Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Re: Davis Commodities Limited (the “Company”)

 

We have acted as special Cayman Islands legal counsel to the Company in connection with the Company’s filing of a prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-286042), as amended (the “Registration Statement”), and supplements to the base prospectus contained therein, which was filed with and declared effective by the Commission on 31 March 2025 (the “Base Prospectus”). The Prospectus Supplement relates to the offer and sale of an indeterminate number of the Company’s class A ordinary shares of par value US$0.000000430108 each (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) having an aggregate offering price of up to US$17,000,000 (the “Offering”). The Offering is being conducted pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the sales agreement dated 5 January 2026 between the Company and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partner (the “Sales Agreement”). For purposes of this opinion, the terms “Registration Statement”, “Base Prospectus” and “Prospectus Supplement” do not include any other document or agreement, whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule.

(k)the issuance and sale of the Class A Ordinary Shares by the Company, and the Company's incurrence and performance of its obligations thereunder or in respect thereof (including, without limitation, its obligations under any related agreement, indenture or supplement thereto) in accordance with the terms thereof, will not violate the Constitutional Documents nor any applicable law, regulation, order or decree in the Cayman Islands;

3.QUALIFICATIONS

 

(a)We express no opinion with respect to the issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares to any provision of the Transaction Documents that purports to obligate the Company to issue Class A Ordinary Shares following the commencement of a winding up or liquidation of the Company.

 

(b)When used herein, the term "non-assessable" means that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders of Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the issue thereof.

 

(c)Under Cayman Islands law, the register of members (shareholders) is prima facie evidence of title to shares and this register would not record a third party interest in such shares. However, there are certain limited circumstances where an application may be made to a Cayman Islands court for a determination on whether the register of members reflects the correct legal position. Further, the Cayman Islands court has the power to order that the register of members maintained by a company should be rectified where it considers that the register of members does not reflect the correct legal position. As far as we are aware, such applications are rarely made in the Cayman Islands and there are no circumstances or matters of fact known to us on the date of this opinion letter which would properly form the basis for an application for an order for rectification of the register of members of the Company, but if such an application were made in respect of the Class A Ordinary Shares, then the validity of such shares may be subject to re-examination by a Cayman Islands court.

 

(d)We have made no investigation of and express no opinion in relation to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Cayman Islands.

 

(e)This opinion is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and is limited to and is given on the basis of the current law and practice in the Cayman Islands.

 

(f)This opinion is issued solely for the purposes of the filing of the Prospectus Supplement and the issuance of the Class A Ordinary Shares by the Company as described in the Prospectus Supplement and is not to be relied upon in respect of any other matter.

4.OPINIONS

 

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

 

(a)The Company is duly incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and, based on the Certificate of Good Standing, is in good standing. Pursuant to the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands (the “Act”), a company is deemed to be in good standing if all fees and penalties under the Act have been paid and the Registrar of Companies has no knowledge that the Company is in default under the Act.

 

(b)When issued and paid for in accordance with the Transaction Documents and recorded in the register of members of the Company in accordance with the Constitutional Documents, the Class A Ordinary Shares will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable (which term when used herein means that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue thereof).

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the references to our firm under the headings “Legal Matters” and “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities” in the Prospectus Supplement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are experts within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act or that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

 

 

Yours faithfully,
