg company and its managers is governed by the general rules of agency, and managers assume, by reason of their position, no personal liability in relation to any commitment validly made by them in the name of the Company, to the extent such commitment is in compliance with the articles of association of the company and the applicable provisions of Luxembourg law.

The Updated and Consolidated Articles of Association of Genpact Luxembourg S.à r.l. do not contain any indemnification provisions with respect to its managers.

The three managers of class B of Genpact Luxembourg S.à r.l. have each entered into an agency agreement with Genpact Limited pursuant to which Genpact Limited covenants that it will at all times indemnify and keep indemnified the relevant three managers of class B of Genpact Luxembourg S.à r.l. against all actions, suits, proceedings, claims demands, costs, charges and expenses whatsoever which may be made, taken or instituted against any of the three managers of class B or which may be incurred or become payable by any of the three managers of class B in connection with or arising out of any of the three managers of class B holding office of the Company or in connection with or arising out of any act or omission done or omitted to be done by any of the three managers of class B in its capacity as officer of Genpact Luxembourg S.à r.l., provided that this indemnity shall not extend to any actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, costs, and expenses whatsoever which may be made, taken or instituted against any of the three managers of class B or which may be incurred or become payable by any of the three managers of class B in respect of any negligence, willful misconduct, willful default or breach of agreement by any such manager of class B.

Bermuda Registrant

Genpact Limited is organized under the laws of Bermuda.

The bye-laws of Genpact Limited (the “Parent Guarantor”) provide for indemnification of the Parent Guarantor’s officers and directors against all liabilities, loss, damage or expense incurred or suffered by such party as an officer or director of the Parent Guarantor to the fullest extent authorized by the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, or the Companies Act.

The Companies Act provides that a Bermuda company may indemnify its directors and officers in respect of any loss arising or liability attaching to them as a result of any negligence, default or breach of trust of which they may be guilty in relation to the company in question. However, the Companies Act also provides that any provision, whether contained in the company’s bye-laws or in a contract or arrangement between the company and the director or officer, indemnifying a director or officer against any liability which would attach to him in respect of his fraud or dishonesty will be void.

The Parent Guarantor has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors. These agreements, among other things, provide that the Parent Guarantor will indemnify, and advance expenses on behalf of, its directors to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The indemnification agreements also establish the procedures that will apply under the agreements in the event a director makes a claim for indemnification.

The directors and officers of the Parent Guarantor are covered by directors’ and officers’ insurance policies maintained by the Parent Guarantor.

Exhibits.

The exhibits to this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement are listed in the exhibit index, which appears elsewhere herein and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 17.

Undertakings.

 

(a)

Each 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

  (iii)

to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by Genpact Limited pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement.

 

II-2


Table of Contents
  (2)

That, for the purposes 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 the 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.

 

  (4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

 

  (i)

each prospectus filed by the Registrants pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

  (ii)

each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

  (5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrants under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, each of the undersigned Registrants undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of such undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, such undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

  (i)

any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of such undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

  (ii)

any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of such undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by such undersigned Registrant;

 

  (iii)

the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about such undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of such undersigned Registrant; and

 

  (iv)

any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by such undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

 

(b)

Each undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of Genpact Limited’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.

 

II-3


Table of Contents
(c)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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 Registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrants 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, each 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.

Genpact Luxembourg S.à r.l.

Form S-3 Registration Statement

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special New York counsel to Genpact Luxembourg S.à r.l., a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (the “Company”), and Genpact Limited, an exempted company organized under the laws of Bermuda (the “Guarantor”), in connection with the filing by the Company and the Guarantor with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-230982) (as so amended, the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the registration under the Act and the issuance and sale from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act of debt securities of the Company in one or more series (the “Debt Securities”) and guarantees of the Debt Securities by the Guarantor (the “Guarantee”).

Unless otherwise provided in any prospectus supplement forming a part of the Registration Statement relating to a particular series of the Debt Securities, the Debt Securities will be issued pursuant to the indenture dated as of March 27, 2017 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture dated as of March 27, 2017 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantor and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

In that connection, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion, including the Indenture (including the Guarantee therein) and the form of Debt Securities included therein.


In rendering this opinion, we have assumed, with your consent and without independent investigation or verification, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or copies. We also have assumed, with your consent, that the Indenture (including the Guarantee therein) has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee and that the form of the Debt Securities will conform to that included in the Indenture.

Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set forth herein, we are of opinion as follows:

1. When the Debt Securities have been duly authorized by the Company and executed, authenticated (including the due authentication of the Debt Securities by the Trustee), issued and delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture (including any supplemental indenture related thereto) and any applicable purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the Company and the Guarantor, and upon payment of the consideration therefor as provided for therein, such Debt Securities will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and to general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

2. When the Debt Securities have been duly authorized by the Company and executed, authenticated (including the due authentication of the Debt Securities by the Trustee), issued and delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture (including any supplemental indenture related thereto) and any applicable purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the Company and the Guarantor, and upon payment of the consideration therefor as provided for therein, the Guarantee will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and to general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

We are admitted to practice in the State of New York, and we express no opinion as to matters governed by any laws other than the laws of the State of New York and the Federal laws of the United States of America. In particular, we do not purport to pass on any matter governed by the laws of Luxembourg or Bermuda. Insofar as the opinions expressed herein relate to or depend upon matters governed by the laws of other jurisdictions as they relate to the Company or the Guarantor, we have relied upon and assumed the correctness of, without independent investigation, the opinions of Allen & Overy, société en commandite simple (inscrite au barreau de Luxembourg), Luxembourg counsel to the Company and Appleby (Bermuda) Limited, Bermuda counsel to the Guarantor, each of which is being delivered to you and filed with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus constituting a part of the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.

4.

OPINIONS

Based upon, and subject to, the assumptions made above and the qualifications set out below and subject to any matters not disclosed to us, we are of the opinion that, under the laws of Luxembourg in effect, as construed and applied by the Luxembourg courts in published Luxembourg court decisions, on the date hereof:

 

4.1

Status

The Company is a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) formed for an unlimited duration under the laws of Luxembourg.

 

4


4.2

Power, authority and authorisation

The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform the Agreements and to perform its obligations thereunder and has taken all necessary corporate actions to authorise the contents and the execution of the Agreements.

 

4.3

Due Execution

The Agreements have been validly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company.

 

4.4

Non-conflict

The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Agreements do not violate the Articles or any applicable law of Luxembourg relating to private limited liability companies generally.

 

4.5

No consents

No authorisations, approvals or consents of governmental, judicial and public bodies and authorities of or in Luxembourg are required under statute in connection with the entity into or performance by the Company of the Agreements.

 

4.6

No immunity

The Company is not entitled to claim immunity from jurisdiction or immunity from enforcement with respect to any action or proceeding brought in connection with their obligations under the Agreements in the courts of Luxembourg.

 

4.7

Certificate

According to the Certificate, on the day immediately prior to the date of issuance of the Certificate, no court order was recorded with the Register pursuant to which the Company had been adjudicated bankrupt (faillite) or become subject to, or benefited from, a reprieve from payment (sursis de paiement), controlled management (gestion contrôlée) or composition with creditors (concordat préventif de la faillite), judicial liquidation or judicial appointment of a temporary administrator.

 

5.

QUALIFICATIONS

The above opinions are subject to the following qualifications:

 

5.1

The opinions expressed herein are subject to, and may be affected or limited by, the provisions of any applicable bankruptcy (faillite), insolvency, liquidation, reprieve from payment (sursis de paiement), controlled management (gestion contrôlée), composition with creditors (concordat préventif de la faillite), reorganisation proceedings or similar Luxembourg or foreign law proceedings or regimes affecting the rights of creditors generally.

 

5.2

We express no tax opinion whatsoever in respect of the Company or the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Agreements.

 

5.3

We express no opinion whatsoever on regulatory matters or on matters of fact or on matters other than those expressly set forth in this legal opinion, and no opinion is, or may be, implied or inferred herefrom.

 

5.4

A search at the Register is not capable of conclusively revealing whether a (and the Certificate does not constitute conclusive evidence that no) winding-up resolution or petition, or an order adjudicating or declaring a, or a petition or filing for, bankruptcy or reprieve from payment (sursis

 

5


  de paiement), controlled management (gestion contrôlée), composition with creditors (concordat préventif de la faillite) or judicial liquidation (liquidation judiciaire) or similar action has been adopted or made.

 

5.5

The corporate documents of, and relevant court orders affecting, a Luxembourg company (including, but not limited to, the notice of a winding-up order or resolution, notice of the appointment of a receiver or similar officer) may not be held at the Register immediately and there is generally a delay in the relevant document appearing on the files regarding the company concerned. Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that the required filing of documents has not occurred or that documents filed with the Register may have been mislaid or lost. In accordance with Luxembourg company law, changes or amendments to corporate documents to be filed at the Register will be effective (opposable) vis-à-vis third parties only as of the day of their publication in the Luxembourg official gazette (Mémorial C, Recueil des Sociétés et Associations or RESA, Recueil électronique des sociétés et associations, as applicable) unless the company proves that the relevant third parties had prior knowledge thereof.

 

5.6

We express no opinion on the legal validity and the enforceability of the Agreements.

 

5.7

In the case of legal proceedings being brought before a Luxembourg court or production of the Agreements before an official Luxembourg authority, such Luxembourg court or official authority may require that the Agreements and/or any judgment obtained in a foreign court must be translated into French or German.

 

5.8

Punitive, treble or similar damages may not be enforceable in the Luxembourg courts.

 

5.9

The Registration Statement has been prepared by the Company, which has accepted responsibility for the information contained therein.

 

6.

This legal opinion is as of this date and we undertake no obligation to update it or advise of changes hereafter occurring. We express no opinion as to any matters other than those expressly set forth herein, and no opinion is, or may be, implied or inferred herefrom. We express no opinion on any economic, financial or statistical information (including formulas determining payments to be made) contained in the Agreements (or any document in connection therewith).

 

7.

This legal opinion is given on the express basis, accepted by each person who is entitled to rely on it, that this legal opinion and all rights, obligations or liability in relation to it are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, Luxembourg law and that any action or claim in relation to it can be brought exclusively before the courts of Luxembourg.

 

8.

In this matter we have taken instructions solely from the Company. This legal opinion however has been addressed to the Addressees in connection with the Company’s entry into the Agreements. We note that we have not advised the Addressees (other than the Company) on the legal implications of the Agreements (other than those specifically opined on herein). We exceptionally accept addressing this legal opinion to the Addressees (other than the Company) solely in relation to the matters opined on herein, but the giving of this legal opinion is not to be taken as implying that we owe the Addressees (other than the Company) any duty of care (other than in respect of the accuracy of the opinions expressly provided herein) in relation to the Agreements, the transactions contemplated by the Agreements or their commercial or financial implications. The fact that we have provided this legal opinion to the Addressees (other than the Company) shall further not be deemed to have created any client relationship between us and the Addressees. The following provisions shall also apply in respect of the provision of this legal opinion to the Addressees (other than the Company), except that if and to the extent that any general terms of engagement that we may have in place at the date of this legal opinion with the Addressees(other than the Company) where such Addressees

 

6


  (other than the Company) are our clients have a different effect, then such other effect shall apply in relation to the provision of this legal opinion:

 

8.1

we shall have no obligation to advise the Addressees (other than the Company) in the future on any of the matters referred to in this legal opinion and the fact that we have provided this legal opinion to the Addressees (other than the Company) (i) shall not restrict us from representing and advising the Company (if the Company so requests) in relation to any matter at any time in the future (whether or not separate legal advisors are retained on any such matters by the Addressees (other than the Company)), and (ii) shall not be deemed to have caused us any conflict of interest in relation to the giving of any such advice; and

 

8.2

as regards the Addressees (other than the Company), any non-contractual rights and obligations arising out of or in connection with this legal opinion are governed by and are to be construed in accordance with Luxembourg law and the courts of Luxembourg have exclusive jurisdiction in respect of any dispute or matter arising out of or in connection with this legal opinion.

 

9.

Any Addressee who is entitled to, and does, rely on this legal opinion agrees, by so relying, that, to the fullest extent permitted by law and regulation (and except in the case of wilful misconduct or fraud) there is no assumption of personal duty of care by, and such person will not bring any claim against, any individual who is a partner of, member of, employee of or consultant to Allen & Overy, société en commandite simple, Allen & Overy LLP or any other member of the group of Allen & Overy undertakings and that such person will instead confine any claim to Allen & Overy, société en commandite simple, Allen & Overy LLP or any other member of the group of Allen & Overy undertakings (and for this purpose “claim” means (save only where law and regulation applies otherwise) any claim, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), for breach of statutory duty, or otherwise).

 

10.

Luxembourg legal concepts are expressed in English terms and not in their original French or German terms. The concepts concerned may not be identical to the concepts described by the same English terms as they exist under the laws of other jurisdictions. It should be noted that there are always irreconcilable differences between languages making it impossible to guarantee a totally accurate translation or interpretation. In particular, there are always some legal concepts which exist in one jurisdiction and not in another, and in those cases it is bound to be difficult to provide a completely satisfactory translation or interpretation because the vocabulary is missing from the language. We accept no responsibility for omissions or inaccuracies to the extent that they are attributable to such factors.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission. This opinion may be relied upon by Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP in connection with the provision of its legal opinion to be rendered in connection with the Registration Statement.

Yours faithfully,

SCHEDULE 3

Reservations

Our opinion is subject to the following:

 

1.

Enforcement: The term “enforceable” as used in this opinion means that there is a way of ensuring that each party performs an agreement or that there are remedies available for breach. Notwithstanding that the obligations established by the Subject Agreements are obligations which the Bermuda courts would generally enforce, they may not necessarily be capable of enforcement in all circumstances in accordance with their terms.

 

2.
