Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to NeuroBo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with preparing and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (such registration statement as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Statement”), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the resale from time to time by selling stockholders of an aggregate of 3,243,875 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”). The Shares were issued to the Selling Stockholders (as defined in the Registration Statement) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 31, 2020, by and among the Company, ANA Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ANA”), Shelby Merger Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Shelby Merger Sub 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Akash Bakshi, solely in his capacity as representative of the securityholders of ANA.
For the purpose of rendering this opinion, we examined originals or copies of such documents as we deemed relevant. In conducting our examination, we assumed, without investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the correctness of all certificates, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted as copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies, and the accuracy and completeness of all records made available to us by the Company. In addition, in rendering this opinion, we have assumed that the Shares will be offered in the manner and on the terms identified or referred to in the Registration Statement and the accompanying prospectus, including all supplements and amendments thereto.
Our opinion is limited solely to matters set forth herein. The law covered by the opinions expressed herein is limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law. We are not rendering any opinion with respect to federal law, including federal securities laws, or state blue sky securities laws.
Based upon our examination of such documents and other matters as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that the Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
