Re: | Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-230289); 20,421,669 shares of Class A common stock |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Okta, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the resale from time to time by the selling stockholders named in the Prospectus Supplement (as defined below) of 20,421,669 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”). The resale of the Shares is being registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 14, 2019 (Registration No. 333-230289) (the “Registration Statement”), a base prospectus dated March 14, 2019 included in the Registration Statement at the time it originally became effective (the “Base Prospectus”), and a prospectus supplement dated May 10, 2021 filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act (the “Prospectus Supplement,” and together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”).
This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Shares.
As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. We are opining herein as to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), and we express no opinion with respect to any other laws.
