Exhibit 5.1

 

 

 

May 25, 2022

Can B. Corp.

960 South Broadway

Suite 120

Hicksville, NY 11801

 

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-1/A No. 3

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as special counsel to Can B Corp., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the proposed issuance of up to an aggregate of $24,606,406 of (A) Class A Units (the “Class A Units”), each consisting of (i) one share (collectively, the “Shares”) of common stock, Nil par value per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company and (ii) one Series X Common Stock Purchase Warrant (collectively, the “Series X Warrants”) to purchase one share of Common Stock (collectively, the “Series X Warrant Shares”); (B) Class B Units (the “Class B Units” and together with the Class A Units, the “Units”), each consisting of (i) one Series Y Prefunded Common Stock Purchase Warrant (collectively, the “Pre-Funded Warrants,” and together with the Series X Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase one share of Common Stock (the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares,” and together with the Series X Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”); and (C) Series X Warrants. The Units, the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are included in a registration statement on Form S-1/A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 9, 2022 (Registration No. 333-260882) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”). The terms “Shares,” “Warrants” and “Warrant Shares” shall include any additional securities registered by the Company pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Act in connection with the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement. 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 related prospectus (the “Prospectus”), other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Shares and the Warrants.

 

As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. We are opining herein as to the internal laws of the State of Florida and Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”), and we express no opinion with respect to any other laws.

 

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof:

 

  1. When the Shares shall have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name or on behalf of the purchasers and have been issued by the Company against payment therefor in the circumstances contemplated by the form of underwriting agreement most recently filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, the issue and sale of the Shares will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that the Company will comply with all applicable notice requirements regarding uncertificated shares provided in the FBCA.

 

 C: 
  C: 1 

 

 

  2. When the Warrants shall have been duly registered on the records maintained by the Company for that purpose in the name or on behalf of the purchasers, and have been issued by the Company against payment therefor in the circumstances contemplated by the form of underwriting agreement most recently filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, the issue and sale of the Warrants will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and the Warrants will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
     
  3. When the Series X Warrant Shares initially issuable upon exercise of the Series X Warrants shall have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name of or on behalf of the Series X Warrant holders, and have been issued by the Company against payment therefor (not less than par value) in the circumstances contemplated by the Series X Warrants, the Series X Warrant Shares will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
     
  4. When the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares initially issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants shall have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name of or on behalf of the Pre-Funded Warrant holders, and have been issued by the Company against payment therefor (not less than par value) in the circumstances contemplated by the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

In rendering the opinions in paragraphs (3) and (4) above, we have assumed that the Company will comply with all applicable notice requirements regarding uncertificated shares provided in the FBCA.

 

Our opinions set forth in numbered paragraph 2 are subject to: (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors; (ii) the effect of general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought; (iii) we express no opinion as to (a) any provision for liquidated damages, monetary penalties or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty, (b) consents to, or restrictions upon, governing law, jurisdiction, venue, arbitration, remedies, or judicial relief, (c) waivers of rights or defenses, (d) any provision requiring the payment of attorneys’ fees, where such payment is contrary to law or public policy, (e) 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, (f) waivers of broadly or vaguely stated rights, (g) provisions for exclusivity, election or cumulation of rights or remedies, (h) provisions authorizing or validating conclusive or discretionary determinations, (i) proxies, powers and trusts, (j) provisions prohibiting, restricting, or requiring consent to assignment or transfer of any right or property, and (k) the severability, if invalid, of provisions to the foregoing effect.

 

We have assumed (a) that the Warrants have been or will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto other than the Company, (b) that such securities constitute or will constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto other than the Company, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms, and (c) that the status of the Warrants as legally valid and binding obligations of the parties will not be affected by any (i) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments, (ii) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders, or (iii) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or to make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities.

 

This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Act. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm in the Prospectus under the heading “Legal Matters.” We further consent to the incorporation by reference of this letter and consent into any registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) with respect to the Shares and the Warrants. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

 

  Respectfully Submitted,
   
  /s/ Dodson Robinette PLLC
