American
Depositary Shares
evidenced
by American Depositary Receipts
for
deposited ordinary shares of
Actions
Semiconductor Co. Ltd.
Dear
Sirs:
Referring
to the Registration Statement on Form F-6 relating to the above-entitled
American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") evidenced by American Depositary Receipts
("ADRs") each ADS representing ten ordinary shares of Actions Semiconductor
Co.
Ltd. (the "Company"), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the
Cayman
Islands. Capitalized terms used herein that are not herein defined shall
have
the meanings assigned to them in the Deposit Agreement (the “Deposit Agreement”)
appearing, or incorporated by reference, in Exhibit (a) to the Registration
Statement.
In
rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have assumed that (i) the Deposit
Agreement will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company
and the Depositary and will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation
of
the Company enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, (ii) the
relevant Deposited Securities will have been duly deposited with a Custodian
under and in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, (iii)
that the
choice of New York law contained in the Deposit Agreement is legal and
valid
under the laws of the Cayman Islands and the People’s Republic of China and (iv)
that insofar as any obligation under the Deposit Agreement is to be performed
in, or by a party organized under the laws of, any jurisdiction outside
of the
United States of America, its performance will not be illegal or ineffective
in
any jurisdiction by virtue of the law of that jurisdiction.
We
are of
the opinion that the ADSs covered by the Registration Statement, when issued
in
accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement, will, when sold, be
legally
issued and will entitle the holders thereof to the rights specified in
the
Deposit Agreement and the ADRs.
The
foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United States and
the
laws of the State of New York, and we are expressing no opinion as to the
effect
of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
We
hereby
consent to the use of this opinion as Exhibit d of the above-mentioned
Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not admit thereby
that we
are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section
7 of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
