(“Armistice”) as follows (i) 1,355,014 shares upon the conversion of an 18% Original Issue Discount Convertible Debenture dated September 27, 2021 issued to Armistice, and (ii) 1,219,512 shares upon the exercise of a Warrant to Purchase Common Stock dated September 27, 2021 issued to Armistice.

 

I have reviewed the Registration Statement, including the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) that is a part of the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement registers the resales of the Shares by a certain selling stockholder of the Company.

Based on the foregoing and in reliance thereon and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, I am of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized, and when sold pursuant to the terms of the Registration Statement, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable. 

 

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 16 of Form S-1 and Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K.  I consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the caption “Interest of Named Experts and Counsel” in the prospectus which is part of the Registration Statement.
