Business Overview
We are a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of thin film electrode technology for continuous electroencephalogram (“cEEG”) and stereoelectrocencephalography (“sEEG”) recording, spinal cord stimulation, brain stimulation, drug delivery and ablation solutions for patients suffering from epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, essential tremors, chronic pain due to failed back surgeries and other related neurological disorders. We are also developing the capability to use our sEEG electrode technology to deliver drugs or gene therapy while being able to record brain activity before, during, and after delivery. Additionally, we are investigating the potential applications of our technology associated with artificial intelligence. Members of our management team have held senior leadership positions at a number of medical technology and biopharmaceutical companies, including Boston Scientific, St. Jude Medical, Stryker Instruments, C.R. Bard, A-Med Systems, Nuwellis, Inc., formerly known as Sunshine Heart, Empi, Don-Joy and PMT.
We are developing our cortical sheet and depth electrode technology to provide solutions for diagnosis through cEEG recording and sEEG recording and treatment through spinal cord stimulation, brain stimulation and ablation, all in one product. A cEEG is a continuous recording of the electrical activity of the brain that identifies the location of irregular brain activity, which information is required for proper treatment. cEEG recording involves an invasive surgical procedure, referred to as a craniotomy. sEEG involves a less invasive procedure whereby doctors place electrodes in targeted brain areas by drilling small holes through the skull. Both methods of seizure diagnosis are used to identify areas of the brain where epileptic seizures originate in order to precisely locate the seizure source for therapeutic treatment if possible.
Deep Brain Stimulation
Deep brain stimulation (“DBS”) therapies involve activating or inhibiting the brain with electricity that can be given directly by electrodes on the surface or implanted deeper in the brain via depth electrodes. Introduced in 1987, this procedure involves implanting a power source referred to as a neurostimulator, which sends electrical impulses through implanted depth electrodes, to specific targets in the brain for the treatment of disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia, and chronic pain. Alzheimer’s is another indication evaluating the effects of DBS. Unlike ablative technologies, the effects of DBS are reversible.
RF Ablation
Radio Frequency (“RF”) ablation is a procedure that uses radiofrequency under the electrode contacts that is directed to the site of the brain tissue that is targeted for removal. The process involves delivering energy to the contacts, thereby heating them and destroying the brain tissue. The ablation does not remove the tissue. Rather, it is left in place and typically scar tissue forms in the place where the ablation occurs. This procedure is also known as brain lesioning as it causes irreversible lesions. In August 2021, the Company announced a strategic partnership with RBC Medical Innovations to develop a RF ablation generator. The following month, our OneRF ablation system was tested by representatives from Emory University in Atlanta Georgia in an animal study. During the second fiscal quarter of 2023, we successfully completed summative usability testing for OneRF with 15 neurosurgeons, and completed execution of internal device verification/validation protocols for the final OneRF ablation system. During the third fiscal quarter of 2024, the OneRF ablation system was used to successfully complete five ablations in a human patient.

Failed Back Surgery Syndrome
Failed back surgery syndrome (“FBSS”) is a condition that produces chronic lower back/leg pain due to one or more failed back surgeries. Typically, it is related to patients that suffer with pain after surgery of the lumbar spine for degenerative disc disease. Re-operations are usually not recommended for these patients due to low success rates. These patients experience greater levels of pain, a lower quality of life, varying levels of disability and higher rate of unemployment. Spinal cord stimulation works by placing an electrodes(s) in a targeted area of the spine and then connected to an implantable pulse generator that sends electrical stimulation to the electrode to block the pain signals from reaching the brain. During the second fiscal quarter of 2023, we completed an initial animal implant of novel thin film paddle leads for spinal cord stimulation (“SCS”). The devices are intended for the treatment of patients with chronic back pain due to multiple failed back surgery syndrome, intractable low back, and leg pain. A percutaneous (through a needle) delivery system for paddle leads is also under development and has been successfully bench-tested. According to a 2020 Market Insights report, the total global addressable market for spinal cord stimulation is estimated to be greater than $3 billion.
Regulatory Developments
Our cortical sheet electrode and depth electrode technology have been tested over the years by both WARF, the owners of our licensed patents, and Mayo Clinic located in Rochester, Minnesota, in both pre-clinical models as well as through an institutional review board (“IRB”) approval at Mayo Clinic for clinical research. Regarding our ablation electrode, the Cleveland Clinic has performed testing in bench top models and pre-clinical (or animal testing) modes. These pre-clinical tests have demonstrated that the technology is capable of recording, ablation and acute stimulation.
We received 510(k) U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance for our Evo cortical technology in November 2019 for recording, monitoring, and stimulating brain tissue for up to 30 days, in September 2021 we received FDA clearance to market our Evo® sEEG electrode technology for temporary (less than 24 hours) use with recording, monitoring, and stimulation equipment for the recording, monitoring, and stimulation of electrical signals at the subsurface level of the brain, and in October 2022 we received FDA clearance to market our Evo sEEG electrode technology for temporary (less than 30 days) use with recording, monitoring, and stimulation equipment for the recording, monitoring, and stimulation of electrical signals at the subsurface level of the brain.
We submitted a 510(k) application to the FDA for the OneRF ablation system in June 2023 and responded to FDA comments on November 6, 2023. On December 6, 2023, we received 510(k) FDA clearance to market the OneRF ablation system for creation of radiofrequency lesion in nervous tissue for functional neurosurgical procedures. In March 2024, we announced a limited commercial launch of our OneRF ablation system. We do not have a distribution partner for the OneRF ablation system at this time, and are continuing to pursue potential strategic partnerships for this product. We intend to develop our Evo sEEG electrode technology for drug delivery applications in the next 12 months. This device is intended to deliver neurological drugs or gene therapy that are FDA approved or that are currently planned for clinical trials or in development to allow for monitoring, recording and stimulation and drug delivery for less than 30 days. In addition to having the capability of delivering a drug through the center lumen, it will also be able to record brain activity before, during, and after drug delivery. We believe that the global diagnostic electrode addressable market is over $100 million.
Recent Developments
Security Purchase Agreement
On August 1, 2024, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company, in the Private Placement, agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of (i) 2,944,446 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,208,338 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.90 per unit, consisting of one Share and a PIPE Warrant to purchase 0.75 shares of Common Stock, resulting in total gross proceeds of approximately $2.65 million before deducting estimated expenses. The Private Placement closed on August 2, 2024.
2
In connection with the Private Placement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the PIPE Warrants. The Company has agreed to file such registration statement within 30 days of the closing of the Private Placement.
Debt Facility Agreement
On August 2, 2024, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Debt Facility Agreement”) with Growth Opportunity Funding, LLC, as the lender (the “Lender”), which provides for a delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $3.0 million (the “Debt Facility”). The Company is permitted to borrow loans under the Debt Facility from time to time (collectively, the “Loans”), for general corporate purposes and subject to certain specified conditions, until the earliest of: (i) November 30, 2024, (ii) the occurrence of any monetization or change in control, or (iii) at the Lender’s option, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the Debt Facility Agreement. The Loan(s), upon issuance, will be secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Debt Facility Agreement, and will be subject to covenants.
The Debt Facility matures on February 2, 2026. The outstanding principal amount of any outstanding Loans will bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable monthly in arrears and at the maturity date. As of the closing date of the Debt Facility Agreement, no amounts were drawn by the Company thereunder.
The Company will pay a one-time standby facility fee of $125,000 and on August 2, 2024 the Company issued 100,000 Lender Warrants to Lender to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at exercise price of $0.66 per share. The warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on August 2, 2029. Lastly, a cash draw-fee of $50,000 is payable and a warrant draw-fee consisting of the issuance of an additional 50,000 warrants to the Lender is required upon each additional funding tranche of $500,000 under the Debt Facility, for an aggregate potential issuance of 300,000 additional Lender Warrants. The Lender Warrants issuable upon each future funding date will have an exercise price of $0.66 per share and will have a five year term.
Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Notification
On July 11, 2024, we received a letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq notifying that because the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock was below $1.00 per share for the prior 30 consecutive business days, the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq, as set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).
In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from July 11, 2024, or until January 7, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time before January 7, 2025, the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days (which number days may be extended by Nasdaq), Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and the matter would be resolved.

On August 1, 2024, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with the Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company, in the Private Placement, agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of (i) 2,944,446 Shares, and (ii) PIPE Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,208,338 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.90 per unit, consisting of one Share and a Warrant to purchase 0.75 shares of Common Stock, resulting in total gross proceeds of approximately $2.65 million before deducting estimated expenses. The Private Placement closed on August 2, 2024.
In connection with the Private Placement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the Shares and shares underlying the PIPE Warrants. The Company has agreed to file such registration statement within 30 days of the closing of the Private Placement. In addition, on August 2, 2024, we entered into a loan and security agreement with Growth Opportunity Funding, LLC, as the lender (the “Lender”), which provides for a delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $3.0 million. In connection with this loan and security agreement, the Company agreed to issue up to 400,000 warrants to the Lender.
To our knowledge, other than Paul R. Buckman and Growth Opportunity Funding, LLC (as described in this section below), within the past three years, no Selling Stockholder has held a position as an officer or a director of ours, nor had any other material relationship of any kind with us or any of our affiliates.
A Selling Stockholder who is an affiliate of a broker-dealer and any participating broker-dealer is deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any commissions or discounts given to any such Selling Stockholder or broker-dealer may be regarded as underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. To our knowledge, the Selling Stockholder is not an affiliate of a broker-dealer and there are no participating broker-dealers.
The term “Selling Stockholder” also includes any transferees, pledgees, donees, or other successors in interest to the Selling Stockholder named in the table below.
The following table sets forth the number of shares of Common Stock (i) known to us to be beneficially owned by each of the Selling Stockholders as prior to this offering (ii) being offered hereby by each of the Selling Stockholders and (iii) beneficially owned by each of the Selling Stockholders after giving effect to the sale by a Selling Stockholder of all of its Offered Securities. The following table also sets forth the percentage of Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the Selling Stockholders before giving effect to the sale by a Selling Stockholder of all Common Stock under this prospectus, based on 30,811,880 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 29, 2024. For purposes of the table below, we have assumed, upon termination of this offering, none of the Common Stock offered pursuant to this prospectus will be beneficially owned by any of the Selling Stockholders, and we have further assumed that a Selling Stockholder will not acquire beneficial ownership of any additional securities during the offering.
The Warrants are exercisable beginning on the date of issuance and will expire on the third anniversary of such date. Under the terms of the Warrants, a Selling Stockholder may not exercise the Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such Selling Stockholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of ordinary shares which would exceed 4.99%, 9.99%, as applicable, as such percentage ownership is calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the SEC, of our then outstanding Common Stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the fourth column does not reflect this limitation.
The Selling Stockholders are not making any representation that any shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus will be offered for sale. Because we do not know how long each of the Selling Stockholders will hold the Warrants, whether any will exercise the Warrants and, upon such exercise, how long each such Selling Stockholders will hold the shares of Common Stock before selling them, and because each of the Selling Stockholders may dispose of all, none or some portion of its securities, no estimate can be given as to the number of securities that will be beneficially owned by a Selling Stockholder upon completion of this offering. In addition, each Selling Stockholder may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of its securities in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which the information in the table is presented.

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of securities might be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by such broker-dealers and any profit on the resale of the securities sold by them while acting as principals might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.
To our knowledge, the Selling Stockholders have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of the securities covered by this prospectus. At any time a particular offer of the securities covered by this prospectus is made, a revised prospectus or prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of securities covered by this prospectus being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Delaware General Corporation Law
We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are, or are threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit; provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred.
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Our certificate of incorporation provides for the indemnification of our directors to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. Our amended and restated bylaws provide for the indemnification of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except for liability for any:
| ● | transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit; |
| ● | act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
II-1
| ● | unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or |
| ● | breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders. |
Our certificate of incorporation includes such a provision. Under our bylaws, expenses incurred by any officer or director in defending any such action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition shall be paid by us upon delivery to it of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by us, as long as such undertaking remains required by the DGCL.
Section 174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or dissented at the time may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.

As permitted by the DGCL, we have entered into indemnity agreements with each of our directors and executive officers, that require us to indemnify such persons against any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), witness fees, damages, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts incurred (including expenses of a derivative action) in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether actual or threatened, to which any such person may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, an officer or an employee of the Registrant or any of its affiliated enterprises, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The indemnification agreements also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder.
Insurance Policy
We have an insurance policy in place that covers our officers and directors with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise.
The foregoing summaries are not intended to be exhaustive and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the statute, the company’s certificate of incorporation and the agreements referred to above and are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.

Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
| (i) | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
| (ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Table” table in the effective registration statement; and |
| (iii) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; |
provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement or are contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
| (i) | Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and |
II-4
| (ii) | Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date. |
(5) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-1
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with preparing and filing with the U.S. 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 (the “Registration Statement”), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale from time to time by selling stockholders of up to 5,552,784 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) consisting of: (i) 2,944,446 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), (ii) 2,208,338 shares of Common Stock (“PIPE Warrant Shares”) issuable upon the exercise of certain outstanding and issuable Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “PIPE Warrants”), and (iii) up to 400,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Lender Warrant Shares”, and together with the PIPE Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”) issuable upon the exercise of certain Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Lender Warrants”, and together with the PIPE Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Shares and the PIPE Warrants were issued pursuant to those certain Securities Purchase Agreements, dated August 1, 2024, by and among the Company and the selling stockholders named therein (the “SPA”). The PIPE Warrant Shares will be issuable pursuant to the terms of the PIPE Warrants, each dated as of August 2, 2024, by and between the Company and the selling stockholders named therein. 100,000 of the Lender Warrants have been issued pursuant to the loan and security agreement and fee letter between the Lender and the Company dated as of August 2, 2024 (the “Lender Documents”). An additional 300,000 of the Lender Warrants may be issued pursuant to the Lender Documents in the future upon the occurrence of events described in the Lender Documents.
In connection with this opinion letter, we examined originals or copies of such records, instruments, certificates, opinions, memoranda and other documents as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinions expressed below. We have not independently sought to verify factual matters. In conducting our examination, we assumed, without independent investigation, the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures on original documents, the accuracy, completeness and authenticity 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, the accuracy and completeness of all records made available to us by the Company, and the due authorization, execution and delivery by the selling stockholders of all documents where authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the legal effectiveness of such documents. In addition, in connection with this opinion letter, we have assumed that the Common Stock will be offered in the manner and on the terms identified or referred to in the Registration Statement, the accompanying prospectus, including all supplements and amendments thereto.
In addition, in connection with this opinion letter, we have assumed, without independent investigation (i) that the remaining Lender Warrants, if issued, will be issued pursuant to the terms of the Lender Documents and in the form attached thereto, (ii) that the Warrants will be exercised in accordance with their terms and applicable securities laws, in the manner and on the terms identified or referred to in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus, including all supplements and amendments thereto, and before the resale of the Warrant Shares, and (ii) that the Warrant Shares will be duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name and on behalf of the persons exercising the Warrants upon exercise of the Warrants. With respect to the Warrant Shares, we express no opinion to the extent that future issuances of securities of the Company, including the Warrant Shares, and/or antidilution adjustments to outstanding securities of the Company, including the Warrants, may cause the Warrants to be exercisable for more shares of Common Stock than the number that then remain authorized, unissued, unreserved, and available for issuance.
Our opinions herein are limited solely to the matters set forth herein. The law covered by the opinions expressed herein is limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law as in effect on the date hereof (the “DGCL”). We are not admitted to practice in the State of Delaware and, with respect to the opinions set forth below, with your permission, we have (i) limited our review to standard compilations available to us of the DGCL, which we have assumed to be accurate and complete, and (ii) not reviewed case law. We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any jurisdiction are applicable to the subject matter hereof. We are not rendering any opinion with respect to federal law, including federal securities laws, or state blue sky securities laws. It is understood that this opinion letter is to be used only in connection with the offer and resale of the Shares and the Warrant Shares while the Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act.
Based upon, subject to and limited by the foregoing, we are of the opinion that (i) the Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and (ii) upon the valid exercise of the Warrants in accordance with their terms, including proper issuance and delivery to the persons exercising such Warrants of the underlying Warrant Shares duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name of or on behalf of the holder of such Warrants, and the payment in full of the exercise price thereof (not less than par value), all in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, the SPA or the Lender Documents, as applicable, and in accordance with and in the manner described in the Registration Statement, the Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
In giving the opinions set forth above, with respect to the Shares and the Warrant Shares opined on in this opinion letter, we have assumed that at or prior to the time of the delivery of such Shares and Warrant Shares, the authorization of such Shares and Warrant Shares will not have been modified or rescinded, and there will not have occurred any change in law affecting such Shares and Warrant Shares, including their validity or enforceability.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter with the Commission as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus. In giving such consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Commission. This opinion speaks only at and as of its date and is based solely on the facts and circumstances known to us as of such date. In addition, in rendering this opinion, we assume no obligation to revise, update or supplement this opinion (i) should the present aforementioned laws be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise, or (ii) to reflect any facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to our attention.
| Very truly yours, | |
