Dear Sirs/Madams,

 

Olink Holding AB (publ) – Registration Statement on Form S-8 – Exhibit 5.1

 

We, Swedish law firm Baker & McKenzie Advokatbyrå KB, have acted as Swedish legal counsel to Olink Holding AB (publ), Swedish Reg. No. 559189-7755 (the “Company”), a public limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Sweden, in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) as filed publicly with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on the date hereof under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). For the purposes of this letter, the common shares in the capital of the Company, each having a quota value of approx. SEK 2.431906613, are referred to as “Common Shares”.

 

At the annual general meeting held on 19 April 2024 (the “AGM”) the shareholders of the Company adopted one long-term incentive program for the management and key personnel (including employees and consultants) (“LTI II 2024”). Under LTI II 2024, an aggregate of up to 849,195 warrants of series II 2024 have been issued to the Company to secure delivery of either Common Shares, American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) or warrants of series II 2024 to participants in LTI II 2024 upon vesting of the participants’ restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Each warrant of series II 2024 entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) Common Share in the Company.

 

The renumeration committee of the Company may grant Options or RSUs to participants, on one or several occasions, between the annual general meeting 2024 and the annual general meeting 2025. To ensure the delivery of securities underlying the RSUs in accordance with LTI II 2024 the AGM resolved to issue not more than 849,195 warrants of series II 2024 (Sw. teckningsoptioner) (the “2024 Warrants”), whereby the Company’s share capital could be increased by not more than approximately SEK 2,065,162.93590 upon exercise of 2024 Warrants for subscription and registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket) (the “SCRO”) of Common Shares. All 849,195 2024 Warrants shall be subscribed for by the Company (which in accordance with the AGM’s resolution shall be entitled to transfer the 2024 Warrants to participants or a financial intermediary in connection with vesting of the RSUs) and will be registered with the SCRO. LTI II 2024 contains an omnibus amended and restated incentive plan that was presented at the AGM (the “Updated Omnibus Incentive Plan”), applicable to LTI II 2024 participants.

4.Opinions

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set out below, we are of the opinion that: under the laws of Sweden, the Additional Common Shares to be issued upon exercise of the 2024 Warrants in accordance with the above will, when (i) the Company has subscribed for and the Board has properly allotted the 2024 Warrants, (ii) the Company has registered the 2024 Warrants with the SCRO, (iii) the Company has taken all necessary actions to issue the Additional Common Shares in compliance with the then applicable provisions of the Articles of Association, the laws of Sweden and the terms of LTI II 2024, (iv) the Additional Common Shares have been properly subscribed for on subscription lists by the holder of 2024 Warrants, (v) the Additional Common Shares have been properly allotted by the Board, and (vi) the Company has received in full all amounts payable under LTI II 2024 in respect of the Additional Common Shares, be validly issued, fully paid for and non-assessable.

 

5.Qualifications

 

The qualifications to which this Opinion is subject are as follows:

 

(a)We express no opinion on matters of fact.

 

(b)We express no opinion as to the exact interpretation of any particular wording in the Corporate Documents by any court.

 

(c)Provisions in the Corporate Documents providing that certain facts, determinations or calculations will be conclusive and binding (or prima facie evidence) may not be effective if they are incorrect and such provisions will not necessarily prevent judicial inquiry into the merits of such facts, determinations or calculations.

 

(d)In rendering this Opinion we have relied on certain matters of information obtained from the Company and other sources reasonably believed by us to be credible.

 

(e)This Opinion is given only with respect to the laws of the Kingdom of Sweden as in force today and as such laws are currently applied by Swedish courts and we express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction nor have we made any investigations as to any law other than the laws of the Kingdom of Sweden.

 

4

 

 

 

 

(f)This Opinion is subject to any limitations resulting from bankruptcy, insolvency liquidation, mandatory composition with creditors, reconstruction, reorganization, limitation, moratorium and other laws of general application regarding or affecting the rights of creditors generally and general equitable principles (including but not limited to Regulation (EU) 2015/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2015 on Insolvency Proceeding).

 

(g)Files in respect of the Company maintained by the SCRO may not be up to date and documents required to be filed with the SCRO may not be registered immediately or may not be available for immediate inspection. Information relating to insolvency and liquidation can take a few days before being properly recorded in the Register and made available online.

 

(h)The Companies Act contains provisions stipulating that an act, resolution or decision may be set aside or amended for providing undue advantage to a shareholder or another person to the disadvantage of the company or another shareholder.

 

(i)Pursuant to the Swedish Contracts Act (Lag (1915:218) om avtal och andra rättshandlingar på förmögenhetsrättens område) and general equitable principles of the law of contract and obligations, a contract term may be modified or set aside if it is adjudged to be unreasonable.

 

(j)The term ‘enforceable’, ‘valid’, ‘binding’ and ‘effective’ when used herein means that the relevant obligation is of a type which Swedish courts would generally uphold; it does not mean that such an obligation will necessarily be enforced in all respects in accordance with its terms; in particular, the availability in Swedish courts of certain remedies (such as injunction and specific performance) may be restricted under the laws of Sweden, and are at the discretion of the courts.

 

(k)A power of attorney giving voting rights to a party at shareholders’ meeting of a Swedish company is without renewal valid only for one year, unless the relevant Swedish company is a CSD company (avstämningsbolag) in respect of which the power of attorney may provide for a longer validity period, however not exceeding five years from the date of issuance.

 

(l)The concept of “trust” is not a legally recognised concept pursuant to Swedish law and thus a Swedish party may not be able to fulfil an obligation to hold assets on “trust” and it may not be possible to hold assets on trust in Sweden.

 

(m)the Registration Statement, to be filed publicly with the SEC on the date hereof under the Securities Act, and this Opinion are expressed in the English language whilst addressing and explaining institutions and concepts of the laws of the Kingdom of Sweden; and such institutions and concepts may be reflected in or described by the English language only imperfectly; and we express no opinion on how the courts of the Kingdom of Sweden would construe contractual language expressed in English where the Registration Statement would be subject to the laws of the Kingdom of Sweden. However, we believe that such courts would pay attention to the meaning and import in the laws of any pertinent jurisdiction in which the English language is normally or habitually employed of the expressions used in construing what the parties intended to put in writing for the purposes of the laws of Sweden.

 

5

(2) Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(c) and Rule 457(h) promulgated under the Securities Act. The offering price per share and the aggregate offering price are calculated using the average of the $23.35 (high) and $22.66 (low) prices of the Registrant’s Common Shares as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market on April 16, 2024, which date is within five business days prior to filing this Registration Statement.
