  Re: SS Innovations International, Inc.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to SS Innovations International, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on the date hereof of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) including a base prospectus (the “Base Prospectus”), which provides that the Base Prospectus will be supplemented by one or more prospectus supplements (each such prospectus supplement, together with the Base Prospectus, a “Prospectus”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Registration Statement relates to, among other things, the registration for issue and sale by the Company from time to time of up to $150,000,000 aggregate amount of one or more of the following securities of the Company: (i) shares of the Company’s common stock (“Shares”); (ii) preferred shares in the capital of the Company (“Preferred Shares”); (iii) warrants to purchase Shares, Preferred Shares and/or Debt Securities (as defined below), or any combination thereof (“Warrants”); (iv) one or more series of the Company’s debt securities (collectively, “Debt Securities”) to be issued under an indenture to be entered into between the Company, as issuer, and a trustee (a “Trustee”) (a form of which will be included as an exhibit to a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or as an exhibit to a report filed on Form 8-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (an “Indenture”); (v) subscription rights evidencing the right to purchase Shares, Preferred Shares and/or Debt Securities or any combination thereof (“Rights”);(vi) units that include any of the Shares, Preferred Shares, Warrants, Rights, and/or Debt Securities, in any combination (the “Units”), in each case as contemplated by the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement also qualifies the sale of 5,016,500 Shares offered on a resale basis by certain selling shareholders of the Company, including 541,667 Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants (the “Warrant Shares”).

 

The Warrants may be issued under one or more warrant agreements (each, a “Warrant Agreement”) between the Company and a third party to be identified therein as warrant agent. The Rights may be issued under one or more rights agreements (each, a “Rights Agreement”) between the Company and a third party to be identified therein as rights agent. The Units may be issued under one or more unit agreements (each, a “Unit Agreement”) between the Company and a third party to be identified therein as unit agent.

 

The Shares, Warrants, Debt Securities, Rights and Units, plus any additional Shares, Warrants, Debt Securities, Rights, and Units that may be registered pursuant to any subsequent registration statement that the Company may hereafter file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Act in connection with an offering by the Company contemplated by the Registration Statement, are referred to herein collectively 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 the related Prospectuses, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Securities.

 

In connection with this opinion, we have examined the Registration Statement including the Prospectus, originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Company’s articles of incorporation and by laws, as amended (the “Charter Documents”), by laws and such corporate records, certificates of public officials and other documents and instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable. In such examination, we have assumed without verification the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied on certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company.

 

We have assumed for purposes of our opinion that the Indenture will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee, that the Indenture will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Trustee, and that the Trustee has the requisite organizational and legal power and authority to perform its obligations under the Indenture.

 

We have also assumed for purposes of our opinion that, (i) if any Debt Securities are issued, such Debt Securities will only be issued pursuant to the Indenture in the form that will be filed with the Commission and that there will not have occurred any change in law affecting the validity or enforceability of the Debt Securities, (ii) at or prior to the time of the delivery of any Securities in connection with the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Registration Statement will have been declared effective under the Securities Act and no stop order suspending the Registration Statement’s effectiveness will have been issued and remain in effect and (iii) the registration will apply to such Securities and will not have been modified or rescinded and that there will not have occurred any change in law affecting the validity of the issuance of such Securities at the time of the offer, issuance and sale of any Securities. We have also assumed that the terms of any Securities to be established subsequent to the date hereof, the issuance and delivery of Securities subsequent to the date hereof and the compliance by the Company with the terms of such Securities will not violate any applicable law (including, without limitation, any law relating to usury) or result in a violation of any provision of any instrument or agreement then binding upon the Company or any restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company.

 

This opinion is qualified by, and is subject to:

 

(i) the effect of the laws of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other similar laws now or hereinafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, including the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent transfers or preferential transfers;

 

(ii) the effect of general principles of equity and similar principles, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, public policy and unconscionability, the possible unavailability of specific performance and the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought;

 

(iii) injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

 

(iv) the effect of laws relating to usury or permissible rates of interest for loans, forebearances or the use of money; and

 

(v) the invalidity under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the indemnification of or contribution to a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy.

We express no opinion as to (i) any provision for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty, (ii) consents to, or restrictions upon, governing law, jurisdiction, venue, arbitration, remedies or judicial relief, (iii) waivers of rights or defenses, (iv) any provision requiring the payment of attorneys’ fees, where such payment is contrary to law or public policy, (v) any provision permitting, upon acceleration of any Debt Security, collection of that portion of the stated principal amount thereof which might be determined to constitute unearned interest thereon, (vi) the creation, validity, attachment, perfection, or priority of any lien or security interest, (vii) advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitation, trial by jury or at law, or other procedural rights, (viii) waivers of broadly or vaguely stated rights, (ix) provisions for exclusivity, election or cumulation of rights or remedies, (x) provisions authorizing or validating conclusive or discretionary determinations, (xi) grants of setoff rights, (xii) proxies, powers and trusts, (xiii) provisions prohibiting, restricting, or requiring consent to assignment or transfer of any right or property, (xiv) provisions purporting to make a guarantor primarily liable rather than as a surety, (xv) provisions purporting to waive modifications of any guaranteed obligation to the extent such modification constitutes a novation, (xvi) any provision to the extent it requires that a claim with respect to a security denominated in other than U.S. dollars (or a judgment in respect of such a claim) be converted into U.S. dollars at a rate of exchange at a particular date, to the extent applicable law otherwise provides, (xvii) any provision to the extent it requires that a claim with respect to the Debt Securities (or a judgment in respect of such a claim) be converted into U.S. dollars at a rate of exchange at a particular date, to the extent applicable law otherwise provides, and (xviii) the severability, if invalid, of provisions to the foregoing effect.

 

The Company has informed us that the Company intends to issue the Securities (other than the Shares registered for resale by the selling shareholders) from time to time on a delayed or continuous basis. This opinion is limited to the laws, including the rules and regulations, as in effect on the date hereof. We are basing this opinion on our understanding that, prior to issuing any Securities, the Company will: (i) advise us in writing of the terms thereof and other information material thereto; (ii) afford us an opportunity to review the operative documents pursuant to which such Securities are to be issued (including the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement and, in the case of Debt Securities, the Indenture, as then in effect); and (iii) file such supplement or amendment to this opinion (if any) as we may reasonably consider necessary or appropriate with respect to such Securities. We also assume the Company will (a) timely file all supplements to the Registration Statement and Prospectus as are necessary to comply with applicable laws in effect from time to time and (b) amend its Charter Documents to increase the authorized number of shares of its capital stock if the number of such shares to be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement would cause the Company to issue more shares than it has authorized. However, we undertake no responsibility to monitor the Company’s future compliance with applicable laws, rules or regulations of the Commission or other governmental body.

 

Based upon the foregoing and the examination of such legal authorities as we have deemed relevant, and subject to the qualifications and further assumptions set forth below, we are of the opinion that:
