Crescent Biopharma, Inc.c/o Walkers Corporate Limited190 Elgin AvenueGeorge TownGrand Cayman KY1-9008Cayman Islands

Dear Madams and Sirs

**CRESCENT BIOPHARMA, INC.** 

We have acted as Cayman Islands legal advisers to Crescent Biopharma, Inc. (the "**Company**"), and we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (including all supplements and amendments thereto, the "**Registration Statement**"), relating to the registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**Securities Act**"), of up to:

1.1,673,445 ordinary shares with a par value of US$0.001 per share in the capital of the Company ("**Ordinary Shares**") issuable under the Crescent Biopharma, Inc. 2025 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the "**2025 Plan**") (the "**2025 Plan Shares**"); and

2.333,453 Ordinary Shares issuable under the Crescent Biopharma, Inc. 2025 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as amended and restated, the "**ESPP**" and, together with the 2025 Plan, the "**Plans**") (the "**ESPP Shares**" and, together with the 2025 Plan Shares, the "**Shares**").

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the originals or copies of the documents listed in Schedule 1.

In giving this opinion we have relied upon the assumptions set out in Schedule 2, which we have not independently verified.

We are Cayman Islands Attorneys at Law and express no opinion as to any laws other than the laws of the Cayman Islands in force and as interpreted at the date of this opinion. We have not, for the purposes of this opinion, made any investigation of the laws, rules or regulations of any other jurisdiction.

Based upon the foregoing examinations and assumptions and upon such searches as we have conducted and having regard to legal considerations which we consider relevant, and under the laws of the Cayman Islands, we give the following opinions in relation to the matters set out below.

1. The Company is an exempted company registered by way of continuation with limited liability, validly existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and in good standing with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands (the "**Registrar**").

2. The Shares, as contemplated by the Registration Statement, have been duly authorised by all necessary corporate action of the Company and, upon the issue of the Shares (by the entry of the name of the registered owner thereof in the register of members of the Company confirming that such Shares have been issued credited as fully paid), delivery and payment therefore by the purchaser in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association (as defined in Schedule 1) and the Plans and in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement, the

------

**WALKERS**<br>

Shares will be validly created, legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable (meaning that no additional sums may be levied on the holder thereof by the Company).

We have relied upon the statements and representations of directors, officers and other representatives of the Company as to factual matters.

Our opinion as to the good standing of the Company is based solely upon receipt of the Certificate of Good Standing (as defined in Schedule 1) issued by the Registrar. The Company shall be deemed to be in good standing under Section 200A of the Companies Act (as amended) of the Cayman Islands (the "**Companies Act**") on the date of issue of the Certificate of Good Standing if all fees and penalties under the Companies Act have been paid and the Registrar has no knowledge that the Company is in default under the Companies Act.

This opinion is limited to the matters referred to herein and shall not be construed as extending to any other matter or document not referred to herein. This opinion is given solely for your benefit and the benefit of your legal advisers acting in that capacity in relation to this transaction and may not be relied upon by any other person, other than persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act, without our prior written consent.

![image_0.jpg](image_0.jpg)![image_0.jpg](image_0.jpg)This opinion shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands.

We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and further consent to all references to us in the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto.

Yours faithfully

/s/ Walkers
