EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This registration statement (this “Registration Statement”) is filed by HUHUTECH International Group Inc. (the “Registrant”) to register securities issuable pursuant to the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, “the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan”). The securities registered hereby consist of 2,000,000 ordinary shares, US$0.0000025 par value per share of the Registrant, which represent the number of ordinary shares that were authorized under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this Registration Statement also covers an indeterminate number of additional shares which may be offered and issued to prevent dilution from share splits, share dividends or similar transactions as provided in the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. Any ordinary shares covered by an award granted under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (or portion of an award) that terminates, expires, lapses or repurchased for any reason will be deemed not to have been issued for purposes of determining the maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares that may be issued under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan.

PART II

 

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

 

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

 

The following documents, and all documents we subsequently file pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and shall be deemed to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents:

 

(1)

our prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act with the Commission on October 22, 2024, which contains audited financial statements for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2023;

 

(2)

our Reports on Form 6-K, filed with the Commission on October 23, 2024, November 7, 2024, November 21, 2024, and December 6, 2024;

 

(3)

The description of our ordinary shares incorporated by reference in our registration statement on Form 8-A, as amended (File No. 001-42376) filed with the Commission on October 21, 2024, including any amendment and report subsequently filed for the purpose of updating that description; and

 

(4)

all reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the report referred to in (1) above.

Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.

 

Item 4. Description of Securities.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

 

Not applicable.

 

 

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.

 

Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles provide that that we shall indemnify our directors (including our alternate directors) and officers, and their personal representatives, against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such persons, other than by reason of such person’s dishonesty, wilful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of our company’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such director or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning our company or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

 

In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers that provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have 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.

 

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 8. Exhibits.

 

Reference is hereby made to the Exhibit Index, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

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:

 

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

 

(b) 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

 

(c) 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)(a) and (1)(b) above 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 the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 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 and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, 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.

HUHUTECH International Group Inc. (the Company)

 

We have acted as Cayman Islands legal advisers to the Company in connection with the Company's registration statement on Form S-8 filed on 9 December 2024 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to register securities issuable pursuant to the Company's 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan), namely 2,000,000 Ordinary Shares in the Company of par value US$0.0000025 each and an indeterminate number of additional Ordinary Shares to prevent dilution from share splits, share dividends or similar transactions (collectively, the Shares) (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).

For the purposes of this opinion letter, we have examined a copy of each of the following documents:

 

(a)

2.

Assumptions

 

The following 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. In giving these opinions, we have relied upon the following assumptions, which we have not independently verified:

 

2.1

copies of documents or drafts of documents provided to us are true and complete copies of, or in the final forms of, the originals;

 

 

Mourant Ozannes (Cayman) LLP is registered as a limited liability partnership in the Cayman Islands with registration number 601078

 

mourant.com

 

 

2.2

where a document has been examined by us in draft form, it will be or has been executed and/or filed in the form of the draft, and where a number of drafts of a document have been examined by us all changes thereto have been marked or otherwise drawn to our attention;

 

2.3

the accuracy and completeness of all factual representations made in the documents reviewed by us;

 

2.4

the genuineness of all signatures and seals;

 

2.5

the Resolutions were duly passed, are in full force and effect and have not been amended, revoked or superseded;

 

2.6

there is nothing under any law (other than the laws of the Cayman Islands) which would or might affect the opinions set out below;

 

2.7

the directors of the Company have not exceeded any applicable allotment authority conferred on the directors by the shareholders;

 

2.8

upon issue of the Shares, the Company will receive in full the consideration for which the Company agreed to issue the Shares, which shall be equal to at least the par value thereof;

 

2.9

the validity and binding effect under the laws of the United States of America of the Registration Statement and that the Registration Statement has been duly filed with the Commission;

 

2.10

each director of the Company (and any alternate director) has disclosed to each other director any interest of that director (or alternate director) in the transactions contemplated by the Registration Statement in accordance with the M&A; and

 

2.11

the Company Records were, when reviewed by us, and remain at the date of this opinion accurate and complete.

 

3.

Opinion

 

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

 

3.1

The Company is incorporated under the Companies Act (as amended) of the Cayman Islands (the Companies Act), validly exists under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company.

 

3.2

The Certificate of Good Standing is evidence that the Company is in good standing on the date thereof. Under Cayman Islands law, good standing means that the Company has paid all fees and penalties under the Companies Act and is not, to the Registrar's knowledge, in default under the Companies Act.

 

3.3

Based solely on our review of the M&A, the authorised share capital of the Company is US$50,000.00 divided into 20,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares of par value US$0.0000025 each.

 

3.4

The Shares have been duly authorised and when allotted, issued and paid for in accordance with the Plan and the Resolutions, the Shares will be legally issued and allotted, 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).

 

 

4.

Qualifications

 

Except as specifically stated herein, we make no comment with respect to any representations and warranties which may be made by or with respect to the Company in any of the documents or instruments cited in this opinion or otherwise with respect to the commercial terms of the transactions the subject of this opinion.

 

In this opinion the phrase non-assessable means, with respect to shares in the Company, that a member shall not, solely by virtue of its status as a member, be liable for additional assessments or calls on the shares by the Company or its creditors (except in exceptional circumstances and subject to the M&A, 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).

 

5.

Consent

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our name in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

 

Yours faithfully
