(c) The Company’s Current Reports on Form 6-K, filed with the Commission on January  27, 2023, December  27, 2022, and November 3, 2022, respectively.

(d) The description of the Company’s Ordinary Shares contained in its registration statement on Form 8-A filed with the Commission on October 27, 2022 (File No. 001-41543), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.

All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained herein or in a document, all or a portion of which is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein, shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is 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.

Articles of Association of Selina Hospitality PLC

The Company’s Articles of Association provides that a director or former director of the Company or an associated company may be indemnified out of the Company’s assets against: (a) any liability incurred by that director in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the Company or an associated company; (b) any liability incurred by that director in connection with the activities of the Company or an associated company in its capacity as a trustee of an occupational pension scheme (as defined in section 253(6) of the Companies Act of 2006 of the United Kingdom (the “Companies Act”)); and (c) any other liability incurred by that director as an officer of the Company or an associated company. The article does not authorize any indemnity that would be prohibited or rendered void by any provision of the Companies Act or by any other provision of law. The Board may decide to purchase and maintain insurance, at the expense of the Company, for the benefit of any relevant director in respect of any relevant loss.

Insofar as indemnification of liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, executive officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing, the Company 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.

The Companies Act of 2006 of the United Kingdom

Generally, under the Companies Act, any provision by which the Company directly or indirectly provides an indemnity (to any extent) for a director of the Company or of an “associated company” (i.e., a company that is a parent, subsidiary or sister company of the Company) against any liability attaching to him or her in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company of which he or she is a director is (subject to certain exceptions specified under the Companies Act) void.

Indemnification Agreements and D&O Insurance

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with certain of its directors, executive officers, and other employees that require the Company to, among other things, indemnify such individuals against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, executive officers, or employees. In addition, the Company maintains directors’ and officers’ insurance to insure such persons against certain liabilities.

The above discussion of the Company’s Articles of Association, the Companies Act, and Indemnification Agreements is not intended to be exhaustive and is respectively qualified in its entirely by such Articles of Association, Indemnification Agreements, and applicable laws.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

See the Index to Exhibits attached hereto.

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:

(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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% 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 (a)(i) and (a)(ii) 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 herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

(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 Section 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 herein, 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.

1.

We have advised Selina Hospitality PLC, a public limited company incorporated in England and Wales (the “Company”) in connection with the preparation and filing of a registration statement on Form S-8 (such registration statement, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, the “Registration Statement”) filed with the United Stated Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

2.

As set out in the Registration Statement, it is proposed that the Company shall register (i) 5,487,425 ordinary shares, nominal value $0.005064 (to six decimal places) per share (the “Shares”), of the Company reserved for issuance under the Selina Hospitality PLC Amended and Restated 2018 Global Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), (ii) 11,114,553 Shares of the Company reserved for issuance under the Selina Hospitality PLC 2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Omnibus Plan”) and (iii) 2,907,970 Shares of the Company reserved for issuance under the Selina Hospitality PLC 2022 Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “2022 ESPP” and, together with the 2018 Plan, and 2022 Omnibus Plan, the “Plans” and each a “Plan”).

 

3.

For the purpose of this opinion, we have examined only the documents listed in paragraphs 1 to 7 (inclusive) of Schedule 1 to this opinion (each a “Document” and together the “Documents”), and undertaken only the searches and enquiries listed in paragraphs 8 to 10 (inclusive) of Schedule 1 to this opinion. We have assumed that nothing has occurred since such Documents have been reviewed and searches and enquiries have been undertaken that would affect this opinion.

This opinion is limited to English law as applied by the English courts and is given on the basis that this opinion will be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.

Assumptions

 

5.

For the purpose of this opinion we have assumed, without investigation, that:

 

  a.

all original Documents and the signatures and seals thereon are genuine;

 

  b.

all copy Documents that we have examined conform to the original Documents and that each of originals was duly executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto;

 

  c.

the Documents accurately record the whole of the terms agreed between the parties thereto relevant to this opinion, no amendment, alteration, variation or modification has been or will be made to any of the respective forms of the Documents as examined by us and no obligation of any party thereto has been waived or breached;

 

  d.

as at the date of execution of each Document, each party to such document was duly organised and existing under the laws of its relevant jurisdiction and had full power and necessary capacity and authorisation to enter into, be bound by and perform its obligations under such Document and was not subject to any bankruptcy, liquidation, moratorium or other insolvency related process in England & Wales or in any other relevant jurisdiction;

 

  e.

factual matters stated in the Documents are accurate;

 

  f.

there are no facts or circumstances in existence and no events have occurred which would render the Plans void or voidable or repudiated or frustrated or capable of rescission by reason of fraud or misrepresentation on the part of any of the parties to it, or which has or has been alleged to have terminated or resulted in the termination or dissolution of the Company;

 

  g.

insofar as any Document was to be executed and delivered by any party incorporated or domiciled in any jurisdiction outside England, such execution or delivery and the assumption of the obligations thereunder by such party was not illegal or ineffective by virtue of the memorandum and articles of association or constitutional documents of such party or the law of that jurisdiction;

 

  h.

a meeting of the Company’s board of directors (or a duly authorised committee thereof) has been, or will be, duly convened and held at which it was, or will be, resolved to allot and issue the Shares (the “Corporate Approval”);

 

  i.

all consents, approvals, notices, filings and registrations that are necessary under any applicable laws or regulations (other than laws or regulations of the United Kingdom) in order to permit the performance of the actions to be carried out pursuant to the Corporate Approval have been or will be duly obtained;

 

  j.

all Shares will be allotted in accordance with the Articles and the Plans;

 

  k.

the Shares issued in accordance with the Corporate Approval, memorandum and articles of association of the Company (the “Articles”) and the Plans and the issue price per Share is not less than the nominal value of each Share;

 

  l.

any limits on the authority of the Company to allot and issue the Shares pursuant to the Corporate Approval or Articles will not be exceeded by the issuance of the Shares pursuant to the Plans;

 

  m.

the information held at the Companies Registry for England and Wales provided to us pursuant to the Online Company Search referred to in Schedule 1 below was complete, true and accurate in all respects, disclosed all information which is material for the purposes of this opinion, and contained at the time the information was provided to us all the information filed with the Companies Registry as at that time in respect of the entities against which the search was conducted and there has been no change in this position since the searches and enquiries were made;

 

2


  n.

the Company has not, since the date of the Online Company Search, passed a voluntary winding-up resolution or entered into any composition or arrangement with its creditors, no petition has been presented or order made by a court for the winding-up, dissolution, bankruptcy or administration of the Company and no liquidator, administrative receiver, administrator, trustee or similar officer has been appointed in relation to the Company or any of their respective assets or revenues; and

 

  o.

that at all times the affairs of the Company have been conducted strictly within the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 (the “Companies Act”) and all other applicable law.

Opinion

 

6.

On the basis of, and subject to, the foregoing and the reservations set out below, and subject to any matters not disclosed to us, we are of the opinion that, if, as and when the Shares have been issued and sold (and the consideration therefor received) pursuant to the Plans and the individual issuances, grants or awards thereunder, and in accordance with the Registration Statement, such Shares will be duly authorised, legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Qualifications and Reservations

 

7.

This opinion is subject to the following qualifications and reservations:

  b.

it should be noted that searches carried out to obtain information filed at the Companies Registry are not capable of revealing conclusively whether or not certain events have occurred and in particular:

a winding up-or administration petition or order has been presented;

 

  2.

a receiver has been appointed;

 

  3.

a company voluntary arrangement has been proposed or approved; or

 

  4.

any other insolvency proceedings have been commenced;

 

  ii.

notice of the events described in sub-paragraph 6(b)(i) above may not have been filed at the Companies Registry immediately;

 

  iii.

information delivered to the Companies Registry for registration may not have been on the relevant file at the time the searches were made; and

 

  iv.

the position may have changed since the time and date the search was made,

 

  c.

the opinion set out herein is subject to:

 

  i.

any limitations arising from applicable laws relating to insolvency, bankruptcy, administration, reorganisation, liquidation, moratoria, schemes or analogous circumstances; and

 

  ii.

an English court exercising its discretion under section 426 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (co-operation between courts exercising jurisdiction in relation to insolvency) to assist the courts having the corresponding jurisdiction in any part of the United Kingdom or any relevant country or territory;

 

3


  d.
