Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as special counsel to Planet 13 Holdings Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the issuance and sale of up to 21,562,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”, such shares of Common Stock, the “Shares”), including 2,812,500 Shares that may be issued and sold upon the exercise of an over-allotment option, and 21,562,500 warrants (the “Warrants”), each warrant representing the right to purchase one share of Common Stock (such shares, the “Warrant Shares” and collectively with the Shares and the Warrants, the “Securities”), and the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. The Securities have been registered pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-274829) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) on October 2, 2023 and declared effective by the Commission on October 17, 2023 (the “Registration Statement”).

 

This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement, the prospectus contained within the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”) or any supplements to the Prospectus.

 

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have examined and relied upon (i) the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the prospectus supplement thereto dated March 5, 2024 relating to the offering of the Securities (the “Prospectus Supplement”), (ii) the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws as currently in effect, (iii) the Underwriting Agreement, dated March 5, 2024, by and between the Company and Canaccord Genuity LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriting Agreement”); (iv) resolutions of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) and a committee of the Board, in each case, relating to the issuance of the Securities; (v) the Warrant Agency Agreement between the Company and Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company, as warrant agent, dated March 7, 2024 (the “Warrant Agreement”); (vi) the Warrants; and (vii) originals or copies certified to our satisfaction of such records, documents, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below. Based upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations, assumptions, exceptions and qualifications expressed herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, with respect to each of the matters set forth in Paragraphs 1 through 4 below:

 

 

1.

As to questions of fact material to our opinions, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and other representatives of the Company and of public officials.

 

Our opinion herein is expressed solely with respect to the laws of the State of Nevada and the federal laws of the United States.

 

This opinion letter is given as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you after the date hereof of facts or circumstances that come to our attention or changes in the law, including judicial or administrative interpretations thereof, that occur which could affect the opinions contained herein.

 

This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement thereto related to the offering of the Securities and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Securities Act. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed on March 7, 2024 by the Company and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm’s name under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus Supplement. 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 Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
