Public Offering of up to 5,750,000 Units of 1847 Holdings LLC

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to 1847 Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 6, 2017 (Registration No. 333-220844) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement relates to the sale by the Company of (i) 5,750,000 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of one common share (the “Common Shares”), and one warrant to purchase one Common Share (the “Warrants”); and (ii) 5,750,000 Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (together with the Units, the “Registered 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 related prospectus (the “Prospectus”), other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Registered Securities.

 

In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of:

 

 

(a) the Registration Statement;

 

(b) the Certificate of Formation of the Company, dated January 22, 2013, as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on January 22, 2013;

 

(c) the Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of the Company, dated January 19, 2018;

 

(d) a specimen certificate evidencing the Common Shares;

 

(e) a specimen Warrant certificate; and

 

(f) certain resolutions and actions of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the Registered Securities, the registration of the Registered Securities under the Act, and such other relevant matters.

We also have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Company and such agreements, certificates of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company and others, and such other documents, certificates, and records as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth herein.

 

In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the information, factual matters, representations, and warranties contained in such documents. We have also assumed that the persons identified as officers of the Company are actually serving in such capacity and that the Registration Statement will be declared effective. In our examination of documents, we have assumed that the parties thereto, other than the Company, had the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and, other than with respect to the Company, the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, the execution and delivery by all parties of the documents, and the validity and binding effect thereof on such parties.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that (i) upon the sale of the Units as described in the Registration Statement and the receipt of payment by the Company, the Common Shares constituting part of the Units will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and the Warrants constituting part of the Units will be a binding obligation of the Company under Delaware law; and (ii) the Common Shares underlying the Warrants, when issued upon their exercise and the payment of the exercise price, if any, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the matters specifically set forth herein and no other opinion shall be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated. We disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or any changes in applicable law that may come to our attention subsequent to the date the Registration Statement is declared effective.

 

The opinions we express herein are limited to matters involving the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act as currently in effect. We express no opinion regarding the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction or state, including any federal securities laws related to the issuance and sale of the Registered Securities.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and we consent to the reference of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement. In giving the foregoing consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

 

 

 

Very truly yours,
