Re:Registration Statement on Form S-3

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have served as special Nevada counsel to Ondas Holdings Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed on the date hereof, as amended from time to time (the “462(b) Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The 462(b) Registration Statement incorporates by reference the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-252571) filed with the Commission on January 29, 2021, under the Securities Act, and the Notice of Effectiveness of the Commission posted on its website declaring such registration statement effective on February 5, 2021 (the “Initial Registration Statement” and together with the 462(b) Registration Statement, the “Registration Statement”). This opinion is furnished to you in connection with your filing of the 462(b) Registration Statement, which is registering the offering by the Company of up to $11,696,000 of Securities, as defined below.

 

The Registration Statement includes a base prospectus (the “Prospectus”) relating to the proposed offer, issuance and sale, from time to time, pursuant to either or both of Rule 415 and Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act, as set forth in the Registration Statement and the supplements to the Prospectus, by the Company of up to an aggregate offering price of $11,696,000, or the equivalent thereof, of an indeterminate number of securities (the “Securities”) consisting of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), shares of the Company’s preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”), debt securities, which may be senior or subordinated or senior or subordinated convertible or exchangeable, and which may be issued in one or more series (the “Debt Securities”), warrants to purchase any of the securities described above (the “Warrants”) and/or units, in one or more series, comprised of any combination of Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Debt Securities or Warrants, in any combination (the “Units”).

 

The Securities are to be sold from time to time as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the supplements to the Prospectus (the “Prospectus Supplements”). The Securities are to be sold pursuant to a purchase, underwriting, subscription, placement agency or similar agreement, which, in the case of the Securities, will be in substantially the forms previously filed and/or to be filed under a Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Prospectus.

 

In connection with our representation of the Company, and as a basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth, we have relied upon and examined matters of fact, questions of law and documents as we have deemed necessary to render this opinion, including the originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following documents (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Documents”):

 

1. The Registration Statement and exhibits thereto;

2. The Prospectus;

 

3. The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, as amended through the date hereof, certified as of the date hereof by an officer of the Company (the “Articles”);

 

4. The Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, certified as of the date hereof by an officer of the Company (the “Bylaws”);

 

5. Certificate of Existence with Status in Good Standing, certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, dated as of a recent date;

In expressing the opinion set forth below, we have assumed the following:

 

A. Each individual executing any of the Documents, whether on behalf of such individual or any other person, is legally competent to do so.

  

B. All Documents submitted to us as originals are authentic.  The form and content of all Documents submitted to us as unexecuted drafts do not differ in any respect relevant to this opinion from the form and content of such Documents as executed and delivered.  All Documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies conform to the original documents.  All signatures on all such Documents are genuine.  All public records reviewed or relied upon by us or on our behalf are true and complete.  All representations, warranties, statements and information contained in the Documents are true and complete.  There has been no oral or written modification of or amendment to any of the Documents, and there has been no waiver of any provision of any of the Documents, by action or omission of the parties or otherwise.

C. (i) The Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto (including post-effective amendments), will have become effective under the Securities Act; (ii) a Prospectus Supplement will have been filed with the Commission describing the Securities offered thereby; (iii) the Securities will be issued and sold in compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and the applicable Prospectus Supplements; (iv) that a definitive purchase, underwriting, subscription, placement agency or similar agreement with respect to any Securities offered under the Registration Statement will have been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto; (v) that any Securities issuable upon conversion, exchange, redemption or exercise of any Securities being offered will be duly authorized, created and, if appropriate, reserved for issuance upon such conversion, exchange, redemption or exercise; (vi) with respect to shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock (or Debt Securities convertible or exchangeable into, or Warrants exercisable for, Common Stock or Preferred Stock) offered, that there will be sufficient shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock authorized under the Company’s organizational documents that are not otherwise reserved for issuance; (vii) with respect to any Securities issuable upon conversion of any convertible Debt Securities or upon exercise of any Warrants, such convertible Debt Securities or Warrants will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms; and (viii) any Debt Securities or Warrants offered under the Registration Statement, and the related indenture and warrant agreement, will be executed in the forms filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement or incorporated by reference therein.

We render this opinion only with respect to the general corporate law of the State of Nevada as set forth in Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. We neither express nor imply any obligation with respect to any other laws or the laws of any other jurisdiction or of the United States.
