Movano Inc.

6800 Koll Center Parkway

Pleasanton, California 94566

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as United States tax counsel to Movano Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 6, 2025 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Thor Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Corvex, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Corvex”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time, Corvex will merge into Merger Sub and will continue as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). This opinion is being delivered in connection with the Registration Statement of the Company on Form S-4 filed on February 4, 2026 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as amended and supplemented through the date hereof (including the proxy statement/prospectus forming a part thereof, the “Registration Statement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Registration Statement.

In providing our opinion, we have examined the Merger Agreement, the Registration Statement, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion. In our examination, we have assumed, without independent verification, (i) the authenticity of original documents, (ii) the accuracy of copies and the genuineness of signatures, (iii) that the execution and delivery by each party to a document and the performance by such party of its obligations thereunder have been authorized by all necessary measures and do not violate or result in a breach of or default under such party’s certificate or instrument of formation and by-laws or the laws of such party’s jurisdiction of organization, (iv) that each agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof, (v) that the parties to each agreement have complied, and will comply, with all of their respective covenants, agreements and undertakings contained therein, (vi) that the transactions provided for by each agreement were and will be carried out in accordance with their terms, (vii) that the Merger will be consummated in compliance with the Merger Agreement, and (viii) that the parties have no plan or intention to waive or modify, and have not waived or modified, any of the material terms or conditions in the Merger Agreement. If any of the above described assumptions is untrue for any reason or if the transaction is consummated in a manner that is different from the manner described in the Merger Agreement or the Registration Statement, this opinion may be adversely affected. We have not undertaken any independent investigation of any factual matter set forth in any of the foregoing.

Based on such facts, assumptions and representations and subject to the limitations set forth herein and in the Registration Statement, it is our opinion that the discussion in the Registration Statement under the caption “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger,” addresses the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger and is accurate in all material respects.

We express no opinion on any issue relating to the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the Registration Statement other than the opinion set forth above. Our opinion set forth above is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, published pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service and judicial precedents, all as of the date hereof. The foregoing authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified, and any such change may have retroactive effect. Any change in applicable laws or facts and circumstances surrounding the Merger, or any inaccuracy in the statements, facts, assumptions and representations on which we have relied may affect the validity of the opinion set forth herein. We assume no responsibility to inform the Company of any such change or inaccuracy that may occur or come to our attention. In addition, our opinion is being delivered prior to the consummation of the Merger and therefore is prospective and dependent on future events.

This opinion is furnished to you solely in connection with the Merger, as described in the Merger Agreement and the Registration Statement and this opinion is not to be relied upon for any other purpose without our prior written consent. We hereby consent to use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name therein. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, nor do we admit that we are experts with respect to any part of the Registration Statement within the meaning of the term “experts” as used in the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.
