Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have requested the opinion of this firm as to certain matters in connection with the offer and sale (the “Offering”) of Cullman Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”). We have reviewed the Company’s Charter, Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (the “Form S-1”), as well as applicable statutes and regulations governing the Company and the offer and sale of the Common Stock.
We are of the opinion that upon the declaration of effectiveness of the Form S-1, the Common Stock, when sold pursuant to the Company’s prospectus and the Cullman Savings Bank Plan of Reorganization from a Mutual Savings Bank to a Mutual Holding Company and Stock Issuance Plan, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
This Opinion has been prepared in connection with the Form S-1. We hereby consent to our firm being referenced under the caption “Legal and Tax Matters,” and for inclusion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form S-1.
