RE:Registration on Form S-8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as Israeli counsel to Intec PharmaLtd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”), in connection with its filing of a registration statement on Form S-8 on or about February 25, 2016 (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the registration of 1,516,098 of the Company’s ordinary shares, no par value (the “Shares”), which may be issued under the Company’s 2005 Share Option Plan and 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan” and the “2015 Plan” respectively, and together the “Plans”).
In our capacity as counsel to the Company, we have examined originals or copies, satisfactory to us, of the Company’s (i) Amended and Restated Articles of Association, (ii) the Plans and (iii) resolutions of the Company’s audit committee, compensation committee, board of directors and shareholders. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies or facsimiles. As to any facts material to such opinion, to the extent that we did not independently establish relevant facts, we have relied on certificates of public officials and certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company. We are admitted to practice law in the State of Israel and the opinion expressed herein is expressly limited to the laws of the State of Israel.
On the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares being registered pursuant to the Registration Statement, when issued and paid for in accordance with the Plans, pursuant to agreements with respect to the Plans and, as the case may be, pursuant to the terms of the awards that were granted or may be granted under the Plans, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
| Very truly yours, | |
