(i) | shares (the “Initial Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), |
(ii) | additional shares of Common Stock in an amount of up to 15% of the Initial Shares sold (together with the Initial Shares, the “Offered Shares”), |
(iii) | warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to 5% of the Offered Shares to be issued to Craft Capital Management LLC (the “Representative”), the representative of the underwriters in connection with the Offering (the “Representative’s Warrants”), and |
(iv) | the shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Representative’s Warrants (the “Representative’s Warrant Shares”). |
The Offered Shares, the Representative’s Warrants and the Representative’s Warrant Shares are hereby referred to as the “Securities”. 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 related prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issuance of the Securities.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of (i) the Company’s certificate of incorporation (as amended, the “Certificate of Incorporation”), (ii) the Company’s bylaws (as amended, the “Bylaws”), (iii) the Registration Statement and the prospectus which forms a part of a Registration Statement, including all exhibits filed therewith, (iv) the form of the Underwriting Agreement to be executed in connection with the Offering by and between the Company and the Representative (the “Underwriting Agreement”), and (v) the form of Representative’s Warrants, and we have also examined and relied upon minutes of meetings and/or resolutions of the board of directors of the Company as provided to us by the Company, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary for purposes of rendering the opinion hereinafter set forth.
In addition to the foregoing, we have relied as to matters of fact material to this opinion upon the oral and written representations made by the Company and its representatives. In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents, the legal competence of all signatories to such documents and that each signatory to such document has or will have sufficient legal capacity to execute such document. Other than our examination of the documents indicated above, we have made no other examination in connection with this opinion.
